Hey I resemble that remark!

Don't stick it crazy.I speak from experience.

You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire

Welcome from Tampa Bay, Florida, formerly Warren County, NJ!

The heat of passion....

Welcome to the forums, Torkk! Keep an eye on the Events area - it's a nice way to get off the keyboard and put faces to names.

I had to laugh. A male reporter on Fox 29 was on with 'new information' early yesterday evening. One of the new items was that the rifle had been identified as an "AK-15". I rewound that several times to make sure I got it right. I'm a stickler for detail.

I purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in 556/223 about 18 months ago (i.e. before they discontinued it in that caliber). It has a 1:7 twist rate. Have been to the range with it six times and shot at 100 yards. My primary objective during all those visits was to test various brands and grain weights of ammo, most of which were match grade ammo(think $1-1.25 per round), to see what performed best. Then I could focus my purchases on just those. (Btw, I regard myself as a novice precision shooter. However I did stay in a Holiday Inn, lol.) Shot from a bench with a bi-pod in front and a mono-pod in rear of rifle. I compiled the results into a spreadsheet, and fortunately a pattern did emerge. As expected 70 and higher grain weights performed best. Not sure if these results will apply equally to a semi-auto AR with 1:7 twist. Perhaps barrel length may also matter. The results are shown in the screenshot below. Those in Red are all over 1 MOA. Thus off my shopping list. Notice they were generally the lighter grain weights. The two standouts are the SigSauer #E223M1 and Hornady #80267 which averaged 0.678 and 0.784 respectively. The Hornady is a bit less expensive at .75 per round. whereas the Sig is $1/round. For me, rows 2 thru 6 are now my "go to" rounds when shopping for precision ammo for my RPR. There is still a place for the cheaper 55 grain stuff. E.g. for warming up, shooting steel plates at 100 yards, etc. So will usually also have some of that on had.

Maks, Cannot make it this weekend but thanks for invite. I did watch your video on Slav Guns this evening and subscribed! This firearm in 556 is really of growing interest to me. I do not currently own an AR. I noticed the specs of the gun state it has a 1:7 twist rate. (As does the Dark Storm DS-15) Is that correct that it has conventional rifling? I.e. no different than any other AR. The reason I ask, is somewhere I recently read about an "Other Firearm" that has straight or no rifling, which made it legal, albeat inaccurate past 100 yards or so. Appreciate any clarification you can provide on this point.

Tony13, My first thought is that the weld material covering the pin should be aluminum since the comp is aluminum. A drill should be able to get through that, but you run the risk of breaking the drill bit off when it gets through the aluminum and encounters the pin. I'd try operating on the weld with a Dremel tool or a jeweler's file to get to the pin. Remove enough material to expose the full diameter of the pin. Hopefully it's a roll pin and not a solid pin, right? And it's likely in a blind hole. And it's likely made of spring steel. Trying to screw a tap or screw into the pin usually doesn't work. Pack as much grease into the pin as you can. Or, maybe drops of oil if you have zero luck with the grease. Find a pin punch that's a close fit to the inside diameter of the pin, put it into the center of the pin and deliver a sharp smack to the grease or oil. The hydraulic pressure will force the pin out. I've done this with bushings in blind holes before and this is like a miniature version of that process. DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR EYE PRO ON FIRST! -Longranger

Do you have a lower nearby? If not the upper is just a bunch of parts.

Are you sure it’s not galleria ninjitsu?

Somehow, I seriously doubt Hill is an NRA member, and I’m 100% positive he obtained his firearms illegally. Mayor Kinney is merely deflecting blame away from himself and the systematic failures of the city of Philadelphia.

I believe the ATF is specifically targeting the blade type and other hard plastic/metal braces for reclassification as stocks and no longer arm braces. I think the softer SB and Sig type braces will be left alone.... for now.

Take a piece of tape and put it over a snap cap or a spent casing and see if ya get a primer strike

Yes

Ha!! Me too! Why is it funny...because I’m old?!

Same. I recognize the characters in both photos. I must be missing the humor part...

Sorry, I know I qualify as an "old-timer" and I know the pictures are of Gumby and his horse Pokey. The bottom picture is from Davey & Goliath (Goliath being the dog), otherwise I must be missing something. Maybe it is because of my deprived childhood? Adios, Pizza Bob
