I don't get it. Urkraine didn't join NATO, that would be an fu to putin. Buying some crap platform rifles from a company that doesn't even make firearms seems really fishy and that u.s. company making the firearms is Ukrainian also.

I'm aware of that, I'm just skeptical of the whole thing. Either they are joining NATO or they are not. The prototype rifle is just a jab at Russia coming from the Ukrainians and i doubt Russia cares. Ukraine doesn't seem like it's in a financial postion to change over there primary platform which is 5.45 &7.62x39 over to 5.56 which is the idea with that rifle without financial help from the u.s. or NATO. Urkraine is probably sitting on massive amounts of Soviet era small arms and ammo why waste it?
It's certainly an interesting topic because all this is about land expansion. It's funny not much has changed since ww2. The Soviets loved there "buffer" zones (invasion of the Baltic states , Finland, etc). While the U.s./euro continues its influence expansion closer to the Russian borders it's no coincidence the annexation or Crimea happened.

My guess is that they'll try to get the US to subsidize the arms. Then around 2020 they'll ask for more money to switch over to 5.56mm in exchange for joining NATO. Then they can "borrow" ammunition whenever they participate in operations with countries using 5.56mm. Like that guy at the range that comes to shoot with you, but only brings one box of ammo.

HAHAHAHA  No fucking joke, Igor is my mom's cousin.  He owns a company that makes blimps. 

I was just talking to his dad about this in November when he was in NJ for my Grandma's 80th birthday party.  I thought nothing of it.  This is awesome!!!!!

I'm confused by this too. How is a Jewish immigrant from Ukraine making guns in the US is a Neo Nazi. 

Maybe this will clear things up some.

Company is State Run. I wasn't referring to the American design company that they partnered with.

How does this article from 2014 link those far right guys to the Ukroboronprom and the deal with aero? Most if not all of those guys are not in office currenty and the svoboda(freedom) party currently has almost zero influence in the government. Not disagreeing just don't see the link.

article says :::::::::::: a modernized variant of the famous M16 assault rifle, extensively used as primary infantry weapon by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps since 1994, as well as in more than 50 other nations. :::::::::::::::::::

 but i thought the m16 has been in service since viet nam?

I'm surprised you don't, from your forum activity on a vast of other forums you are a collector of especially Finnish items. The conflict in that area is still very alive and is very interesting to follow.

Odd articles pop up time to time showing not much has changed as far as Soviet/Russian ambitions.

I actually do follow the politics. I hate admitting Russia I believe is right in Crimea. Yes I collect Finnish Military items from Civil War to Lapland War. Also the target rifles. Unfortunately NJ doesn't allow me to own newer Valmet Semis or I probably would.

 

 

You are correct about the Russians today. There is a Finnish saying that covers it. A Russian is a Russian even if you fry them in oil.

 

 

I really don't buy newer rifles.

That sounds like CNN trying to connect Trump to Richard Spencer.  Come on dude. 
It's just one article not going to debate it, but Scott Creighton did a good job covering Ukraine if you want to learn more. I'm not a big fan of him but I can recognize good reporting.

Neo Nazi's are not far right.  They are far left.  Think black Lives Matter and Antifa
Not sure if that translates in this case "neo nazis" in urkraine are very anti communism, anti atheist, socially conservative .....in their own way of course.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
