No no. No fun switch.  It will have however a muzzle...(Suppressor) just to keep it hearing safe and not piss off too many neighbors.  Have to think through if will be for all 1k or half kr what.

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.

The first "other firearm" as made by Franklin Armory had straight barrels and how it worked with the current rules.

These "other firearms" do so by using a pistol brace AND the vertical grip... so they do contain a regular rifled barrel.

1 in 7 is pretty much the standard twist rate nowadays and should be good for any 55 through 77 grain bullets you throw at it.

Will do some 300 yard accuracy testing in the next few weeks, as soon as I get some match grade ammo from friends at Hornady.

Maks,  thanks for the prompt reply.  Btw, I just posted my own Ruger RPR 556/223 1:7 twist match ammo results in a thread in the Ammo and Reloading section.  You may find it of interest.   (Unfortunately, I do not have any friends at Hornady, Sig, or Black Hills, etc.  LOL)

Am going to keep a limit as well, this is not a public range. lol.  And we are not getting crazy here. 

Roger. I'm down at Long Beach Island. I was hoping to leave tonight, but we finally have some sun today. When I pick up mine we'll have to break it in.

Standard twist rate.  ARs generally have 1/7, 1/8, 1/9 or sometimes even 1/12 twist rate.  The slower twist rates (1/9, 1/12) are more meant for lighter, varmint type rounds (under 55gr bullets).  1/7 twist rate can stabilize up to like a 85gr bullet or even higher.  It's more for stability and accuracy than safety (though if you tried to put an 80gr .223 through a 1/16 twist barrel, you're not going to have a great time)...

I rented the Troy this morning at Longshot and must say that I was really impressed with the handling characteristics and absence of recoil.  I only put 50 rounds through because buying ammo at range will make you poor quickly but it really is a well made and balanced firearm.  And of course it's pretty loud esp in an indoor range but that's to be expected.

If I wasn't waiting for a 9mm NJ legal SBF I would pick one up.

Why not get both? =)

The Troy flash hider actually does a decent job with reducing recoil as well.  Was fairly impressed although after hundreds of rounds, with a few machine guns sprinkled in... your shoulder does start to feel it a tad.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
