For a teen I'd go right to a .22 lever action rifle. As long as said teen is good at following directions.

If a bullet doesn't shoot good till its close to max or above find another bullet. Its not worth it.

Yep. I don’t know why people think the sky is falling. Colt has always put law enforcement and military contracts first, (and should, as they are primarily a .mil/LEO supplier), but always resume civilian production once contracts are filled. Many people don’t realize that they have one production line for rifles. This means that your Colt 6920 is built on exactly the same production line as a military M4. Just a different roll mark, and trigger group. They build different rifles in batches too, so one production run maybe AR15A4’s, then the next run 6940’s, or 6920OEMs. One never knows production schedule.

Dark Storm Industries recently visited the range!

So I forgot to post an update on this. I went to the museum in the beginning of August with my 1911 in an OWB holster under my t shirt (pretty obvious I was carrying) we were some of the only people there and about halfway through we were approached by an employee of the museum and he asked how we were liking our visit so far..........I explained that I strongly disagree with their new anti gun stance and that they might as well hang a bunch of replicas on their walls and sent the real guns off to museums that accually care about the preservation of history. I also told him that I came there with the intention of donating money and had plans to start bringing my daughter to reenactments but will do neither now because of their anti gun policys. The guy was mouth wide open speechless and definitely looked at the large bulge on my right hip several times but didn't say crap about it. Finally right in front of the guy I told my daughter that we had to go because gun free zones are not safe places to be. Lol. It's too bad because it's a pretty nice museum and it's only about an hour from my house

I was going to get a RWS 34 but ended up with an Xisico XS25 which is a Chinese clone. That one slides in under your budget, unlike the real RWS

There is a similar thread where I posted updated information regarding how long it took for the process to work for me. I can't find it. To sum it up: instead of 5 1/2 months, the new process takes 3 1/2 months. I submitted the application on line on 30 April, the Criminal History Check was completed on 5 May, the Application was approved on 7 July, the Permits were typed up on 30 July, and I got the phone call to pick them up on 13 August. Hope this helps.

This is a lesson on helping a horse to water... you fools and your folly

I sense great potential similarity...

That 9mm was way fun to shoot. Yes for the extra bucks you do get better upgrades. Hah. Look at that lurker behind you maks

There's the concept of mootness. It exists because cases have been mooted. There's talk of them ignoring the mootness issue because there is precedent for that as well. Here's a nice quote form scotusblog on mootness and why it is a thing With regard to that it's very clear this case is a focus for a lot of impassioned, zealous arguing, and has not been abandoned to the whims of the court alone. The fact that the state is still hand waving at the ends-means justification says they still care about their position. As do the 8 bajillion amicus briefs on both sides. As does all the attempts to moot it, and then re-moot it even more. Additionally, when the state law was promoted, there was public discussion by those people who wanted the city to avoid SCOTUS as to if it could be used to impose the exact same restrictions. To which the answer was yes. Regardless of their intent to affect honest mootness, or to game the system while avoiding the court, the fact that the answer was yes shows that the issue is not in fact truly moot. To add to that, NY does not have state preemption laws. The fact that statute exists means NOTHING has changed compared to the day before it existed, and SCOTUS didn't grant their mootness request then. It in fact insisted they stop dragging their ass and get past the mootness bullshit. To which the response was to get the state statute passed and go nah man it's moot yo! And then pretend they don't have to answer the court. I still stand by my opinion that the only way this isn't getting heard is if their was some huge internal shift on how the votes would go, and granting mootness would be defensively advisable. I'm not sure that would happen even then as the implication would be the new majority could keep it in play to screw us. IMO if there were a change to the vote liklihood, it would just turn the case form a big question to a narrow question.

two words: pirate bay because why waste the $2 at redbox?

Why are you using h335 with such a light bullet? H335 is supposed to be used to mimic military loads. And starting at 26+ grains is over max recommended charge from Hodgson's load data.

Here is a much cheaper solution

And yes, I agree that you should not have to spend $1000000s and go through potentially losing much more than just assets. Just to clear your name and defend yourself (in court) after engaging in a self-defense situation. Especially involving an intruder in your own home. We can all imagine how such a HD shooting would turn out for the victim in this state.

Hillary by a landslide?

there are lots of cheap ARs out there now.. as Johnny said.. budget builds...

You better swallow then.

Yes and no. I've been flirting with buying a thermal scope for a couple of years. The prices have come down quite a bit over the past 5 years and will come down even more when ATN or FLIR get their hands on more advanced tech. You can get what is now considered a crappy scope for well under $2,000.00, but that same scope 10 years ago probably sold for 7 grand. I'm waiting for the next best thing to emerge so I can jump on a thermal scope that has a 640 sensor, at least 60fps, and at least a 40mm objective.

Maybe a problem with your operating rod spring, you may want to replace that. It could also be that your gas cylinder or operating rod end is out of spec (worn) and that will cause issues with ftf/fte. Other causes could include a bent operating rod, or a receiver that is not straight (common with reweld receivers).

So let me get this straight. You basically blacklisted Gander because Paypal restricts paying for gun parts ?
