If you assume a 100% markup to retail, I don't think you are even getting the forgings for $200. Machine time plus a barrel.. not gonna happen.

Ok, I have another one. The avengers. The reboot of the 60s tv show one, not the marvel comics one. Hoo-boy a huge pile o stink in a can.

Bullet shape matters more in rifle than in pistol. In pistol, bullet shape CAN affect the case volume you are left with when seated to a given OAL. This has the most effect, but I tend to jsut look up the powder data, never start at the max end, and as a sanity check look at the lead and HP data for the given powder/cartridge/bullet weight. If the HP vs. FMJ has a much narrower range for the HP than FMJ, the powder is probably very volume sensitive so work up accordingly. If you want to start someplace higher than start, I look at the max load of lead for the same weight/powder/caliber and start there. For rifle, profile affects bearing surface, can do so dramatically, and affects max charge more. For example, take the 60gr nosler partition bullet vs. the 60 nosler varmint bullet and the 64gr nosler bonded core. If you go look at the nosler data, you will see that the 2 60 grainers have a lower max charge than the 64 grain head. THe reality is that is because the partition 60gr head is FAT with a huge bearing surface that generates higher pressures. I load the partition to 24.5gr of TAC, which is nosler's max load. You can do more for 5.56 pressures, but you are actually entering the realm of where the cartridge is having to work. the 60gr varmint round, even reaming the military brass and thus leaving a bit more space to flatten, doesn't look like you fired anything other than the firing pin dent in the primer. Even using nosler's data the 64gr has a higher max charge than the 60 grain bullets as the 64gr has a less fat and stubby profile. Heck even in ramshot's data for tac, the partition has a lower max charge with a higher pressure than 62gr m855 bullets and 62gr barnes TSX copper bullets (which protrude farther into the case. For ramshots data for accurate 2520, the partition maxes out at 25.6, and the hornady 68gr maxes out at 25.8 with less than 200 more psi at max charge (granted the hronady is loaded a couple hundredths longer as well). With pistol rounds, you only see really dramatic changed in bearing surface length when you get into some really weird projectiles.

The difference in barrel profiles is going to affect how long it takes to heat them up, and when they heat up how much they change shape. However, once it heat soaks, a lighter barrel will cool off more quickly. The other thing it affects is barrel rigidity. IN general decreased rigidity with increase barrel harmonics, and decrease accuracy unless the harmonic leaves the muzzle as a nodal point for a given cartridge. There are two ways to mitigate this. Barrel fluting is one. It still heats up faster than a big fat bull barrel, but also cools down faster, and retains a lot of the regidity of a bull profile of equivalent diameter due to the fluting. Another are carbon fiber wrapped barrels. You get the rigidity of a bull barrel, and CF dissipates heat faster than steel. It is also light. Good luck sourcing one without dropping the cash on a whole custom rifle that might be finished sometime before you are dead. Maybe. Myself, I don't like true M4 cut barrels because the grenade launcher cut is just asking for stringing when it heats up. For 5.56 I like fluted HBAR barrels for accuracy, and standard mid weight barrels for run and gun. Both are compromises for their given job. For a bigger projectile like a 6.8 I'd probably go with a beefier mid-weight style profile like black hole weaponry uses, or go with a fluted SPR or HBAR profile. Wilson makes a lightwieght profile though. If you plan on carrying something a lot, lightness counts a lot. For real practical purposes I wouldn't touch 6.8. It's not bad ballistically, it's just very poorly supported. It needs scarce ammo, or if you want to make your own, scarce brass and bullets. If you want something oddball, 6mmx45 or 300 blackout are bit more sane. Both are formed off .223 brass and use more common bullets. 6mm is popular in benchrest and is shared with the fairly popular .243 cartridge. .300 use good old .30 caliber bullets that .308, .30-06, etc. use. so.. Part of me is tempted to make a 6mmx45 upper.

It's not irony. Having met a number of people who publish self help books, pretty much every one of them had lives that were total wrecks. Most of them other than the more famous ones that make a business out of it mostly have jsut shelled out huge piles of money trying to get the answers on how to make life work, and are just trying to get on the money earning side of the line.

Round count is technically 58, but a number of the stages are comstock, so your mileage may vary. Unless they are joining, it's a premium price for not a lot of shooting. The only other issue is that I wouldn't regard a new shooter who only shot this as having been fully vetted as not a hazard. That judgment isn't done jsut at the new shooter session, but based on the performance during the match.

Don't shoot your finger off. They digest ammo fine. Only issue seems to be frame cracking with early production runs. AS a blow back design, springs will seriously effect function, and at least in the past, spares were very hard to come by.

This law was always a double edged sword. Yes it prevents people form palying moral vigilante, but it also makes it harder to demonstrate the inequity in how carry permits are doled out and demonstrate a pattern.

Quoting because this is the most cogent summary of the situation. The only thing to add is if it does wind up creating a bunch of false positive denials, you can appeal at the federal level, and the federal laws about what counts have not changed. It'll probably be a huge PITA though if this snags you.

The problem is that as a camera, it is not better than the gopro bricks. On top of that, once you ditch rail mounts on rifles and side of helmet mount, even the form factor isn't superior. For the form factor it has, there are a LOT of similar form factor competitors at this point. I'll bet at this point, every major gadget maker in china has one or more of a similar item in production.

There are about 7 things to practice for 90% of the classifiers. We generally don't disseminate them before set up as it doesn't help much for anyone, and often opens up a can of worms.

It's the HTML escape sequence for a blank space.

Everyone is put in squad 1 because the software defaults to squad 0, and if you are in squad 0 I have to go change it for EVERY SINGLE PERSON by hand so I can export anything. Needless to say this SUUUUUUCKS. It has nothing top do with who is on what squad at the match.

FYI, the notion that this guy got royally screwed is also floating around the lefty end of the Internet.

Federal law requires a 16" minimum barrel length. Nj has an assault weapons ban, and with a detachable mag and pistol grip, you can't also have the threaded barrel. So even over 16", you need a crowned barrel, or something that covers the threads and is permanently attached.

A landlord can do so via contract. However, in doing so they take upon themselves and increased responsibility to ensure the safety of their tenants. Ny making it state law, the state avoids issues of the contract being under duress, and taking on additional liability.

It's more a matter of saving money on environmental compliance for training areas and keeping training areas open. Most of the green ammo costs significantly more, but so does regular remediation of training areas.

One. Local politician.

So you spent all this time arguing with reasonable suggestions, got ruger to spend money on you, and NOW you try to gently remove it?

I would like to take him up on his scenario. Where's the axe handle and when can I get an appointment.

Considering how fast the GPS chip eats through the large capacity lithium battery, I'm pretty sure a few capacitors aren't going to cut it for much. I highly doubt they'd make it to acquiring the satellite signals as most of what makes that seem so quick with cells is funny tricks with tower locations and wifi signal maps.

The filming got hit by some sever flooding. The wound up with about half the film in the can, lost their sets, and most of their budget to fix them. It also introduced some serious issues with availability of cast and crew, and the production company went bankrupt by the time they hit post production. Here's an article about the floods, they were pretty severe. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2335696/Prague-water-floods-claim-ELEVEN-lives-Europe-threaten-German-city-Dresden.html

It is NOT an add on charge like some states have "use a gun go to jail" laws. They are an add on to another offense. You in theory could be charged with illegal possession of a hollow point and nothing else. In practice, you usually have to do something else to warrant a search that turns up the hollow point. Short of having them in plain view without a reasonable claim to legality, finding them would require probable cause, which is unlikely to exist if you aren't doing something else. Hence it will always tend ot look like an add on charge. Which leads me back to the best advice I ever got form an LEO: Never break more than one law at a time.

Hmm is it jsut me, or does anyone else find it odd that you are going to drop $100 to use a cheap video streamer rather than just having dropped $100 on a roku3 or similar that supports the services you want?

Yes. Federal. NJ has it's own definitions of what constitutes a transfer. If the right set of rules have not been followed, me lending you a firearm at the range so you cna try it out and run a mag through it is considered a transfer. IF the range is a club that follows certain rules about submitting membership roles, then it's not. NJ is full of stupid.
