  1. No.. dear god no. Look man the diameter in a cartridge name isn't really meaningful without a spec. Some are the size at the lands, some are the size at the grooves, and some are the bullet diameter that gets smashed down somewhat in the shooitng and may not actually really match either the lands or grooves. Some are just a convenient approximation of the above. Ignore the name unless buying boxed ammo, and read the spec. For example 9mm parabellum is 9mm right? That's 0.354331 inches. The bullets are .355 whcih is 9.01mm. The saami spec for land diameter is 8.82mm and the groove diameter is 9.02mm. So yeah.
  2. Shh let me tell you a secret. Most if those shotguns sold by all those manufacturers? The majority without wood stocks? Their stocks are plastic. Based on watching the development videos, I'm going to guess they switched to polycarbonate tube. Its not a home depot build anymore. They went with fancier steel pipe. 4130 iirc.
  3. There are also videos of development on it depicting where it failed with slugs and was redesigned. There's an overall update coming out 9pm tonight about all the changes. Also keep in mind it is meant to be disposable. hence the liberator.
  4. It's a revolver setup, so there will be cylinder gap. That's where it's coming from. Plastic is strong stuff. A lot stronger than most people intuit. My first concern is how much heat it tolerates for how long as that is a much shorter path to delamination and shape distortion.
  5. The chambers in the cylinder are steel, as is the barrel. Plenty of people have made single shots out of the materials used. The only thing I see of general concern is that I'd want to verify the cylinder timing hasn't gone off due to wear prior to operation. There's also issues with heat and material choice. So type of filament used will matter, as will fill type used in printing.
  6. All the parts taking pressure are metal.
  7. https://www.guns.com/news/2020/02/04/homemade-3d-printed-12-gauge-shotgun 3d printed parts combined with home depot make for a pretty slick overall design. Seems pretty well conceived and executed.
  8. The people pushing gun control are very interested in developing a voter base that is in constant fear of something with the only option for a resolution being voting yet again for the politician or party that says only they can fix it. Their goal is to make the problem seem maximally threatening to that population, and to destroy the opposition voting block associated with it. Not a one of them is actually trying to fix anything. They are trying to farm votes and destroy your political power and that is it.
  9. Part of it is probably tradition in that the first rds setups on pistols involved frame mounted mounts that obscured the slide serrations on most pistols. I'm guessing they stick around because with mrds setups, you can smudge and push around soot potentially making the sight less clear.
  10. You will pay more by the time it is together, but you can buy a bare chassis for like $30 on gunbroker pretty regularly. PIstol legos. Mmmmm.
  11. That's a lot of sentence fragments there that fail to convey a coherent idea. OR if the questions is about buying or selling. C&R is fairly useless sin NJ, so no real point in getting one.
  12. Midway is reputable, but unless there is a good sale, they usually aren't reasonably priced. I usually get my rifle bullets from midsouth shooters supply. Powder and primers usually from powder valley Inc or midsouth. I buy a lot of pistol bullets and brass from nereloading
  13. It's. H&K. So the answer will be screw you. They either won't do it, or it will cost as much as buying a whole gun.
  14. Looks to me like it may be an inherent design problem with the materials chosen for the G44. Most .22 ammo is kind of garbage. You will at some point get an out of battery detonation of a round, and based on my experience the bigger and chunkier the bolt, the more it happens. The rim o the cartridge doesn't help. The G44 tries to contain it with a plastic slide. Which it seems to do. But at the cost of cracking the plastic slide. $359 is a bit steep for a disposable pistol IMO.
  15. They were removed because officially because they required a lot of service. Unofficially because they were set up to short customers. I've never met a machine that was accurate. Best I ever saw was ~7% error and it's ALWAYS under-counting. Wherever you have a bank account should accept rolled coins as a deposit. My account just jams them into a roll gauge and if it fits right, they take it. If it doesn't they give it back and tell you to redo it. I usually go through the process whenever it looks like I have ~$300 or more in change. and the hard part is sorting and rolling them. I've got a hand crank coin sorter. Cost less than the last mis-count by a bank. I'm usually in and out of the bank in about 15 minutes.
  16. It was close to 2 am, which is solid in the peak hours for alcohol involved single vehicle accidents.
  17. Gold and silver are a shit investment. Unless radically mis-priced, they are just an inflation hedge and stable. Paper is worth shit as it's mostly backed by either nothing, something under 15% of the paper value in money, or more paper in the form of mining contracts. Metal is also kind of worth jack shit the market for turning metal into cash and vice versa has a premium attached to doing either that will mean you likely lose money on the transaction. Unless it is inherently useful as is, it won't have any trade value remotely equivalent to what you paid until you have a flourishing black market that happily takes it in trade. Before that black market will take gold and silver, it'll take decent barter of actual useful things. The fact that you have faked ingots of precious metals that are a pain in the ass to detect means even that may not happen. The only SHTF use I can find for it is if you have roughly enough to buy transport someplace from persons not intending to participate in your current domestic economy.
  18. Most places won't even do 7 years old, but that is the age where you go from having essentially zero options to several if you are willing to travel. There's places fro kids to race, but not with rentals, gotta bring your own and conform to the rules and regs. Not sure if even that goes down to 5.
  19. Not every vehicle does it. Most sedans seem not to. Most SUV/hatch shaped boxes seem to. There are exceptions to both. I had a 2005 suabru legacy and it did it.
  20. Is your larue a .308? Cause you can get a nice FFP 1-8 for under $1k with a minimum of patience and if 8x isn't going to do it for you with the ballistics of .223/5.56, I'm not sure 10x is going to bring anything to the table. And it comes with a heck of a price premium.
  21. I've owned a full sized USP. The trigger was garbage. The slide was very heavy and putting all the mass in the reciprocating parts is not ideal for controlability. The LEM trigger is a big improvement, but still not what I would call good. Lots of people also have issues with lever type mag release and its location. I have long fingers and big hands, so it worked fine for me other than being a bit sharp, which was fixed by some very minor sanding to break the corners (they seem to have made it much smoother in current iterations). The multi-stage recoil spring setup makes it recoil a bit oddly. Looked cool, felt good in the hand, but was really not my cup of tea in actual use as I got better at shooting. At that time, someone I shot with semi-regularly had a p229 and I got to shoot it some fairly often. Of the two, it was definitely the easier to shoot well. If you forced me to pick form those two, I'd pick the Sig. If I wanted an all metal, hammer fired gun, I'd probably look at sig or CZ-75 derivatives. If I wanted a polymer hammer fired gun, I'd probably look at the beretta PX4. the trigger is OK and there's only so much to do about it, but the rotating barrel makes for a soft shooter. If you asked me how I was going to spend just shy of $1k, I'd get teh sig p320 x-5 legion, which I did. But it is a full size and heavier gun.
  22. Having thought about it for a bit, I could see the following argument being made: We do respect the permit. They issued them a permit to carry concealed within the state of XXXXX, and NJ has never and will never interfere in that. We believe that permit is completely valid for that purpose even when the person in possession of it is in NJ.
  23. Man you are optimistic. At the state level, the plaintiffs aren't going to win, not even a little.
  24. Which is why I said it was an interesting strategy and I’m curious as to how they will be told no.
