I meant mootness. Oral arguments can't be kept secret. No arguments, then it was mooted.

I take it back. iot can also be shitty modern door ocnstruction. You will notice the molding doesn't really show damage. and another. the interior molding doesn't show damage, and the inside molding pulls back together.

Dude. Ive seen it happen. Likely under the trim is the damage, which isn't visible in potato-vision because the trim is flapping hooked on at one end rather than snapping. You can still see the deadbolt protruding if you watch the video full screen. It's not super clear but it's there. You just like trying to be an insulting dick. I get it. Not sure what commenting about shit apartment construction has to do with green day, but you go be you and hang your idiocy out there foll bore.

Worst case, we will know 12-2-2019.

If you watch the video you will see the dead bolt was engaged you can see it protruding when the door is open. He didn't have to lock his door when he looked out because it was already locked. As for looking like no damage. Welcome to the age of shitty construction. It is likely that the trim was secured poorly by a couple of brad nails and just popped a couple of them out rather than splitting. All the damage would be behind the intact trim piece that is no longer flush with the wall. Listening to it it seems plausible these guys wee knocking on other doors and the guy looked out and casually got his AR and waited out of frame to see if they came by his place. Which they did and then shit happened.

It's cheap because it's a polymer upper and lower.

Sierra is always higher in general as they are more aggressive. But you also have to keep in mind the bullet involved in the testing. The other thing is that I wouldn't trust old sierra data. They make a business out of being aggressive with loads, and selling yo that info every year. The ragged edge may move. Hodgdon doesn't HAVE a listing for a 52gr bullet for h335. It does have one for a 53gr sierra hollow point that is 26gr max. It's probably safe to extrapolate that to a 52gr, but only if the bearing surface is similar. Something like a nosler 60gr partition in .224 has a relatively large bearing surface compared to other 60gr offerings. In that case, it's probably safe to use the max load for that bullet with other longer and less chubby 60gr bullets. Which is exactly what nosler did with their load data. Their 60gr varmint bullet uses that load data. In reality, it likely the varmint round likely has less bearing surface than the hornady 60gr v-max (noslers is a boat tail, hornady's is flat bottmed). borrowing load data form teh v-max is likely safe as well. (and it is, I've used it and shot it without issue). Barnes' max load is going to be lower because they are coppper alloy projectiles. They take up more case volume per grain of bullet.

1) You NEVER, EVER trust other people's reloads if you are wise. If you do, you are rolling the dice. I'll shoot other peoples pistol loads in their pistols, because it is unlikely it will do more than destroy their gun and sting a bit ( I don't tend to shoot magnum revolvers and such), but that is about it. 2) The guy was shooitng .38 super. He's likely guilty of the same thing most of them are. Being cheap and reusing the brass too many times. As for greenday, I like calling out him being stupid as much as the next guy, but I read his response as not being he aims for max load, just that if he has a load that shoots well he'll bracket it and he needs to know the max so his bracket doesn't exceed max pressure. To me the real answer to that is if you are going to be anal, get a chrono and do ladder loads and be less arbitrary about it and don't dick around guessing. As for max loads, given that you can find wildly different answers to that in most loading guides, you just have to pick the number you trust and sneak up on it slow and gentle like. Me, I just go buy the load data published by the manufacturer for when I purchased the powder. It's likely current for any formulation change, and conservative.

Match bullets at low weights are cheap because they are used for varmint hunting, and they tend to be shot by the hunters in high volume. If you don't sell it in bulk at a reasonable price, you don't get those customers' money. If you want to spend a weekend afternoon taking out a prairie dog town, you need to be able to hit the prairie dogs. But you also need to not spend a buck a piece to do it. There are pretty reasonably priced heavier match grade bullets. The hornady 68gr is pretty affordable. The nosler and sierra 77gr bullets are available in bulk and reasonably priced. But they will never be as cheap as the 50 & 52 gr OTM bullets simply because they cost more to make.

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.

I don't think they intended to do long term damage. They wanted to demonstrate viable disruption of the supply chain in order to make people listen to them. I don't think it will work out the way they like long term, but for now they can say "see, we WILL be taken seriously on the world stage!" to the people at home. Heck, it could be entirely for the people back in Iran. Maybe they are getting rowdy and this is a way of saying you will listen to us or we will be at war on our whim.

It's a .223 necked up, not necked down. But it's a fine solution to making an ar-15 compatible deer round that is legal to hunt with in the most places.

Yeah, but i'm interested in collecting. I would like a butterfly knife for my collection, but several places seem to think it qualifies as being a gravity knife. I'd argue no seeing as they have a latch that has nothing to do with gravity. I hadn't gotten around to doing a lot of research as I had a lot more interesting stuff on the list that was just a matter of budget rather than legality. I'd also love to add a paragon warlock to my collection. But it is both double edged, and I would suspect would qualify as a gravity knife. No desire to carry them, but my collection is themed around folders and the various locking and or folding mechanisms.

No. This is an example of someone makes a credible threat and you can arrest them without red flag laws. The very fact that every state already has legal framework in place to do such things is EXACTLY why you should understand red flag laws are explicitly NOT about that. Not even a little.

So is the argument that for owning in a collection with no intent to carry, just put it in a collection and if needed transport it from residence to residence, you can own a switchblade?

I dunno if you typoed, but bore snakes are designed to go through the action, regardless of how accessible it might be for a cleaning rod. For me a big advantage to them is that they don't require you to manage a supply of patches. While that isn't a big deal for home base, it's a huge bonus for in the range bag. IMO you'll wind up owning both long term if you have a variety of guns. For example, with lever guns, a snake is the big winner. They don't really foul the action when fired, and it's annoying to get a rod in there. A couple passes of the bore snake and a little lube and you are done. Another win for them in my book is shotguns. I've never found a jag/patch solution for them that has worked well. So it's either the big wooly mop-rod thing which is ungainly and expensive and gets nasty and doesn't really clean up well, or you can use a bore snake which works, can be cleaned better, is easier to store, and travels well in a range bag. That being said, pull through cleaning options are all by their nature flexible. Which means you will not be using them for chamber cleaning brushes.

IF that account is correct, what does stand your ground have to do with it? Once they demonstrated they were armed and a threat to life and limb, you don't have an obligation to retreat.

The indoor range is serviceable. It's nicer than the indoor portions of any other range I know of in NJ with an outdoor range. It's just not set up like a pay by the hour public range.

That and it's a low pressure round. Even with higher pressure rounds and a proper comp, you STILL need to load with a powder that burns appropriately to drive the comp. Some 9mm +P rounds are probably sufficient, but for the most part, comps without the right ammo will only be a marginal improvement.

The 12-2 date is for oral arguments. Even scotusblog says so. They seem to think it could still be mooted in October, but that's not how scotus usually works. Getting on the oral arguments schedule is hard. The only way I could see that happening is if there was a major shift of opinion and it was defensively mooted. That seems unlikely as the law is so restrictive that a very narrow ruling would always be on the table.

Hehehe dri-slide doesn't let gunk stick to things... dri-slide IS gunk. I mean it's moly and graphite. In my gun that was shooting moly coated lead, it was just like pre-dirtying the gun. It's not bad stuff, but it does not prevent gunk from sticking. On pistols, it is kind of like starting with a clean gun but the clean will get your hands dirty and is kind of like you start at the 400-500 round mark worth of crud already in it. On an AR, it just does nothing to prevent the carbon build up. If you need something that won't attract too much fine dirt and grit form the external environment, with regular applications without too high round counts in between it'll get the job done provided you have time for the carrier to evaporate.

And? hitting the mag release shares time with grabbing a mag. It's essentially free. Unless it does auto bolt forward on insert as well. Then it could be cool.

Except that most of the time you avoid shooitng to bolt lock. The thing needs a custom ambi mag catch, and a custom bolt release, and reduces capacity. Unless it is cali legal somehow, Idon't see the niche.

Measure the damn gas port hole on the barrel. If it is short stroking with a carbine weight buffer, it's likely going to short stroke with a rifle weight buffer. If the barrel was intended for a soft shooting set up, it may be undersized and expect you to have a lightened carrier and reduced weight buffer. For example a nordic components 18" barrel ships with an undersized gas port for that reason. If it's small you have two choices. Lightened components or drill it out. If you (or someone you know) can get dealer pricing from brownells their in house lightened one is cheap. $80 ($125 if you have to pay retail). https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/bolt-carrier-groups/m16-5-56-lightweight-bolt-carrier-group-prod116267.aspx

Guess my brain just dumped that info on the floor when it said holy sit at the 7-2 in the next post.
