Decent vid. That guy's definiton of "hasty sling" doesn't jibe with any description I have ever seen though. Every version of it I have run involves wrapping the forearm, although I have seen both head out and head in versions. Having tried both they work similarly. I've also done what this guy does, which cinches for tension, which works, but is a different technique IMO.

With the limited ranges available tome in NJ, when I was reloading for .308 I was doing just fine with 155gr a-max and BL-C2.

I know a lot of dems who balked at at the proposed tax plans. Unfortunately instead of voting against the idiocy, they simply abstained. Perhaps they will figure out that abstaining won't stem the bleeding.

Well limcat does it. It uhh.. requires some breaking in. BUt for something like handguards it might work. Mostly I meant GSD does both processes. They finish way more stuff than firearms. I've got a DLC finish on my 2011. I wouldn't do it again. It looks nice, doesn't scratch easily, and dimensional change is virtually nil, so you can put it on a tightly fit gun. But it is expensive and offers zilch in terms of corrosion resistance. If I were doing it again, I'd do professionally applied cerakote, QPQ, or just parkerize it.

It's not a cheap stunt. If you or I did that it would be an illegal transfer. The fuckers need to abide by the same laws you and I do.

GSD coatings/medern materiel in keyport does cerakote and powder coating for firearms.

https://medium.com/@bjcampbell/everybodys-lying-about-the-link-between-gun-ownership-and-homicide-1108ed400be5 This guy is doing a really good series of articles. You might find this one particularly insightful on how the grabbers are lying with numbers.

Got a decent intro to small bore rifle as a kid, got an intro to handguns class as an adult. I have consumed a fair amount of training material, but not classes, for competitive shooting.

Ammo isn't an explosive either. It's an orm-d consumer product, just like that aerosol that is not excluded in the lease. That's my point. And yeah fighting the lease won't win you a place to crash. The peril comes form the dude who gets injured by a mugger or assaulted on the property. An explicit exclusion now means they have yet one more thing to go after the landlord with. Which is why the big places with real lawyers that cost real money do their job right. You don't want to be liable for an ND or something on the property, you make it seem like they aren't allowed and say oops at trial or that you believe you banned the storage of ammo with that language. Someone gets a home invasion from the local gang bangers, you say ammo is ORM-D and not explicitly prohibited unlike the gel candles specifically mentioned in the lease. You don't know why they thought it was prohibited.

My short list of as good as or better movies. The Princess Bride = as good as. Narratively it is very similar, just book format humor has been swapped with movie friendly humor. Movie might peak a bit higher on the humor scale and the humor is more accessible to a wider audience. LOTR = better than the books. Pretty much cut out all the painfully boring parts. Fight club = better than the book. Mostly the movie is like if the book got edited again but very well, and a lot of the stuff just works better in the medium of film. JAWS = it just works better visually. Three days of the condor = The book is kind of a turd. The rights were bought before the books was finished, and it was clearly the story was fleshed out by a MUCH, MUCH better writer than the book had. Also, still really relevant to this day. A clockwork orange = better than the book. The book is a hard read and not really as visceral.

The riggs are nice pants, I have several pairs and have used them for years. They have gotten cheaper, but still seem ot be built as well as they used to. When you can catch them for $30 a pair, they are great.

They can also use plain old acid, and have for quite some time.

The main issue is that the landlord needs to put it in the lease. If he does, he's on the hook for increased liability for the occupants security. Most of the large complexes deal with this by putting rules on the storage of flammable products and explosives that make it seem like ammunition would be covered without actually covering ammunition.

If the lower court upheld the law, a refusal to hear the case on appeal is at least a tacit endorsement of the ruling as fundamentally sound.

I like that guy. Unfortunately, when I ask people some form of the following, it seems to not compute: If the government is broken when it fails to serve minority segments of the population, what is it when it fails to serve the majority of citizens?

1) Most ammo shoots under box velocity because box velocity for .223/5.56 is often stated out of a 24 inch 1:12 test fixture barrel. Sometime 26". Occasionally it is something more realistic like a 20". Kind of like a huge swath of pistol ammo velocities are out of a 6" test fixture barrel. It's not some failing, it's the industry norm, like it or not. 2) 5.56 brass can be found being used in factory new reloads. as long as the pressure is ok, it doesn't matter. The diffrence is internal volume. If the velocities are low compared to nato ammo, odds are they aren't courting a problem. 3) Requiring an FID and having the ammo you want beats not requiring it and not having it. How offended you get about the requirement is up to you. 4) That being said, it can still be crap, I haven't used it.

The majority of .223 77gr sierra match king rounds are over .223 pressures. Outside of that, the only difference between 5.56 and .223 case dimensions boils down to case capacity. There's a lot of stuff, even factory new, being sold as .223 and being built with 5.56 cases. As long as the pressure is ok, it doesn't matter.

Nope. This is why there was that hullabloo about optics planet/dvor.

I know you don't reload. You can check out freedom munitions. They offer a lot of the good bullets in both .223 and 5.56 loadings. No idea if they do a good job, but it at least gives you options. You might try the hronady z-max 55gr loads if you can find them. They are loaded a tad hotter than I was loading the same heads, but out of a 14 or 16 they are probably darn close. I got good accuracy with the heads. Also there's a number of bulk-ish 50gr OTM rounds available. There are a variety of heads like that that are easy to get good accuracy out of and they should hold together even out of a 1:7 barrel. fiocchi also has a number of bulk loadings with good bullets hornady 50 gr v-max and sierra 69 or 77gr OTM.

NJ has laws about the transfer of a firearm between individuals. Under most circumstances, if you hand your rifle to your buddy and say "here, try this out" you just affected a transfer, and in most instances that is not legal without the right paperwork. However, if you are at a private range that has filed the right paper work, you are exempt. I believe there is also some form of exemption for hunting. I don't hunt, so I haven't read through that chunk too often and wouldn't trust my memory without verification.

It could also just be because of this. http://ar15barrels.com/data/223-556.pdf Or tool wear. Or bad labor. Part of me thinks that single cut barrels have the reputation they do not because something else can be as good, but because the labor put into it is so much that you have to giver a shit about what you are doing and doing it right. At the labor costs involved, you won't cheap out on tooling and you won't be able to sell bad labor and keep the lights on. Reloading, other than the right amount of the right powder for the bullet in your gun, doesn't really enter into it for ARs. A lot of the tricks for consistency that apply to bolt guns don't help, or make things worse with a semi auto. For other things where it is working at the bleeding edge of consistency, it's just lost on a semi auto, loaded to mag length, where the bullet is just too damn slow at the distances that kind of error makes a notable difference. Buying factory ammo is a crap shoot for any given gun. Most bullets can be accurate in a decent AR, and increasingly AR barrels are decent compared to 15 or so years ago. But you have to hand load to get it. My personal exceptions to that are Remington 55gr FMJ bullets and Nosler 60gr partition. The remingtons are the worst bullet I have ever encountered and it baffles me how they can not group as much as they do in as many barrels as they do at any velocity I have tried without actually key holing or falling apart. Granted, they are the bulk 250 packs from the massive Bush II shortage period, so they may be worse than what you can buy now, but.. damn not worth the risk. The partitions are just painfully mediocre for the premium price. Now that there is a relatively wide selection of bonded core bullets, they should go away IMO. Or get better. Something.

illinois didn't used to have state preemption. They got state preemption as law a few years ago. Part of that process was granfathering in exiting local statutes. Deerfield established a vague statute in order to get it grandfathered. Now they are changing said statute. Is it legal? It probably adheres to the state pre-emption statute, yes.

I would argue that reason should stand in court. Unfortunately, it doesn't necesarily. But AR pattern guns are not unusual. Last year 4.2 million long guns were made. The industry estimates are that ~3 million of them were ar pattern rifles. They have been around for 50+ years and are pretty much the default rifle. As for dangerous, clearly handguns do't meet that threshold. They are demonstrably causing less hazard than handguns.

Man, why do most people decide the question is about something other than the question. As others have said 5.56 and .223 bullets are the same bullets. The cartridges and chambers differ slightly. That being said, there's stuff being sold as .223 loaded on 5.56 brass, and if you look at the actual spec for chamber reamers, .223 rem, .223 wylde, and 5.56 reamers can and do overlap in dimensions. They are that close to each other. That aside, there is no outright winner in accuracy between .223 and 5.56. many powders give the most consistent performance at less than maximum cartridge pressure/less than maximum fill. So they may be more accurate at .223 pressures and velocities than at 5.56 pressures and velocities. However, universally, a faster bullet with a higher ballistic coefficient is better because it remains supersonic for a longer distance. The transition to subsonic speeds down range is universally detrimental to accuracy beyond that point. My $0.02 is that most lighter bullets seem to have peak accuracy in .223 pressure ranges, and most heavier bullets seem to do their best at loadings that would put them over .223 max, but under 5.56 max. For gun purchases, in general, just buy .223 wylde chambers. My personal taste is stick to twist rates and barrel lengths that give you two full rotations within the length of the barrel. You can get accurate .223 barrels, but they tend to be tight enough you ahe to worry about 5.56 ammo. You can also dig up 5.56 sam-r chambered barrels that are accurate. There's also plenty of accurate barrels labeled 5.56. However, least hassle is pick .223 wylde and read some reviews on the barrel. The signal to noise ratio with that option is just better. My $0.02.

There are people who walk in the door and get ripped off. So basically they are just saying I didn't get ripped off. Not everyone is getting the same deal out of them. Which is pretty much why people hate car shopping.
