I feel kinda dumb unless I can move and shoot with the thing. Shooting at a target from 10 yards away gets old quickly. After a few blasts, the thing is full of holes.

The problem is liability. Most judges don't want to be on the hook for giving someone a CCW and then having something go awry. Cut the judges and CLEOs out of it, and it's a simpler process.

So what? Just write the reason for rejection and be done with it. It's not like being rejected for a CCW permit makes you a prohibited person.

Rarely... buckshot costs a lot to practice with. But I do clay shooting though!

A $635 optic on a $500 shotgun... Not judging your choice or anything, but when I look at it that way: whoa.

I bought 5 firearms from them over the last 2 years: -Mossberg 930 -Glock 17 -Glock 30 -S&W Model 10 -S&W 22-A All shipped within 7-10 days and had no issues whatsoever.

Crazy question here: do guns really need their barrels cleaned often? I could see it if you want to baby a 1911... but I really don't see the utility of doing it with a Glock... especially given the octagonal rifling and tennifer finish.

Can they shoot regular .308 rounds? Like any I can buy?

Is that good?

Cleaning? Glock? What is this madness?

The law to ban the new registration of 'machine guns' was actually part of the 1986 Firearms Owner Protection Act. The guy who proposed and had the amendment attached was Rep. William J Hughes... from the not-so-great state of.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . New Jersey. Ugh.

I wonder what the law is on booby trapping your own residence? I doubt the Gov't enjoys such things...

Is it? I thought it was American...

I read on FN-forum that they import them and convert to civilian... not quite sure how true it is... what's the 'made in XXX' stamp say on it?

I think the SCAR is partially built in Belgium and modded in the US for civilian sales... kinda like the Glock.

Is it me, or does the American Firearms industry suck at coming up with new designs? I mean... look at what the Europeans have put out in the last 20 years: - Glock (which was the standard for striker-fired polymer pistols) - Benelli Inertia Driven Shotguns (supposedly the most reliable and newest semi-auto shotgun design) - FN SCAR (lightweight, much improved replacement over the AR-15) - ARX-160 (same as above) - FN FS2000 - HK G36 I feel like American companies either ripped off foreign designs (M&Ps ripped off Glock, SA just bought HS2000s) or rely on older designs that have been used for the last 50-60 years... (Remington 700, 870, Mossberg 500s, AR-15s, Ruger Mini-14s, M-14s, 1911s, etc.) In fact... I would wager the two newest American designs to come out are: - Barret .50 cal rifles - The ACR - KRISS SMG I guess what I'm trying to get at is: Why does it seem that European firearms companies are willing to take more risks and advance their designs, while American companies 'stick to their guns'. Granted, I can see why after perfecting the 870 or Mossberg 500 that you'd stick with them after all these years.

Not really that much. Just a popular, affordable, and supported design. The ACR was supposed to be that... until Remington FUBARed it.

There is no trade-off in accuracy, especially if the barrel is free-floating. Furthermore, the heat issue is not really that big of a deal as you're not shooting full-auto (and even if you were, you'd be surprised to realize the original M-16s had pencil thin barrels and were full-auto). The whole point behind the Gov't profile was to accommodate a grenade launcher.

You can throw on a Troy Battle Rail Alpha without doing much outside of cutting the FSB down to a low-profile and removing the D-ring. I say go lightweight... unless you plan on mounting an M203 Grenade launcher in the future?

Get a lightweight barrel if they sell one in the config you want.

I dunno, I feel all that crap was just a recent occurrence. SERPAs have been around for years, but only recently did people hate on them. So what gives? A few NDs occur (including the infamous Tex Grabner) and all of a sudden it's a "danger" lurking in the shadows? C'mon...

If it's good enough for the USMC... why not us?

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/ TFB reports their going to sell Gen 4s in FDE... something different from black.

They're nice. I've held them/shot them before. But I ultimately ended up with Glock. Upgraded with Apex triggers, they make fine shooters.

One day I'd like to get a lever-gun in .38spc/.357... that way I get a cool lever-gun without needing to buy a whole new type of ammo!
