Wow, Nice buys! Ammo sure was high and i saw that same ridiculous PMC deal. Shame on that dude. Saw the guy selling the Adcor rifles which is a nice refreshing change to all the typical AR's you see floating around. I scored an interesting one. A dealer had a new in box Marlin 1894c 44 magnum from the 70's that he said he got from buying out another dealers old stock. This one is pre safety and is very well made and the action is FAR nicer out of the box than my modern era marlin in 357 mag. The trigger on this oldie must be half the pull of the newer gun and super smmooth and crisp. Same dealer had a 50's era Remington Fieldmaster 22 pump rifle in the extra rare "buckskin" copper color very nice condition. I love that old rifle and how light it is with its steel lines, aluminum barrel. It weights nearly as little as my custom lightweight 10/22. Didn't have the cash to take that one home, but she was a sweetie none the less.

Thanks for the update mike.

Imma try to make it if the weather holds out. I feel like whipping up on Alec a little bit this weekend.

Not much in the way of details, just an announcement of the intent to produce the 9mm and an AK107. The biggest hurdle will be making them in a sporting configuration to import here. Not that its a problem with the Saiga historically. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/12/13/big-news-izhmash-announces-saiga-9-9mm-and-civilian-ak-107-with-balanced-recoil/

My ultra light AR-22. She's a svelte 3# even with optics due to its minimalistic design and extensive use of carbon fiber and polymer (the only steel is in the barrel liner and bolt/trigger).

That's quite a few primers, impressive. loaded on a single stage no less!

The pinky test isn't even reliable when you merely want to separate comps from FH's solely based on technical requirement; Why would one even remotely want to apply that to something that has serious legal weight? True that closing off the end of the device forces more gas through the vents, but that doesn't necessarily eliminate its FH capability. I propose: If one wants a comp, buy a comp, not a FH, not a combo unit. The manufacturers tell you which is which so its easy to disseminate. For those items that sit in the land of ambiguity, why bang your head over it? There are a myriad of legit and effective comps for the AR15 and many times there also exists a pure comp variant of a combo unit so there's no point in dwelling in the grey area. The OP was asking specifically about the FSC556 to which they make the TTO comp only variant. Easy peasy.

I have the pws tto on my carbine which is the fsc without the flag hider prongs. Its one of the most effective compact comps available and an excellent option for nj compliant rifles. Don't put too much stock in the pinky test thing; its more internet-ism than official field test.

Aww, shucks. Anyways, hamster is still sour about missing saturday steel. I was gonna surprise him by beating him with a bone stock revolver, but they were short on junior bowl sniffers, i mean Porcelain Engineers, at the cat food factory so he couldn't come out to play. ...until he calculates his classifier results. Zing!

That's all i needed to hear.

wouldn't you know it, the 1 time I bring my 22 and my revolver to clean Alec's clock in not 1 but 2 classes and he comes up with some excuse to stay home. oh well, maybe next year I'll get my revenge.

Well then you can come duck down on this meat! LOL

Since we're in the giving mood, Anyone here like duck meat?

I recently decided to try some TAC with my usual 69gr SMK's out of my 20" 1/8 bull barrel AR upper. Results were nowhere near as good as the groups it shoots with Varget. Shame too because even with the auto trickler, it metered out QUICK! With Varget i can shoot sub MOA all day with .5-.6 groups being the norm. With TAC, laddered up some charges (23.5, 24.0 and 24.3) and none of them were sub MOA at all. My best group might have been about 1.5-2.0 MOA if i discount some as flyers but i dont know if they were or not. I shot some of my reference varget loads same day and those shot to the same degree of consistency as usual so with everything else being equal, looks like TAC just isn't doing it for this setup. Shame too as i had thoughts of running some ammo through the progressive to bang out fast accurate ammo!

Since i actually graduated from the 6th grade, i was able to read this in less than 5 mins. Great story scrap. sounds like customer service is still alive and well in america.

Bummer. I have my 9mm upper back and was going to test it on saturday. Would have liked to try a back to back comparo with your carbine.

I'm like Sam the Butcher, i bring Alice the meat!

My new Mossberg 930 JM. I guess its 'tactical', i mean is says so right on the receiver! lol

Said no one ever...

You need some more "unique" guns in your collection Sig P6 Sig P210 CZ 40B (1911 lookalike in .40) FEG PA63 or an original Walther Coonan 357 Desert Eagle 44 Auto Mag AMT 22 Automag Smith Model 52 NAA Mini in some flavor Mateba auto revolver (or the original Webley Fosbery) TC contender in some big rifle caliber to name a few...

You can cut your times in half if you just get rid of that damn fobus holster! lol I thought you were going to rip the gun, holster and belt off your waist at some point trying to draw from that mess. *subliminalsuggestionBLADETECHsubliminalsuggestion*

If it violates just the administrative code, is it merely "uncodeful"? And what really makes the admin code hold so much weight? Is it just because "they say so"?

A bolt action will naturally slow your shooting down. Also, try reloading for rifle. Once you see how long it takes to prep rifle brass, you'll slow down even more! lol Shooting something like 308 is a whole different ballgame compared to 223 as 223 recoil is negligible compared to anything in 308 and above. Get behind a 208 bolt and watch your flinch factor peg after shooting your AR15. Which, i might add, is yet another thing that adds to the overall difficulty level of shooting high rifles.

200 yards is actually a lot harder than you think. Of course, with optics you can enhance the targets' visibility, but that doesn't guarantee accuracy or consistency on your end. Even if you current rig is a tack driver and you're a natural behind the scope, there's plenty of ways to make the yardage count and wick up the challenge factor. You can turn the scope down, go to smaller targets, go to iron sights, shoot off-hand, etc. Point is, don't write 200 off as a piece of cake just yet.

I just saw that on the feed too. Unless that model has predrilled bolt holes or a power pass through, the way that safe is lying, whatever is in there has been sitting in sea water for an entire month. Even if its not currently a gun-quarium, being bathed in that slurry then exposed to oxygen might even be worse! If i was the owner, i'm not sure there's anything in there of any value anymore.
