You would buy it?

No. There is no argument to be made. The law is pretty clear. Putting a stock on an existing firearm does not constitute manufacturing. Making a firearm out of material either metallic or polymer, is. Think of it this way, taking an item not classified as a firearm and turning it into one that is would be considered manufacturing.

So lets think about this for a second. Initially the front of the bullet fragments like a glaser which is bad for penetration, then the remaining part continues on like a fmj. I'm not sure combining the two worst penetration characteristics of other rounds into one round is going to vault it magically into a wonder round. I'll stick with HST's.

I think the concern has validity. But that scope in particular is fine in terms of durability. Now being matched to a 338lm is another matter in terms of magnification.
-
PPS.
-
Well....since I was just about matching my times on the plates as my 1911, I liked it a lot. I found it much easier to do one handed drills as well. Ill elaborate more later when I have time.
-
Cool, thanks
-
Can you guys see the vid now?
-
Interesting. Might be time to give them a second look.
-
I looked at Fenix as I was interested in the strobe features but I was warned off for durability issues. On top of that there was a deal breaker somewhere in there but I cant remember what it was. I think it was something to do with the switching on the unit.

Well.... it really wasn't the case as far as bounceback and blinding yourself etc etc in the case of Surefire products, at least from my experience. I attended a Mil/LE only Surefire Low Light/No light Demo about 3 weeks ago. We did in vehicle, out of vehicle, facing people etc etc and overwhelming light did not seem to be an issue at all even with 1000 lumen lights. The stated reason for this was how much research SF puts into the lenses in their products to give a useful dispersion pattern. One of the things I did was shooting through auto glass with a wml. It was so dark out you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Even after the glass spidered, I did not get blinding bounceback from the wml and easily could see the target and put all 5 rounds on center mass. In fact in dealing with certain autoglass tints at 500 lumens, aiming at the target from inside to outside it wasn't until I popped it on to 1000 that I could really see the target well. Now for some fun stuff. Here is a short clip of me shooting said vehicle with an M240Saw with a Hellfighter WML and Surefire Suppressor.

SgtT, can you quantify your statement? 500 in a light that size is pretty significant. Obviously Surefire has lights in the 1000 range but they are of course larger.

Played with a Surefire X400 Ultra with green laser about 3 weeks ago at a Lowlight/Nolight surefire demo. It was the heat! Once Im done paying off my current buying spree one will be added!
-
Well...Sig just added a bunch of people to the unemployment line. Not sure what that is going to do to production....

I like the article but.... In my opinion the article oversimplifies some and misses the point of testing a bit. At least as far as any tests and evaluations I was involved in. The point, in my view, isn't exactly to perfectly predict a rounds stopping power, but to get a sense of likely performance. In other words an indication of a new round being something that will possibly perform well or likely to under-perform. So if round x that performed very well in x number of after action reports equates to X penetration, y crush cavity, z temp stretch etc etc, and round y has aar's with terrible performance and it has a different set of measurments, one could draw an expectation that all things being equal, the round that creates the same or close to the same measurments as x will likely perform well and the new round that matches y will not. If a round is brand new, there really isn't much else to go on. When performing this very testing and evaluation thousands of actual shootings were reviewed. The rounds tested and measurements documented to provide the data baseline. Then we would test new rounds and see which proven or poor performing rounds they matched up with. ALL offers for money, free ammo, sponsership etc etc were refused so as to not be beholding to ANY manufacturer. But they paid attention and I believe that they adopted some of the methodology on developing new rounds.

Smooth out the take up? I like the take up of my light lem p30. The HK45ct is V7 and I want to make it LL too so I think I need to swap the trigger spring and FPB spring to make it the same as the P30. But to make the P30 reset the same as the HK45ct a believe a part needs to be welded and recut. If I'm not mistaken, this is part of the Grey Guns package Bryan has had done.
-
No, both are factory. But reset is a hard part issue I believe.
-
The take up doesn't bother me as its part of my press out but I wish my P30 had the reset of my HK45CT. Brian it sounds like its time to get out the timer again for some analysis!

Same crappy writing, same plot that never changes I thought they would have finally realized to fire all the reject writers they had from the guild strike era and got real ones. Apparently not...
