I would have bought RR's but I had to have FDE

It is dependant on what you are trying to do. With that being said I do not like ANY of the 4x models. The eye relief is just to short for me. I run a TA11H-G on my 308 and a TA33H-G on my 5.56.

I paid a bit of a premium. Mine arrives tomorrow. I picked it up for 1399.

FNP or FNX? You would have to find a used one or NIB old stock if your looking specifically for a FNP tactical.

Forget what exactly?

WOW TSA finally does something right!

"Count, drop, load" Its great to try to do but HARD to do under real world conditions. BTW SEAL's get cranky if you dont use caps

I dont think the anti's give a sh!t. They dont care about technical arguments because their goal is all guns in reality. The video may sway the middle grounders as to the shear stupidity. But the one part of the video that really should drive the point home was when he went for a second firearm. THIS is the real point that makes the cap ban purely stupid on every level.

and you are only making it for yourself.

No not 20! Maybe I was at 19?

The same way those that did this with the assault rifle ban. They get picked off one at a time over time for one reason or another. Fire, vindictive ex wife, emergency, etc etc. Consider that there is jail time and forfiture involved. Thats a stout risk in my view. So its not as simple as dont ask, dont tell!

Well, as you can see from my vid I prefer to use the slide stop on a fast reload. However if Im clearing a malf I like to use the power stroke method.

The point is a million and one variables make the entire mag limitation debate simply silly. What about the fact that almost all of these lunatics were carrying multiple weapons? In terms of NJ how did 1/3rd become reasonable? Where does it end? Is 2 round mags any less dangerous if the skill level is at all above average?

Deciding what you should and should not have(AR's) and fuking over a manufacturer in the process is a little more than shady.....

If your imagination is creative enough, you can infer anything about anything...........

Bottom line is I am weary of asking may I pretty please have my god given/mother nature given/natural/inalianable freaking rights! Since in most other states in this country you do no have to ask, I think the case can surely be made that these laws are unjust! Just dont hold my trial in a Jersey court!!!

I guess Im just tired of playing the nicey nice game in hopes of getting a twinkie! Watching the hearings and assembly vote really twisted up my patience levels....

God given right, natural right to self preservation, all the same thing. makes no diff. But I think that worrying about the other side has come to pass. That method has been tried for decades. It does not appear to work. Why do you believe we should worry about and or tolerate any hostility whatsoever?

If it was much harder, that would be a tell. It would imply that it indeed was much hotter and then got doused with water (quenched) and then you would have a strong indicater the metalurgical state was indeed altered. If it was much softer, again that is the tell that alteration has occured. If you want to get a sense of just how much heat a firearm can take without metallurgical alteration, just look at metal coatings. Some of the spray and bakes go on around 300/350 degrees. Some of the other processes are MUCH higher. The one finish I know custom rifle manufacturers state is a no go is Melonite/Nitro Carborizing etc etc. They recomend if you do go with this finish, you have to find a company that understands coating recievers and will keep the tempatures lower then the standard 1200 degrees. IIRC keeping it under 900 is the target temp. But thats still a lot of heat.

If he is not making it for himself then it is manufacturing. The exception of making your own is that its for yourself even in free states.

"You are assuming they are a segment of the gun community. They are not, they just happen to own some guns" A valid point! So how do we stop them from getting heralded as such by the media and politicians?

But I think the point could be made that they have not yet realised its not about focusing on a segment of the gun community, its about disarmeng that segment first, but it wont be the last! And again, if their position is ambivilent, so be it. But when I see that segment standing up and testifying against us, that is a different matter entirely!

My thoughts for what they are worth. Wood will ignite anywhere from around 150 to 250 degrees. A firearm (including the springs) can easily withstand heats in the 350 range and even higher as long as they air cool. So if it did not get hot enough to ignite the stock, the temeratures in the vacinity of the firearme may not have reached temperatures hot enough to anneal or ruin the tempering of the steel of the rifles. I have never heard of anyone doing this but I would think that they could be rockwell hardness tested to confirm. Shane

Cold Steel, there is a big diference in not following the debate to closely and picking a side. Every time I see a gun owner spouting the rhetoric of GCI, its a Fudd! Yes they are potential allies but I think reaching them is a lot harder than you think! In my view it may simply not be worth the effort. For the amount of effort to convert 1 a can convert 50 fence sitters. But again, this group is being held up as the "average gunowner" even though we all know this isnt the case. So what I think we need is a way to invalidate their statement, or devise a new startegy to reach that group. But I find that group is hard to reach for the same reason an anti is, their postion is emotional, not logical...with the addition of an egocentric postion and a willingness to sacrifice other segments of the gun owning populace. Competition shooters and self defence shooters stand up for everyones rights, the Fudd subculture found in the hunting segment does not.

Let me be clear and repeat that Im not calling all hunters Fudd's. Im calling the Fudds, Fudds . Those that know me know I eternally preach 2A. Let me put it this way. I have converted a million fence sitters and even a few anti's. But I have never converted a Fudd! And that is NOT for a lack of trying.
