But in its place is the mighty M109R! This is my very first non sport bike. Ive been on sport bikes since 1988! Decided I wanted to give the Muscle bike/power cruiser style a try. It doesnt have the top end rush or the instand on power of the Busa but it will put a smile on your face just the same when you wack the throttle open.

B and J are notoriously anti gun. I NEVER buy their products as a result.

Ray, I hear you but in all honesty what I find is that those go fast goodies on a rifle dont make too much of a difference unless you are at a fairly high level where split seconds are seperating 1st and second place. Even in ful race 3 gun, huw much can you do to an AR? At least at my mediocre level of shooting I find what seperates me from the front of the pack or the back of the pack is how many stages I dont have a brain fart on. If I shoot all stages without a major hiccup I will be towards the front. If I blow a single stage, mid pack. More than one, see ya in the back. So for me anyway, mental focus is probably more important than anything else.

Ive actually divested myself of the big boomers. The 50 BMG is long gone and the 338lm as well because the cost and practicality is highly questionable for me anyway. Although I have a sick twisted love afair for the 338lm as I have had 3. I keep buying them and hate that there is really no where to practiclly shoot it in NJ.

Jack, my 308 is about .75 of a pound heavier than my 5.56.... But back to the 22. I just dont see the point or any compelling reason to reconsider. If you cant afford to have a resonable stash of reasonable calibers, then your problems are likely many in a SHTF scenario.....

Ray your not going to break into a george thorogood and the delaware destroyers song are you?

All I know is when the laws changed my buddy had to send his out of state......

"Why create a minimum caliber round? If the need arises for something more powerful then you can use it, but using something bigger the .22lr isnt always necessary." Very simply if someone is doing something bad enough to warrent me shooting them, then i want them to stop what they are doing as quickly as possible. In my view, after reviewing MANY MANY actual shooting case studies when I was part of the AmmoLab, a 22 is really not even close to ideal for this task. You realy dont get to choose the scenario so for me the minimum caliber is 9mm which can cover items a 22 could handle. However the other way around is not true. A 22 can not cover the things a 9mm can do. Try putting a .22 through a windshield and then a 9mm and you will see what I mean.

Personally I have no use for a .22 in the given scenario. If its truly SHTF, I dont think I really care about descreet although some circumstance may arise that warrents it. But SHTF or not for me the min caliber is 9mm. Ben, I think highly hypothetical topics will always have a tendancy to wander

I echo axeman_g's comments having been behind that particuler rifle.

VJ if Im not mistaken, I believe it was a fed case that came to the conclusion that the police do not have a duty to protect an individual. In the quote you cite, I take it to mean they view CCW as a threat to public safety.

OK glenn, lets change that to proven in military trials. Meaning its not marketing hype, its test results.

To each their own but I have talked with many real deal Dboys and SF that swear by theirs. I demand reliability and accuracy in my equipment. If it isnt hammer reliable, I dont own it anymore. But the fact of the matter is that the higher end AR's I buy have highly proven track records in combat and none of them has given me even a single malfunction. I will concede that MY personal ARs dont see much hard use but the brands and models I use have.

Oh I dont know about that. Reportedly Travis H. formerly from magpul has over 90k on his. In fact its still on the same barrel and bolt it left the factory with My other AR is designed to run with no lube or cleaning for 2k rounds WITH a supressor!

If by "heads" you mean the projectile its self, the mag matters more depending on the projectile being used!

Id never walk around with an AK!!!!! Im not a peasant so it will be an AR! My line of thinking is in the "as few calibers as possible" track. That way its easier to maintain surplus ammo or components to make ammo. All four of my pistols are 45. Two rifles are 5.56 and one AR and my bolt gun are 308. So basically 3 calibers. And they cover a pretty large spectrum of roles. I think about adding a 9 because it would be so inexpensive to stock pile ammo for. And if ammo goes back through the roof, I can keep shooting through those times.

Heres my precision rig.Its an 07 AIAW. Its wearing a Premiere Heritage Mil/Mil Gen2 XR. Bipod is an Atlas V8. The 26" Barrel was swapped out for a fluted 20". Ill scan a target later but after sighting in the PH she printed what looks to be about a .6.

What you will find in 1911's is that the 1911 in use, ramped, non ramped, ammo type, and caliber all play a part in which mags it works best with. I have tried most 8 rounders out there. Right now I am running Certac mags in my 5" GM non ramped. They have been the best so far. http://p3llc.com/Products/CerTac8Magazines/tabid/56/Default.aspx

Well... Ive seen ar lowers after a kaboom hat didnt looke like that. I believe the Carbon 15 was a CF lower as well. I think these nay still be available through bushmaster.

Woops, ran across this pic of a plum crazy lower. Seems it is not an isolated incident either....

There is a flaw in that point. 7.62X39 runs like crap in ar's due to the taper of the round combined with AR mags. Reliability is bad. The 300Blk or 7.62x35 overcomes these issues with better performance and the brass is easily made from .223 brass. With that being said factory ammo is still expensive at this time. I may build one at some point but I tend to stay awau from boutique cartidges.

The question becomes are any of these people exposing the poly lower to real hard use? Im not subjecting mine to it either BUT I know they have been and so I take some comfort in that. Im just not intersted in saving 20 or 30 bucks to have something I have any doubt in. And speaking of doubt, it just seems there is always some wacky issue with polymer recievers. The G36 has issues with sagging after sustained fire if they are layed on there side. I forget what the other platic fantastic rifle it was but it was getting gooey and melting when coming into contact with bug spray soldiers were using.

The problem for that business model is simply that from my experience most Officers arent shooters....

Probably why it bothers me on some level is that it wasnt designed originally in that material. Since it wasnt designed in this material it gives me concerns in the areas of the butt stock interface and the front ears where it pins to an upper. The SCAR interfaces are designed around the fact that the lower is polymer and is designed in such a way that there is very little stress on it. As a matter of fact the stock interfaces with the upper on the SCAR and only has 1 pin holding the lower.
