DOE! i would have got the SSA-e maid kit if i knew palmetto put a nice package together.

nvm

I asked before, and i wasnt really looking for an answer... but why does it have to be about his(Obama's) position on guns laws? I mean you can try and correlate that he owns a gun shop, but that doesn't mean that's the main reason.... maybe it's because he owns a business an Obama is a "spread the wealth' kinda guy...

Does this even work on moving targets?

its dependent on the barrel length, too. Just for a hypothetical, if you have a carbine gas system on a 14.5" it would kick more then a mid length, however an 18" barrel with a carbine gas system will kick more then 14.5" since there is more pressure asserted for a longer period of time. moving the gas port down the barrel as the barrel gets longer ensures you get enough gas to cycle but not so much that it is essentially wasted, prone to malfunction, and more violent. Technically you can tune the rifle from either end, the gas port location(how much gas is sent through the system) or at the buffer. However, adjusting the gas port location is more beneficial. Limiting the gas is better then compensating for it, you get a more efficient rifle with less kick, and for all purpose your internals see a lot less stress. The carbine system is technically for short barrels, i'm not sure why they put them on 16" barrels other then a popularity thing with "looks". Personally i don't even see the need for it on a 14.5" My BCM 14.5" is mid and it replaced a 16" mid with no other mods and works flawless. 18" seems to be the compromise for mid/rifle gas systems, and companies like Noveske came up with the "intermediate" gas systems, because they found the rifle cycles the best is that config, the compromise between recoil, cycle time and reliability. with a rifle length you would use a lighter buffer and for a mid a heavier one. So switching to intermediate gave less recoil then mid, and cycled better then the rifle length. But we start to loose standards here which is important in the AR world. If another company makes an Intermediate... is it the same as Noveske? They even include the tube and gas block with the barrel( and rightfully so at that price!) Do i have to by my gas tubes from noveske? or take the task to make my own? there are gas blocks with adjustable pressure options, not sure how they fair though.

I agree and disagree. Some of these judges don't even find the convenience, they just have their opinion irregardless of whether or not it is constitutional. If a judge doesnt like firearms, they could care less about the 2A, and will find any excuse or make up what ever they can to uphold there position. I mean how can one honestly say that ppl dont have the right to protect themselves out side of there home with gun, but it is some how OK for it inside the home? what makes your house different then the streets? there is no reason behind it, they support there position by saying it takes guns off the street, which, has nothing to do with the 2a... it's a feel good ruling that was effectively concluded through the use of ones personal opinion, and was not ruled on based around the issue. As noted below, your rights are not as important as "public safety", and they did not even bother to show HOW the public is more safe and it outweighs your personal rights, they just made it up with no facts... Good judge sir, please explain how the public is more safe? oh that's right you can't. “New York determined that limiting handgun possession to persons who have an articulable basis for believing they will need the weapon for self-defense is in the best interest of public safety and outweighs the need to have a handgun for an unexpected confrontation,”

didnt even think about that!! good point. "One can think of energy absorption as force times distance, and momentum absorption as force times time. Hence, a heavier but slower bullet with the same energy will travel the same distance in the absorbing material, but because of larger momentum, will take a longer time doing it. It will thereore also impart a greater "kick" to the absorber object." Basically, momentum will determine the punch delivered. Will the force applied be for a longer or shorter amount of time. And K.E. determines how much force it takes to stop the bullet... So the punch between a 9mm and .223 is close, but the actual energy it takes to stop one is close to a 65% difference. of course in a perfect world where so many variables are constant. however, a lighter bullet will loose its energy much faster. Which is why its related to distance.

Physic's 101 brother.... MOMENTUM! Once a projectile leaves the barrel it begins to accelerate in the OPPOSITE direction of forward motion. The more momentum a projectile carries the slower the acceleration in relation. Primary example is comparing buckshot to a slug, but that is an extreme example. .556 55X3000= 3.26N 9mm 125x1180= 2.91N Not a big difference between the 2. Not even taking into consideration what happens to the bullet when it actually hits something. take into account the material strength and how the force is applied. 9mm has more lead and is thus more structural. So you have to look at how much force the bullet can take before it brakes.

yeah i just got the e-mail today 15% off.

There are speed dampeners on the front wheel, So when the front wheel or both come off the ground it doesn't matter, if the wheels don't line up... Instant tank slap. the dampeners are also speed sensitive. These guys are fighting for there dream to win the isle of man TT, getting on a bike in general is dangerous, but you accept the risk.

You would have to find out how the brake is perm. attached and see if you can remove it with out destroying it. most people end up destroying it. If its pinned you could try drilling it out, but then u have to worry about ruining the barrel. How much work/money do you plan on dedicating to this?

The RRA 2 stage for me has been nothing but a pleasure to shoot. You can really tell how much better it is then a standard single stage, complete night and day difference and the consistency is just there. The Geissele is going to basically be a tuned rra 2 stage. So i'm going to say that yes, you probably would see a different, but... is it worth the extra cash? Do you need or want a match grade trigger group? or do you just want something that is a serious upgrade from the standard triggers? You will see more of a difference going from a standard trigger to an rra then from an rra to a Geissele. So i would say the value falls on the RRA, but that doesn't mean Geisseles aren't worth the money. Robert, have you ever used a 2-stage?

True, but only if he goes with a 2 piece. He could cut it off completely, get a 2 piece Gas block, and everything should slip on the barrel over the brake, which opens up a much wider variety of hand guards. You muzzle brake shouldn't have an OD bigger then the barrel nuts ID.

go big or go home!

They might have found the arrest records, i dunno if nics looks at that or not.

Not sure what you mean.. if the feds reinstated the AWB -10rd mag limit, i think that's the only one. NJ has had the same AWB give or take pre-fed AWB.

I was going to get one at some point for my NJ ZED lower, saw he price and couldn't resist. It's not even negotiable with a price like that, your paying like 35 bucks more then an RRA 2-stage.

just picked up a SSA-E from palmetto, 185 shipped.

From a mechanical standpoint, this makes little sense. whether it is true or not i do not know. Limp wristing can cause any number of cycling issues... if the slide doesnt retract all the way cause ejections issues feeding issues and jamming issues.... but a stove pipe? how does limp wristing somehow lower the pressure inside the barrel? The auto loading function works on recoil, not the bullet firing thingy. Sounds like the gun is able to still fire on an semi-open chamber... which may be the real culprit to the problem. I mean this is the concept every auto loading pistol lives by.... If the gun needs that much grip to get the slide to correctly cycle then it could probably use lighter spring. Or use +p ammo, thing must run terribly on low pressure ammo. Reminds me of certain 22's that need HV rounds to be reliable. OP, you may think were arrogant snobs, but the thing is, we like our brothers to be armed with the best they can buy. You have to ask yourself, can i trust my life to this pistol(if that is the intended purpose) OR if it's just something to shoot at the range. I mean a warranty at the range means, damn i have to send this thing out( not a big deal). But if you NEED it when your camping there is no warranty. There are plenty of alternatives to Hi-points. I hate to say it, but i would buy a glock before i bought a hi-point.

About the same? the picture looks like half the intesity? but then again they don't compare it to a crowned barrel.

Like mentioned, trying to run a generator is kinda pointless at that point, even if it still works... there will be no way to get any gas, other then what you have stored away. I'm currently making plans to build a wood stove from a 55 gallon drum, they sell kits pretty cheap. most/any of my gas is going to the chain saw for wood. another plan to is get hand pump for my well, and stock up on storage food. Other then that in the case of a CME, expect complete collapse of anything that runs on the grid. We have a septic tank i can easily rig an outhouse over, lol. Concentrate on how you will get heat, food and water... also think about keeping your living conditions sanitary. The issue is, the grid will be down indefinitely until fixed... which can take years, if it even happens. You need to look at what tools allow for long term independent survival. a generator is short term. In the case of am CME, your car may still work, and anything not attached to grid, but its gonna be hit or miss. Unlike an EMP which will destroy everything.

A EMP and CMP are closely related but not the same thing. Power grid will be down either way but smaller electronics should still work after a CMP that are not on the grid, which acts like a huge conductor. Or at least that's was I've been reading lately. Sources claim over 70% of Americans would die in the first year. Most who survive would probably find the first year the hardest.

My comments in no way shape our form called him a criminal based on how much guns and ammo he owned... i simply brought up the point that the guy has been living on a disability pension since the mid 80's... and somehow found a way to buy all this stuff.

+ 260 firearms and a live grenade? I'm not saying it's impossible to do, just highly unlikely its all legit. I don't know what kinda money he was rolling in on that pension, or if he had an inheritance of some sort... just really fishy is all.

Reminds me of police academy- citizens on patrol (COP), what a good movie!
