Yeah, I was promised a Sturmgewher.... Oh my God, I would own one of those in a heartbeat honestly.

Comes with a 30 round mag, that's illegal. However everything else SEEMS to be okay (I could be wrong) but the mag makes it illegal. It's possible to have it shipped to an FFL who will dispose of the mag, or get it pinned to 15 rounds, then you'll be okay. I'm not sure about the muzzle-end. They call it a brake, which I believe IS legal, but if it's a flash-hider/supressor by name, it's illegal.

Wish I had a beer, or some scotch. Unfortunately, none to be had. I'll probably end up making a little coffee when I get home from work. I'll have it to wash-down a grilled cheese sandwich.

60 rounds every few months. I don't get out to the range much. When I do go, I have a propensity for firing a LOT of ammunition. I'm pretty sure that my record in an hour was about 400 rds of .22lr using a bolt action in an hour. It could have been more, but I was teaching my friend midget how to shoot. She needed A LOT of help XD.

My German is pretty lousy, but if I understand it correctly, he's proposing that statistics, and facts be used, and not simply the rantings of the anti-gun crowd. If you want to help them, simply click the button that says, "Ja Ich understanten diesen vorschlag" Which means "Yes I understand this proposal. After all, these folk are fighting the same fight as us, but don't have groups like NJ2AS, the NRA, or a constitutional amendment to help them. Remember what happened in Britain, don't let it happen here, or elsewhere!

That's a lousy friend who would not only try to use someone else's gun to off themselves, but also in their bathroom. I mean that "friend" really caused a real S-storm for this guy. I mean, if he were serious about it, do it at your own place. geeze. I wonder though, what if he borrowed rope or something from this guy. Would the police be charging him with a felony then?

Here, while trying to find information on 5.56 tumbling, and the ballistic properties of the 8mm, I found this article, and it's fantastic, they show the type of cavitation that shotgun shells produce, various rounds, slugs, and even talk about an incident that happened in the PRNJ. http://www.frfrogspad.com/terminal.htm

Thanks! I've been trying to find a good, full, cleaning kit for a while now.

By the way, culled from the NRA facebook page, Holder apparently stated that Obama wants to ban guns. http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/08/holder-tells-congress-the-obama-administration-wants-to-ban-guns/

Yes, I did already post this, but I feel as though this is something we must all see, and honestly, I don't think I had a catchy-enough title to get people to view it. It's scary, since this is what's been happening to us lately. We've had a few successes, but now is not the time to get lazy. Watch this video, and share it.

I'd always heard it was 9mm ammunition, which I figured meant the 9mm handgun round. I have to admit, part of the reason I bought that 8mm off you was I saw a comparison on TV of the ballistic damage of a .50 cal musket, some sort of early breechloader, and the 8mm Mauser. I was really impressed by the hole it left. I figured the 8mm round would be a fantastic hunting round. I really want to learn more about ballistics, I really don't know crap about it at the moment. The extent of my knowledge is that a 5.56 fired from a rifle with a 1:14 twist lead to the nickname "meat-axe" because of the parabolic tumbling of the round upon hitting a target.

I agree. I think that's probably doing more to educate the public than the NRA does, since it's in a person's home. I'm a huge fan of Sons of Guns, American Guns, though Top Shot didn't do it for me too much. I'm more interested in the weapon platforms than the people shooting them. I do however, enjoy the occasional History Channel special on trick-shooting. That stuff is pretty impressive.

This thread has piqued my interest. I've actually been wanting to put the 9mm vs. .45ACP to rest myself. I've heard of the "hydrostatic shock" theory, which states that the immense speed of a 9mm can cause shockwaves to travel through the liquids in the body, and damage organs distant from the point of impact. Perhaps I'm over-simplifying it, but I suppose in theory you could shoot someone in the stomach, and the energy could dissipate in a way that it can damage the heart, or other organs not directly impacted by the round.

Yeah, they're near me. I'm going to check them out this weekend. I'm going to maybe buy some ammo there, or something. I HAVE to support these guys.

Get that **** off my M14! How can you turn the elegant beauty of the M1A into THAT. That's more for the M4 mall ninja crowd, not for the elegant, refined M1A shooter. I suppose I suffer from the AK purist syndrome, but with M1As. You DON'T be putting that on one XD

Not sure if it's been posted before, perhaps it has, but it's worth the 9 minutes.

****, that's pretty close to me. I think I found a place to support. If for no other reason than to piss this woman off XD.

Actually, if anyone has any suggestions for me, let me know. The main things I want are a flat upper, RIS, and fixed stock. Oh, and an 18-20" barrel. I have a hard time finding all of that with a NJ compliant muzzle end. Most come with Flash-hiders, and not compensators.

Didn't watch the video, it would only piss me off. What about the financial statistics of the firearms industry that show that firearm sales are through the roof. Sure that's often attributed to fewer people owning more guns, but I don't think one person is going to buy 14 different types of ARs.

They don't, fortunately. I may just end up doing the guard. My mom and I had a heated discussion on this last night. Rowan will be free, and I'll make more. Besides, If I get into a medic, or dental job, that'll look good on a dental school application.

Yeah, I was going to order a pack of 8mm cleaning patches, and the shipping was $12! That's more than the damn patches!

Lol I read all about that mine in Weird NJ

Guess this just shows my ignorance of SKSes. I always thought the mags were stationary, like the one on a Mosin, and you simply fed it with strippers. So how does it work, it's on a hinge, and swings open for loading?

That's actually how I learned about reloading. It interests me, but the initial costs are usually hard for me to justify (as opposed to, let's say, buying a new rifle XD). I watched a TON of youtube videos on it. it seems like it can be pretty effecient once you get good at it. Besides, as I said before, if I can start reloading, I can save some coin, and stop using surplus ammo, which, because of the way I am, no mater how long I spend cleaning my rifle, I KNOW I didn't do a good enough job, and I'm going to end up ruining it. I'm not looking to make any fancy loads. Hell, anything I'd make would likely have LESS powder in it for standard target practice at 100 yards.

That's why I ask so many questions on the boards. I have a serious habit of getting ahead of myself. If I ask others, I tend to do that...less.
