Certainly they would be better served addressing the types of dangers that cause more child injuries rather that bandwagonning the anti-gun agenda...

My pediatrician has pinged me on it before, and he seems to think that my child will eventually be able to open my safe just by figuring out the combination because his kids figured out his computer password. He asks me once a year and I just tell him that I am a responsible gun owner and that I am going to teach my child gun safety when he is old enough to understand the seriousness, and that my guns an ammo are stored in a secure safe. He wants me to say that guns and ammo are separate, but what good is a gun when you need it if you don't have ammo available?? I just tell him what he wants to hear and refrain from any elaborations. My son still doesn't have a clue what a gun is except some notion he got from a cop's child at his daycare and sometimes points tubular objects at things.

Yes original put on a mill to open up some holes to vent out the heat, looks good and works well.

It was a bit of a PIA, but I kept it on my conversion. Once it is done, it is a nice feature to have. Saiga 7.62x39 conversion

I moved my 600lb safe with 1 1/2" PVC pipe by myself on flat ground. changes in elevation is what is hard. I got 4 BIG guys from work and an appliance hand truck with wheels that pop out the back to allow you to cant the weight back without supporting it. Took maybe 15 minutes to move it into the house down 9 steps. I did block the stairs with 2x4s to insure that they wouldn't fail.

Apparently they found him with guns and magic mushrooms. What a dummy.... OK, advocate preservation of our 2A rights, I get it, but with drugs on hand, that will only be a bad thing and make anti folks think that guns and drugs go together and that we are all like that moron.

Sandy Hook was just an excuse to trample more 2A rights, Sweeney and his crew don't give a sh_t about reducing crime and gun violence.

THe H&K MK23 was designed to fill a SEAL requirement and passes many grueling tests: The MK23 Mod O .45 cal SOCOM offensive handgun was developed by H&K specifically for U.S. Special Operations Command, and in 1996 was adopted as a service pistol under the designation MK23 Mod.0. This is a .45 caliber weapon with excellent knock-down power and accuracy, but its tradeoff is that it’s larger, heavier and less wieldy than the Sig Sauer P226 and P228. The MK23 gives shooters absolute match grade accuracy, while it also exceeds the most stringent USG operational requirements for a combat handgun. The MK23 passed the following tests to ensure it would stand up to rigorous Navy SEAL use: 30,000 round endurance firing test with + P ammunition Extreme temperatures +73°C/-54°C (+ 160/-60 F) 96 hours saline mist test Sand, dust and sludge tests 96 hour surf simulation Harshest drop tests Accuracy and the highest precision The MK23 is extremely reliable. In environmental testing, an unlubricated pistol was exposed to two hours of seawater at 66 feet, and in surf, sand, mud, and icing conditions. In firing testing, all pistols averaged 6,000 rounds between stoppage (MRBS). And in more than 450 accuracy test firings from a precision firing fixture, MK23 pistols far exceeded the USG requirement, averaging under 37mm. The MK23 has a special recoil-reduction system, which softens recoil forces to the components and shooter by 40%. It is a double/single-action pistol with a 12-round magazine. It is designed to attach a KAC Sound Suppressor, which is so effective that U.S. SOF say that all they can hear when the gun is fired is the sound of the action. The MK23 can also attach a high-tech Laser Aiming Module (LAM) which consists of a 3-dot system of white, self-luminous tritium dots. The LAM operates in one of 4 selected modes: visible laser only; visible laser/flashlight; infrared laser only; and infrared laser/illuminator. The MK23 is kept in the armories of both the SEALs and the Special Boat Teams. Specifications: Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Caliber: 45 ACP Weight w/o magazine: 4.22 lbs. (w/suppressor) Length: 9.65 in. (16.56 w/suppressor) Barrel Length: 5.875 in. Capacity: 12+1

I will go with the H&K P7, and give you the pistols history to offer backup why it is the best. Engineered for the combatant's survival. This is from an HK engineer who is a member of the HKPro forum and is an expert on the P7: This may be a good time to share this again. The HK P7 is a very intriguing design. Even more so is the background why it is designed the way it is. It was not because the designer Helmut Weldle wanted it just to be different. Look at it from the aspect of the user prevailing (surviving) in a gun fight. The ENTIRE pistol is designed with that one goal in mind – to give the user minute advantages in speed, accuracy and ease of use needed to survive the violent, rapid, high stress, reactionary nature of gun fights. According to law enforcement statistics the average gun fight is over in seconds (@ 3-5), often it occurs under low light conditions and usually it is at ranges under 7 yards. Some time the good guy starts from a disadvantage with the weapon holstered and the bad guy with the element of surprise. Thus the optimum gun fighters’ tool to prevail as the good guy would have to be; 1. Fast to make ready and to fire and; 2. Easy and non-sequential to make ready and fire AND to “make safe” afterwards and; 3. Accurate and reliable enough for the task at hand. For the P7 the controversial caliber and related terminal effectiveness parameters were already set by the German police as 9x19mm Parabellum when they asked for candidates. Weldle looked at gun fight stats and based his development on those factors with these goals achieved in the design. 1. Fast The P7 can be fired in three ways with no sequence required. Squeeze Cocker first, then Trigger (preferred), Trigger then Squeeze Cocker, or both at once. So the P7 goes from uncocked and "safe" with a round chambered (which was a requirement for it – a chambered round inside yet still safe to carry that way) to a firing condition instantly. It can be upholstered and “all systems squeezed” to provide a very fast first shot. There is no manual safety to find or fool with as was the case with many semi-autos in the 1970s when it was designed. It is also fast to reload with the cocking lever acting as the slide release. 2. Easy Under extreme stress the pistol must be able to be used easily when fine motor skills disappear and past training takes over. There are no sequential steps to fire the P7 and it is even easier to “make safe” by simply releasing the cocking lever – gun goes uncocked but still with a round in the chamber. No manual safety to engage, no decocking lever to actuate. Relaxing the hand is a simple task. 3. Accurate How much accuracy does one need to hit a man-sized target at 7 yards or less? – not much. However accuracy can also be defined as the ability to get rounds on target quickly and instinctually, not the size of the group (aka precision). In that regard the physical layout of the P7 is purpose-designed with a select grip-to-barrel angle (same as your index finger related to the center of your palm) thus what you look at and point your finger at the pistol follows. The entire operating system, in particular the gas retardation system and fixed barrel, was developed anew to lower the P7’s center of gravity into the center of the hand to reduce the slide height and resulting muzzle whip that adversely affects rapid follow up shots. It aims naturally because it fits the hand well. The full time SA trigger makes it easy to break each shot without the need to deal with a heavy 10+ pound and long length of travel DA or DA Only trigger pull. The squeeze cocking design allows the safe use of a SA trigger system with its resulting excellent trigger pull without the need for a manual safety, and still remain a safe system. How many other SA pistols are safe without their manual safety engaged? Sure the P7 is safe and includes many unique safety features by design but safety during the gun fight was not a prime mover in the concept, that is beyond making it safe to carry before and after its actual use during the gun fight. The ambi mag release, adjustable sights, loaded chamber indicator extractor, slim snag-free profile and other features on the P7 are nice-to-haves as well and add to the overall package but were not core concerns as they play a minor to no factor in the classic gun fight scenario, at least that of the era of the 1970’s. Many folks complain of the tiny and for some hard to engage slide stop and heat build up in the gas system after 3 or 4 magazines in rapid fire. That in itself reveals the true intent of the P7 as a pure gun fighter’s tool. Weldle didn’t care about that. You would never use the slide stop in a gun fight and likely never get out of the first magazine either so they are not factors. Thus is the reason why the Germans were always satisfied with 8+1 rounds (The 13-shot P7M13 was an American idea). This is why with P7’s you either get it or don’t. They were not intended to be range guns but serious tools with a very specific purpose in mind. G3Kurz

The CMP, it its effort to get enough Garands out of its armory to meet the high demand for Garand purchases these days is slipping a little on quality. My CMP garand would not lock in an en bloc clip, and the rear sight peep was loose. You can't find a Garand for a better price than at the CMP, but not all the rifles that are sent out are functioning perfectly.

If you reload and cast your own, you will only need to hoard primers, lead and powders to get you through an economc collapse or a wave of anti gun/ammunition legislation. It makes more sense now then ever before to get youself set-up to reload.

I would recommend that you take a ride down to Maryland where crabs are what is good there. I haven't had a good crab or crabcake since I left Maryland. All the carbcakes that people rave about here are 50% bread crumbs. Jumbo lump? not available here. If you have an itch to hang a chicken neck overboard a rowboat rental, have at it, but you'll never get your fill. You should wait until the heat rolls in; the crabs don't come out of the sand until then. Skipper's Pier Restaurant & Dock Bar They have all you can eat #2s when crabs are in...+ a nice place on the water to hang out, drink and eat crabs.

If you have a vehicle without a trunk, then just put the firearm in a locked guncase and put it in your vehicle where is fits, back seat if it doesn't physically fit the rear storage area in your vehicle if that is the best that you can do. I don't know whether you have an FID or not, but I would definitely be carrying it if I had to transport with the firearm exposed in the rear seating area.

I had a side mount scope for my Saiga convert, but it was uncomfortable to shoot with no decent cheek weld. Yes, my SSR-56-2

The Ultimak mount is rock solid. It mounts with 2 U-bolts directly to the barrel.

1. Started out as a means to hunt and because I enjoyed shooting over 30 years ago. 2. Additionally as a means to protect myself and my family 3.To exercise my 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms

Your friend could purchase the gun that you want for himself, even while knowing your intention to buy it from him. After he gains possesion, he could sell it to you after you acquire your own P2P and you go through the entire process. No way that you may possess it until your transfer has concluded. So the answer to your question is really no. If there were some great deal that you would lose out on if it wasn't purchased immediately, your friend could use his second permit to secure it for you, but you'd still need to go through the entire purchase process for the transfer between the two of youse.

I have one for my H&K P7 PSP, and it is a very comfortable and well made holster. Definitely worth the wait.

I'd rather have an over zealous RO yelling than numb-nut shooters with no common sense or gun safety skills doing what ever they want. Better safe than sorry.

For 200 to 300yds I use 39gr of Varget for a 155 grain Hornandy AMAX bullet in my .308 Garand.

AMD-65 on Nodak Spud receiver Arsenal USA/Global Trades SSR-56-2 Quote: Originally Posted by mondxxxxx I bought a SSR-56-2 from Arsenal USA in April 2004.

I am confused about the history of Arsenal USA/Global Trades, and what has become of them, and I have read about problems with their products or their predecessor's. As far as I know when my rifle was built, the Arsenal USA shop was run by a Bulgarian who was a foreman from a factory in his country, and that his products were top notch. Can anyone fill me in with the details of the history of A USA/GT, and tell me how my rifle ranks quality wise? The shop "foreman" was actually the head of Arsenal 10 plant in Bulgaria. Global Trades/AUSA imported him to head up their fabrication efforts. GT/AUSA was the only company I know of to import brand new AK parts directly from the factory for assembly here. They were the first to build AKs from "parts kits" (brand new parts right off the production line - not cut up rifles). GT/AUSA rifles are some of the highest quality AKs out there. Do not be fooled by currently imported SSR-85 rifles. (These nice AK-47s do not reside in NJ)

I've never had a problem with plastic in my rifling...

My first muzzleloader was a T/C Hawken .50 and I shot many deer with it. That was before sabots and optics were legal in MD and VA. Once those laws changed, I bought a Knight in-line onto which I installed a Leupold Vari-X II 2.5x8 which has followed along with the T/C's deadly tradition on the whitetail. The rate of twist for patch and ball and sabots are different, and you can't have one rifle that does both well. I find the in-lines to be much more reliable in wet conditions. Also if I haven't fired the in-line after a day's hunt, you can pull the plug and push the charge through the breach without firing, so it's a breeze to clean and put back into storage.
