Its very clear up above in black and white as far as I'm concerned. That gun with a mag capicity of lower then 16 is legal.

Its legal without doing so..so why bother?

I just checked the website and there is a version of the tatical with a PG and collapsable stock. However it seems as this model is only available in .223

Mini 30 tatical has a pistol grip correct? In that case NO it would not be legal with a flash supressor or threads. If it has a standard rifle stock then yes it would be legal IMHO

I've got my eye on the first one! An Iver Johnsen .32sw top break. $75 at my LGS... going to pick it up today or tomorrow unless i find something cooler.. **cough cough** anyone?

absolutely. mine loves it

I took my hood off once haha Just for giggles... but getting that 150lbs off the front axle dropped me 1.3 tenths...

NA Is the term for a first gen miata which includes 90-93 1.6L models and 94-97 1.8L models. NB is 98-04 NC is 05+ Thats cars you've seen having problems were most likely half assed. Kids with little money who piece together turbo kits and buy used turbo's and install without rebuilding them. Now its true that a otherwise stock boosted miata would more then likely have more issues then a stock LSX..however when you're talking about a swap in a miata its not just the motor you're replacing the entire drivetrain with parts never originally intended for use in that car and a chassis that was never designed to handle the weight or torque of that setup. The likelyhood of problem arising in a v8 swap miata in my humble opinion or just as likely if not more then a stock motor car running toward the limit. As far as useable rpm range an ls and boosted miata motor are similar, ls1's in a stock configuration are not very useful below 3000rpm (which is why people who drag them generally start at 3k converters and up but for argument sake lets say they start making good power at 2500. A 1.8 miata motor with stock intake mani, top and bottom ends on a 46mm garret charger will be on boost by 3500rpm (generally sooner in reality but im giving the benefit of the doubt). so on an ls1 with a stock top end you're all done making powe at 6200rpm. Some quick math will yeild that an ls1 has approx useable rpm window of 3700rpm. Now a 1.8L miata motor will be making good power from 3500 to 7100rpm...little more math and you get yourself a 3600rpm window. Also remember those mazda motors are very strong for their size... not that many cars can handle 155hp per litre on a stock rotating assembley and top end. And trust me I know very well of torque and experiance it in quadruple digit numbers regularly.

I carry this and a model 37 once in a while Also for when I visit the free states... plus little guns are neat

not if it's going to cause a confrontation over something stupid.

It's just not convient or cost effective. Not to mention the small town scenerio as mentioned before... Case in point... my dad build the owners house

Deer are way way harder to hunt though...specially at handgun distances. Also, you gonna throw all the meat down in the basement freezer when the SHTF? Or just eat what you can and let the rest spoil?...

You're welcome to your preference. I was just taking a crack at debasing your theory I for one will take 15 of the .22's over 2 9mm's... Squirells are damn hard to hit and I don't like to be hungry

But where are you going to get 2300 rounds of amo when the SHTF? Certinally not on your back. my 22/45 has gone 500 rounds (in one day) without a cleaning and worked fine. If you seriously need 2000+ rounds before you have as much time as it takes to do a simple field strip and clean, well then my friend I hope your boots are knee high.

You could easily fit 4-5 bricks of .22 in your bug out bag. What are you gonna need more then 2,500 rounds for? Why do you need the big bore handgun? You're not going to battle with it.

.22lr...

Its a small town thing... everybody knows everybody. And the next closest FFL thats not a dickbag is an hour+ drive

I don't believe it is...

Na i won't I respect joe's wishes..

I mean do what you want... But a stock ls1 is 350hp at the flywheel and a stock NA 1.8 can do 280whp on 12lbs... and thats saving a couple hundred lbs and a crapton of money. Building a 1.8 is relatively cheap and easy and with a decent rotating assembly 400+whp is possible on pump gas and even more on e85. It just seems like a lot of work for nothing with a v8 swap... i mean I guess if you're looking for 5-600hp then an lsx would be in the cards but then its going to either be set up for the strip and handle terribly...or set up for handling and be able to smoke the rears from 90mph. Thats just my opinion anyway...

Joe, listen.... me and vinny have had the same argument. I just dropped it. It's not worth the BS. If you really want a gun with a threaded barrel just buy that one gun somewhere else BTW if you're looking for a 22/45 I'm thinking of selling mine for a bersa

It is my humble opinion that v8 miata's are stupid as hell. Plenty of 4 bangers out there making good power

Dude that one guy had a gold AK... In other news,.... I would hate to be on the other side of town

I would like to see someone load a primer only round and hand cylcle it to see if out of batter ignition is really possible. I know by theory it sounds possible... but could they really have overlooked that during the design process? plus there are no cases of it happening as far as i can find on the interwebz

They're reliable as hell.... and if they do break its super cheap to fix them. I just put in a new slave AND master cylinder in mine last night for the grand total of $50 + some dot3 Its a nice change from my truck which everything costs $1,000,000,000 for.. oh and we're talking about low now? haha look at my truck from the side angle.. I have litrerally 4" of clearance at the trans crossmember
