I can understand the argument for additional regulations on machineguns and actual destructive devices like mortars, RPGs and other explosives. Not saying I agree with the argument, but I can understand it. Silencers though? People need to understand that silencers wound up being restricted because the NFA was done in the Great Depression & people were poaching because it was either illegally shoot a deer or your family starves. Silencers are literally safety devices. No more, no less. The uniform & lockstep opposition to deregulating them from the people who scream about "common sense regulation" and "firearms safety measures" really shows their true colors. This whole movie nonsense of a 3" can making a pistol go "pew pew" is the same silly bullshit that makes them believe that a shotgun blast will send someone through a wall, or hand grenades make fiery red explosions. A parallel example is the federal ban on switchblades which came about not because of actual crime or anything horrific, but after the movie West Side Story.

If they make it that easier they had to ban them back in the day where there was that much more wildlife it must of been pretty bad. poo poo now my views on suppressors are interlocked with EBT benefits. NO FOOD STAMPS? NO SUPPRESSORS!

MassivelyBuckNegro posted:yeah so what? the nfa isnt good legislation. I'm actually rather neutral on the issue. Just remembered seeing something about gun legislation around silencers and poo poo introduced. Silencers aren't something I'm politically excitable about. I'm pretty liberal all around, even in conservative concerns. Just be sure the person isn't going on a homicidal free for all and not already a violent offender and I could really care less. So own whatever silenced machine gun you want, it's your ammo, money, etc.

Apparently the ATF wants to be really chill now. This is just so bizarre to read. They even talk about the rifle import ban getting junked. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...7882_story.html http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/02/06/breaking-atf-white-paper-leaked/

Ended up going shooting lastnight with a friend, he has a brand new Rossi R85104 and it actually shot much better than my old Rossi and my new S&W .357, way more accurate, smoother action, less recoil. I'm now seriously debating selling my SW because I can pick up the same Rossi from a local gunshop for $250 and my SW sells for around $650 around here

It shoots straight and everything works nicely. But after the rear sight ejected itself, I started reading more reviews. Warranty work is in the neighborhood of hilarious and ridiculous so I took it to the shop I bought it from and their smith took care of it for cheap. In the end, I wanted a revolver and if you're gonna gamble on cheap or brazilian, may as well try a Rossi. Function over form. But it does look pretty decent too.

I've never mounted a scope before, does this look about right or should it be farther forward? Still roomy enough to not interfere with the charging handle but if it has to go more than about one notch forward it might get a little cramped.

If you haven't shot the rifle at yet, if you seat your cheek too far forward on the stock, the part where it curves up to the rest of the rifle will be slamming into your cheek from recoil. So that will be a consideration for mounting the scope as well. Let me know how you like it though, still in the market for a scope for mine

Also be sure that the mounting screws all have loctite on them, especially with a heavy recoiling gun like that. Scope mount position is personal preference; I usually get prone and set it based on my eye relief in that position. As long as it's close enough that you have a good sight picture, but not close enough that it's gonna smack you in the face under recoil, it should be fine.

I'm kind of amazed by it too, because all I ever really shoot from it aside from the occasional .38 P at the range is snake shot packed by local rednecks, and it has never had a single issue and it's still accurate at 20 yards. Though I have after-market grips and sights on it

You wanna build up the comb on the buttstock on that rifle when you're using it with a scope. You can make one from Kydex but there's stuff you can buy too.

Went shooting today. Also found out that a medical marijuana card is a DQ for a concealed carry permit until the card expires + 1 year, because in the eyes of the ATF, you're admitting to addiction to a Schedule 1 drug.

And that's why I haven't gone and gotten a med card here in Colorado. California's supreme court answered that question a few months back. Only a matter of time before that question gets added to the list of poo poo to answer on a background check. Since weed's legal here, common sense would say you can say no to using illegal narcotics if you just smoke weed. Don't go in looking all rasta or smelling like you just put the bong down and you're fine. Or just go to a gun show.

They've already added a question about it to the form 4473: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/atf-form-4473-firearms-transaction-record-revisions And I dunno about other states, but here in CO, any firearm transfer must go through the regular FFL background check, even at a gun show. It's been that way even before the 2013 background check laws.

I haven't looked into the laws here besides cursory glances. It was the wild goddamn west in Tennessee and gun shows are pretty much the easiest way to buy a gun. Dealers are one thing, they're gonna check. But Billy Bob walking around with an armload of ARs he bought on credit and can't make the bill is not going to care in the slightest.

Yeah. I planned on looking into it more closely when I get around to making a serious decision on what to buy. That's probably not any time in the immediate future. Just the revolver and a cricket bat will suit for now.

As penance you should go buy a stripped AR lower. Then you will know the pain of analysis paralysis as you try to figure out what the best cost/performance on every drat part is.

That's actually next up on my list of to-do's. Had to sell all my guns a long time ago along with my AR I built because I was broke. Time to get another one. Had an Aeroprecision lower and DSA 16" uppper that Miso Beno and two other friends bought for my birthday. I hated having to sell it especially because it was a birthday present.

Yeah, SBR and silencer stamps. It's a .45 can, but still works on 9. Totally hearing safe outside, the ring of steel being shot is louder than the sound of the gun itself. (I'm running 147gr rounds which are subsonic by default of course. There's an audible crack with 115gr rounds.)

Who makes a good hard case? Rifle and pistol sizes. Obviously Pelican, but I really hate the pricetag, but I also don't want to drop a cool $50 on a Plano that's going to shatter after 8 minutes of UV exposure.

Just buy the Pelican. Everyone balks at the price, but you won't find the same quality in something cheaper. I mean, it's a gun case, not a cooler. You don't need a yeti to tote beer around all day, but beer is a significantly cheaper investment than a firearm.

A Pelican long enough to hold an M1 costs about 40% of what I paid for my M1. Edit: I'll probably end up doing it, but I don't want to give up yet. Godholio fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Feb 15, 2017 |
