To the best of my knowledge, all a safe does is delay entrance to what’s in it. .gov has safe crackers, which can get in if they want, and your property (the safe) is damaged by doing so. That the government coerced the company to provide the combination doesn’t surprise me. Your defense against .go...

If they follow their leaders, it will amount to an unqualified equity hire.

If they want to throw $65K at a person who will not advance their agenda, who am I to complain?

More likely it will be some connected stay at home mom type who is educated past her intelligence.

Looks like 2006 to me as well.

Federal cartridge made .308.

Brass value.

The M240 FN MAG is current US gun.

Also used in the M60 machine gun and others.

The disintegrating links are current pattern for medium machine guns.

Not worth much cash wise, but neat.

Disintegrating linked 5.56?

Ie SAW ammo linked with empty brass?

Not cash wise worth a lot… just neat.

Heck, they put a nice range in Mankato- got the funding based on the public could use it when LE didn’t need it.

Big fancy facility.

No sooner than they built it than the public was not allowed… the chief didn’t want “civilians observing LE tactics and putting officers lives in danger”…

Given how many firearms are known to be in the US, 30% is impossibly low.

In my mind, the only real reason to have an AR pistol is hunting. An artifact of our goofy laws. The SBR is the more useful option. That being said, the games the ATF has been playing with changing what they stated was legal are wrong. I get why folks don’t want to tax stamp it, and it’s certainly n...

A difference being most of us like to actually shoot as opposed to just reading or watching someone on youtube shoot something unobtainable.

75,000 episodes in 127 cities... The auto sear is already illegal. Just how many of the folks who already have full auto weapons illegally were arrested? I saw a bunch on the "expose" on channel 5 the other night... again, how many convictions EVEN WITH THE POLICE CATCHING THEM IN THE POSS...

Those are my main sources.

If it was mine, I’d be contacting the importer (Winchester) and asking them where to send it.

Jim has fixed some pretty high end rifles for me, and if he refuses to touch these repros that’s saying something about them.

I have one from a .416 rifle that was recovered from a tree. Lots more energy there.

Bullets can do strange things sometimes.

Agree. It’s fired, with obvious rifling.

I suppose one could drive a bullet through the bore with a rod and hammer as well, but that usually leaves pretty obvious marks on the base or nose. I don’t see those there.

From the Declaration of Independence they are god given. The imperfect way of dealing with it is through laws and the court process. Since it’s impossible to know the mind of god, the founders suggested that since having one person (the king) didn’t work well, having the collective body consent to t...

Kind of agree and disagree. I assume the argument is that it’s a natural law that you have the right to defend yourself. I buy that. But I also look around the world as see places like the UK, where if you defend yourself you end up in prison. While I agree you have a moral right to defend yourself,...

I dunno.

I’ve met quite a few Mexicans while hunting overseas.

If you are middle class or above over there, it seems not uncommon.

More like the one legal gun shop is making a killing off sales to all these folks as a government monopoly.
