You sound like me. I bought a couple of "braces" for a PCC I haven't bought yet because I'm waiting for the prices on the gun to go down, but the braces might be "banned"* before that happens.
* Banned, not illegal, because Chairman Xiden runs the executive branch, but only the legislative branch has the power to make something 'illegal.'

Just noticed yesterday that Midway has a big lot coming from Italy that have been in storage since 1950. Looks like the selection is pretty representative of the manufacturers back then.
Winchester
Rock-Ola
National Postal Meter
Quality Hardware
Standard Products
Saginaw – Variants S.G and S'G'
Underwood – Variants B, S, T and W marked receivers
Inland
IBM
Edit: Of course, no UN-Quality or Commercial Controls. There were a butt ton of subcontractors, so who knows what is paired with what without having the actual firearm in your hands.
It looks like they'll be grading them and there's plenty of variations, but supposedly none have been arsenal refurbished.Last edited by almostgone; 05-29-2021 at 08:42 AM.

CBS is reporting that NICS checks in the 1st quarter of 2021 were 13% higher than in the same period in 2020.
Which means the ammunition famine will get 13% deeper.
I read this one gun blogger who never posts mention of an ammo order going to the government but that he offers that all ammunition production should be dedicated to the civilian market until the civilian market is saturated to remind the government just how much its meddling complicates the process of expanding ammo production, which interferes with the practice of lawful commerce between the ammo industry and the general public, which diminishes our capacity to exercise our Second Amendment rights.
Sounds reasonable to me.

I haven't bought ammo in years. I got myself a press and I put together my own ammo. I don't really save much money doing it, but it's a hobby and I end up with rounds that function better in my guns than factory ammo does. I can use powders that give me better performance or burn cleaner, I can seat bullets to specifically fit my guns' chambers. I can use better projectiles, better primers, better brass (although I almost always just use range brass that I sweep up).
But then Commiefornia had to pass all those anti-2A laws. And here I am, largely unaffected by their ammo laws. I'm not subjected to their background checks, I don't have to ask them permission to exercise my right.

Texas has two newly-passed pro-2A bills going to the governor. The first would deny any financial institution the privilege of doing business with the state of Texas if they discriminate against firearm or ammo manufacturers. The second would require hoteliers to not hinder guests traveling with firearms from keeping their guns in their room or from carrying their guns on a direct route from their outside transportation, through hotel common areas and to their room.
Can Flarduh and Tennessee be far behind?

Botach is advertising Winchester-branded M855 in stock in 150-rd lots for 76₵ a round.
No. available changed from 10 to 12 while I've been writing this, for whatever that's worth.

@H_K.....that sucks that they described the Hornady as M855 ammo.
Don't really recall seeing any M855 by Hornady, but if it was listed as M855 SS109 should hang on a magnet.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

For the short attention span crowd, the answer is that the "old wives' tale" is not too far wrong but most likely only by accident. This guy uses a heapin' helpin of that 'logic' stuff to arrive at the same point (no old wives were harmed in the making of this video).
The True Distance of a Typical Gunfight
When we rely on statistics to help make important decisions, it's helpful to know if those stats are actually true. We’ve all heard that most gunfights take place at three yards. It’s part of the old “three shots, three yards, three seconds” standard. But where does that come from? Is it reliable? Do we have any other sources that are more reliable or more specific? Today, we're taking a critical look at the available data to find out what's myth and what's relevant for the average armed citizen for concealed carry....

Thanks. It's like a brand new 100 year old rifle. Actually, I took some liberties with the color of the stock and made it darker and redder than it should've been.
I thought it would pop a little more stained that way. But now, I did all that work to it, I don't want to shoot it.
Now that I'm done with that, I kind of want to try one that needs a little more work than that.

Had to resurrect this one …
Had my eye on one awhile now, finally “pulled the trigger”
Tikka t3xlite roughtech stock chambered for 300 WM paired zeiss 4-16 glass I hope it shoots as smooth as she looks.
Bolt is so nice by far the best action of any of my rifles feels much more expensive than what it is although this setup is far from cheap. Gonna zero her out at 200 yards hopefully soon

09-07-2023, 09:57 PM #1181
Oh, now that's nice! I think that was the model or very similar to one I looked at recently (just for shits and giggles). Composite stock, fluted barrel, but the bolt wasn't? I'm thinking the barrel was stainless and I don't think the scope came with one I handled.
If you aren't already, I would get into reloading. Lots of bullet weights to play with.
Edit: I'm trying to recall the caliber.....I want to say it was an 30-06? You'll get more thump with the 300 for sure.
Damn, I'm getting old. I can't recall if it was a Tikka or a Sako.Last edited by almostgone; 09-07-2023 at 10:04 PM.

M855/SS109 isnt steel core, its steel tip, general purpose light armor piercing.
IMO 55 grain/M193 is a better choice though
basically M855 will go straight through soft targets, M193 will fragment and cause very horrific damage. video shows these results conclusively
saiga 12s are cool, i have one as well. but the VEPR12 is better, i dont believe its affected by the import ban either
i stayed away from braces because i figured they would eventually be banned. but it looks like the courts have thrown that garbage out. im going to wait awhile to make sure its definitively put to bed, then i may buy a brace for my MP5 pistol, my draco AK pistol and my vector V51 HK91K pistol.
what id really like to see is the whole legal classification of short barreled rifle to be thrown out though, my full size uzi 9mm pistol would look sexy with a collapsible stock on itLast edited by JTP$; 09-10-2023 at 11:32 AM.

I thought all hand guns were band over here after the Dunblane shooting? I don’t have and gun licence but my best friend has shotgun (relatively easy to get) and a .22 rimfire rifle (a lot more difficult to get). I have been out shooting with him a few times. I have an air rifle in .22 extremely tame by the rest of the worlds standards, especially as it’s restricted to 12 foot pounds.

If you search the internet about the gun laws for Northern Ireland, they make it sound like only famous people and politicians can get a handgun -- they must satisfy the police requirement that their life is under threat. But then you actually go to a gun club and it turns out that everyone has one, and they can bring them home too.
I think though, when applying for a firearms certificate over here, a few people in the club have to vouch for you. Plus you need to have a safe in your car and also in your house. You can never have a loaded gun apart from at the gun range -- in fact you can't even have a loaded magazine in your house or in your car.
A friend of mine has guns at home in Northern Ireland, and he keeps the guns and the ammo in two separate safes.

Like i say I’m no expert my friend is a lot more clued up then me, plus Northern Ireland might have different laws (and for some reason i thought they would be stricter)
I just thought hand guns were limited to single shot and had to be kept at the gun club, i do know some people still use flintlocks at gun clubs over here.
I know my friend can keep the .22 ammo in the same safe but it needs to be in a separate locked box in the gun safe. Plus the amount of ammo you can keep at home is heavily restricted.no open source posting
