Re: Your fellow citizens will happily send you to the ovens

To be fair, I'd happily send the statists (of any particular flavor) to an open burn pit.

The all-powerful State that we all love and trust, of course. They know what's best for us.

That salary's pretty weak for a moving target job. Hopefully, the position's detriments and risks pose too hazardous.

Re: Roller lock platform

As a re-loader I dislike the chamber flutes left in fired cases from a roller lock G3 or PTR-91. They eventually flatten out but I still don't like them deforming the brass. I reload all the brass that goes through my PTR. The flutes pose no issue to reloading and the brass functions fine in my oth...

Re: Opinions on 17 HMR Rifles

I have to try hard not to shoot one-hole groups with a .17 Savage. Great rifle, and a fun little cartridge.

Re: Roller lock platform

My PTR-91 shoots nice little clover-leaf groups and recoils almost as softly as my FALs. I have no desire for another, but it's not going anywhere, and I'm sitting on a pile of mags and spare parts.

Re: AR versus AK - which is better? Why?

I wouldn't run an AR without a self-lubricated bolt... nickel, chrome, NP3, etc. Why? Plenty of ARs run fine without them. Keeping the parts lubricated is more important than any particular surface treatment. [For what it's worth, most of mine run either nitrided or nickel boron'ed bolt components,...

Re: Gunsmiths or recommendations chime in

Here's a shop NOT on my to-recommend list: Kilo Guns just south of Deer Valley Airport. Dropped off an Aero Precision M5 upper, handguard, and Faxon 6.5 CM barrel for assembly and headspace. The goddamned barrel nut came loose because they only used two shims out of the five I provided . :oops: :mad...

Re: tapco sucks

No way!

The only thing of theirs that I bought that actually worked well was their FAL spring kits.

Re: Colonel Rex Applegate Point Shooting Instructional Film WWII

It amazes me how far firearms instruction has progressed from such humble and rudimentary beginnings. Still, we can thank folks like Applegate that actually cared enough to break the mold in mainstream tactical thinking at the time.
