    M17 - public availability?

    Ha ha! That would be might refreshing to hear, wouldn't it? :). "Attention: this product serves no real purpose." "Warning, this product could be better, but this is easier and we just don't feel like it's worth the effort."

    M17 - public availability?

    That certainly was clear. But why in the world poke fun at a company for not only doing what is merely the absolute right thing for them to do in order to procure a good return on their investors' money, and the right thing to do for them to be able to win a military contract, and the right...

    Full Auto to Burst

    The daft thing is that reading that sentence it could mean almost anything. Is it only an illegal assault weapon if it is capable of full auto, semi-auto, AND burst? Well, sure, that would fit. But the word "or" seems to preclude any combination of two firing modes. And I think that's how...

    Full Auto to Burst

    You may be right, though I'm not sure how it is applied in practice. The law says: You can't have both. You may be able to have burst instead of full-auto.

    Full Auto to Burst

    Odd and interesting caveat, which I understand does not apply to someone in AZ, or most of the US: Did you know that in Connecticut it is lawful to own a full-auto firearm, but NOT one that fires in burst mode? Their assault weapons law prohibits that specifically. Weird, huh? So, I guess to...

    M17 - public availability?

    So...SIG saying, "we will price these to make the best profit we can" should impress you with their ethics! After all, there's little more a business could do to educate their customers than explain their pricing practices so clearly, right? Bravo to them. And, of course, a buyer does not...

    M17 - public availability?

    That's pretty much Business 101. A company which hopes to make a profit on a product should sell it at the price point where the number of units they can sell is balanced at the highest price for which they can sell them, thus providing the highest return on their Investments to produce that...

    Is it legal to walk around with a shotgun in public

    Depends on your the laws of your state, city, etc. You should call a lawyer licensed in your state and ask them.

    Shadow Tech knives?

    1095 is a very common carbon steel.

    Sawed-off shotgun question.

    Indeed. Close the action and insert a wooden rod or cleaning rod down the bore until it rests on the face of the bolt. Mark the rod at the muzzle. Pull it back out and measure to the mark. You want that to be more than 18".

    3 gun scoring: does total rounds fired matter?

    Ha, yeah, usually the "penalty" comes in the 0.5 sec to 2 or 3 seconds it takes you to aim and fire each of those extra shots. :)

    Will combining National Carry Reciprocity with Fix NICS help it pass?

    Maybe. It's all fuzzy history at this point, and speculation. In the 1980s, without any external pressure making the market go nuts, very few shooters seemed to be all that interested in full-auto stuff. It was easy to get (relatively speaking), was reasonably cheap (just a slight upcharge...

    Ok, why do people spend 15hundred+, for a semi auto copy of a machine pistol?

    If the money is not an object, as you say it isn't, then why not? If the price isn't of any concern to you then you buy what makes you happy, right? The gun will look and handle just like it's original variant, just without the rock-n-roll switch. So if that kind of gun appeals to you, you...

    Is There A Reason We Don't Pull The Cleaning Rod Breech To Muzzle?

    Probably lots of reasons, probably stemming from the secondary function of a traditional muzzle-loader's ramrod for cleaning the piece. These days I'd imagine the biggest reason is that a patch jag really can't be pulled, it has to be pushed through. A patch-puller loop can be pulled, but a...

    Short barreled rifle vs long barreled pistol??

    The law doesn't say it has to remain shoulder-fired. It says that if it is a rifle it can't be shorter than 26" overall and can't have a barrel shorter than 16".

    Sensation piece/warning on Savage 10ML-II ?

    I wonder to what extent it can be forensically proved how many bullets were loaded or what the actual charge weight in the gun was at the moment of ignition?

    Encountering suicides, first on the scene.

    Interesting, but not really gun and/or self-defense related. And certainly not the place to debate the old "sheepdog" trope.

    Is it legal to defend a property of theft?

    Just be careful thinking too hard about that. See, the problem is, your legal justification for shooting someone is always PURELY that you're defending your (and/or another's) life right in that instant. You cannot use lethal force to prevent the theft of an item, no matter how valuable it...

    Is it legal to defend a property of theft?

    Not a good idea to make too many decisions (or especially public and enduring pronouncements) about what you'd do to anybody found wherever. You just can't know what the totality of circumstances will tell you is the proper course of action in a given situation. (I mean, in that case, if...
