Just expanding hollow points that were unfortunate to have a somewhat ominous sounding name. Their capabilities and supposed hazards were blown all out of proportion in the popular media, of course (I know, you're shocked) and the factory responded by restricting them for LEOs only - which only...
Local Wal-Mart had 3 black rifles in the case today, though I couldn't see makes and prices (and a guy was waiting for his 4473 to go through, so I didn't bother the staff just to look). And the shortage has caused several major manufacturers to ramp up production - I'm seeing stripped lowers...
You have an M1864 US Army Noncommissioned Officer's Sword. This weapon was a badge of rank, last ditch weapon, and unit of measure for Corporals and Sergeants of the Union Army. It is still used today in ceremonies by US Army NCOs. It is worth about $300- or so at auction since it is complete...
So the firearms slang police are actively on patrol here on THR... What about other common terms?
Scattergun?
Party Pump?
'Gauge?
Trench Broom?
Blunderbuss?
I would hate to be caught using non-societally correct nicknames on this site, so I thank y'all in advance for your guidance...
Though I can understand the nostalgic appeal of the Thompson platform, its lack of practicality makes it a bit of a one trick pony from my own standpoint.
Another option is to get the MGI Hydra AR rifle - by switching out mag well, bolt and barrel you can go from .45 fed by M3 Grease Gun...
The question is, how do they differentiate between someone selling a gun made for personal use, and someone selling a gun made for sale? It'd be a bit tricky proving one or the other unless there were multiple sales made.
I agree that .223 is too small of a cartridge for the game you describe. If you're sticking to the AR-15 platform, you are limited by magazine length - but among the workable options 7.62x39 and 6.5 SPC both offer greatly improved performance and range.
If you want to step up to the AR-10...
Another option is to pick up a USGI parts kit and have it assembled on a US made receiver. This is the route I went with. Jon Wolfe built it up with his Wolfe Medium Modified Barrel and op rod guide and a Fulton Armory receiver. To say I am happy with this rifle would be a vast understatement...
There is no quantity limit on NFA weapons that I'm aware of - I know several shooters whose collections number in the dozens of pieces. You just have to pay the transfer fee for each one - and those $200- tax stamps add up quickly, to say nothing of the cost of the items themselves. That's one...
+1 to a recoil reducing adjustable LOP stock. Although I have the COPStock - a folding wire stock that provides for recoil reduction in both unfolded and PGO versions.
Dripping wet works OK for the range - not so much for a truck gun, in which case all that lube will hold dust and sand. The key point to remember is that anywhere metal rides on metal, you neded to have a film of lube in between. For the AR, this means that the 4 rails machined onto the bolt...
The 4-line trademark on my mid-70's 10-5 M&P reads -
MADE IN USA
MARCAS REGISTRADAS
SMITH & WESSON
SPRINGFIELD, MASS.
'Marcas Registradas' is Latin and not Spanish.
In May, 1948, Smith & Wesson changed their simple "Made In USA" rollmark to a more complex four line bilingual...
Sure they do... right up until they have their first ND. I'm not saying you've never seen this - but I seriously doubt you will ever find this in written policy. For comparison, when in the US Army MP and Stateside armed security personnel most commonly carry in Condition 3 - loaded magazine...
For me, the whole point of lugging the extra weight of the M14 platform and 7.62 ammo is to take advantage of its greater range. Certain Special Operations units have submitted an Operational Needs Statement (ONS) for a short length M14 rifle - but you can bet those are used in specific...
