    M1A Question

    CAMARO = Can't America Make a Real One! :D That said, I stand by my original statement... as with everything in life, use the tool to it's strengths and minimize it's weaknesses... the M14 platform is reliable with sensible maintenance. For the average civilian who isn't relying on one and...

    M1A Question

    I will say that for me the decision to get an M1A was entirely in the "fun to shoot" category and zero in the "is practical for xyz". It also has a bit of "Ford Mustang vs BMW M3" feel to it. On paper, performance wise, the two cars are nearly identical but the feeling of actually achieving...

    Potential move to Nebraska with handguns.

    Only thing about Council Bluffs are the stoplight cameras. Not exactly a 2A related thing, but I refuse to drive through CB anymore. They don't even assess points against your license with them, just a civil fine which tells me everything I need to know about how that community is run...

    Potential move to Nebraska with handguns.

    Nebraska requires a CCW permit to carry within the state. Some states have reciprocity and information about what states have reciprocity are on the Nebraska State Patrol's webpage as they manage the CCW stuff. Purchasing handguns (or blank AR15 lowers) requires a Handgun Purchasers Permit...

    16" Naval Gun; Two 16-Shot Groups. Accurate?

    I was more or less examining the reasons why it exists in contrast to whether or not it's measurement necessarily mattered. It was very difficult to control for and even in the 1980's the DOPPLER units were more for getting an accurate measurement of the velocity of the shells for ranging...

    16" Naval Gun; Two 16-Shot Groups. Accurate?

    Lots of fun and interesting things in here about the 16" Mark 7 guns mounted on board four of the best fighting ships the world has ever seen. Some misconceptions though too. -The death and demise of Battleships has nothing to do with cost and everything to do with aircraft and age. Cost...

    Grease or Oil? Read post first

    Just as an aside, the conversation about wheel bearings... just about every live axle vehicle uses gear oil to lubricate the wheel bearings... my 2009 Mustang certainly did. The front wheel bearings were greased, but the rear ones, were greased on install but otherwise cooled and lubricated by...

    Carrying Concealed Without ID

    Kenneth, I believe he is asking that since Idaho no longer requires a CCW Permit, how does he go about proving he is able to legally carry a concealed firearm. In Idaho, the easiest way to do this is to have a driver's license on person. May not be required, but as a LEO, it's very easy for me...

    Supreme Court rules domestic abusers can lose gun ownership rights

    Praxide speaks the truth... as a LEO myself and having worked this, it is going to depend heavily on the evidence presented at the time of questioning... generally speaking, crimes of domestic violence are a no-option arrest... in other words, if PC exists that DV existed, an arrest has to be...

    No 2A rights for restraining order?

    State of Nebraska has two separate "Protection Orders" 1.) Domestic Violence Protection Orders (Ex Parte) 2.) Harassment Protection Order The former is granted between involved parties in a family type situation... beit spouse, significant other, friend with benefits.... basically any...

    Just Received 18" Wylde 1:8 Barrel Break In Suggestions?

    Pretty sure CLP was joking with that procedure. My barrel maker recommended cleaning with a patch between the first 10 rounds and then every 5 after that for the first 5 (so 12 cleanings). Then he said you could probably go about 100 rounds before accuracy falls off. I plan on taking his...

    AR-15 within $1500 budget

    You can build an insanely good rifle for that price, even with some optics depending on your intended use. Unless you just aren't mechanically inclined or a company offers EXACTLY what you want, building is usually a better way to get the rifle you want than to settle for something and...

    Springfield M1A

    I have an M1A Loaded in a Walnut stock (used to be in a Troy MCS with optics, but got rid of that because I wanted to build an AR15) that shoots 1.5 MOA with handloads pretty consistently. Not talking about 3 round groups, but 10 round groups. It's pretty handy even with it's weight but I'll...

    M1A VS Sig 716 VS SCAR 17s VS FN FAL

    My vote goes to the M14 platform rifles. If a SCAR is in your budget, you can buy a heck of a nice rifle from James River Armory or a NICE M1A from SAI and probably even touch an entry level LRB. Really if you want to be picky about it, you could build an M14 pattern rifle to your fits. The...

    Are floating firing pins safe?

    Food for thought: Cruiser ready serves two purposes. The first is it prevents multiple light strikes on the chambered round from driving around in a cruiser all day. I don't know if it would actually matter or not (suggestion for next video chopinbloc!) but I'd also like to not find out...

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    Interesting, I have a PSA Dissipator upper (16" barrel with midlength gas) an H2 buffer and standard carbine spring and spent brass from the American Eagle XM193 eject dang near straight forward. The steel cases from Hornady 55gr Steel Match eject at the 2:30-3:00 o'clock. I'll be curious...

    Douglas County Schools buy AR-15's!

    I guess I'll restate my training again just to remind people. When I was trained in active shooter response in the summer of 2014, the prevailing wisdom was that the vast majority of active shooters either took their own life or were killed by someone else with a gun. The studies shown to us...

    My next AR upper - caliber choice for deer hunting

    A vote for 6x45 here if you are a reloader. Huge selection of hunting bullets, better ballistics than 5.56 and easy to make. Dies are readily available,as are barrels. Only needed change is the barrel as it uses the 5.56 as the parent case which rules out custom magazines or bolts.
