It sounds like you're putting an awful lot of effort into reinventing the wheel, and I'm not even sure your approach will work. And even if it does work, I'm not seeing how your idea is more than a marginal improvement over 45 acp, which is a million times easier to pull off in an AR-15 (or any...

IMO, unless you're already a seasoned reloader, stick with 300 BLK or the pistol calibers. At the less practical end of things, you're going to be shooting wildcats based off rifle rounds, which means custom barrels. It might mean going with a T/C contender/encore because there are no...

I already went through this debate 10 years ago. Ended up building a 45 acp AR-15 with an integral can back in 2005-2006. I also considered 458 socom and 300 whisper at the time, but rejected them for reasons which I will explain below. Under 3-400m, BC doesn't matter much, especially with...

What about fiber optic only sights? I'd love a fiber optic powered daytime sight like those old shotgun sights from the 40s if it was priced reasonably. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/nydar-reflex-sight/ A modern version of this couldn't be that hard to make, could it?

My feeling is that if his actual lawyer said it was ok, and his lawyer does crim defense for a living... his lawyer might actually be right. Also, is this a felony with a withhold or somesuch after he complates probation? IE, will he not be a convicted felon once he's done? That being said...

Also, be less afraid of state law than the terms of the probation/parole. There's a lot of things in there that will typically go far beyond what you would think is legal (ie, you can't associate with so-and-so, can't consume alcohol, can't do this or that) and still have very real consequences...

Being released from jail on parole doesn't mean they're a felon. Jail is also used as a punishment for misdemeanors.

I wouldn't worry about federal prosecution. In all my years of state level criminal defense, I never saw the feds except one time when a bunch of mexicans got pulled over with 30+ lbs of coke in their car. The mexicans vanished during pretrial discovery (feds snatched them up) and the local...

Past year or so, people have asked to see copies of my form 4s. Since I always bring them along anyway (in case of nosy LEOs), it's never been a problem.

The only thing that works for my integrally suppressed AR-15. I find rod based cleaning kits to work great for things like bolt actions and guns where the barrel can be easily exposed at both ends. For a lot of guns, boresnakes are just plain better. I have no idea how people manage to...

Battery life battery life battery life. If you're getting a red dot, this is the most important characteristic. Nothing else matters if shoulder the gun and you've suddenly got no reticle.

One minor caveat with a non-magnified optic if you have a fixed front sight is that the front sight will be distracting (ie, you'll see double front sights when you focus on the dot). Keep in mind that it doesn't actual detract from the usefulness at all.

Bushnell TRS-25 is the best for under 100. Ridiculous battery life for the price (3k hours), tough, reliable, holds zero even mounted on my saiga 12 gas tube shooting slugs. I currently use it on my suppressed Ruger MK3. I accidentally left it turned on for several weeks in a row and it was...

Actually, that's a good idea. I forgot about that. But fundamentally, there are better options out there than suppressing a krink, especially one that is just a vanilla configuration standalone gun that you've already built. Keep in mind that the vast majority of them are not going to have...

I looked into this like 10 years ago and eventually gave up trying to make a silent AK. I settled on an integrally suppressed 45 caliber AR-15. Ironically the supersonic projectiles aren't the main problem. AKs tend to throw a low of pressure out the gas port and the front end of the gas...

I didn't realize the new walther was threaded. Still, it's a bit larger than I'd hoped for. I am ok with the beretta sights being covered since I already have a suppressed guns for shooting at longer ranges. How does that guy thread your barrel? Just cut threads into the stock piece? How hard...

I've also heard awful things about them as well, which is why I'm asking here instead of calling them.

I have an AAC Element 2 mounted on a Ruger MK target 5.5". It's very accurate and quiet, but it's a bit bigger than I would like in certain situations. I'm looking for something in the size range of the Walther TPH, Beretta Bobcat 21 or the Taurus PT-22. The catch is that is has to be...

There's no shortgage of gemtech owners who will recommend against getting them. They're just noticeably worse than everything in the top tier of suppressors. On top of being non-serviceable unless you ship it back to the factory. I recommend the cans I've bought for the same reason I bought...

You can often get much better deals from C3 dealer than from the manufacturers themselves. I got my element for a bunch less than MSRP and I'm toying with the idea of picking up a 762SD (can't remember the full name) for about 200 under MSRP from a local dealer. Once you've figured out what...
