Smokey, You said: "I still don't see how he can effectively shoot a burglar in his house, with a .308 Win/7.62 NATO,..." I'm trying to give HBK his options based on his parameters. And keep in mind that under the category of defense, HBK did say that it would range from burglar to...

HBK, Let me take a stab at a reply based on the information you've given so far. You want a rifle that will serve the self defense function ranging from burglar to PHTF. So we're talking about a magazine-fed rifle, the magazines for which will hold at least 20 rounds each. You want a...

How many minutes is an acceptable commute for you? If you think about NoVa, take a careful look at the traffic! You're either going to pay a lot for a house close in to a job or get one for a little less farther out and make up the difference in commuting costs. There are enough pistol...

I dunno, I own an M1A and have owned an AR. The theory, so I've heard, is that the brain automatically puts the tip of the front post in the center of the rear peep ring. That may be so, but I've found something that works much better for me under rapid fire (not automatic fire), which is the...

Isn't any firearm transaction recorded on a Form 4473 technically "registered"? At one point during the DC beltway shooter (Muhammed and Malvo) incidents, law enforcement agencies were going to area gun shops (FFL holders) and sifting through their Forms 4473 for people who owned rifles in...

What I've found useful is to have as many concealed carry options as possible. So, I have an undershirt-type holster, a Miami Vice-style shoulder holster, an inside-the-waistband holster, a fanny pack holster, a small-of-the-back sport holster, a belly band holster, Thunderwear, and I've even...

I'd like to see America's fourth president, Richard Henry Lee, come back to life for his views on the owning and carrying of military arms by civilian citizens, although he served from 1784 to 1785 before the 2nd Amendment was written. “To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole...

You've ruled out what I would suggest, which is the M1A (in the scout configuration) and you've said you're on a budget, which rules out DSA FALs and JLD Enterprises' HK91 copies. On another board I've seen many more people complain about their CETMEs than those who love them. In a nutshell...

CZ 75 BD: Sure, but where do we put people like Morford?

Double tap to the chest...and one to the head if he's still moving in my direction.

So Joe, would you be willing to show this thread to your sister? I'd love to know what her reaction is. Minuteman

Bartholomew Roberts wrote: In the language of the late 18th Century, "reglated" as in "a well regulated militia..." referred to training, not laws. So a well regulated militia is one that is well trained and disciplined. If even one-third of America's adult males were armed, it really...

jonny, I am a member of a militia unit that uses the German "flectarn" or "fleck" camoflage pattern as its standard uniform. My first time out with them I was amazed at how well that pattern concealed them in that AO, which is mountainous, central eastern. I've seen other positive feedback...

I've read somewhere that rights are like muscles; if they're not exercised, they atrophy. Why is it that we're afraid of "hurthing the antis' feelings"? Are we afraid of having our rights taken away by Elmer? I've got news for you. Elmer cannot take away your rights. You have them; they...

I agree with Art that it won't take the observant by surprise. As for me, I don't believe in being a lone ranger. The militia group with which I train has plans for if the PHTF, the first step of which is to rendezvous at one of three designated places in our training AO. I've got two members...

I'm with Art...and Nike ("Just do it")

I agree with Penforhire: Once the adrenaline starts flowing, especially if you've never been in the kind of situation we're talking about, there's no telling how many rounds you'll fire. My carry gun is a .40 Glock 27, which is 9+1. I have a number of different CCW holsters that I use...

I voted for the last option. I wouldn't spend the extra money for a pre-ban. The only feature that I find really desireable is a flash suppressor, which I can get legally anyway on an M1A and a Daewoo DR200. Heck, you can have it on most post-ban rifles if you add a thumbhole stock. I don't...

Whether you should buy it or not depends on your intended purpose. Will this be a Main Battle Rifle, strictly a target rifle, a hunting rifle,...? As an MBR, the AR10 doesn't compare well at all with other .308 MBRs. For target shooting it's fine. My recommendation is, before you drop a...
