I may have said this before, but it turns out I hate the scout concept. I've never found a long eye relief scope I really liked. I'd also rather have a semi for that role. I believe I am capable of not expending all my ammo like an idiot. However, I really do like the rifle. Light weight...

Can't really participate in the video game discussion, though I find it interesting. But I can contribute this:

Wrote this post for another forum and an oft-tread discussion on shotguns. Part II is just the end results, or a bunch of pictures of cardboard with holes in it. Figured it had been a while since I was on NMA, and some folks might like to see a shorty shotgun: ** PART 1: PREPARATION...

They are certainly interesting. Don't know how they are being marketed over there. Over here, my understanding is that you get the baffle stack welded to the short barrel to bring it to legal length, but the tube requires registration. I think it is a fascinating, if mildly unwieldy, way to...

So one of my many stamps in progress is for a 9mm shorty AR. In the inter-medium, I put on dedicated pistol buffer tube. This thing is genius in a couple of ways, in that it is internally the exact same size as carbine tube, but doesn't require a castle nut and is externally too big to put a...

I'm right there with you. There are a few odds and ends I'd like to pick up still (Knight's E3 LPR, LWRC SPR) but not at current pricing. I flirted with the idea of a Tavor just to have a bullpup, but the ones that are readily available are way overpriced. I've also got seven stamps in the...

Finally got around to swapping uppers on my BCM Kino. Before: After: Now I can return my removable carry handle to it's original function: aligning A3 uppers with rails during install.

I live on the Colorado side of the border. Been up to Cheyenne any number of times, Casper a couple times for work. Pretty country. I haven't met anyone from this forum, but I have met a lot of folks from others I frequent. Some have proven to be pretty cool. Some seem like they...

My Grandmother used to take me to the Enchanted Forest outside of Baltimore when I was a kid. It was creepy before it was abandoned, too.

This may well be the least used gun in my collection, but I do indeed own one: Nothing special. A cheap-ish Century import of what I believe is a Yugoslavian gun. 7.62x39. I know next to nothing about AKs in general, and not much more about this one in specific. I haven't shot it in a...

There is also a pretty active secondary market for 02 SOTs who will buy department cast-offs and strip them for parts to build look-alikes on civilian receivers.

Wasn't samples, and unfortunately, that's not the way post sample transfer works. They found another agency to sell them to. We brokered the transfer, as well as the purchase of the M4s. They went with the most competitive vendor, which is not the one we recommended, but that is another story...

I think the ergonomics take some getting used to, it is very controllable, works better than I thought it would with it's complicated magazine, and seems pretty decent. I would own one but for the fact that it shoots dollar bills and there is effectively a single source of ammo, that being FN...

I just don't see the charm. It's certainly not revolutionary. It's just a .22lr, blow-back operated pistol in a clunky, ergonomically unfriendly case. You can mount it to a stock or a rifle in our country, assuming you have registered the pistol as a Short Barreled Rifle. So another $200 and...

They already are, no excuses required. Here is one of mine: My other one gets here in about two weeks. (SR25 w/ matching Mk 11 Mod O)

Quick and dirty, but I thought you'd appreciate it. Also, I seem to have accumulated three single action Sigs with external safeties. I'm not quite sure how I managed that.

Been out for work for a little while, and then wrapped up in some unsuccessful lobbying for some state issues that ate up my free time. This week is birthday week in the Ego household, with the wife's yesterday, the daughter's today, and the son's on Monday. It hasn't been easy to combine...

Nope. If it is a registered machine gun, it can have any barrel length you want. Things get a little complicated with the AR15 when you are dealing with a Lightning Link or DIAS. Whatever they are installed in becomes the machine gun, and can have F/A control parts, sub 16" barrel length...

SuA: I admire your persistence in legally building an impressive collection in a highly controlled state. When something is just difficult enough, a lot of folks give up. It isn't a law/privilege/right if nobody exercises it. You've got my respect. Back to some photos. This is a mock-up...

My first thought was that this is like comparing apples to typewriters. Not wild about the new thread title. I felt like the old one helped screen out some of the politics. But life moves on.
