Misc Firearms Crew L: “Cogito, ergo sum armatus: I think, therefore I am armed.”

[jarryd2018]

Watched a special on suppressors on the outdoor channel last week. Supposedly the reason they first became regulated was during the great depression, the govt was worried people would use them to poach on farmers property and all since everyone was too poor to buy food and chit.
Also, fun little fact: The $200 tax stamp back then was a very nice down payment on a brand new vehicle. Be happy they haven't tried to increase the tax stamp price yet. Back then, they set the price that high so that it wasn't even a thought in anyone's mind to own one unless you were wealthy. Also, I believe they said the first suppressors were like $4 or some chit like that and was made by the son of the guy who invented the Maxim machine gun.

Edit: Also, the funny thing is, he invented it as a way to try to expand the sport. He thought it would be more appealing for people to shoot guns if they didn't make all the racket that they make. It wasn't because he was trying to make something "tactical" or anything like that.

I read most of that in unintended consequences. A lot of good info about the NFA in that book even though it's a fiction book.

[SpeedCheeser]

And these discussions are why I don't have an SBR. The whole process is asinine and retarded. **** the NFA.

srs I'd love one but that chit annoys me even thinking about it.


14.5" crew for life

So much this. I just want to buy a fukking gun to shoot. What the hell, man? I'm thinking I might make a pistol out of the Bert lower, just to avoid all of this crap. May one day want a suppressor though.

I'll say this:
I haven't found a round/mag combination that DOESN'T work with my 5" Baers.
I even made up some creampuff 3.1 gr. Clays loads with 200 gr. molycoated SWC, barely cycled the slide, still feed every one and i used for shooting actual clays off the berm at 55+ yards.

A 1911 that runs is a biuriful thing...

First 200 rounds of FMJ and the HST went fine with the wilson and tripp mags. Then I started using the other magazines.

2 premature lock backs with the metalform mags and S&B FMJ. FUUUUUUU.....


Most likely cuprit, besides dem mags:




Lil bastard sticking out too far and touching the rounds. Will file it a lil and see next time...


Picture of dirty bish:



Meh, 2 early lock backs out of 400+ rounds in 1.5 hours... Hopefully filing the slide stop lug a little will fix it. At least it's an easy fix.

The trigger guard high cut is freakin' awesome + the checkering helped me control the gun and sight tracking was pretty easy.

There were moments where I can see the sights lift and the brass ejecting in my peripheral in slow motion. BRB high speed focus, shooter's zen.

I don't remember shooting a 1911 this well.

I prefer shooting this one to my springfield PRO in fact, and it's less than half the price.

Gonna send it to someone good for:

Tritium sights
Shorter trigger, maybe a medium
2 extra extractors (wilson bullet proofs)
2 small radius firing pin stops (EGW or harrison's)
2 extra slide stops, (wilson bullet proofs)

In total, still half the price of most semi-customs and this should keep me going forever (til the barrel gets shot out or something).

Oh and 2 of the grip screws loosened. The 25 LPI checkering was beginning to bother my calluses towards the end. I cringe at doing the same with the PRO's 20 LPI meat grinders.

Getting bored with the stock market drama. Gunna check back mid-November.

brb predicting s&p500 2145 by Thanksgiving

simple solution, only invest in roth IRA and other companies which are not hype.

I personally am a believer in tobacco, because no matter what happens with tech industry, people will always be smoking cigarettes, especially in india and china where they view it as a social status thing.

buying bars of gold is probably a good idea too

So much this. I just want to buy a fukking gun to shoot. What the hell, man? I'm thinking I might make a pistol out of the Bert lower, just to avoid all of this crap. May one day want a suppressor though.

to be honest, there is only one NFA short barrel rifle that i really want, which is an uzi 9. nothing else seems so important that Id want to bother with NFA process. 16" ARs and AKs are just fine, as are 16" MP5 rifles. wouldnt want to bother with a short barrel .308 except with the G3 pistol I have, which is more of a novelty item than anything else.

i would love to own this though, simply because it looks so cool



but...

if i make it to a state which allows NFA items before dear leader completely bans them, il probably also get one of these too, simply because its so cool



although id really hae to think whether or not I want a collapsible A3 stock, or a plain jane fixed A2

[jarryd2018]

If my lifting schedule is push, pull, legs, off, repeat, but I took yesterday off and hit legs today, should I rest tomorrow or hit my push day and run with it and lift 4 days in a row?

If by train, you mean leg day, and by Louisville, you mean my garage, I think I get what you're saying.

So I guess I'm gonna roll with it. I'm in a surplus anyway so lifting is fun again.

MFC...I need your assistance. Just got into a huge fuking argument with family members over guns and why I like to have one with me. As you can imagine my family doesn't know too much about guns and think "they kill people". They're also the ones that think, "it's never happened before" or "it will never happen". Such a terrible mentality to have, seriously. I also brought up the topic of defending yourself against a rapist and they said that was a stupid reason to bring up rape. Are you fuking kidding me? That is THE reason to bring up rape.

Needless to say I am quite disappointed and upset that my family has such a weak mentality over guns and overall safety.

I'm now going to gather evidence of real life situations of people that have either saved themselves with guns or people that were killed or raped because they couldnt defend themselves. What are some good articles, stories, studies, videos, etc that I should stockpile to show? I'm googling and looking up YouTube videos but I figured you guys with know some good ones.
