Anyone here into firearms?

SgtGoldy · 12-19-2012, 01:03 AM

So I've been drooling over the H&K 417 for awhile and I think I am about to break a build something like it. I have just heard a problem people seem to run into is feeding 7.62 rounds. Any thoughts?

I have plenty of 9mm, .40s&w, .45acp and 12 gauge. However I did just order 600rd of .223 Hornady & 400 of PMC.

In this environment, the consumer-grade ARs like the S&W's, Bushmasters, and RRA's are going to be hard or impossible to find.

I checked budsgunshop last night and they were literally out of every S&W AR

We're going to get our first idea of what they plan on shoving down our throats at 11:45 AM.

Do guns kill people? Pistol, shotgun, assault rifle put to the test - YouTube

I did note that Obama's exhortation on gun control focused on the sale of "assault" weapons and "high capacity" magazines. One other aspect worth noting is the concept of a Washington Task Force. I wonder how long it will take to get that organized enough to be effective. I'm sure this issue has juice right now. It will be interesting to see what happens as we pass beyond what is traditionally Americans' typically short attention span.

Well he did mention that this commission should provide recommendations before January 1, which he will heavily support. So my guess he's trying to be as quick and forceful about this as he can.

The NRA has already had to cave. Instead of outright opposing any new legislation they said they will work to support meaningful efforts to prevent violence... In other words they are trying to choose the bat with which they get beat.

If only every active gun owner in the US was a member of the NRA. We'd have some real clout. But at only 4 million strong there's a lot of bark but not much bite, IMO.

On the legislation front we may be saved by a Republican House... but it's still going to be tough.
