The Gun thread

He almost got doored. :p That's also less a 'gun safety' thing and more an 'explosives safety' thing. :p

As for the rifle: http://www.drdtactical.com/rifles.html Looks like they licensed the Magpul Masada/Bushmaster ACR folding stock for it.

Unfortunately, it sounds like it's bringing some of the worst features of the AR and the FAL to the party. It's direct impingement and it has the metric FAL's non-folding charging handle but without the forward assist function of the Israeli variant that excuses it. Does have the AK/Paratrooper FAL recoil spring instead of the buffer tube and related spring, which is nice. Doesn't seem to shoot much better than some Para FALs, either.


In other news - If anyone is looking for an Aimpoint, be advised that any CompM2 (aka the military?s M68 model) that actually has ?Made In Sweden? printed on the side below the ?CompM2? and serial number is actually stolen US military equipment and if bought on eBay or the larger public gun forums WILL net you a CIS/Fed visit. Civilian models have ?CompM2 4MOA? followed by ?10336? and the serial number printed on the side and differ in no other way. There are a LOT of these out there cheap right now.

Likewise any new in package/unissued Knights? Armament Corp/KAC BUIS units with ?USMC? marked on them. Despite what some may say, the USMC would really like to talk to the person that made off with so many and dumped what appears to be thousands of them on the open market so they?re investigating those bought in the larger venues.

Sadly, they have a point. Unlike police in the USA, Indian police are easily bribed by money and ministers and have a severe "two faced" attitude when it comes to law enforcement. India being a huge democracy has many leaps and bounds before issues like these can be resolved.

Just like in the USA, the police in India won't protect you...

Not to mention that there are entire districts of some cities in the US that the police simply will not go into, and that sometimes the police just don't show up in time - or show up at all.

There's also a case in Chicago where the cops apparently decided to blow off a homicide call and instead went for burgers.

There's endless reasons why the phrase "dial 911 and die" entered popular use. And why there's a book of the same name where the authors discuss exactly this problem.

Having already gone through one event where the police didn't even bother answering 911 calls and didn't come back for most of a week (92 LA Riots), I know damn well that I cannot count on the police anywhere to protect me at any time. Anyone claiming otherwise is just a damn liar.

Which is just the latest in about 200 years of decisions that all say the same thing - the police in the US have no duty to even show up when you send or call for them. The only duty they have is to take a report and investigate after the fact.
 
Apparently John Noveske died last night. http://pdxtraffic.blogspot.com/2013/01/fatal-traffic-crash-highway-260-west-of.html

News Release from: Oregon State Police
FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 260 WEST OF GRANTS PASS
Posted: January 5th, 2013 9:23 AM

Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday night's single vehicle fatal traffic crash along Highway 260 (Lower River Road) west of Grants Pass that resulted in the death of a Grants Pass man.

According to Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected.

NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was not using safety restraints and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

OSP troopers from the Grants Pass and Central Point offices are continuing the investigation. Trooper Ryan Neuenschwander is the lead investigator.

OSP was assisted at the scene by Rural Metro Fire Department, ODOT and AMR ambulance. No photographs for release.

Made a bit of an impulse buy this morning.





 
^He's the only guy I know who can buy a gun from the comforts of his own bed before the first piss of the day.

So... safes are really like garages. You always end up filling it and needing a bigger one.

Which reminds me... how feasible/easy would it be to build a walk-in vault in the basement of a home?

I was window shopping some homes here in town, I found a house with walk-in vault downstairs in the basement. :drool:

Now to convert the same house's stupid indoor sauna/steam room into a walk-in humidor would be even more fantastic... though that's for another thread. :p
 
I just love that you guys can go and buy one on a whim, I'd have to blow the mayor and the comissioner before I can think of getting even a shotgun.

I feel your pain.



And I would pay something like USD3,000.

Not terribly difficult, you'd call in a firm that specializes in things like panic rooms and storm shelters.

This is why FN Herstal of Belgium keeps having to move firearms design, development and production to the US now. Blind's new FNP-45 wasn't designed in Belgium, and all the Belgian-designed FNs keep falling flat on their faces in the world market.
 
there's a reason why belgian police uses Smith en Wesson...

making something in a country where there is no market at all makes no sense if you ask me
you can have FN, we don't need it :D
 
Can we stop this marginally political discussion or move it to another thread?
