Thanks! I'm just getting started with it and I intend to get better yet. I have that other 200 rounds to go through this weekend and no I am doing all kinds of mental maths to figure out on how to get much larger quantities of 357 as soon as possible. On that note: The recoil of .357 loads...

7 shots Moonclips

Rather than start a new thread I just re-titled this one. A new title for a new start eh? Anyway since my newly repaired S&W has performed to my satisfaction I went ahead and ordered a basic but nice holster from 1791 Gunleather and those VZ grips I had been talking about. And also since it...

Now it is time for a LOOOOONG overdue range report. Holy Frjioles is this ever overdue! I had a very bad attitude brewing as I headed to the range for a test firing after finally getting this thing back. I purchased a 50 round box of Armscor 158gr FMJ .357 Magnums and a 50 round box of PMC...

@S&W Fan Finally got it back today. Picked up some additional. 38 and .357 just for testing which I will be doing forthwith.

It did

.......... I don't understand?

I don't. That's why I asked. I hope they do. I hope everyone on the Rez has military grade hardware. I think they should invade Albany

I've always wondered: do federal laws apply? Or can you just straight have a belt fed machine gun on the Rez?

The Zastava imports are probably the best option for a traditional AK, domestic AK production quality is a bit spotty. If price is not a consideration however I of course recommend any of the Galil Ace models. The quality and performance is unequaled among Kalashnikovs and they are represent a...

I purchased 200 rounds to test out. Maybe I'll even get a block of sim test medium too, though it's quite expensive. I even got a further 200 rounds of .357 magnum so I get the free shipping for orders over $200. And on the off chance S&W ever gets my revolver back to me. In working order...

Namely do we think it would have decent performance from an 8.3" barrel out to 50 yards? I'm looking to bolster my dwindling supply of 64gr .223 Gold Dots as any of the .223 Gold Dots seem to be impossible to get for the last 2 years. Are they discontinued? SG Ammo is selling the PDX1s at a...

I'd say a proper, unmolested AR is in order and then a quantity of proper capacity magazines. The new Magpul TMag has recently started shipping, perhaps keep an eye out and get a few whenever they are in stock. Maybe buy a case or two of ammo if only to relish in having it shipped straight to...

I did ask as to at what point do these delays constitute theft of my property.

So I spent the last 2 hours haranguing S&W customer service. Each rep would eventually hang up after I refused to. One rep hung on for nearly 30 minutes straight which eventually devolved into a circular argument along tge lines of : "I don't know what to tell you sir" "Tell me my gun has been...

No

That'll hasn't been my experience. It takes time but if you are persistent someone will EVENTUALLY resolve your issue. It can take 8 hours or more though.

Rate cuts are not what we need. Cheap money has destroyed our economy, what we need are massive cuts to government spending with attendant massive cuts to taxes. Interests rates SHOULD be somewhat high to discourage frivolous spending and investment in risky, unsound ventures. What we need...

You have completely missed the point of the exercise which is not to punish customer service reps but to harass them to the point where they kick you up the chain until you come to the person that actually has the authority to correct the situation. CSRs are otherwise trained to resist moving...

Corporations are run by extremely shortsighted Corpos fresh from the MBA college mill. All they know how to do is maximize short term profit by cutting costs to the absolute minimum. They have no tgought whatsoever to the long term effects of diminished quality on long term sales. They don't...

If it is not fixed to my satisfaction I will make life miserable for their customer service department by harassing them daily via phone and emails. There are several entities on various social media outlets that specialize in creating PR disasters for corporations that I will will get in...

I have, they fixed it or so they claim and are sending back. I asked for a fiber optic front sight to be put on as compensation for my inconvenience and after 6 weeks weeks of delay I finally was told that all custom work (like replacing sights) has a 6-9 month wait time. I told customer...

Two S&W revolvers in a row having to immediately be returned to S&W for repair and a 6-9. MONTH backlog on performance center work has me disagreeing with you. Short sighted boomer business policy of maximizing short term profit by sacrificing quality has taken its toll.

Got a call from my ever helpful LGS that S&W will be shipping my ostensibly repaired revolver back to them very shortly so I should be able to report on its status aoon

That reminds me of how we used to hear MREs in the exhaust pipe of out HEMTTs. The outlet tip had a 90 bend, facing up, just before where it terminated and MRE pouches would sit in the pipe. When they'd been in there long enough you choose the go pedal and out they'd pop.

Buying votes with tax cuts is fair and honest. Limited taxation is what tge founding fathers wanted in the first place. There shouldn't be ANY personal income tax to begin with.

"I'm only a dolphin mam" "A DOLPHIN?!........well okay"

I figured our what was going on. Seems like they had it repaired in short order bur what I have been waiting on was that I asked for a fiber optic front post to be put on for my trouble. Performance Center work is on a 6 month backlog right now so I said to forget replacing the front sight and...

It for the entire transportation industry, I was talking to a river barge guy and it's the same for them too. Industry lobbyists successfully petitioned the government based on the notion it was too difficult to define what on duty vs off duty hours were since the worker is present with the...

What about people that work over 40 hours but don't get 1.5x pay for OT? Like us workers in the transportation industry. Truckers work more hours than anybody. Trump could give us back our per diem deductions that he took away. Or he could shit can the personal income tax altogether as it...

I might not be enjoying my revolver but at least I am getting good use out of my hobo knife. I don't bother packing a spoon in my lunch anymore . I just use the hobo knife I keep in the truck.

They still have the motherfucker. 6-8 weeks they keep telling me. All so some mouth breathing idiot millennial faggot can sit there and make like the chimpanzees in the intro to 2001 Space Oddessy and pretend to, but not actually, fix it.

Imagine this then: 20" target build based largely around JP Enterprises parts including receiver set and barrel and BCG, LaRue MBT trigger (for $80-$90 I see no reason not to) an extended Delta style handguard from PRI, with riser bridge, and a Magpul PRS stock. The "Bench Pig". Although...

To be honest if I were to put together a 20" it would actually probably be a bench gun for target work. Some bull barreled lead hippo of a gun with the sole purpose of making tiny little ragged holes on paper. To be clear this is all just another one of my thought exercises, any gun money I...

On a side note I spec a 5.56 chambering simply because that is the common and cost effective option. However given this would be a lower volume shooter perhaps a more expensive and more suitable caliber is called for? The .224 Valkyrie would be a good fit but I have heard that cartridge is...

Receiver sets such as the Balios are not skeletonized. Such receivers often have extensive milling to remove as much material as practical while remaining "whole" I guess you could say or they may use exotic lightweight alloys to reduce weight. In either case however the cost is high. Here is...

Mostly I have been thinking about what a fully modernized, non retro, full sized AR15 would look like and what it would be good for. My thoughts thus far are that such a rifle would be optimized for outdoor use over open country. As always I think keeping the weight down as much as practical is...

For a few months now I have been day dreaming on a particular AR Build, what I would call an Outdoor Patrol Rifle. I have been musing on what role the traditional 20" rifle length AR m8ght still have these days and my theory is that if we rule out vehicle and indoor scenarios the 20" becomes...

I don't suppose these concerns would extend to semi jacketed ammo such as the Remington SJHP? I'd wager not since the bearing surface is on the copper jacket, but there is a lot of exposed lead nevertheless. At the moment the Remington SJHPs seem to be among the cheapest full house .357...

I dunno know now. Been looking at some laminate wood versions of what you have on your gun and I'll debate between the two while I wait on the L-Comp's return.

The customer service rep we originally talked to tried giving me some nonsense about 38s needing moon clips to work but 357s wouldn't need them. The idiocy of that statement left me with no confidence that S&W will get this right. How fucking stupid can one be? That said if they do get this...

Does your gun run .38s 100% without moon clips?

I wouldn't think it would ve a problem for the L-Comp, as you correctly stat the portion of tge barrel forward of the comp is untitled and the port itself is likely to large to become significantly fouled to begin with. There aren't any warnings against it in the S&W manual. You also have a 586...

BAM! HOBO KNIVES! Got em as a bundle off Amazon for $12. One goes into my truck the other I'll keep with the rest of my preps.

My local Walmart has *no* hobo knives for sale. I will have to order off Amazon I suppose.

Gol-Dingut! For the second night in a row I forgot to pack a spoon for my pudding cup! I absolutely will, when I go grocery shopping at Walmart this morning, go over to the camping section and purchase a hobo knife to keep in my truck. My big truck, the work truck as in 18 wheeler. Anything...

I didn't know people referred to those as "hobo knives" but I like it! As I sit here in Zanesville OH on my lunch break with a pudding cup in hand and having once again forgotten to pack a spoon in my bag I'm thinking I should throw a hobo knife into the overhead bin of the Freightliner too.

I've read it's something in the neighborhood of 20%

This administration hasn't been fooling ANYBODY. Even leftists know any reports regarding this economy are bullshit they just can't admit it.
