The driver kept shooting even after the threat was not there anymore. The guy shot had turned and fell forward.
It is hard to say but it seems his intention was to terminate the attacker completely.
And yes the guy who came with the club swinging was an attacker.
In NYS he would be sent to...
you are right. I guess there will be scenarios.
If we are moving and since we have limited weight capabilities ( We are humans, lets say we have to walk 200 miles to our destination and lets also say large scale chit like mentioned above)
we will have to make hard choices on what we are going...
Perhaps in certain environments like jungles or impenetrable places but as soon as there is someone after you and specially an sky above you,
you are done. I guess it depends on what shtf means for you and and if you are part of, and in communication with, an army that has the air supremacy.
Or...
I don't like pistols for collection. I see them as tools.
But if I had to choose one for show and tell, I think it would be nice to have one of those Cabot's meteorite iron 1911...
I think most people will resist to organize beyond a close circle like family, neighbors or best friends.
Isn't the large umbrella already there? Oathkeepers seem to work really well in emergency situations.
They have people with the training and the experience that is the hardest thing to acquire.
Are you guys planned to be on a fight?
100% of the people survive the fights they avoid.
I think the main goal is to get away from any trouble and thrive where others have trouble or cannot even survive.
which scenario is it? home and public are two different scenarios. Even in public might have more than one scenario
like a very small pistol I have for tuxedo parties doesn't have the same passive safety features as a glock.
At home I have quick access to a shotgun when in my bedroom that is #2...
I know but here we have an opportunity to get a remington 700 action like never before.
They have taken all the things Rem700 customers all over have been asking for in the last few decades and delivered
that in an affordable package. This platform leaves the factory SPS in the dust at...
All trump has to do is to keep his big mouth shut and have someone screening him (maybe his son) to avoid the emotional senseless comments.
I support trump because we will be less screwed with him.
I can tell you one reason why people go to firearms forums and why many good members were lost on the other side even before the whole unSAFE act fiasco:
TO TALK ABOUT FIREARMS RELATED SUBJECTS!
So if you have a gun forum in your domain name they will come to talk about that and stick to it...
The 7mm/08 is a popular caliber but perhaps still the most overlooked. It offers the perfect balance between power and ballistics.
Ballistically superior to the 260 and the 308 itself it can be loaded with tips from 100gr to 168gr/175gr.
And it runs perfect on the AR10/dpms!!!
For the 270/6.8...
I think there are several things that can be grouped together in subgroups.
I am specially interesting in Reloading, Wildcats, Gunsmithin / DIY, Ballistics, hunting, Outdoors/Survival.
I think the knifes will go very well with Outdoors / Survival. Perhaps hunting, fishing and survival all...
Of course there is nothing wrong with a used press. Some old ones are even better than some of the modern junk they sell.
Beware of gun shows. some smart guys want to sell the junk for the rpice of a new one. Las time I got a RCBS piggyback the guy wanted 140 I took it home for $80.
No case...
Thanks for the nice presentation. I was over there from the beginning but then moved on due to lack of interest and after key members had fled. The rest you know what happened long before the whole thing went down the drain.
The nice thing is we have great experiences and some good friends some...
ok.
I am not familiar with the ruger or mount bu tconsider bedding the scope base. 30-06 puts a lot of torque.
A simple kydex might work but some folks like something soft like a pad or neoprene or some rubber something to really embrace the rifle.
Try a mock up and then decide. The hockey tape...
There are lists like these all over the web. I guess it also depends on where one lives, weather, where one needs to do according to plan, and such.
I like to think in terms of small and light that can have many uses.
I would add in order of importance:
......
1 - An emergency supply of...
AK user: oh, you have to clean your firearms?
I guess this is arbitrary and relative to what firearms.
Some firearms run better dirty.
Over cleaning can also harm firearms.
Like dsmmat stated, you can make it very efficient with anything from hockey tape to top a top dollar cover.
I guess it depends on what feels good to you and then if sthetics are important to you.
In the end you have to fit the rifle to your body complexity and not the other way around.
Normally...
These are the two main objetives of reloading:
A) Make a round precisely the same as the previous one (consistency).
B) Be Safe. Safety is the key. A pair of good eyes are hard to come by... or worse.
Some folks make the main objective cost reduction. That is ok as soon as we can always keep...
Yes. Thanks. There are many more.
The thing is with the calibers above 35 and 375 ballistics do not pay off. Too slow and too heavy to be efficient (in ballistics terms) and most times a PITA to make them feed from the same mags
even with 3 or 4 rounds at the time.
But if you like 30-06...
I am not sure why people are trying to make the AR10 to shoot magnums and other high maintenance rounds.
This is to discuss what is available, what is not being used and why many of the current options end up being more than anyone would need for any reasonable purpose.
This is a quick list of...
Anyone has one of these rifles?
I have been doing some online research and they look great.
Initially the rifle seems very nice for the price point that is around $640-700 at the store for the hunter model and when looking closely at
what you get it is becoming more obvious this is a must...
There is no much to reloading but it must be done by the book. Step by step.
The biggest PITA is careful brass preparation if you want results. For pistol is not so critical.
First read and watch some videos. A single stage press must be the place to start and add equipment gradually.
There is...
Nice to see a new forum up.
These are the things I really enjoy:
- Long Guns
- Ballistics
- Wildcats
- Gunsmithing / special purpose applications
- Training
Don't let this forum cross to the dark side!
