  1. My father was in the US Army from 1934-1956. He was a tank commander in WW2. He liked the Thompson, which were supplied to the tanks (Model 1928s at first). As much as he liked the Thompson, it was his opinion that the M3/M3A1 was a better gun for the purpose.

  2. The still-to-come decision on W. Virginia v. EPA (probably Monday) is going to address the ability of government agencies (like the ATF) to make regulations going beyond what the statutes cover. I think there is more winning to come!

  5. "Grandfather of the AK?" Sounds like appropriation of culture to me. 😜 Seriously though...My father met with Soviet soldiers at the end of the war on the Elbe river near Dassau, Germany. They all inspected (and even did some casual target practice) with each other's weapons and the Soviets really liked the M1 rifle and M1 carbine. They were also impressed that so many US soldiers carried handguns, which was not the case in the Soviet Army and that they were "huge" .45 ACP pistols (compared to their 7.62mm pistols)

  7. And as I always say...there is NO SUCH THING as "Constitutional Carry", only "permitless carry with various state imposed infringements" Oddly, Missouri still requires you to be 19 years old (WTF? 19?!?!?) to carry without a permit. Better than some states like GA and AZ and many others that require you to be 21.

  8.  @nobodyherepal3292  Well, during that time period, yes. My father never went to Korea. After WW2 he was an instructor at Ft. Hood and Ft. Knox (where I was born) until he retired in 1956. He trained a lot of people who went to Korea. He began in the "Tank Corps" in the 1930s, was assigned to the 2nd Armored Div. when it was formed in 1940, went to North Africa and Sicily, then went to England where he was assigned to the 3rd Armored Division. He then fought with the 3rd AD (Spearhead) in Europe. He served in the occupation force until November, 1945 when the 3rd Armored was deactivated and he was back to the 2nd Armored at Ft. Hood. In 1947 he was again assigned to the re-activated 3rd Armored Division, headquartered at Ft. Knox. Throughout the Korean War, 3rd Armored was a "training division". 3rd Armored was reactivated as a "combat division" in 1955 and rotated in and out of Germany during the Cold War. Elvis Presley was in the 3rd Armored and would have been trained by my father, but he came 2 years after my father retired. The 3rd Armored was again deactivated in 1992 after participating in "Desert Storm". The 1st Battalion, 33rd Armored Regiment my father was in in Europe and after WW2, is still active. Renamed the 1st Squadron, 33rd Cavalry Regiment in 2005, it is part of the "rapid deployment force" of the 101st Airborne Division.

  9.  @Lurch4539  I am not implying anything. I said directly what it is. NO STATE has "Constitutional Carry". None. (Vermont come close, but no cigar) 27 states have "permitless carry" with infringements. The infringements range from where you can carry, to how old you must be to carry to how you can carry. Where do you find the restriction on age in the 2A? Where do you find the restriction on public transportation in the 2A? Where do you find the part that says "You have a right to keep and bear arms IF the state legislature passing a law allowing you to bear arms"? Where do you find to part that says it applies only to residents of that state? Where is the part in the 2A that says some states can have an age limit of 18, some can have an age limit of 21 and Missouri can have an age limit of...19? Where does it say states can have an age limit of 21 unless you are active duty military and then it is age 18? Where do I find all of that in the Constitution? If a legislature "granted it" by law and a Governor signed it, it is NOT "Constitutional" Debating which state's infringements on permitless carry are better than other state's infringements is STUPID.

  10. Especially if there is a 2-1/2 year ammo shortage with ridiculous prices. I had more than that on hand before the shortage and made it through without reducing my shooting OR buying ammo at ridiculous prices. Now that prices are coming down, I am restocking when I hit sales. Lots of good sales right now!

  14. I have that exact same rifle in .30-06 which my father owned and handed down to me. I also have a later Remington Model 7600...basically the same, but with a 4 lug rotating bolt instead of the 9 lug bolt on the Model 760. My Model 7600 is chambered in .35 Whelen. All Remington Model 760s in .30-06 had a 1 in 10" RH rifling twist. Every .30-06 rifle I have ever seen, of any make, and I have many in every action type, have 1 in 10" rifling twist. FWIW, the Model 760 (or 7600) are fantastic hunting rifles and were extremely popular in Pennsylvania because, at the time, PA did not allow autoloading rifles for deer hunting. The Model 760 had the nickname: "The Amish Autoloader." In 1968, Remington changed the method of attachment of the forend and this gave the rifle a completely free floated barrel (the example you are showing, Brandon, is the pre-68 version) The rifles were noted for being extremely accurate. Both of the rifles I have are sub-MOA for 3 shot groups @ 100 yds.

  16. I'm pretty sure dozens of Ukrainians have already done the AK-50, built them in tire shops around their country. Probably mounted a few to vehicles, and maybe even drones. I bet if you volunteered they would give you one to use. You could test it on moving targets, too.

  17. A friend of mine owns an original MG42 with three barrels. One of the barrels is chambered in 7.62mm...so I guess when he uses that barrel it's an MG3 Damn things fire SO fast. Hard to afford the ammo to feed that beast.

  19. 1. Please explain, Joe Rogan, how is it possible to fire a bullet (that bullet has clearly been fired through a rifled bore) and "never hit a goddamned thing"? The bullet HAS TO have hit SOMEthing. Even if fired in the air, the bullet will hit the ground when it comes back earth. Unless the bullet is launched into earth orbit, in which case you would not have the bullet to examine, it MUST HAVE hit something. 2. Full metal jacket bullets often look as though they are not deformed after penetrating an animal, for example. Bullets specifically designed for deep penetration, such as dangerous game bullets, may appear undeformed even after penetrating several feet of a cape buffalo, rhinoceros or elephant. Usually you can measure deformation, even if it is not obviously visible. 3. Water, even in itself, is NOT a "soft target". A soft target would be snow, fiberglass insulation batts, or cotton or polyester "batting", like pillow stuffing. When firing a bullet and NOT trying to deform the bullet, that's what you would use. You would need a LOT of it to stop a bullet. If the bullet in question was "planted", as some suggest, why would they try to plant a bullet that appears undeformed for Joe Rogan to question 58 years later? 4. I am guessing JFK had some pretty creative places to hide the condoms he always carried. My theory is...we do not know what actually happened that day and cannot know what actually happened with the information we currently have. When all the information is released then maybe we will be able to get a better idea. Trying to "solve" a mystery when you KNOW that you do not have all the information necessary is foolish. Even for Joe Rogan.

  22.  @sanguinius1284  No. It's an alphabet developed by Byzantine theologians Cyril and Methodius who devised a letter for each sound in Slavic languages. Bulgarian was the first language to use it. It is used by many Slavic languages, not just Russian. It uses letters from the Greek and Roman alphabets, and some of it's own. Unlike English which combines letters to make sounds, Cyrillic, in theory, has a separate letter for each sound. For example "Ч" for the "ch" sound "Ш" for the "sh" sound. There are 44 letters in the alphabet. Russian uses 34 of them. (including "hard" and "soft" signs) Ukrainian uses 35, but drops 1 that Russian uses and adds 2 that Russian doesn't use. Therefor, there are actually several Cyrillic alphabets for different languages...so The Russian alphabet IS Cyrillic, but not all Cyrillic is Russian. The giveaway is the letters used. And, of course, the words. In practice this has been corrupted a bit since Russians adopted words from other languages and didn't necessarily have the correct letter for a sound not found in Slavic languages. For instance, the is no "J" (as in Jack) sound in Russian, so they usually substitute a "Y" such as the name "Yulia" instead of "Julia" or an "Ee-oh" such as "Ee oh sef" instead of "Joseph". Some Slavic languages have "converted" or transliterated to the Roman alphabet.

  26. I have one of those also. It is in my "Tuxedo gun" rotation for formal occasions. A very delightful handgun to carry. Very slim. The dimensions just seem to be perfect. I also have a Browning Model 1955 .380 (same as the FN M1910) that is equally great. But they are a little heavy (for a .32 and .380) by today's standards and the finish is not durable enough to be sweating all over them every day. I would love to see a polymer frame, durable finish exact copy of it though!

  41. I have been carrying concealed every day for some 45+ years. Initially as a police officer/off duty and now as a retired licensed citizen. For a time later in my career, when working with an international agency, I was assigned to parts of the former Soviet Union, in an officially "unarmed" capacity. Specifically, in Russia and Ukraine. I do not suggest anyone smuggle a firearm into foreign countries as it probably won't end well, but acquiring a handgun in countries which are pervasively corrupt is not difficult. Doing so in the former Soviet Union will invariably result in...you guessed it...a Makarov. Who'da thunk it? That said, given a choice, there are better, lighter, cheaper and more durably finished guns on the market for CC in the USA. The Makarov worked well for me for 2 years in a concealed carry role (did I say that out loud? Concealed has a meaning, doesn't it?). When I returned, I left it there, in good hands. I don't miss it.

  45. Veprs were actually banned for import by anti-gun President Obama. "I-support-the-2A-Trump" could have lifted the ban, which did NOTHING to help Ukraine, on January 20, 2017...but instead the "I-support-the-2A" TRUMP government EXPANDED the ban on Russian firearms imports in June, 2017. Y'know, the same "I- support-the-2A" TRUMP that banned bumpstocks later in 2017 and went all-in with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) for red flag laws in 2018. He has since enhanced his resume with more than 50 federal felony charges (state and federal) and doubled down on his support of bans and red flag laws, recently saying "it was the right thing to do" on the CNN Town Hall. We do not need to support 2A imposters!

  50.  @Joshua_N-A  My father was an NCO. Tank commander/platoon Sergeant. Yes, in general they are limited to NCOs/officers AND tank crew, aircrew. In the Red Army, NCOs were not issued handguns. Although in wartime, not everything goes as planned. The US Army has always issued a large number of handguns compared to those issued by other armies.

  54. We also need to support a candidate for President in 2024 that DOES NOT have a record of banning bumpstocks and supporting Red Flag laws. We need to "primary them out" also. Just sayin'. You won't have to worry about Kamala Harris breaking a tie in the Senate on the pistol brace bill. Before the bill can even be debated in the Senate, it needs to get 60 votes to advance to a floor debate and vote. If, by some miracle, it passed the Senate, Biden would veto it and there is no way there is a 2/3 majority in either chamber to override. Most likely, it will be assigned to the Judiciary Committee where the chairman, Senator Durbin (D-IL) will throw it in a black hole. Gunowners need to remember that ANY federal firearms legislation, good or bad, for the next two years has -0- chance of passing. The current makeup of Congress is a slam dunk gridlock for ANY firearms legislation. This is why Biden is using Executive Orders instead of legislation. ANY AND ALL such legislation, good or bad, is political theater. We also need to remember that it is VERY EASY for politicians to support a bill they KNOW has -0- chance of passing.

  57. T-34/85. Didn't come into play until early 1944. It was not present at the biggest tank battle of the eastern front, Kursk, in July/August, 1943. You should make a trip to the former Soviet Union. I lived and worked there for 7 years. I can highly recommend any of the museums or memorials. Hard to say which is best. My favorites are the History Museum in Kharkiv, Babi Yar Ravine in Kiev (Kyiv) and the "Memorial of Glory" in Kharkiv. Kharkiv was fought over three times and finally liberated as a by-product of the battle of Kursk on August 23, 1943. More than 274,000 people, just in that city, were killed. More than ALL Americans killed in the European theater...in ONE city! The Memorial is a beautiful park, which is also a mass grave. Very sobering. Lots of T34/76s and T34/85s parked all over. I tell my Ukrainian wife that I don't think they scrapped ANY of their tanks, they just parked them all around the cities as monuments. The T34/85 was in use until the 1960s in many countries. FYI...Cyrillic is easy to learn. I think it took me about 2 hours of my first day of Russian class to nail it down. Get a chart or some flash cards. You'll know it in no time.

  59. NO! A subpoena is NOT a warrant. Subpoenas are NOT issued by judges, they are issued on the sole authority of an officer of the court. An attorney. Any and all subpoenas CAN BE challenged in court. I would expect a safe manufacturer to give the FBI a big 🖕and CHALLENEGE any subpoena even to the level of the Supreme Court. As you correctly stated, Brandon, the warrant is between the individual and the FBI. The warrant allows the FBI to search the safe, NO ONE else is required to give the FBI anything to affect that search UNLESS ordered by a court, and a subpoena is NOT a court order. If the owner of the safe does not comply with opening the safe, then the owner can be charged with obstruction. But NO ONE not named in the WARRANT needs to comply or cooperate with the FBI. At this point, 🖕Liberty Safe!

  61. I'm a boomer. "Over 60". So, yeah, I own 5 Model 1911s. All .45s, of course. The Hi-Power is for 9mm. I own 2 of those. My regular carry gun is a S&W Model 3914 DAO 9mm. 8 +1. My 2nd and 3rd choices are a S&W M642 .38 +P and a S&W M&P .380 Bodyguard. "Stopping power" as it applies to personal defense handguns means the ability to STOP someone from choosing YOU as their victim. If you are attacked and you shoot your assailant with a handgun (any handgun) and the assailant runs away...YOU WIN! Did you "stop" the assault? YES! But the age old .XX v .XX must go on. The only real questions is: "When you need a gun, are you going to bring your own or call 911 to have someone else bring one?"

  62. I think what you meant to say was: "PO8 Luger: Used by the losers in 2 World Wars." After losing the first world war, the Germans adopted a new pistol but the same cartridge that lost the last war. Did they really think a different pistol to shoot the same cartridge would help? In fact, no cartridge has been used in such quantity with such reliably unimpressive results as the 9mm Luger (parabellum, 9x19)

Every time I do, I am greeted with replies that I am a "traitor", "shill", "RINO" (and those are the NICE names I am called) It's even worse that you say, Brandon. Those 'other agencies', despite being bigger than the ATF, would say they need MORE personnel and $$$ to enforce the nations federal gun laws. (the Treasury Dept. did it before the ATF existed) Basically, the name on the building would change and the employees would all still work for the government doing the same thing in a new 'department'. We need to repeal or strike down in court, the NFA, GCA and Brady Act.

  68. Do I like this? NO!!! This is clearly a backdoor attempt to give it to gun owners in the "back door". It is a frustrated attempt by a failed regime to get what they can't get through legislation and/or litigation. Nothing will change in a year. That said: When a void exists in the supply of something there is a demand for, someone will fill that void. I expect other importers will soon grab their piece of the of the 22% of the pie lost by the Russians and even some of this will be made up for by domestic suppliers. For all those that ask "Why don't ammo factories just build more capacity?" THIS is why. When the shortage is over, we will all go back to buying cheap imported ammo and they will be left with unused factories. Maybe this will encourage further domestic ammo development. Other importers will jump in to fill the void of Russian ammo, even before it is all eliminated. They want to get their piece of that pie. Remember, that when Colt cut back, and even eliminated, AR15 sales to civilians, dozens, if not hundreds, of suppliers filled the void with the rifles we use today. Prices on the AR platform rifles dropped and supply increased. As long as we have capitalism (another topic for another day) there WILL be market solutions to supply problems

  69. The Ukrainians can build an AK 50 in a muffler shop. 🤔 They'll be disappointed using a shotgun against drones unless the drone is within 50 yards. Maximum. 7:06 Ukraine uses the same "Cross" on many of their vehicles as the Germans do. Sometimes it is the "open" cross as used in Germany and other times it is just a simple white cross. 4 Maxims is what happens when the Russians feed their soldiers to you in waves to be slaughtered.

  75. FWIW High Standard made some good shotguns. This is not one of them. I was a police officer for 36 years, retired in 2009. Most of our vehicles were equipped with Remington 870 or Ithaca Model 37 police shotguns with 18" or 20" barrels. The Ithaca was, by far, the better of the two. By the early 80s, the department had stopped buying the Ithacas and had gone to the Remington exclusively (for cost reasons). But there were hundreds and hundreds of the Ithacas still in use. In the early 80s I bought one of the Ithacas being "retired" and it has lived under my bed as my primary home defense gun ever since. 20" barrel, 8 shot magazine, 2-3/4" chamber and bead sight. It does not have a ventilated handguard. Works perfectly and is slick and fast! Some of the newer autoloaders, the Beretta 1300 and Beretta 1201 may be the modern equivalent.

  80. BTW, Lloyd Bentsen was a Texan, a Democrat, and a conservative one for the time. He defeated Yarborough for the Senate seat. Yarborough was a liberal Democrat. (at the time Texas was a 100% Democrat state and strictly banned the carrying of handguns, there was no LTC) Bentsen won his Senate seat in 1970 because he opposed the Vietnam war AND the Voting Rights Act, which Yarborough had supported. In a strange coincidence, Bentsen was able to run for both the VP and reelection in the Senate in 1988. Texas had changed the law allowing that, but Bentsen was "grandfathered" as he had been elected before the law change. He lost as Dukakis' VP but won reelection to his Senate seat. Clinton chose him as Treasury Secretary in 1993. In case you think "banning the ATF" would eliminate gun control, Lloyd Bentsen was Secretary of the Treasury when this shotgun was reclassified as a destructive device. At the time, the Treasury Dept./ATF controlled such things. Now it's the DOJ/ATF. If the ATF is "banned", the name will change on the building and not much else. The problem is the LAWS, not the agencies. The agencies are a symptom. BTW, any President since 1993 could have reversed the rule making this shotgun a "destructive device" by Executive order.

  81. I thought buttf*cking is where lawyers came from. We own 46% of the world's guns? How do we get the remaining 54%? If we're no match for nukes and F-15s, why would the government want to ban guns?

  85. The NFA is an assault on the 2A. It's a disease. Pistol braces are just a symptom. The makers of pistol braces don't want to overturn the NFA. Who would buy this trash if we could attach a stock? We need to challenge the NFA and stop using our resources (translation: $$$) to defend corporate profits of companies that have no interest in out RIGHTS. I don't want a "right" to a pistol brace, I want my 2A RIGHTS!

  86. Lewis MG gas system + MG42 feed system = M60 Well...the M14 was intended to replace the BAR. AND the M1 rifle AND the M1 carbine AND the m3 submachinegun. The BAR was more of a "Squad Automatic Weapon" than a "light machinegun". The later BARs tried to fill that role with a bipod and replaceable barrels. The M60 was intended to replace the M1919 Browning .30 machinegun. (an actual light machinegun of WW2) The M60 was one of the new type of "General Purpose" machineguns...copying the uses of the MG42. The FN MAG came around about the same time and eventually replaced the M60 in the US military as the M240. The FN MAG/M240 is basically (internally) a Browning Automatic Rifle, turned upside down and equipped with belt feed.

  88. Late to the game again, Brandon. A dozen or so other channels have done this already...just as a dozen or so other channels fired a .50 in a 12 ga. shotgun before you did. At this rate, you will be the 23rd person to perfect an AK-50. What do I think happened? I doubt it was an accident at all. Given Alec Baldwin's explosive temper, I do not think it was a mistake, except that he may have intended the shot for the guy that was only wounded.

  92. I was a police officer for 36 years, beginning in 1973, in a very large US city. I am not aware of these ever actually being used for riot control in civilian police departments. Supposedly, that is what they were designed for. Prison guards, etc. I can't speak to. We did have tear gas cannisters and tear gas rounds in the 70s. Cool gun, but I don't think it was ever used to shoot rioters in the USA.

  93. The problem with this gun is that it was "ahead of it's time" At the time it was offered people wouldn't spend money on .22s with muzzle brakes to tame the blast and recoil of a .22LR. Now they will. If they had introduced the gun in, say, 2015 and gotten it featured in a few video games, they would sell them like crazy. Given that Manny Mansfield has proven that 9mm will bounce off tin cans. Penetrating 5 cans is pretty impressive. 😜 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f55_mFAOvRA

  102. You didn't cover the Ukrainian AK 50? Why? 😜 It is an oxymoron to say someone is "in the Ukrainian DPR" The DPR (Donetsk People's Republic) is a breakaway region that considers itself independent and has been at war with the Ukraine government for 8 years. That said...Mosin Nagants, particularly sniper rifles, are still held in large supply by Ukraine, as are AKMs and SKS rifles. Even more were held in reserve by Bulgaria, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary and other former Soviet aligned countries. Many of them are now being unloaded onto/into Ukraine. Ukraine isn't turning down any weapons. In addition, Mosin Nagants are very popular for private ownership and hunting. Ukraine allows the ownership of rifles and shotguns. Not surprisingly, the former military rifles are common and the 7.62x54R is plenty powerful for any game in Ukraine and/or the former Soviet Union. Most likely, that IS an MG42. The Soviet Union captured millions of firearms and tens of millions of rounds of ammo from the Germans in WW2. They kept that stuff also. Every Republic, including Ukraine, had huge piles of those weapons after the Soviet Union collapsed. Recently there have been supplies of WW2 surplus 8mm Mauser ammo, sourced in Russia on the market. There are also a numbers of Mosin Nagant surplus rifles that were modified in Russia to resemble the sniper version.

  103. It's fun to imagine things like a drop in trigger to be considered a "firearm" but the ATF has specifically determined the particular parts that are classed as firearms. Could someone, in the future, interpret that to mean a drop in trigger is a firearm? Yes, I suppose they could. Is it likely? Is it even plausible? No. That really isn't the issue...if you read all 115 pages of the proposed change in regulation. Obviously the ATF is between a rock and a hard place here. They cannot write legislation or change law. They go to great lengths to state that they are clarifying "what congress meant" and "updating" regulations to "meet modern technology". Forgetting that the pistol that started WW1, the Browning/FN 1910 was a striker fired pistol whose parts do not meet the definition of a "firearm" under the GCA '68. If legislation needs to be updated...it needs to be re-legislated. OR, Congress needs to amend the GCA '68. It is not the responsibility of Administrative agencies to try to determine "what Congress meant". Vague laws are unconstitutional. Like the bumpstock ban which got struck down...ATF cannot make something illegal that is not in violation of a statute. Well...they CAN, but it can be struck down by courts. I believe this regulation, if implemented, WILL be struck down by federal courts, likely by one of the 200+ judges Trump appointed. The best thing we can do? Write to oppose this regulation during the comment period. If it is implemented, we can support the 2A organizations that will bring suits in Federal courts to strike it down.

  115. There IS some good news here. 1. This means the Democrats' legislative agenda to restrict our rights has totally failed. There will BE NO new Federal gun laws. This leaves them no choice but to use Executive actions. 2. Executive actions can be un-done as easily as they were done. No Congressional action needed. We just need a different President. 3. Russian ammo is not the only foreign made ammo for these cartridges, though it may be the cheapest...for now. The removal of Russian ammo from the market will open doors for other foreign made ammo. It could, eventually, get US manufacturers to increase production facilities. FRT Triggers? We are dealing with an administration that flat out ignored a Supreme Court ruling because of a few whiny socialist Congress members. They aren't going to let FRT stick their thumb in the eye of the ATF. They will find an Obama appointed Federal Judge to rule the triggers ARE machine guns and begin arresting people for having them and, probably, harass FRT endlessly. Hopefully FRT has the $$$ necessary to challenge them in court, all the way to the Supreme Court if needed. BUT, that would likely take longer than the current administration will last, so a new President and new AG could change it all.

  117. Short answer: His name is Herman The name is transliterated to Roman letters. His name is "герман" in Cyrillic spelling, which would actually translate to "Herman" in English. In Russian it is pronounced as Geh-YER-man. Fairly common name, particularly among older men (not as common with young people now) There is no true "H" sound in Russian, so the "G" sound is often substituted. There is a "Kh" sound, we would call it a "ch" sound as in "Loch Ness" In Russian it can often sound as an "H", but it actually is not. "German" (adjective), as in "a person from Germany", is Немецкий. Transliterated: "Nemetskiy" Prononced "nyeh-MET-skee"

  119. Any AK should have a Slavic woman's name. I suggest: Anastasia. Not so much because of the name "Anastasia", but because the "short name" (nick name) for Anastasia is "Nastiya" (NAH stee yah). Just sounds appropriate for an AK. Nastiya! Another good one, but much overused in my opinion, is Yekaterina. One of the short names for which is "Katusha" yes, like the Katusha rockets. Also "Katya" That said...the cartridge is an interesting one. More or less the equal of the .350 Legend and a little better than the 114 year old .351 WSL. But only a little. Sub-sonic, of course, limits velocity but the case design allows for heavier bullets than can be used in the 9mm Luger. Load it with 180-200+ gr. bullets and now you're talking. Make sure the rifling twist will stabilize those bullets at low velocity. If you can't do that, you're just wasting gunpowder and machinery Re: Texas...you ARE aware that Texas is very large. Correct? And it has a lot of different environmental areas: Swamps, forest, desert, mountains, plains, etc. If you want to have less humidity, you need to move to west Texas. On a map, extend the eastern border of the Texas panhandle south to the Mexican border. Stay west of that line for lower humidity.

  120. It is called "Throw a bunch of sh*t at the wall and see if anything sticks". OR, if anyone settles. Want to know the bad part? One, or more, of those defendants WILL settle out of court, like Remington did, rather than defend themselves using the federal PLCAA. This will encourage more lawyers to do the same. While WE defend the RIGHTS of companies, they often throw them away.

  124. I split the difference and BUILT 2 rifles using quality parts acquired over time at good prices. Quality, speed or low price. Choose any two. If you are not in a hurry, you can collect all the parts needed for good prices. Invest the time to search, be patient, and when you have everything, assemble your high quality rifle for a 1/3 to 1/2 what it would cost you to buy one "off the shelf". Some tips: Online auctions. Sign up for accounts on parts suppliers' websites and get "sale" announcements. Watch for specials on the parts you need. I bought quality lowers and BCGs on Holiday sales for about 1/2 the normal price. Check things like local estates sales. I got 2 COLT upper receivers at a local estate sale! An A2 for $75 and an M4 for $40. I also got a complete COLT A2 fixed stock assembly with receiver extension, buffer spring, buffer and buttstock for FIVE DOLLARS! Check the estate sale listings and check their pictures of items for sale. I also came across an M1 carbine WALNUT stock and handguard in excellent condition w/the military cartouche...for FIVE DOLLARS. I sold it for $100 and used the cash for buying AR parts. I did the same with a Mossberg and a Remington shotgun barrel, which I bought cheap and sold for 3-4 times the price I paid.
