A couple of previous posts discussing the unbiased, master of terminal ballistics' findings.

Where is that sarcasm button?

Looks like I'll be out your way at the end of the month blue. Mayhaps a shoot date?

What's your .223 barrel twist, and distance you want to shoot?

Second that. I love varget and H335. H335 sells out at the local place here as fast as it comes in though.

Never a good idea to use pistol/shotgun powders in rifle cartridges. The burn rate is too fast. Rifle powders have a very slow rate of burn. Plus rifle cartridges are greedy and eat up powder fast. They don't like to share.

IMO a fore grip on it does a disservice. The hand guard is so perfectly ergonomic and angled just right to get a balance of steadiness and rapid aiming. I'm a bit biased though as I love my FS2000 like its my second child. I'm thinking of getting it a new sister since the tacticals are down so much ...

Definitely kind of high for used. The spots you're seeing are actually brass and copper. It happens with a lot of guns, mostly rifles. I have brass spots all over the feed ramp of my FAL. Get some Kano Kroil and it will dissolve those in just a few minutes.

That configuration was never offered to civilians. If you've got some really, really strong ties in military or LE then maybe you could get the hand guard.

Glock barrels don't have fully supported chambers so shooting hot loaded, high pressure rounds in those is a dangerous act. Just check your chamber.


Left is unsupported and right is supported

Don't be so eager there junior. When they come, it won't be politely, and you won't get any respawns. I hope and I pray that it won't ever come to it. But if it does, I'll do what is necessary. I just hope it doesn't. I'm not eager to draw down on another American who thinks that they, too, are doi...

He's actually talking about the FN model FNC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FNC

That's about what the sears are going for on all the auction sights I've seen. The full rifles go for around $6500-7500. Check the classifieds site subguns. They are a good source of personal listings of nfa stuff.

I will be working to get my tax refund done as fast as possible and if you still want to sell when I have it, I'll for sure take you up on it.

I've read 55gr fmj produce some pretty grievous wounds. They apparently fragment pretty violently at the right velocities and the US military stopped using them because of the potential to violate the Geneva convention. That's what I recall anyway.

Looks like fun. I really want to start loading 12 gauge for fun like this.

I thought we were past this kind of stupidity. At least just filter the guns out if parental controls are set to.

That was last I had heard. Its likely there have been other discoveries and I'm going to check into your mentions. I love theological and philosophical studies. It is time for me to brush up on some topics though

I use wd40 as my solvent then wipe it dry and lube with tetra oil.

Sounds like you got quite lucky. Welcome.

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Hope you catch them. Its frustrating to hear they stole your reloads too that's a lot of time to take.

Actually outside of the bible, which has to be omitted for obvious subjectivity, there is only one historical and documented mention of Jesus ever. Its by a historian named Josephus and its a small mention. There was a second mention of him by Josephus but was debunked as added into his writings by ...

Yeah, had a lot of stuff going on in the old personal life. I haven't forgotten I still owe you a shipment.

I'm just going to toss in my experiences here. I've extensively used a couple of Taurus revolvers and never had any major issues. Same goes for my experience with their semis. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Not sure if I'm lucky or what. I don't own the revolvers but they belong to my buddy wh...

If I had the money right now I would be all over it because that's a bad ass deal. Unfortunately I won't be able to come up with that until next month

Hey everyone. Its been a while since I've had time to post on here. Due to the praise from people on here and many other places I decided to order the steyr m9 today. It was 450 on cheaper than dirt and comes with the new 17 round mags. Couldn't say no. That is all. I'm just excited.

I wish these things weren't so ugly. I bet they are fun but damn, they are hideous.

If this is still available in a month I will for sure take it off your hands. I can't resist...

I've been trying to ship some ammo to blue for a while now and the main damned ups office here will not ship anything. I have to drive way out to the main fedex center.

I believe it was Grantness that was modifying them. You can always try pm'ing him.

The main issue with loading this round is there is no such thing as virgin brass. You want brass, you have to buy once fired or buy loaded ammo. That's a hefty cost for a company loading up specialty ammo in the caliber. Hopefully one day starline or some other brass company will start producing bra...

For those of you who have never seen it, this is the prototype of the kriss. This is just the purely functional, guts of the gun. Maybe now you can see why there is so much plastic on this gun :laugh:

Individual rights and freedoms are one of the main reasons this country was founded and I really don't like seeing anyone's undeservedly being trampled.

I wrote the ATF on the subject of getting a home based FFL, so I can give a little insight as far as that goes. You can get it, you just have to adhere to specific rules for it. You have to have secured cabinets/safes for all of your weapons, a security systems, and effective locks/doors for starter...

I have to say I feel like part of this is due to the video game generations getting old enough to own guns. I never had exposure to guns when I was growing up. I was always somewhat intrigued by them, but we just never had any around. I grew up playing video games and once I started to like first pe...

I love St. Sebastiaan dark abbey ale and Chimay grand reserve. I'm not a fan of a lot of Belgian ales, but I love those too.

Bump for (hopefully) great justice and price drop. Now asking $28 for the AFG2 and $70 for the UTG quad rail or $90 for both. I really need to get rid of them and could use the cash. I may be interested in trades on interesting things. So, if you have a FAL or just need and AFG2 you can get a great ...

Those look ridiculously awesome. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to break down and get some of these. Nice work.

I really like the skull one and I'm not usually partial to skull designs. It reminds me of gears of war.

Seems like the same bunch of guys that hang around the old guns shops, own only 1911's, and always think a bigger bullet is better. Apparently they are under the impression that they could take several shots from a 5.7 and just walk it off. Well we are the ones with open minds and get to have fun wi...

Those are beautiful. I wouldn't even want to shoot them. I'd like to just put them in a case on display.

Interesting. Thanks for that info, I thought all federals, not just the military ones had thicker cups.

If anyone wanted to see truly mean-spirited they should go lurk on the weapons board on 4chan for a while.

Classic arms has them for $310 right now. Probably about the best price you'll find.

Just a curious question here. I'm finally getting around to actually loading up some 5.7's and I'm using federal small rifle primers. I was wondering, since the primer is the weak link in the 5.7 and since federal primers have a thicker cup than cci and winchester, would be theoretically be able to ...

If you have a dremel and patience, the internal receiver block makes the folding stocks look nice. You have to chop off the back tang where the normal stock attaches which takes about 20 mins of dremeling. It gives you a huge variety of stock to attach because you get to choose the stock attachment ...

Most of your modern pistol cartridges perform similarly in the usual tests available. The 5.7 is a good all purpose round IMO. Plus its lighter and you get 20+ round in a mag.

They are really nice guns and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot and convert. Yes, you will need the bullet guide. http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/StoreFront they have everything you could need including the bullet guide and the tools etc to install it properly.

Info on all the currently available reloading equipment. Also, check out the wiki. General consensus seems to be that the hornady dies are good. Lees are well received also.

I disabled my mag safety and when I empty a mag, mine don't drop free. However if the slide isn't locked back, they shoot out very forcefully.

How much should the equipment cost? You can still get the lee anniversary kit for around $100 and it has most of what you need. A good caliper is a must and a tumbler is a good buy also. Besides that you'll need the components (bullets, brass, primers, and powder) and dies. You can find the most up...

Here are a couple of pics of my current setup. At least most of it. This is my rickety ass end table with my press and trimmer mounted on it: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/raziel028/2011-10-04_10-16-06_365.jpg I have a shelf on the wall with all the dies, bullets, and odd and ends: http://i...

I reload in my house, but space is very tight and I actually use an end table for all my reloading. It's not ideal, but I've loaded several thousand rounds on it. I started with .45acp then .223 I recently started loading 357 sig and I have everything to start 5.7 now. Personally, I think its best t...

I would definitely be getting a set

I wanted the ACR so badly when it was the Masada. Once Bushmaster got involved they took away the cool stuff that made it stand out and cheapened it. It doesn't offer enough over any other piston AR to warrant the price IMO. Quick change barrels are useless with out the mythical conversion barrels.

I've been having problems with fedex around here not wanting to let me ship my taurus back to the manufacturer for repairs. I need to get to ups to see if they won't be d-bags about it.

"I don't understand your tactics, but until I do, I'm gonna keep acting tough."

You could also check out one of the spike's tactical heavy buffer kits.

I solved the mystery. I found a post somewhere after hours of looking saying that a lot of cai's have ill-fitting pistons and over gas the bolt. Mine appears to have that issue. The piston does not float freely in the gas tube and binds up. I took off the piston spring and dropped it into the tube a...

You know, you're always going to have people that take anything anyone loves and find a way to screw it up or make it annoying. That's the way of humanity unfortunately.

PMags work fine. You don't need 40 round mags. Buy PMags or Lancer. Since when does need factor in most gun purchases? :p I rarely shoot more than 10-15 rounds at a time a the range personally. Ammo goes too fast. I can definitely back up the comments on the pmag. I had one when I had my AR and I l...

It should be fine. The only thing the lower does is hold the mag and the FCG. The upper is where you should spend the money to make sure you have good, functioning parts and an accurate barrel, etc. If you are looking for a cheap lower, I keep hearing the plum crazy polymer lowers are great. They ar...

That was almost as enjoyable as the ninja glock video.

Good luck. Hope everything goes well.

Someone asked this a while back. I'm not sure if they ever found anything. I don't see why you couldn't remove the optic and replace it with something of a similar size. Just reuse the mount.

Just to point this out; there is no original gun design. Everyone copies everyone. All guns, just as any product, evolve from inspiration from other designs. Knocking a company for that is just having a hipster attitude. Saying oh, they did it first and that's when I liked it. I don't like glocks be...

I'm not a fan of glocks. It has nothing to do with the way they function or quality; I just can't get past the looks. They are so blah and uninteresting looking. I'm a sucker for aesthetics. I shoot my 357 sigs from an XD, which also seems to be a pretty polarizing gun. I really love it. I love the ...

I got excited when I saw the FS2000 tool kit on there because I love mine and would like to have a second one. Then I saw the price. $118.00. :facepalm: <----MFW

I don't know anyone who loads the .357SIG, sadly. When I was deciding on the caliber, I had read that it's potential was 1600fps+; the factory loads are only at 1400fps. Blue, if you pm me your address, I will send you some of mine. That is if you're comfortable with trusting my hand loads. I load ...

IMO its definitely a cartridge worth hand loading or getting someone to hand load. It makes a nice big boom and it has some decent recoil at that velocity. Its a blast to shoot (unintentional bad pun). :p

Well I guess the nice thing is, its very slender and easy to store. I'm just happy to finally be officially part of the 5.7 club

Apparently my 357 sigs just had it out for my chrono. The first time I went out chrono'ing them, I nicked a rod for the light diffuser and it vanished. All I could do was laugh after I shot the whole damn thing. It sucked that I shot a $90 piece of equipment, but it was such a perfect shot. My buddy...

Panzer, that's beautiful. It looks like it would have been in an 80's sci-fi movie and I love it.

After being a member of this forum since January and shamefully not even owning a single 5.7 platform, I finally saved up enough to get my hands on a Fiveseven. A couple weekends back we had 2nd amendment weekend here in Louisiana and all firearms related purchases were tax free. I came across a FDE...

A while back we had a thread about chrono's and I mentioned I had a chrony f1 and was having issues with it reading .45's. Well I sent it to chrony and they were very courteous and promptly shipped me a brand new unit out. My first range trip out with it, a buddy and I were chrono'ing his 45 colts a...

Rapier, I was referring to the plastic part on the bolt assembly that catches the spent cases and drops them in the ejection tube. Perhaps extractor was an improper term, but I'm not certain as to what its called. I had to wrestle with it for a while the first time before I realized it sits beside t...

Good to see you back. I was kind of wondering where you vanished to. Sorry to hear about your hospital time.

I load 62 grain fmj's for mine and it seems to love them. The accuracy with them is pretty ridiculous. The only problem I had with my initial cleaning was getting the plastic case extractor back on. Once you do it the first time its a breeze. Its a really great rifle, so have some fun with it.

You forget the FsN ISN'T a pistol. I predict the ATF banning it because they'll inevitably redefine the caliber as "rifle only" and claim that the FsN is an SBR. Mark my words. I'm pretty sure they can't classify any round as rifle only. The only way they could call it an SBR would be if there were...

Ok guys, a while back I ordered the UTG quad rail hand guard and Magpul AFG2 for my FAL. I had an error with my order and for some reason my order was duplicated and I received two of both. Being the procrastinator that I am I failed to return them in time, so now I need to get rid of them. I paid $...

Well damn. I didn't think they'd be that fragile.

Also careful if you were planning on keeping that same charge in the case. Its a pretty bad idea load a heavier bullet with a charge for a lighter one. It will over pressurize. You'd just have to make sure to add your own charge. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pull them. It shouldn't damage...

Also a note: If you're shooting heavy loads (i.e. 250gr) you may get keyholing at around 30 yards in about 1 in 50 shots. I would assume this is due to the above mentioned shallow rifling. Lighter rounds seem to have no problems.

Its nice work. Color me jealous.

jgreenberg just wanted to say I absolutely love the cylon emblem on your mag well. Did you do that yourself or did you have it done somewhere?

My best friend owns a 3" barrel judge and we shoot it weekly at the range. I have never shot anything living with it, but I can say the accuracy from that thing is quite surprising. 1.5" 5 shot groups at 15 yards with 45 colt. The shot patterns from 410 are nice up to 15-25 or so yards as well. Reco...

Don't quote me on this, but if you aren't adding a steel core or something to the like I don't see how it would be a problem. If you legally obtained loadable bullets and you decide to alter their size or whatever, I don't see how there could be a legal issue there. Although it is the ATF and they t...

hahaha

Yes unfortunately it is Century. Seems to be a decent one at least. I mean I have the port at its most open and the bolt still locks back once the mag is empty. From what I understand it shouldn't have enough gas pressure at that setting to make the bolt engage the hold open. I've checked the port a...

So a few months back I got a hold of a fal for a ridiculously good price. I had some reservations because said fal was put together by a less than reputable company, but the price was right and I took the dive. I thoroughly inspected it and checked for all known issues that company seems to forget t...

Yeah, I was fully intent on sending it back until I saw it. It looked way better than I thought it would and is definitely worth the extra $80. Plus I didn't have to do any of the cosmoline removal.

Ok now for reassembly. Safety back on. It won't stay tightly until the hand guard is back on. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/raziel028/M57/2011-08-18_19-46-16_453.jpg Put the right hand guard back on first http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/raziel028/M57/2011-08-18_19-47-00_87.jpg Slide ...

I figured I'd contribute a little something to the forum since you guys have been so helpful to me. Basically in June I ended up with a little unexpected surprise in the form of a Yugo M57 TT-33 clone. I had made an order from classic arms and ordered a rifle, the M57, and some tokarev ammo. 2 days ...

I've ordered from them a few times. They aren't the fastest at shipping. It usually takes about 2 weeks, but for the price you can't beat them. Plus they are pretty helpful people.

Bullet diameter on 22 LR is .222" and 5.7 is a .224". That is only 2 thousanths of an inch but it could make for a bad situation if tolerances are tight.
