1. Just because they're standing around looking non stressed doesn't mean something isn't going on. Been there, done that, waiting on a radio message or whatever to take someone into custody. 2. Guy 1 didn't need to say it like that. Guy 2 definitely needs to calm down. 3. If you're in middle of BFE...

MrMurphy

I'd carry a G3 if it was issued, but I have several friends who can attest that driving over one with a Mercedes G-Wagon, or a Humvee, or an IVECO 1.5 ton will indeed, send it to the Big Armory In the Sky..... I didn't ask why their guys were so stupid as to keep driving over rifles (in more than on...

MrMurphy

Grew up shooting Mausers and Lee-Enfields and similar. After Vietnam, my dad was no longer much of a shooter, except revolvers occasionally. Ironically, I did not own my own AR until 2009. I first shot one in about 1990. Tons of friends with .mil, .gov or LE jobs, as well as other shooters, so I sho...

MrMurphy

The big difference between C-130s and -52s........

They're still making new C130s.

They haven't made a new B52 since the 1960s. And they're STILL flying.

MrMurphy

Yes, two or three.

They're not commonly in use anymore with the flat top receivers being so widespread. Hard to find "any" carry handle mounts in use, either the gooseneck red-dot mounts that sit in front of the carry handle, or the overly tall "on top" mounts.

MrMurphy

The A2 is blamed on the USMC rifle team (having spoken at length to the officer who was put in charge of the A2 program, back when)... The A1 made a better combat rifle. SOME of the upgrades of the A2 were good. Most were not. The longer stock, 3 round burst and A2 rear sight should have stayed gone...

MrMurphy

Tracer is red or orange tip, and usually will just barely ignite inside 25m or so.

MrMurphy

Neither were ever designed with optics in mind...both now have m1913 rail options as well as the AK side mount.

MrMurphy

Yeah, mine came in a trade and went away not too much longer, but it digested nearly 300 rounds of 7.62 in rapid semiauto from 10-200m without any issues and hit to point of aim. Considering Century "built" it, I was rather impressed. The basic HK design is sound. I just prefer FALs if I h...

MrMurphy

I've handled a few of the Century C-93's (Hk33 clones). Apparently, the drunken monkeys with sledgehammers at Century have been going to AA, since the HK clones i've seen or know people who've had experience with them has generally been positive. I had an original CETME in 7.62 from them 15 years ag...

MrMurphy

Probably the closest we'll ever see to what the German Army wanted in 1946 is the HK32. If you've seen a HK33 (the 5.56mm G-3, more or less, slightly scaled down in size and weight), the HK32 was a exercise in What If for H&K. They made a HK33-series rifle in 7.62X39mm for countries that were th...

MrMurphy

If you're using full moon clips, the Full Moon Spoon makes getting the brass out much easier.

Not sure if they're still being made, but probably are.

MrMurphy

The Germans knew it weighed too much. They accepted that to get the technology into battle. The second-generation Sturmgewehr was specifically ordered to go on a diet. The Mauser prototype, postwar, went to Spain, where it became the CETME. It then went back to Germany for production by Heckler &...

MrMurphy

Getting a .45 (non 1911) into a gun any average moron can handle isn't quite as easy. Especially if it's a double-stack modern gun. I carry a G21 on duty, and we have quite a few females that can shoot it. All of them would be better shots (and have a better grip on the gun) with a G17, as would abo...

MrMurphy

The .30 carbine is basically a hot pistol round. 150m is pushing it on effectiveness. It's light, handy, and easy to use, which was the point. It was a DEFENSIVE weapon all too often, shoved into an offensive role. The guys choosing to upgrade were usually using it in the role it wasn't intended for...

MrMurphy

The Storm shoots well, and they're solidly reliable with basic maintenance. Oddly enough, Beretta makes a submachine gun version of the same gun........ They were used as "rifles" in the mid 2000s Battlestar Galactica series. They'd sell better if they had more mag options, kind of like Ru...

MrMurphy

One of my now dead uncles lived in Hawaii. He was on Oahu, up in Waianai (spelling?) where there were cane fields. Cane fields=mice. Mice=cats. Lots of feral cats. The locals shot the cats on sight, since there were literally hundreds. Uncle kept a Benjamin .177 pump air rifle on the back porch with...

MrMurphy

My father in law uses a 7600 in .30-06. He hunts in the People's Republic of New Jerzistan, as well as PA, where semiautos are apparently not allowed (though NJ allows semiauto shotguns for deer?) He's killed dozens with his, and has a few bolt guns as well. HIS father (who I never met) used a 760 i...

MrMurphy

Percussion musket or rifle-musket (you'd have to see down the bore to check for rifling). It's missing the hammer, but the percussion "nipple" is still there. No idea as to the exact model, as most look fairly similar, it could be anything from a 1858 or 1861 Springfield (Civil War era) or...

MrMurphy

NYPD has had issues with their G19s, between the Gen 2 and Gen 3 guns. Considering how MANY NYPD cops there are, and how non-gun-guy most of them are, not exactly shocked. These were above and beyond the 'it's limpwristing" or "bad ammo" typical issues. I'll have to look around a bit,...

MrMurphy

They're not as utterly reliable as Glock would like you to think (NYPD's long running issues with the G19 being a case in point). This being said I've carried a Glock as my primary pistol since 1999, shot them since 1992 regularly, and carry a G21 on duty every day. Glock dominates LE because they'r...

MrMurphy

The later Sigmas got better. The M&P was designed to beat Glock at it's own game, they specifically went in and fixed everything Glock wouldn't that people complained about. Glock, having been told by the Glock USA branch since about 1999 this was coming, finally had to release the Gen 4 guns af...

MrMurphy

I won't recommend cheap. I will recommend what works no matter what you do to it. LaRue's LT104 is specific to ARs, and will repeatably mount and re-mount. The ADM is a clone of it, but also works. The Burris PEPR is the cheap Chinese non-repeatable zero version of the same idea. Don't blame me if y...

MrMurphy

Glenfield=Marlin.

XS Sights also makes a fast, usable ghost ring/aperature for them.

A red dot is a bit quicker in the dark and low light, but ghost rings are still quick. Quicker than any other irons I've ever shot, and I've shot pretty much all of them.

MrMurphy

The Millett DMS is an inexpensive option and they do work pretty reliable. I've had generally good experience with Burris Fullfields for hunting. For harder use, the Leupold 1.5-5X on an AR works very well. With decent ammo and a shooter with a clue, center mass groups at 500 are possible assuming n...

MrMurphy

KNS antiwalk pins are what you're describing.

Mostly they solve an issue with full auto (lots) and suppressed (lots).... most shooters will never see it happen.

I can't remember actually seeing a pin walk out, but I know it "can" happen.

MrMurphy

When I had one, the Speer snubbie 135 gr Gold Dot. Before that, Federal Nyclad.

They discontinued Nyclad about 15 years back, but reintroduced it a few years ago.

MrMurphy

The AICS is renowned for being reliable in all conditions. Ruger, as typical of them, designed for reliability before trying to get the rifle to run on what Joe Ted and Bobby have had stockpiled in their closets for the last 20 years. Magpul's new P-Mag5 is a $35 (probably will sell for less) AI-com...

MrMurphy

Get rid of Norton, it's effectively a virus you pay for. Malwarebytes isn't bad for free, but if you're serious about keeping your PC uninfected, run Webroot. I used to work for one of the largest game companies in the world (you would know their products, even not being a gamer) and that was the re...

MrMurphy

All about placement..... ...rather than a .700 Thermonuclearwedgie-delivering Shoulder-dislocating cannon they're afraid to fire, trying to make up for being an inexperienced/unpracticed shot..... This is funny. Why do all these threads end up telling people they shouldn't go outside without a cann...

MrMurphy

I once was on I-5 at 70mph and discovered my brakes didn't work. Thankfully it was a 5-speed Ford Ranger (empty) and I drove another hundred miles using almost nothing but the gears (the brake pedal had to be on the floor to exert ANY stopping power). Turns out the Firestone which had just serviced ...

MrMurphy

Friend of mine owns about 100 acres. About a year after he moved in and built a house, he was out working the property and found a very slightly rusted BL-22 leaning against a tree. Since no one had lived on the land (ever) and the last guy who owned it had run cattle there for 30-40 years and occas...

MrMurphy

Agreed. The "Alamo" you see now is the very smallest bit. It's like riding It's A Small World and proclaiming you've seen all of Disneyland. While it's still important, seeing it doesn't take long. While you're there, walk across the street (from the Alamo facing out, diagonal to your left...

MrMurphy

All about placement..... W.D.M Bell killed most of a thousand elephants with a 7X57 and a .303 British. Penetration was the key, and the fact he was an expert shot and knew EXACTLY where he had to hit. He also got CLOSE (on foot, usually running) to do so. I've heard African guides comment they'd ra...

MrMurphy

The 92 was a good gun in it's time. Like most Berettas, larger than needed in it's caliber. The safety is counterintuitive, but they borrowed from the Walther P38 (at that time, the only successful DA) as did S&W's guns. The "G" variant specified by the French Gendarmerie is the decock...

MrMurphy

Having burned up a 30 round magazine in about 3 seconds inside a concrete hangar as well as a 175 round continous burst of 7.62 inside a bunker...I assure you some of us have. Under stress unlike hunting auditory exclusion kicks in and you don't hear much. Damage occurs but not as much as you think....

MrMurphy

I use the same "seating" method you describe here and have never had a problem damaging parts or removing a barrel latter. The use of a good anti-seize grease is something a lot of people seem to forget. I've taken barrels off uppers for people to find the threads on the receiver damaged ...

MrMurphy

Midweight 1/8 twist in the carbine.

1 in 9 or 1/7 in the varminter depending on your favorite bullet weights. Stiff medium contour barrel, not a bull barrel. Rifle length gas system in the varminter. A GOOD freefloat tube, railed or not (up to you) and a LaRue LT104 for the optic mount.

MrMurphy

If you like his stuff, the book Theodore Rex, and the one that came before it is a 2-part biography of him and well written.

MrMurphy

I once met a retired Texas DPS (Highway Patrol) man. He was in his 70s and this was 10 years back. I was working at a gunshop. Old shop open since 1942, and quite possibly where he originally bought the gun. He brought it in for cleaning. Opens up the case. Original first year production Model 28, s...

MrMurphy

The early 4's had issues that seem to have been fixed. I was wary about it in the event I got a new 9mm for a duty gun. Half a dozen guys I know who train hard and shoot regularly have put upwards of 3-5,000 each through their 9mm Gen 4s now without any gun related issues. Any Gen 4 made in the last...

MrMurphy

Anything Teddy Roosevelt wrote.

MrMurphy

An M1 carbine loaded with a 110 grain JSP was (before the M4 carbine) an excellent urban warfare weapon, popular with a lot of cops and similar from WW2 onward. Short, handy and low recoiling, it's still highly popular in the Phillipines apparently even with the introduction of the AR 40 years ago. ...

MrMurphy

Dropping the grenade and hurling the pin will also not make the instructor friendly with you....

Don't ask how I know that. I can name names....

MrMurphy

I generally don't recommend pumps for women (or shotguns) unless they're "gun people". Someone like my significant other, 8 years Army and ex LE, is a bit different than others. But even she isn't a huge shotgun person. However hand her an AR with which she is intimately familiar and you'r...

MrMurphy

Carblue, I'm IN Texas and I can't find any......... if you ever need some hunters, I can whistle up anywhere from 2-25 veterans who are both sober, safe, and wanting to hunt in a fairly quick manner.... I'll admit 7.62 has considerably more experience than I do on the building and assembly end. And ...

MrMurphy

That appears to be an old Cavalry Arms polymer lower.

MrMurphy

Saigas can shoot well. When they run. The US imported models often have to be heavily modified to run "right" for 3-gun type work from all I've seen. I've put maybe 30 rounds through a few. Between mag issues and just getting them to work right...they're not for me. A good one can throw a ...

MrMurphy

Unless the USMC trained you, you can clean an AR in about five minutes.

What's the big deal?

MrMurphy

Fiberoptic sights help old guys see in the dim light. I put a Hi-Viz fiberoptic bead on my dad's (then new, 10+ years ago) 870. At hallway distances in dim light he could barely see the end of the barrel. Even with a nightlight half way down the hall. Added the Hi-Viz and suddenly he goes "THER...
