Weekend Gun Thread

Wow. Hey Honey, can I have one of these rooms?

113 years old and still growing in popularity, John Browning invented the cartridge that would be known as the .45 ACP for a military trial in 1905.

A persuasive point made by Senator John Kennedy.
“One grocery store doesn’t get so big that it lends and borrows and buys and sells from nearly every other grocery store in the country. These banks do. A grocery store also doesn’t need or get an $812.3 billion bailout from the American taxpayers,” Sen. John Kennedy

The death of control is coming or so we hope.

Building a 1911 at your kitchen table? How cool would that be? Pretty damn cool!

***

Clearing your house. an act of last resort.

How do you investigate this possible home intrusion quickly and safely? How do you navigate through your house in a way that maximizes your safety when there could be a possible attacker on the prowl?
Today we’re going to walk you through how to effectively clear your home. In the tactical world, “clearing a building” simply means investigating the premises for a suspected intruder. A building is “cleared” if you confirm the suspect isn’t there or you neutralize the threat.

California, the gun cray-cray continues. Parts is parts law.

The California Bill utter contempt for one's Second Amendment rights.

His proposal drew immediate criticism from legal analysts and immigrant rights advocates who said it would violate the U.S. Constitution's due process provision, which applies to citizens and non-citizens alike.

Posted by: TheQuietMan at June 24, 2018 07:18 PM (SiINZ)

They kinda do though. Some, but not all. Here's the full text of the 5th amendment:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Doesn't say dick about citizenship. It just says "person".

1. Glock is very popular
2. Springfield Armory is probably second most popular
3. I see very few revolvers, but the ones I can see are full-sized .357.

I think you're correct about the UTS-15 and the KSG but wrong about the sides. KSGs have that buttplate that extends below the stock, so that's on the right as you face them. I didn't know about the UTS-15, but you're correct except it looks like that could be the one on the left; it's got that huge blocky receiver that goes all the way to the muzzle.

40 In the process of buying my first gun in California...

Not first gun, just first gun here.

These people are whacked.

I must show ID, take a test ($25), take another bill or something in to prove I live in Calif, then once my gun gets here, 10 day waiting period while both the State and the Feds, oh, and COUNTY, can stop the gun sale.

Oh, and either a trigger lock, or proof of a gun safe... by producing a bill of sale as proof (yeah, like I have a bill of sale for my 25 year old gun safe).

Can you imagine the outcry if these limitations were put on abortions? or voting?

Some Rights are more equal than others.

77 I would not hold out John Kennedy as an example of anything apart from Celtic affirmative action.

He was a useless loser, a naval officer obviously derelict in his duty, and a hopeless philanderer, who became President only because his psychopathic father bought the Presidency for him, along with gross electoral fraud, he impressed Khruschev as a callow youth (which he was), which induced Khruschev to put missiles into Cuba (Cuber?) and almost started WWWIII but for Oleg Penkovsky. He then went to Dallas to shore up his dodgy changes of re-election, where he got smoked.

The end.

The second says The People, the fifth says (a) person. The first refers to Congress.

People in the US are subject to penalty for violating the laws of the US, and granted protections outlined in the same laws. They aren't bound by obligations set out for citizens, and aren't granted protections granted to citizens. I'm not a lawyer, but the distinctions seem clear enough to me.

Coach gun in 20 GA. Useless I know, but I like the look.
LCP 2 for really cheap.
The heart breaker though was a S&W revolver in .460. 10" barrel and a really good scope. At $12,000 I was afraid to touch it.
I can afford none of them.

He was a useless loser, a naval officer obviously derelict in his duty, and a hopeless philanderer, who became President only because his psychopathic father bought the Presidency for him, along with gross electoral fraud, he impressed Khruschev as a callow youth (which he was), which induced Khruschev to put missiles into Cuba (Cuber?) and almost started WWWIII but for Oleg Penkovsky. He then went to Dallas to shore up his dodgy changes of re-election, where he got smoked.

The end.

99 I finally got around to trying out my 10 inch barrel chambered in 7mm TCU for my Contender. For those unfamiliar, this is wildcat cartridge that is the .223 Remington necked-up to 7mm.

Accuracy wasn't as good as I would have liked (about 2 inches at 25 yards), but I had loaded it with a relatively low powder charge (30.7 grains of BL-C(2) with a 120 grain Hornady bullet) and still had unburned powder residue in the barrel. Time to step up the charge and see how that does.

I'm used to high recoil pistols and shoot .45 ACP frequently and .44 Magnum occasionally, but this 7mm TCU has even more recoil. The muzzle blast is very loud too. I fired six shots and my wrist ached a bit that evening!

110 Don't even need a printer or CNC machine. P.A.Luty Wrote a book about Expedient Homemade Firearms.

You might be able to find it online even at Amazon.

It goes in and out of print.

Luty was a pioneer of the homemade gun movement before it was a movement. From England he was jailed for not having a firearm but for having ammunition he was not licensed to have.

(sounds like Cali don't it?)

He shows how to build an SMG and some single shot firearms.

Very crude. I would test extensively before putting one near my head but the Devil drives when the need arrives.

Lots of good ideas get you thinking how to make a firearm how to make it safer. It's all up to you and the skill you bring to the work.

Gun Control is impossible over all. Yes some may wind up in jail but then things go badly when they start that in any numbers. And the state/FedGov knows that.

Connecticut firearms owners have yet to fully comply with the states law about registration. New Yorkers haven't either. Be safe, be careful and don't talk to just anybody about what you're doing or what you own. Not even who you think are friends. Unless you have some hold on them I wouldn't trust anyone I wouldn't trust my life to.

There are rules for this kind of thing, they don't need more protections and they don't need to be denied rights granted to all persons in the constitution just fucking enforce the laws that are already in place.

141 99 ... RBC, I have found recoil on Contenders often feels worse than on other handguns and I can tolerate a lot of recoil. But they are capable of great accuracy so I persist with lower power cartridges. 38 specials in 357 mag. and maximum barrels, 44 specials in 44 mag version, mild cast bullet loads in 30-30. If I need long range accuarcy I just put up with the recoil and once home take medicinal bourbon to ease the soreness.

It is popular and has gotten good reviews. Ruger essentially took their original PC carbine and did a redesign. The new version will take Glock magazines and has a Picatinny rail on the receiver.

I came -> this <- close to buying one for Mrs Cop but ultimately did not mainly because I didn't have a Glock 9mm and didn't feel like adding yet another magazine type to my collection.

153 When operating machinery I always use ear protection. I always check the cuff in the muff for critters before putting them on, always.

Today I didn't put them on and when I put them on something started jumping around in my ear. I yanked them off and there he was. Mr. Treefrog.
A flipping tree frog in my ear. Well, I promptly held the muff up to a tree and he hit the road.

Remember, always check the cuff in the muff for critters.

230 99 ... RBC, I have found recoil on Contenders often feels worse than on other handguns and I can tolerate a lot of recoil. But they are capable of great accuracy ... If I need long range accuracy I just put up with the recoil and once home take medicinal bourbon to ease the soreness.

I probably should have done the same. I was just a bit surprised at how sore my wrist was later that night. I had gotten this barrel years ago for a really low price and put a
2x Nikon scope on it. Federal used to make unprimed brass for 7mm TCU and I have 180 sitting around waiting for a load.

I made some test loads and the one I selected for the range just didn't seem to have optimal accuracy and suspect the load was too light since I had unburned powder residue inside the barrel. I was shooting from a bench rest and only got about 2 inch groups at 25 yards.

I have a 30-30 barrel and have been thinking about getting a .32 ACP chamber adapter from Ace Sports.

Posted by: Iowa Bob at June 24, 2018 08:38 PM (bjCNA)
-------
I use full length bushing dies for sizing. After I carefully set up the press (regular single stage for sizing) I check every 10th case or so to make sure I have a consistent bump of about .0015" or so. Consistency is key. I measure that with the same sort of tool that you linked.

I use a Wilson micrometer seating die because it gives a much greater 'feel' of the seating force required, and I verify/confirm the seating depth every 5 rounds or so. 21st Century Shooting makes an arbor press with a seating force gauge but after you load a zillion rounds you can just tell by feel. The necks of all my match brass are turned to a very consistent wall thickness and sized very carefully, again checking often for absolute consistency.

the police would not even charge you in those circumstances. Now, you
might get hit with a civil lawsuit by the late Dindu Nuffin's family,

Along those lines, I've been fairly surprised that NC's new (D) governor and (D) attorney general haven't decided to make an expensive example of some law abiding citizens regarding the mail order boilerplate suppressor trusts that have become so popular.

I use full length bushing dies for sizing. After I carefully set up the press (regular single stage for sizing) I check every 10th case or so to make sure I have a consistent bump of about .0015" or so.

Is .0015 for a bolt gun, or an autoloader?

I use a Wilson micrometer seating die because it gives a much greater 'feel' of the seating force required, and I verify/confirm the seating depth every 5 rounds or so. 21st Century Shooting makes an arbor press with a seating force gauge but after you load a zillion rounds you can just tell by feel. The necks of all my match brass are turned to a very consistent wall thickness and sized very carefully, again checking often for absolute consistency.

Posted by: Weasel at June 24, 2018 08:49 PM (MVjcR)

Thanks. Does your seating die match the bullet profile? After seating the bullet, I see some variation in overall length from round to round. I suspect at least some of that is because the seating die bears on a different point (actually a circle) on the bullet than the calipers do when measuring OAL. With this setup any bullet-to-bullet variation in bullet shape can affect overall length.

This is all for bolt guns.

The seating die has a standard stem for the caliber. I do not use OAL (ever, ever) due to variations in the tips of bullets from the manufacturing process. I use an ogive gage (Brownells sells them) which is a hex nut with various caliber size holes. This tool indexes on the bullet olive which is consistent because I spend a stupid amount of time sorting thousands of match bullets by ogive dimension. I measure from the cartridge base to the top of the gauge using calipers.

They're really popular in revolvers. You can find them for other auto cartridges besides .45, but for whatever reason they aren't as common as they are in revolvers. If I had to guess, it's probably some vestigial hangup about *throws dart* feeding ramp issues. Plus they're usually bare lead and people use FMJ ball for 9mm range ammo.

Posted by: hogmartin at June 24, 2018 09:43 PM (fZuhk)

399 Wadcutters are usually a revolver cartridge because they often won't feed reliably in a semi-auto. Typically cast and loaded with light charges for comfort and accuracy. They are popular for 'cutting' clean holes in targets making it easy to score them.

I've seen them in 32 long, 38 special, and 44 special calibers. I shoot a lot of them in 32 and 38.

400 394. Lead? Meh. We're not exposed to anything like the heavy metals what made our ancestors tough. Grew up where people burned coal in the winter - lead and mercury all over and in everything - air, water, soil. Builds character and promotes natural selection.

Check out Berry's Mfg plated semi-wadcutters. I've loaded thousands for plinking. You have to be careful with magnum velocities to avoid ripping the plating off but I have never had it happen. Just load them to published lead velocities and they're great. Very economical.

No...maybe. We get some good ones around here, but I've really just been wanting to shoot in the Designated Marksman Matches we have around here at Woody's near Raleigh, and do so until I place middle-of-the-pack. I would also like to be at least a respectable contender at some of the Bang Steel competitions near Wytheville, VA. Those look like tons of fun. Once my rig is done, I'll be taking (and probably re-taking, because I'm not such a great student at anything, lol) the Bang Steel course.

I have no delusions as to my skill potential. I would simply like to get good enough to not embarrass myself with my performance at local/regional competitions, like I did back in my 3-gun days. I tend to avoid competitions that include "sponsored" competitors.

Pretty sure I had turned those off. I asked him to accompany me on my way in to clear the place. We walked up the six or so stairs side by side. Drew our handguns as I grabbed the door knob . Not locked. Crap. Pretty certain I had locked it. Bad neighborhood. Not that I had much of value to steal having gone thru a brutal divorce a couple years prior. I asked if he was still with me. Yes. I opened the door and entered. My brother surveyed the room and said " shit, They trashed the place." No, I said. This is how I left it. We cleared it anyway, but I am now a much better housekeeper.
