My New Toy [Complete]

[wswartzendruber]

Rangers generally dress in green or brown.

EDIT: The castle nut wrench came in today, so I can fasten the collapsible stock onto the lower receiver, whenever those get here.

Edit this was aimed ay BKs previous post which was here a minute ago. He must not have been sure about the reception he would recieve for saying what he said. Don't worry man, ol' bogamol has got your back.

Apparently it's legal if it's not a certain brand, and if you don't make it look like an assault rifle (e.g., no folding stock, no pistol grip, no flash suppressor). wswartzendruber indicates he is getting a folding stock though.

The laws are confusing. I think maybe wswartzendruber should consult an attorney, before he assembles this weapon and takes it out in public.

That's the nice thing about shotguns. They're legal just about anywhere, if you don't get all 'tactical' with it.

I still say you should've got airsoft guns.

especially calibre. Any thing that is only capable of firing a little plastic bb should be illegal on the grounds that you'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Personally i think it should be legal to own a 80mm howitzer for example, but I dont think its unreasonable to say that the rounds can only be sold at licensed ranges for use at that range...Reloads should be illegal citing safety of firing a compromised case out of an artillery piece...otherwise people ought to able to have the shell casing when done firing it.

What about autofire though? Do you consider a bumper stock to be full auto...because on an AR you can use the recoil of the weapon to unpull the trigger and simulate rapid fire in a semi automatic weapon even without the bumperstock.

I guess now that I think about it --
Regulating autofire doesnt work because you can still rapid fire without it. And while I agree with regulating the ammo in some calibers I think even the biggest weapons with the most ridiculous calibers ought to be ownable.

The stock doesn't fold, it collapses to a length still compliant with California's minimum size requirements. Also, the magazine is not considered detachable because it requires a tool to engage the release button. Having that bullet button allows me to have a pistol grip.

[BoneKracker]

Oh, I see. I thought you couldn't have any of the above. If that's the case, I'd give up the pistol grip for a detachable magazine.

An AR without a pistol grip looks gay. The bullet button does not.

This came in the mail yesterday: Upper Receiver

[notageek]

What will you shoot with that?

Well first I'm gonna need to zero out the weapon with an appropriate calibration target.

Image moved. Hopefully it isn't the puppy.

Ah, good. I was concerned it might actually be something else.

If you have javascript disabled, it erroneously says the picture has been deleted or moved. If you toggle it on, it erroneously then loads the first picture in the series, which is a sleeping puppy, not the target.

That's a police M-16 zeroing target array. They are used at close range. Unless the shooter is a very experienced marksman zeroing before combat, hunting, etc., zeroing should be done the first time with the weapon in a bench rest or (then the shooter can operate under the assumption that any inaccuracy is something they must correct in their technique). If you don't have access to one, just use sandbags until you can get access to one.

The USMC has everyone zero their own weapons in the standing, kneeling, sitting and prone positions. So that's four different zeros you have. You write the data (elevation, windage) on a piece of paper and store it in the stock. Their rationale is that everyone's zero is going to be different because each person has a different posture in each position.

[notageek]

What's wrong with a simple bolt-action rifle? A Remington or something.

More powerful.
More accurate.
Beautiful.

I'm also thinking of a Remington M24.

[notageek]

A Remington 770 or 700. These are not very expensive.
