Why did that remind me of this?

Fuck yeah! On another happy note, this is my 17-yr-old son constantly hitting a basketball-sized gong at 500 yards last Saturday using a bud's (who is spotting him) .223 bolt action Savage.

My latest acquisition, a Ruger American Rimfire in .22LR... Bought barely used with four 10/22 mags, scope, bipod and case. Can't wait to shoot it. Heard great things about these rifles! Cheers! M2

For one, it's the wrong caliber for an AK! Headspace is the distance from the bolt face to the chamber face (end of the barrel). When the weapon is fired, the pressure forces the barrel out and up against the barrel pin. If the barrel is not forced up against the pin, when it's fired, the headspace will change and cause a very bad situation. Midway (and many other places) sell "go/no go" gauges to make sure the headspace is good. Yeah, the look the same to me as well; but If the action closes with the first gage inserted, then the firearm is within acceptable minimum headspace dimensions. If the action closes with the second gage inserted, then the firearm may not be within acceptable maximum headspace dimensions and should be examined further by a knowledgeable gunsmith. Most builders use both to make sure it's good-to-go!

Yep. Can view but no log into here at work. That would be a workaround except some of us can't bring a cell phone into the office either!

Life After the Americans

No worries, Linda, this special tribute deserves a thread of its own! I embedded the video into your post for you, hope all is well and maybe one of these days we'll get a chance to have that long-overdue beer or two! Cheers! M2

Damn, I want one!

Yeah, that "PSA" has been making the rounds of numerous gun forums and Facebook. Encouraging kids to bring guns to school, how idiotic can the anti-gunners get?!? I guess it can be seen as a desparate act, as more and more Americans are supporting gun rights these days!

Merry Christmas, BaseOps! Cheers! M2

Hopefully not much longer, our governor-elect Greg Abbott has publicly endorsed open carry and several bills are being drafted to allow it... Anyone know of a good holster for a Draco?

Yep.

Laugh, but in Texas it is legal to conceal an AK-47 pistol if you have a CHL. That's 30 rounds of 7.62x39! You just have to be within 20-25 yards of your target to have any chance of hitting it!

I can't believe someone started a new thread when this movie is already being talked about in two other threads... Locked.

Yep, we all know it's about shot placement, vital organs, sepsis, etc. etc.; but as the FBI concluded in its wounding study, all things equal the advantage will always be to the biggest bullet! "Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet!"

The movie looked stupid anyway, and I almost suspect Sony knows that and it's all some big promo bullshit to get people to see it. Note I said "almost"...

CNN as well.
