Report on it. Hell we need to know what those snakes are up to so we can decide a course of action against them. I never bought anything Springfield (I think they are just a touch over priced) and Rock River was never even on my radar (too many AR makers) so really I can’t say this makes any difference in purchasing decisions since I’d likely never buy one. Should I want a 1911 I’ll buy a RIA basic model and modify it how I want, I want an M1A I’ll buy a receiver and build one, and should I decide my AK needs an AR to hang out with I’ll build from scratch or buy a basic model and modify as I see fit.
I’m not gonna blacklist a site over them not blacklisting companies that would sell us out to try and get some carve out in a state law. I want them to hammer them on that kind of news and still review their guns so that folks that want to buy their crap can know what they get.
What video? Our crappy govmint computers won’t show the video!
Spoken like a “Law” Professor, with complete ignorance of the Constitution and what the 2nd Amendment is or is not. The 2nd Amendment is absolute and if this Professor did any homework at all she’d understand why our Framers put it in the Constitution. Also if she had any understanding of the Constitution at all she’d know that any Law or Supreme Court opinion contrary to the Constitution is void and has no force. For a Law Professor she’s pretty dumb.
LOL some of these comments. Good on TTAG for continuing to report on the SA and RRA’s of the world. Without the work of TTAG, I wouldn’t have learned about their misdeeds and am thankful to have been informed of them. I’m glad to know I have an outlet willing to call a spade a spade and also be able to point out the things they do well. Not being petty counts for a lot. Keep up the great work
Cool looking firearm. Terrible name. Open invitation for gun banners to point out how “racist” the “gun community” really is. Guaranteed to be on Nancy Pelosi’s shit list by morning.
Instead of AR pattern rifles, why not equip police with pistol caliber semi auto carbines? Combine pistol caliber carbines with frangible ammo, and police (who do NOT practice at the range often) can respond to nut jobs with firearms and worry less about their own bullets downrange. In the real world, taking out a madman from long range is a job for a sniper with a long barrel, long range, rifle. Laying down suppressive fire at less than 100 yards, or spray and pray shooting, should be done with ammo that does not punch through walls and keep going for miles!
There’s another bit of information that didn’t make it of the editing room floor.
I experienced a squib load during the course. It was, oddly enough, my second in two weeks, using two different rifles in different calibers. In this case, the round felt like it didn’t go off, but then the rifle attempted to chamber another round, which failed to fully enter the chamber. As I was taught, I performed SPORTS, in the dark, and a firm Tap on the forward assist finally brought the bolt all the way home. But that little red light in my head was going off.
Folks, pay attention to that little red light. If something doesn’t feel right on your rifle, check it out. Looking into the chamber on the firing line showed no issues, so I stepped back and broke open the rifle. I pushed a cleaning rod down the front of the barrel to find that it made it about 13 inches down on a 16 inch barrel. I was able to tap the bullet out and keep going with the course.
If I had not, if I had just performed the remedial action to get the gun back in the fight and pulled the trigger, the results would have been catastrophic.
” But that little red light in my head was going off.
Folks, pay attention to that little red light.”
*This*.
Psychologically, it’s kinda tough to do. There’s a strong motivation to blow it off.
“Nah, it was nothing. I’m being paranoid.”
Good training for that is to have owned an un-reliable car in the past. *Listen* to what the machine is telling you, it can save you from a long walk or a busted-ass gun…
Thank you Bill Clinton. I’ve already got what I need….And like Topher in Texas, I’m hiding out.
Ammo, specifically .357Mag, .45ACP, .30-30 and .38Spl., and a true western-style holster (not a buscadero) for my Vaquero.
Gosh darn it, I like jokes, even jokes on me. Whatch the vid, ha ha ha. Got me again didn’t you.
As with many other things in a market economy, the cure for high prices is… high prices.
What liberals cannot comprehend, however, is how their precious government initiatives prevent similar things from happening in sectors like education and health care.
