You are looking at a case of 1,000 rounds of Winchester 5.56 ammunition that just showed up on my doorstep. The good folks at Winchester have agreed to sponsor me, sending this along with another 1,000 rounds of 9mm. All of which is dedicated to the cause of getting me up to speed with my FN firearms. And, seeing as the cheap remanufactured ammo I was running in the last competition let me down so hard, it’s going to be nice having some quality ammunition to run through the guns for a change. Now, off to the range for some practice. . .
You bastard…
congrats nick, now get those guns running smoothly!
Sounds like they got the tactical reloading part down.
It’s hardly a “grandiose fantasy” for anyone other than the leftists that are trying to permanently enslave a nation. A “rapidly approaching nightmare” would be a more accurate description. “Schumer’s wet dream gone wrong” might be another. Meanwhile, Obama’s “civilian security force” continues to militarize with recent additions of military drones and heavily armored vehicles. With whom, exactly, are the civilian police forces at war?
Nick, Seriously? The MOST beautiful thing?
While I can understand your excitement at seeing a big ole box ‘o FREE bullets, and yes, I AM jealous, you need perspective. I normally wouldn’t recommend a trip to CA to anyone I liked but, in your case you need to go on a warm day and hang at Huntington or Seal beach for a day maybe two.
You’ll feel mightily blessed. You might even be inspired to shoot straighter. Trust me on this.
The picture in the story is not Mike Thompson. Although I am not a big fan of his anyway.

Mine is a basic A2 20″ barrel , A2 carry handle, A2 buttstock and hand guard, Magpul MOE grip, and the GGG side rear sling mount. Simple, but it works.
Im trying to keep it simple, its a complete PSA carbine with a 16″, 1:7 barrel and flat top upper without a rear sight. It came with a Vortex Strikefire Red/Green dot but Im not using it until I am more comfortable with my irons.
Because they work for me I kept the standard M4 collapsable stock and strigger guard
From Magpul:
*Carbine MOE handguard (cant stand the standard plastic handguard but dont want tacticool rails)
*Rear BUS (intend to replace for a fixed rear sight)
*ASAP end plate/sling mount
*MS3 Single/Two point sling
*13 Pmags
Did finally pick up a Sig 716 a few weeks back. Cleaned the hell out of it trying to get that sticky preserving lube Sig puts on there rifles NIB. Fired three differents types of ammo with mixed results. The 150 grain American Eagle “cheap stuff” gave me multiple short stroking issues. Hornady Super Performance 165 grain SST ran a full clip flawlessly with positive bolt lock on the last round. Silver State Armory 168 grain HPBT had occasional short stroking but not nearly as pronounced as the cheap American Eagle. The weapon appears well built and shot accurately with some sub moa groups at 100 yards, however it was very windy that day so not exactly optimal testing conditions. After experiencing some short stroking with two types of ammo I looked at the muzzle velocity specs for each. Hornady’s SST runs considerble faster so my assumption is hotter load & superior muzzle performance out of the ballistic tip translated into flawless function. Gas setting was verified on normal setting, cleaned again and will continue to test & break in rifle.
Mine is pretty much stock besides the addition of an after market battle grip, forgrip and an AIM red dot sight that can’t be seen during the day. Looks cool though.

I contacted the DCJS yesterday. They denied the allegation and asserted that the hot-line existed prior to the passage of Cuomo’s draconian legislation with the sole purpose of disarming street criminals. Needless to say, they may be intentionally misleading the public.
The people of the gun in NY should be “tipping” the addresses to every politician and their relatives. If used correctly this hotline could be overloaded with false leads and shut down within months.
I think the problem is more what AR-15s shouldn’t wear:
1. Heavy full length quad rails. I don’t care what spec-ops unit you wish you were part of, you don’t need 12″ of rail down the side of your gun.
2. Heavy-ass stocks unbalancing a gun. You don’t need huge storage in your stock. Try a pocket on your person..
3. No BUIS. I wind up using these things at the range when my batteries unexpectedly die, never mind a SHTF situation. I always run BUIS with either a 1x optic or an optic with a QD mount.
4. Unreliable optics. I’m not saying cheap here, I’m saying “unreliable”. There are good and cheap options out there… make sure you pick those if you need cheap.

It seems this law is more designed to bully and harass gun owners than anything else. Can you imagine the hassle if a not so friendly neighbor gets it into his/her head to report your hunting rifle as illegal, especially repeatedly?
God Bless Texas…
The problem is that this thinking is completely backwards. Guns are not about ‘Death.’ They are about ‘Life.’ Being able to stay alive in any threatening situation makes firearms as invaluable as any other insurance policy. And like any tool, mastery of the firearm creates a proficiency in living. You learn more responsibility and greater tolerance when you become a master of a firearm. You learn that you have the potential of being both the hero and the villian. How you choose to use the tools will decide your role. I choose life, always.
