    Help with ID'ing these rounds

    Neither are Hydra-shocks. Hydra-shocks have a post in the center of the cavity and are head stamped by Federal. I think the first one is a Winchester-Western JHP. Guessing from around the 80's. The second looks to be Speer Gold Dots. The Speer is an 8 petal bullet in your picture, but the...

    people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives"

    That's the first line of defense for sure. Be inconspicuous. Going to the big event near you with a big ol' Buck knife on your hip is only going to bring you attention. First, it's tactically stupid. Second, the Police are going to get "if you see something, say something" calls. They will be...

    people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives"

    As usual, it's the lousy way the laws were written that get us into trouble. 265.15(4) provides the presumptive evidence of intent for almost any object if you "adapt' it for use primarily as a weapon. Adapt is a broad word. It doesn't necessarily mean modify. A piece of heavy chain under your...

    DoD Plans Solar-Storm-Based National Blackout Drill During Antifa Protests In November

    The messages Saturday night offered only HF frequencies to listen and check in. What's worse, is that they're all in 60 meters where most radios can't transmit. Maybe Sunday's noon time message will open things up. I'll post if it does.

    NY Legal "SBR" or "AR Pistol" without having a Pistol Permit

    That's correct - absolute and total nonsense. I don't have to agree with it, but we are bound by their rules (like it or not). And they wouldn't know about it... unless they already know. That's my concern. I don't know if this is even possible, but if the stripped receiver is already "listed"...

    NY Legal "SBR" or "AR Pistol" without having a Pistol Permit

    This is what I was thinking, and the reason I brought it up. It may be an FFL screw-up if the stripped lower is transferred as anything other than an Other, but it's ultimately something that would bite the weapon's owner in the ass if it was wrong. That said, if the manufacturer listed it with...

    NY Legal "SBR" or "AR Pistol" without having a Pistol Permit

    If a person bought a stripped lower some time ago with the intention of using it for a Rifle (yet never did build it) but the ATF form lists that purchase of the receiver as a "rifle", would that pose a problem for using it to build (for the very first time) an Other? I don't know what the ATF...

    Inverters need to be built for that purpose - they would have feedback circuits so they could sync with the opposing inverter.

    Mossberg Shockwave

    The short barrel on the Shockwave offers a wider pellet spread. The birdshead mostly compensates for the short barrel to keep the OAL over 26".

    Looks like "real deal" military MREs are being sold to civilians, and the military isn't concerned.

    Deep gouge's in AR barrel

    I edited my post to say "inserted" rather than "loaded" a shell. Although just guesswork, my thought was that the pins fell out of a cleaned but otherwise unprocessed case that he test fit for some reason. I agree about the weaker brass absorbing most of the force, but if the assist was hit a...

    Deep gouge's in AR barrel

    If the pins were hard enough, it's possible they could have done this. Maybe he inserted a shell for a trial fit, not knowing that a few pins would drop out of the case and get hung up in the chamber. A few hits on the forward assist and you have the potential to make those marks. Look at the...
