yes but having an Mini 14 AND an AR sporter (no handle, fold down magpul sights) I still think thats a Mini. The colors, the bolt/action and the front blade sight...

Someone scratched out the word "terrorist" in Bishop/Bishra's note. Since it was among the first few words, I question if HE did it himself or if it was done after his death to redact the transcript account.

[combat_boots]

You know, maybe he means actual pigs. He hates pigs.

We’re getting back into the old “pajamadeen” days —after Dan Rathers memogate. Every dumb thing that had 0.00000000001% chance of being SOMETHING ended up as a thread on FR. Except now it’s the other way around, not finding anything is the smoking gun

[BenLurkin]

Interesting. Twitchy could be providing terrorists free near-instantaneous “BDA.”

You can see the distinctive AR trigger guard leading to the magwell forward of the handgrip if you blow the picture up. It's an AR with an optic on top.

[pax_et_bonum]

I know!

I guess I wasn’t clear - I was just picking on you a little by responding to “skirted” with “booted” - as in clothing items.

Lol! It’s been a looong week!

:-)

Something on top there...can’t tell from the pic if its on a rail or the bolt. But looks like the stock has the tube for the lame Stoner design. (not saying I dont dig my AR)

[KneelBeforeZod]

And... the fact that the press conference they mention “assault rifle” could be an AR.... If that mag didn’t look so big, I’d still say maybe some junker like a kel tec or saiga—but the photo is warped and low res to begin with

[gundog]

It was common for Weather Underground types, as well. SDS...there was a cartoon in some rag that Hillary edited...Yale Law Review, maybe? Old school....

[Red Steel]

"wanted to kill TSA and pigs," the official said,

"Pig" is/was the usual leftist/socialist word used in this context.

[ColdOne]

where did you find that copy of his note?

[Spktyr]

Yeah, but you can’t count on the stock tube. There’s so many adapters for other firearms to take advantage of the AR’s aftermarket in stocks that it’s not funny. My Saiga 12 mounts the tube and stock off an AR, for example.

Thing is, there’s no adapter block like almost all of them take. Those things are usually large and obvious and this one doesn’t seem to have one so chances are good it’s an AR, even if you ignore everything else.

I for one don’t dig the AR much and it wasn’t until the piston ARs started coming out that I started being interested in them. If it comes down to it, I’ll hang on to my FAL.

[advertising guy]

like I didn’t lead ya there / s

[Spktyr]

Um... Saigas are not junkers. Kel-Tecs can be, but aside from the .223 variant the Saiga’s pretty good. (The AK action seems to hate .223/5.56 for some reason.)

[Old Sarge]

Sweet Haysus.

This is smelling like a week-old roadkill skunk...

[combat_boots]

OK

The guy lives in CA with no address?

Or drives across country to go shoot someone at an airport?

[KneelBeforeZod]

I “only” have an AR sporter...so I’m not into spending tons of money to get pointless things like geniune triple polished Saskatchewan sealskin receivers or whatever... But when a Saiga 308 is $550 and an “AK style” is $400—Even in CA.... I’ll just borrow my buddy’s SCAR when I want to shoot big rounds.

But... like I said...I just have a super basic AR so maybe Saiga isn’t “junk” but certainly not up there with the top end. Should last 20K rounds by all accounts, and worth it for $400-600 out the door I guess.
