I agree the 30-06 is a tempting bolt action/ reach out and touch cartridge. So is the 270. But the .308/7.62 NATO is common AND I have a nice AR in .308 with 50 mm 4x10 Nikon. Amazing rifle. Plus a simple and reliable Remington 770 in 308. We are good to go.

9mm may be popular and plentiful, and we do have three XDS compacts in 9mm, but it just doesn’t have the effectiveness of a 45 ACP HydroShock. P220s in .45ACP are the interchangeable pistols in the safe and vehicles.

Thank you for that information. The first link, especially, seems to be spot on to what I have been looking for.

Hold the grip with the right hand, place the left hand index finger in the trigger guard, and rapidly move it back and forth. can empty the mag in a few seconds. Waste of ammo, but might come in handy to keep heads down.

And...don't need "das papeiren"

I think you’re not getting my point. .308/7.62X51 are the .30 caliber of choice these days. I own one, and that’s the one I shoot most often. My point is, go into a hunter’s home in the USA, and you’ll find a 30.06 rifle and a couple boxes of ammo.

Logistics...

80% of police officers in the USA are carrying 9mm

Logistics...

I shot lots of machine guns while working for my Uncle but he was paying for the ammo. They’re fun to shoot but expensive to feed. I’ll stick with semi-auto now.

BTW, that was “Uncle” Sam.

Got ya.

Actually here in Georgia probably 60% of the deer hunters use a .270. .308 is second.

308 is good for hogs, deer, coyote, and ‘’ferals

Actually, I would say that the federal gun laws affect ALL of us, because those who WOULD be MG owners have mostly been priced out of the market. The last 80 years of the NFA has left a terrible impact on our 2nd Amendment rights, its time to repeal that b**ch!

What the link tells me is that there are only a few places doing the casting/forgings and 99% of the manufacturers are just machine shops from these few foundries.

Once you do the first one...you’re hooked on it. So, enjoy yourself, it’s easy, most of all.. welcome to the addiction.

BTW their stuff is first quality, not blems.

This law is clearly unconstitutional.

There's more to it than that

The part that stickles most people is the ban of a felon forever from having a weapon of any kind.

Many transgressions today are felonies and once you've served you time, you should be able to have a gun ... or many guns

I agree, a constitutional right like gun ownership cannot be taken away.

If someone is so dangerous they shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun, then they should still be in prison.

Frankly, I’ll be surprised if they even TOUCH it.

    Plus the right optics and lights
    Plus the right plan ;-)"


With a few minor variations, that is pretty much the game plan! :-)
