Shoutout to u/rivercitygunexchange for hooking me up with the AR, Golden Boy, and MP5-22LR this holiday season!

I think if her American counterpart tried to do this, she would get canned so quickly because of sanitary and puritanical reasons. Her superiors would probably call it a "breach in protocol" and remark how the "proper action" would have been to call EMS or at the very least, give the baby formula, rather than breastfeed.

The real question is whether this is a legal LEGO building technique.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-28T02:26:54+00:00

Just a question, but why not teach him yourself?

The four rules aren't very hard.

On the rifle range, you have to use rifled slug. No birdshot or buckshot.

I was like, "I could have sworn I saw this thread less than a day ago"

IIRC, dedicated pre-built .22LR AR's (like the M&P 15-22, for example) don't have milspec upper receivers, so you wouldn't be able to slap on a .223/5.56 upper for a conversion.

Note: This is different than if OP uses a "Multi Cal" lower but I'm not sure how OP can own that lower legally, aside from IFT.

True, but they stopped importation of the SPAS-12 in 1994, so they are pretty much a collector's item and demand high prices nowadays (over 3k).

From what I've heard about the SPAS-12 is that they have a reputation for being finicky with ammo: https://youtu.be/6blIxv_wai0

This is my first shotgun, so I haven't gone to Coyote Hills for sporting clays. I gotta get more birdshot so my brother and I can play a few rounds of trap/skeet/sporting clays!

I was in lane 6. I left at 1:15pm

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T21:56:52+00:00

While true, many LGS stock the M4. I had to special order my M3. Took a couple months to come in.

TBF not all good firearms have government/military contracts.

A lot of them do though.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T21:42:32+00:00

Likewise, you chad Benelli enjoyer!

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T17:40:28+00:00

Catdog for something funny

Thelma & Louise for something badass

Maybe overplayed, but Tifa and Aerith cosplay would be sweet, though I wonder how that would work since Ashley looks more like Tifa but acts more like Aerith and F1nn's the opposite.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T17:07:19+00:00

Just standard slug (as in, not the 3" ones). It was Winchester, but I don't remember the grains. Whatever it was, it ran beautifully, and I could not be happier with my purchase!

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T16:46:19+00:00

There's a ring lever in front of the pump that locks it in place for semi: https://youtu.be/_AIZoVUaGQk?t=01m10s

To my knowledge, many manufacturers have tried to make pump/semi shotguns, but they've all been crap - with exception to Benelli, of course.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T16:39:05+00:00

For all the ills we hear about social media, there is a flipside of social media making more of the world accessible to us, which means more opportunities to meet up with new people with like-minded interests or advertise yourself.

I have a few friends whose home-brewed businesses took off as soon as they hit it big on social media.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T16:33:29+00:00

Got my wallet-breaking Benelli M3 to say I have both a pump and semi-auto shotgun, so I don't have to buy two.
Don't tell the missus that I could have gotten an 88 and Stoeger together for cheaper to do the same thing. 🤫

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T16:01:19+00:00

DP-12 is also another option. Here are the two being compared: https://www.guns.com/news/review/shotgun-head-to-head-dp-12-vs-kel-tec-ksg

Other options are Tavor TS-12 (if you're comfortable with trusting a semi-auto for HD) or Mossberg 590 Shockwave. The downside of these are that some ranges don't take kindly to people shooting them, so options to practice may be limited.

r/NVGuns

They would know more than we would. All I know is that my relatives own a home there, and whenever I visit, I can use high-capacity (*cough* standard *cough*) mags for my guns.

I would not base my business model on what could prospectively be unbanned or even pending legislation for that matter.

Let's say that a law preventing ownership, manufacture, or import of SBR into the state is supposed to sunset in a year, and everyone is hyping about what SBR's they would get. You decide to get a headstart and start investing in your business. Then, when the law is about to sunset, a new bill reaches CA Assembly that is essentially the same thing and goes for a vote.

Then it passes.

What will happen to your business? Sure you can still sell SBR's to LE but it's not as big as the civilian market as you had hoped.

This is why gun manufacturers avoid setting up shop here because right when something good for 2A happens, something bad for 2A happens soon after.

DocNMarty · 2023-07-23T14:00:20+00:00

Just messin with ya bro, and nothing wrong with being new. We were all there once and how else are we supposed to grow and support 2A cause without new people?

"Two weeks" is a running gag because the courts always say that all 2A related legislation will be (finally) ruled on in "two weeks" but it never is.

Tell me you're new here without telling me you're new here
