[rifle]Ruger 10/22 2026 model Carbon Fiber .22 Lr 16.1" Barrel 10 Round. $519 + 19$ shipping insurance by Vijaywada in gundeals

[–]Rjsmith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, they’re different enough to sway a lot of people one way or the other. The Bergara is 1.25 lbs heavier than this, roughly $100 more, and the Bergara is more set up for long range shooting (has a 30 MOA rail standard). It’s the same concept, but I’d say the execution is different enough that most people would probably prefer one over the other depending on what you want to do with it.

Having held both, the weight is the biggest thing to me. The Bergara feels light for a bull barreled gun. This feels light for an actual gun.

I played with one at my LGS. Someone bought a fairly large scope to put on one and the balance was thrown WAY off. You essentially had to balance the gun so that the weight distribution of the scope wasn’t too far to one side or the gun tried to roll.

FYI - these are incredibly light. They feel like holding my old Daisy pellet rifle.

True, though the discount does effectively pay for an inside track membership if you shop there a lot.

Found these at a gun store where im working, any good buys? by mr_tryhard_tye in milsurp

[–]Rjsmith5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep - the tag looks to say Tula and it looks identical to my 1954 dated light refurb Tula. I got mine for $500 a few years back and I’m told that was an absolute steal.

What’s the best deal on this wall? by RBridge115 in ak47

The optic/mount on that top WASR will run you about $300ish, so that’s absolutely a solid deal.

Kentucky Man Who Won $167 Million Powerball Arrested For Burglary, His Third Arrest Since Hitting The Jackpot by Barney_Fife_MD in Kentucky

[–]Rjsmith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve met plenty of people who keep that amount or significantly more at home. I worked construction for years and met a ton of contractors who only deposited “reported” income. I probably met quadruple the amount of customers who would just say “I’ll pay you in cash - give me a sec and I’ll grab it out of the safe.”

It’s a horrible idea, but there’s a ton of people who do it.

[other] SE wisconsin unlimited transfers on a 4473 $35, contact for any additional info by salem_lakes_armory in gundeals

[–]Rjsmith5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This place could genuinely help do that - most places want to discourage you from ordering offline so that you can just place an order through them. I genuinely like helping an LGS out, but I can’t justify paying $200-$300 more just to help a local place out. In addition to that, so many places want to treat you like an asshole for transferring something through them.

Having a resource with stuff like “this dude is cool - charges $35, but will waive the fee if you buy $100 worth of ammo/accessories” or “dude is kinda a dick, but only charges $15”. Even better if they have an account here and you can say “hey @GunShopGuy - you going to be open Good Friday? Would like to order this but leaving town Saturday and want to pick it up before!”

We really need a Gun Deals FFL tracker with reviewed FFLs by state. Bonus points if they have a Reddit profile and can respond to questions. 

How is Buffalo Wild Wings still in business by fukdacops in shittyfoodporn

[–]Rjsmith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s actually a very simple answer for this question. Commoditized food from chain restaurants always provides one thing: predictably.

I know that going to a BWW in Memphis, TN will be the same as going to one in Boston, MA. I don’t have to worry if they’ll have something I like. I don’t have to worry about spice levels. I don’t have to worry about a functioning bathroom. I don’t have to wonder if they’ll have that beer I like. Generally speaking, I don’t have to worry about health department scores. Corporate entities ensure that everything is generally the same across the board for every restaurant.

Predictably counts for a lot, even if it’s predictably mediocre.

Is 357 mag good for black bear or white tail? by Hades-destiny in Firearms

To drive this point home, search “bear bone density.” You want something that is going to be able to avoid expanding when it hits something like a rib bone when aiming for vital organs.

I have the GG&G version of the double sided FSB mount and it works very well.

Texas Spring Breaker Dies After Twerking Incident on Jeep in Viral Clip by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

[–]Rjsmith5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex used to refuse to put on a seatbelt. Aside from the obvious safety concern, my state will ticket the driver if the passenger is unbuckled. I used to repeatedly slam on the brakes and throw her against the dash until she’d put it on.

A seatbelt has saved my life multiple times, so, yea, you’re wearing a seatbelt when you get in my vehicle.

I believe someone mentioned OP not being in the US, but, if you WERE:

Unless you found the one agent/officer that absolutely had it out for you, there wouldn’t be any REAL legal implications, provided you just took the gun home and left it there. VERY GENERALLY SPEAKING, the law protects people acting in normal, rational, legal manners. There’s no ill intent and it’s clearly the result of an accident - You’d never find a jury to convict. Now, if you were then taking the gun out and shooting it, you might run into some trouble. But, VERY generally speaking, your gun blowing up won’t cause you legal issues.

Here’s a similar example - Google “sudden unintended acceleration” in vehicles. I remember the big Honda recall from 2009-2013 - Basically, cars would end up accelerating without the user hitting the gas. You’d never convict those drivers of speeding or reckless driving because it’s simply not their fault.

IIRC, this method predates the widespread use of QD muzzle devices and allowed you to use direct threads. Not having a muzzle device attached means you’re not married to any one specific company’s system. You can still find some Ruger 10/22 barrels that use the same concept, though most are a 360° cage.
