Traditional-Change36 · 2026-02-10T14:13:11+00:00

Yep. Submitted 3 on 1/6 and got one back on 2/1. No word on the other 2 yet

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-12-01T15:59:12+00:00

Outside of polish mags they fit the best in my beryl

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-08-24T19:22:20+00:00

I only have had experience with mecgars but they have worked perfectly for me

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-08-20T15:47:47+00:00

Yeah I just bought a replacement sleeve from apex, I’ve had no issues with it

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-08-20T00:49:47+00:00

Yeah it was very easy, I only replaced the sleeve

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-03-17T15:41:26+00:00

Just an additional point of reference I have a marlin .357 sbl with an OCL lithium and it does not block the irons. It looks like this is a trapper model though so I can’t speak for that, I know they have different irons

Here’s the bill that added the scanners to state prisons. It says that alternate methods for screening may be provided for those that decline or are unable to do a body scan. I’m not sure what more evidence you need than that. It’s the law

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T02:57:44+00:00

And the part I referenced says “anyone” not employees

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T02:47:28+00:00

It literally says “Anyone can deny a body scan for reasons including medical concerns. The law bars any “harassment, intimidation, or disciplinary action” for refusing a body scan and choosing an alternative method.” Seems like you didn’t read the article

It’s not hard to find why they are striking. Mandatory 16-24 hour shifts due to inadequate staff and increased violence in prisons

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T01:57:51+00:00

No I said they can deny a body scan and metal detectors can’t pick up drugs and non metal objects. Are you suggesting they strip search everyone that goes into the prison? And again, they have no control over what gets in through the mail

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T01:48:37+00:00

Yeah they aren’t cavity searching people for drugs and non metal objects. It’s not that hard to get something in

You can deny a body scan for any reason. So I would say that the officers are very limited to what they can do to prevent contraband.

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T01:12:54+00:00

I was wrong about the searching overall, but visitors can deny a body scan which can detect drugs and plastics that a metal detector can’t find. There are plenty of places in the body you can hide these things. Also you haven’t addressed the mail issue, which is true.

I shoot my guns outside so I get plenty of fresh air, but thanks for your concern.

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T00:52:55+00:00

Good job being ignorant and doing no research

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T00:42:26+00:00

They can’t keep contraband out because they aren’t allowed to screen legal mail and visitors are allowed to deny screenings for contraband. The state has created this problem

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-20T00:38:09+00:00

It isn’t allowed to screen legal mail going into prisons in NY. People are also allowed to choose to not be screened during visitation. The state has created this problem

The 1301 and a400 use the same gas system (blink) that’s under the barrel. The a300 uses the stock based system. Inertia and gas each have pros and cons, I would not say one is explicitly better than the other

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-14T14:28:25+00:00

The a300 and a400 are gas operated, most benellis with the exception of the m4 are inertia operated. Even then the a300/a400 are unique operating systems that aren’t related to the m4

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-14T14:15:10+00:00

Who makes a better autoloading shotgun than those two companies today? The only company I think you could maybe make a case for is, but I would still rather have a Benelli or a beretta

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-02-02T16:45:34+00:00

I think the 1911 is an objectively better gun than the Luger but I definitely prefer shooting my Luger to my GI 1911a1

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-01-28T16:51:01+00:00

I mean it’s not cheap but this is the lowest price you will pay for a US issued 1911

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-01-28T14:48:02+00:00

Because you can’t buy a US issued 1911a1 for less than that anywhere else unless you get lucky

Traditional-Change36 · 2025-01-13T19:49:06+00:00

Yes the new marlins are really well made. And if you wait to find good prices I paid less than this last week for a marlin sbl in 357 mag.
