Gun wankery

[Seff]

That's a very interesting firearm, sir. Where did you find such a piece?

 

[MrMundy]

Relative from the US was a railway policeman, I got it from him when he passed. Was issued to him in 1946 or something along those lines.

 

[crodio]

looks like something out of a cartoon, something a french guy with a ridiculous mustache would pull out in a cabaret, in 1917.
4/10 would not kill myself with it

 

[Tibertus]

New gun, 300BLK, 8.5" barrel, technically a pistol.

 

[Lord Brutus]

9/10.  Would own, but certainly not for one-handed operation.

The ATF now allows you to should a pistol brace. So yeah...

Wording seems a little ****y here but I believe you answered the question I had, which was "how is it not an SBR if it has a stock?"

Do you have a source for that change in regulation? I'm intrigued but also really skeptical.

 

[Tibertus]

That meant to say "shoulder a pistol brace". It's a recent ruling from April 2017. https://www.sigsauer.com/press-releases/atf-clarifies-ruling-pistol-stabilizing-braces/

Pretty much every pistol brace manufacturer announced it. If you actually contact the ATF about it, their rules are that the pistol brace can't be longer than 13.5" and it can't be permanently attached to the buffer tube. Other than that, if you shoulder a pistol brace, it does not constitute a redesign of the firearm, it is still classified as a pistol, and is not an NFA firearm.

You made me look at 226s again, reminding me that I don't have one & making me sad. Thanks for that source though, except not really, because now there are other guns I want but don't have & will be sad about.

 

[Tibertus]

Ammo came in. I stocked up on everything while I was at it, JHP and FMJ .40S&W, XM855 and XM193, and of course I got me some 200grain subsonic 300blk rounds.

 

[Seff]

Do they fit in normal STANAG mags?

 

[Orion]

The purpose of .300 blackout is to shoot like the 7.62x39 but fit in regular ol' STANAGs, yes.

 

[Tibertus]

Yeah they'll work an any ol AR mag. And you can use your same lower receiver too.

Straight pull, best pull. Also, the father of the Garand.

Also, the father of the Garand.

Umm, what?

 

[Paronomasia12]

The en bloc springing upwards when released.

The '86 mannlicher drops its en-bloc out the bottom though.

Mannlicher invented the en-bloc.
