Snide? I don't think so: Definition of SNIDE 1 a : false, counterfeit b : practicing deception : dishonest 2 : unworthy of esteem : low 3 : slyly disparaging : insinuating I've always regarded the AR gas impingement as second to none with respect to accuracy, and a ton of fun to shoot on the range. However anyone who thinks the very tight tolerance AR/M4 system is equivalent to any gas piston operated rifle (as originally designed) such as the FAL, the AK, the Sig 550, the SKS, the Daewoo, the AR-180, etc. is only kidding themselves. And with respect to saving one's bacon in the real world in extremis, reliability ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the list of priorities...IMO.

Twinkies mimic mud. Have you seen the torture test the Swiss put their (piston operated) Sig 550 through? The ARF/M4 wouldn't pass that series of tests for sure - there is no question about it. Try some toothpaste in the action and let us know how that works out (no problem for piston operated rifles). lol

The question is...will half a Twinkie give it indigestion? lol [video=youtube;UhOb8q9CI-E]

Very nice poodle-shooter!

The part you're referring to is called the recoil link. I suggest you keep the recoil link pin (the pin which connects the recoil link to the bolt carrier) well lubed at all times as it is subject to a lot of stress.

Isn't that akin to putting lipstick on a pig?

there are better options for takedown .22s such as the Marlin 39A or 39M and the Browning Auto Takedown.

Why are you wanting a takedown?

Looking around I see where Uno posted this update on another forum - http://www.ammoland.com/2011/11/19/little-noticed-provision-kills-atf-shotgun-ban-plans/#axzz1srzbCJmm

I feel the love, don't you? http://www.infowars.com/atf-to-accept-public-comments-prior-to-outlawing-shotguns/

You didn't specify rifle or sidearm. If you want a tack driving .22 rifle then I suggest a good clean used Marlin Golden 39A (or 39M), preferably pre-crossbolt safety. Avoid 'Rem-lins' (any Marlin made in the past couple of years in the Remington plant after 'Freedom' Group closed the New Haven plant). 10/22 rifles are nice rifles and I have one myself, but bone stock they are only so-so however there are tons of aftermarket barrels and such to tighten up your groups with.I If you're wanting a pistol Ruger makes the very nice Single Six and their Mark II series (my gunsmith advises avoiding the Mark III Ruger pistols) - have no info regarding Ruger's latest .22 pistol the SR22 but I like the looks of it. I have a Browning Buckmark I'm very pleased with. I hear the Beretta Neos is uber accurate but I don't like the position of the safety, difficult to acquire quickly.

Same here - I can't help but think the darker the bolt knob the less visible in low light.

Nice blade. What is it? (Still no icons showing)

It's likely due to your low post count. I suggest you PM me the links and I'll post them.

Perhaps you could post them on a photo hosting site and post the links.

Then you've sworn under the pains and penalties of perjury that you're in fact a 'U.S. citizen', which is not a good thing to be under any circumstances - see 'The Red Amendment' regarding the absolute fraud of the so-called 14th Amendment. Back on topic: IMHO the chances that someone would have drawn attention to their C-stock equipped M4 are extremely small coupled with the fact that I would think that very few LEOs are RKIs regarding what is and what isn't '922® compliant' (consider how many forum members here are able to cite the parts count for '922® compliance' without having to research the matter). Thus my first post on the matter - there would have to be an instance where some thug wanted to screw you over, and if that were the case you'd have the gun removed from your care, custody, and control pending 'further investigation' regardless of '922® compliance' just because thugs are that way.

lol If voting did any real good our overseers would outlaw it.

Not a hijack, I appreciate any discussion comparing suitable optics for CQB shotguns.

It only takes one chance encounter with a thug to ruin your whole day. Support the SAF - http://www.saf.org/default.asp?p=gunrights_faq#3

Is that a 2 port or 4 port barrel?
