I'm not a fan of adjustable sights on revolvers (love me those D&L Sports sights) but those look rather well made.

I would firmly put the 30x in the "crackhead defense" category of pistol

I can only imagine how intensely his "...ok?!" would increase if this happened.

The very first shotgun I ever bought myself was a Winchester 1300 with a ported barrel. This was in 1999. I thought I was Billy Badass. Until I fired it once without ear pro.

Gotta agree with you here. Definitely nothing we can do but follow the laws like good citizens who don't need to be monitored. Ever.

I've taken a few of his classes. He is a great instructor, he has a good sense of humor, and it would not surprise me at all if he lurked here.

Plus that man can fucking shoot!

for small bores for sure. they need that velocity. but in .30cal+ you can do some interesting things with heavy bullets. the original 220gr round nose .30-06 load was very good killers of grizzly bears and elk/moose. outstanding penetration that the lighter ~150gr bullets struggled to do. I'd argue that you get more leeway with heavy bullets though. a heavy .30 cal bullet will still easily kill a deer but a 130gr .270 might struggle to kill a moose. IIRC it took 3 shots for Jack Oconnor to fell his first moose with the 130gr .270 load.

Some of the most reliable machines I have ever owned in my lifetime were purchased because I had watched my friends/family ride theirs hard and put it away wet. Its why I will always advocate for the Buick 3800 engine. I'll see how long the 500 lasts in his hands and that will tell me how confident I can feel grabbing a $250 trade in special off the used gun rack.

The Mossberg Maverick 88 can be had for that new, and assuming you don't care about red dots on your receiver and are okay with a cross safety, its the same, and you can probably walk away with another barrel on special.

Would you happen to know how loud/reliable 45GR Winchester Super Suppressed is? I haven't seen much information or reviews about it but it's some of the cheapest subsonic rounds I can get my hands on locally for 10 cents a round (ouch).
Click to expand...

I've been running it in my Franklin Armory F22, which is basically a Ruger 10/22 pistol that comes standard with a binary trigger, a 9" barrel, and a Surefire Ryder 22-S suppressor. It has been reliable in both traditional semi-auto, and in binary mode rapid fire. It's pretty quiet, definitely much more so than standard velocity .22lr. I believe it's on the faster side of subsonic so that it will cycle self-loading actions more reliably, so it isn't as quiet as some subsonic ammo. I've been pretty please with it. It's a good deal, especially when you can get the larger bulk packs, and seems to be pretty reliable ammo. And since the bullets are black copper washed it tends to be cleaner than other options.

lol. He's the guy who has multiple attorneys on retainer.

Also, he's good with the opsec. How did someone find him, and why is a complaint by someone outside the jurisdiction even credible?

That’s the logic behind my 220gr hand loads for my Model 70 in 30-06. Plenty for the deer I’m hunting and in the off chance I run across a bear, I should be on fair footing

based alert. Here is one of mine. 220gr hornady interlokt with IMR 4350. recoil is not as bad as people say it is with the 220. All these old boomers hyped it up in my mind and it's just not bad.

My picks, in a ranked choice vote:
  1. Winchester Model 1894 - an iconic rifle that is solid, dependable, and reliable that is still used by hunters today and loved by many more
  2. 1873 Colt Single Action Army - literally the gun of The Man With No Name, the average person would be able to recognize it even if they didn't know its name
  3. M1 Garand - an all-American classic that is definitively the best mass-issued rifle of WWII; but why would it be a contender for the state gun of Idaho?
  4. Winchester Model 1873 - a lever action "rifle" for sissyboys who want to plink pop cans off that old stump they have out back; grow up and get a real gun
  5. Colt M1911 - TWO WORLD WARS, 'nuff said
  6. Remington Model 700 - really has nothing to do with Idaho, the most bland of the bunch, and haven't these fallen off in quality the past decade or so?

Good list, I'd going for the Winchester 1894 followed by the 1873 then the Colt SAA.

As for the R700..... I'm going to cause some hurt feelings by saying that rifle was compromised from Day 1 with it's ridiculous safety that also doubled as a trigger. The Winchester Model 70 was a FAR better rifle, just more expensive.

Modern R700s are literally rifle shaped trash and you'd be FAR better served by a Ruger American Gen 1 or 2, a Savage or a Browning X bolt bolt action.
 
Do any of you have any experience with pin and welded suppressors? Since you can 4473 suppressors in free states, It would be an easy way to get a "SBR" + suppressor without any of the NFA paperwork. You'd be able to bring it with you interstate and not have to deal with engraving. My only concern is how you'd be able to clean the suppressor properly.

Some of the PDW's/PCC's on the market look kind of retarded in order to skirt the NFA regulations, like the PS90. You're relegated to using braces only instead of a proper stock unless you fill out a ATF form (unless you have the right melanin levels in da hood)

well that was the point really. the R700 was always meant to be a poor mans rifle. everything on that rifle is a compromise for cost, mainly through decreasing the amount of machining operations. for example the receiver is cylindrical and can be turned on a lathe in one run vs a Mauser or Winchester which are made from square billet. the 700's small parts are all stamped vs cast or forged. it is the 1960s Ruger american.

The Winchester model 70 was always meant to be a up-market rifle for the rich and middle class. it takes more work to make. Winchester tried to cheap out on the model 70 after 1964 but it was not well received and they now make them exactly like they did before 64 and they are just as good as the old rifles. the only remaining cheap-out on the model 70 is the free floating barrel.

the true competitor to the model 70 was the Remington model 30.
