Ron Paul's Rifles - photos only please!

[Gideon]

I'll start with one of mine, and I would like to see some of yours.
Photos of Com-bloc, bolt action and dream-rifles are welcome!

Comments are also welcome, but it would sure be nice to accompany the commentary with a photo (even rifles that you don't yet own).

http://www.hchq.biz/mia_photos/rpar.jpg

Bushy lower, CMMG 16" A3 upper with tritium front sight post and flip up rear sight. I prefer a standard stock to the collapsible, and I like the dissipator because it provides the full 20" barrel, iron sight radius. Optics are great, but my mom's maiden name is Murphy, and I like to KISS.

[Agent CSL]

Don't let the media get ahold of that picture. They'd love it.

I don't have a firearm yet but as soon as I get the money.. after DC... and after a new computer. For now I can always borrow one of my dad's many, many rifles or handguns.

[Dequeant]

My latest is not complete.....but soon grasshoppa, soon.

I've got the upper and the rails, just waiting on my DPMS lower and optics to come in the mail.

Completely left handed cept the bolt release......and in 6.8 SPC too, w00t.

First of all, you commented without adding a rifle photo.

Secondly, why should we fear "the media" when the Rule of Law affords equal communication access to all, and security for all.

I should nullify your comment until you post a picture.

She need not to. According to the title bar location of her post, she is actually close enough to the MTC in Western Washington that all she needs to do is ask and I can provide various armaments within hours. In fact I have enough to do that scene from the Matrix when those racks of guns come sliding out.

Therefore any picture posted by myself and others known at the MTC in Monroe, or those Mountlake Terrorists (unnofficial meetup group name for that area), would qualify as "hers" since we keep extra rifles for any patriots who need them.

She is welcome to borrow this one:

If you and your rifle can hit a tyrant sized target center mass at 200 yards, then it is exactly what we are looking for. If not, then you simply need more training.

You should seriously consider obtaining said rifle(s) ASAP, and shipping to your ETS home for safekeeping with the parents or spouse.

Don't forget ammo! (http://www.awrm.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000188)

I flew back from Germany and purchased a rifle right before the Clinton Ban and loaded up on tons of magazine for it before the price when from $3 a piece to $30.

Then I took it with me actually and kept it at the base armory.

NEVER WAIT to buy a gun. :cool:

hello media! :)
Please ignore the almost 1,000,000 other banal posts to this site and look only at these pics of the scary looking guns that Ron Paul supporters own. Ignore that the instigator of this has a very low post count and so just recently joined to push this survivalist meme. Yes, these people are pictured with signs that say "revolution" so it's ok to say "whew.. good thing he's a longshot and didn't get the nomination because they were planning on a real revolution".. and it's ok for the homeland security folks to go ahead and put his donors on their lists since these kooks are obviously planning some heavy duty shit.

You have no idea what you are saying, the men posting photos in this thread only have a low post count on this forum, which is just a internet message board, not the real battlefield that these men have a lot of experience on.

If the delegates in St. Paul do by some miracle manage to push Paul into the spotlight there then you'll see the images here used by the media to show how radical and extreme his supporters are. The media will attack Paul by saying it's a small and extreme portion of society that wants him elected - not the majority.

Nevermind that tens of thousands of other average Joe's have been on this forum and posted roughly a million posts - they'll have these images to show how scary and extreme the Ron Paul supporters are. You know how the media works. I do not agree with them, and I don't like what they do, but they will do it if given half a chance.

You know only the words of slavery and fear and use them in your defense of the indefensible.

Ron Paul's pacifist political strategy is part of his current platform, the delegates going to the RNC will determine the slate, this fight for freedom is a lot bigger than Ron Paul and certainly bigger than a fear mongering useful idiot.


all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Since when is it extreme to own a gun, and be able to use it? Approximately 100 million Americans own guns.

Do you believe that Bill of Rights Article 2 affords an individual right as important as the Article 1 which enables you to state your opinion, even though you might be dead wrong? The right to bear arms gives teeth to your right to speak freely.

Do you really believe that an armed citizenry is a detriment to liberty?

I have been a Ron Paul supporter going on ten years. Who were you supporting ten years ago?

I have a sworn duty to protect MY president, and I will do my best to do so.

Perhaps you don't believe in self-protection, and that is your right, but please don't spew your politically correct chunks in my direction and spray that lawful, Patriotic gun owners (who actually know how to use their tools) are somehow a threat to a campaign which has already been maligned by the media, and even the Republican party.

The men and women you refer to as extremists are We the People, they are my brethren and they have earned my utmost respect due to their willingness to give all for liberty. These are military veterans and private citizens who are fully committed to a peaceful election process, and as history so often dictates, peace is only accessible to those with superior firepower, and the ability to deliver it when the need arises.

You are always welcome to train with us, for We are the People.

Owning a gun is one of the basic rights in this country. I'm a defensive pacifist, meaning that I won't go after anyone, but I will defend myself. It took me a long time to come around to guns, even after being held up at gunpoint by three men.

It's a matter of being self-sufficient and responsible for myself. I have a dog who would rip the entrails out of anyone who broke in also, is that also crazy? I've lived by myself off and on for a while, and my dog helped protect me from some drunken freak. A gun would have also. I've also had a stalker--you really think the police can protect you from someone who is determined to find you? Is it really so insane that I should want a shotgun and a handgun? Crime happens when you least expect it and if it happened to me in a nice suburb of a small town, it can certainly happen to anyone else.

I used to live in Baltimore, one of the highest crime-rate cities in the world. A family that was trying to reverse the crime trend and refused to give up their neighborhood to the drug dealers by calling them in to the police was targeted by the dealers to be executed. The entire family, Mom, Dad and their 5 or 6 children were executed and the house was burned to the ground. The message: the drug dealers have control and if you rise up against them, you and your family will die.

Nobody was convicted.

If mom and dad had guns, they would have been able to defend their family. The cops couldn't do it when every dealer was after them. They may have been able to save their family and gone on to promote real change in an American war zone.

What kind of message would that have sent? 8 dead drug dealers rather than 8 dead good people. The neighborhood improves immensely and a message is sent to the dealers.

A hypothetical situation, of course, but which one do you prefer? The one where people like me and that Baltimore family are victims, or one where we take responsibility and take care of ourselves?

[Doktor_Jeep]

Seeing this post about what the media would think reminds me of a story about a slaughter house worker getting pissed off at a stubborn cow. He pushed at it and said "get up that chute or I'll kill you!".

In other words it makes no difference. The media is not going on what they see, but how they are told to interpret it.

But I will not let this thread get derailed!

ALS3705
Interlocking Rubber Batons (3 batons), (37/40mm)

Description: The most advanced direct fire 37/40 mm round available. It was designed for the Marine Corps and fires three each, 21gram, 35 durometer rubber projectiles at 260 fps +/- 20 fps. This round was designed for single or multiple target engagement allowing escalation of force from a safe distance prior to use of lethal means.

Background: The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON ROUND was developed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional rubber ammunition. Most rubber ammunition is designed to be skip fired off the ground into the target. This form of firing can be adversely affected by snow, mud, and soft grassy terrain. The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON is designed as a direct fire, behavior modification round which is fired using conventional target acquisition techniques. The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON can also be skip fired in close proximity situations.

The best defense is a good offense, the r3VO_|ution succeeds by leading the way not by apologizing and accepting the enemies slander.

[tommyzDad]

Nice bangsticks, madengr. How are you liking that Knoxx Spec-Ops Stock.? I'm looking forward to getting one for my 870.

[madengr]

The Knoxx stock is great. I could shoot slugs all day without bruising. That said, I can't see not having this thing for those 8-hour classes where you will be putting 100's of rounds down range.

However my wife does not like it. I have long arms so I shoot with the stock fully extended. If you collapse the stock you have a good chance of getting smacked in the cheek, especially getting a solid cheek weld with a plain front bead like mine. I believe ghost rings or optics may solve that problem, but I don't have a problem so I may just keep it plain.

I would also like to get the PowerPak shell holder since I have no way of holding slugs, but that definitely looks like it may exacerbate the smacking problem. They say it comes with two cheek pieces though. It may also block the sling slot where I have my 2-point attached.

They also sell a long ball-end hex driver for $8. In hindsight I wish I had bought this but I was able to get the stock on with a standard hex key, it took a long time though. That, along with some blue lok-tite and you will be good to go.

I used to live in Falls Church and grew up in Winchester. Will get betting back to NoVA to see my mom and attend the march.

That's right, I do have to get that tool as well. I do have hex keys, but knowing my luck I'll wish I had the tool.....


I would also like to get the PowerPak shell holder

I'm going that route as well. It's probably redudant but I wish thinking of just send it off to Wilson Combat to get some sights put on, as well as the side-saddle, and whatever else the Missus will let me spend my money on. :o And get the Knoxx setup. (I do plan on getting the Surefire forend-light....)

How long's the barrel on that S&W/ AR?

Sorry, OP: Too much chit-chat, not enough pics. :p

[madengr]

The S&W has a 16" barrel.
If you get the Surefire you may also want the Wilson Combat 870 side sling mount plate. It gets the sling out of the way of the light.

I would love to have this unfortunately and I don't want to go through the unconstitutional paperwork for an SBR:

http://www.dsarms.com/images/SA58OSW.gif

Can you tell I have a thing for FALs? There is nothing like shooting a FAL with a brake/compensator under a metal lean-too (like at the range). It really get's people's attention compared to 5.56mm!

AR=snap, crackle, pop!
FAL=KaBOOM!

Then again, battle_rifle != carbine, you need BOTH!

[GoDrNo]

That FAL is BEAUTIFUL....how do you like that Bushnell reflex sight? I've been thinking of getting one for the AR I'm building (hopefully the upper assembly will get here tomorrow, it's about 6 hours away aboard a UPS truck as I type this).

[madengr]

I love the sight. My wife used to work for Bushnell so I have lot's of these Holosights (test units and rejects). That being said if I were paying for one would spend the little extra and get the EOTech. I believe the internals are the same (off the same assembly line) but the EOTech has an extra metal shield-plate and rubber controls. You can also get it with AA-batteries instead of the N-type. You can also get a waterproof one but that's even more $.

http://www.bushnell.com/images/products/51-0023.jpg

I prefer the standard reticle with the 1 MOA dot and 65 MOA ring, as opposed to a 1 MOA dot or 4 MOA ring. If you just want a dot then the Aimpoint would probably be better since it has a 5 year battery life; you just leave it on. I get 10-12 hours out of these N-type units, but just toss them after 8 hours so they don't die when you need it. They don't actually die, rather briefly cut off under recoil.

Looks like they have a new one though with a 5.56mm drop compensator and side mounted controls, which is a plus if the rear is pushed up against your back-up iron sights.

http://www.eotech-inc.com/images/product/557.jpg
http://www.eotech-inc.com/images/product/AR223Reticle.jpg

That being said, if anyone does not have some type of red-dot optic, you are in the stone age! They make child's play out of bowling pins. Probably a bettter invention than sliced bread; I'm not kidding.

On the 21" FAL though I want a S&B Short-Dot (costs almost as much as the FAL) or a Millet DMS. These are a red-dot type with variable 1-4X magnification. They make flip-up magnifiers for both EOTech and Aimpoint, but that's just more stuff (to break) hanging off the rail.

[tommyzDad]

[madengr]

The LWRC is pretty cool. I heard though in a class I took that it had some reliability issues. The instructor had an HK416, which also has has the piston, as does the FAL. I don't know if the HK416 will ever come to light since the FN SCAR won the SOF competition for a new rifle.

Anyway, the SCAR-L (5.56mm) and SCAR-H (0.308) are on my wishlist when they are available to civilians (hopefully soon).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_V2wvk2F6A

http://www.qmud.com/bbs/data/nan/scar.jpg

Then again I want both SCARs, another 21" FAL, a Noveske N4, and not just one of each but at least two so they don't get lonely. I suppose it only takes $$.

I have a theory about putting two FALs in a dark safe and seeing if they would produce a third; no such luck yet.

Yes!

Rifles enough for a squad, and I am confident that you have 1000 rounds for each semi-auto rifle.

I can properly equip a few fire teams, but the majority of the tools have been pre-cached, so a group photo would be impractical.

I'll see what I can dig up for show and tell.

I would gladly lay aside the use of arms and settle matters by negotiation, but unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my battle rifle, and thank God that He has put it within my grasp. Thomas Paine (contemporarily paraphrased)


".....be extremely wary of events tending to advance laws stripping Americans of their right to keep and bear arms. No matter the provocation, genuine or contrived, millions of Americans will not be disarmed without a violent struggle.

The society of gun-owning Americans is like a great lake: vast, deep and placid. Their firearms are rarely seen above the lake’s surface from day to day, but they exist in their countless millions just the same. It is the contention of the author that it would be extremely unwise to push millions of firearms owners past their boiling points, with unconstitutional laws depriving them of their right to keep and bear arms. The unintended consequences of such a mistake would be disastrous for all Americans. " ------- Matthew Bracken

Wishing is recognizing the value of such but taking no action to create/form such a group.

Example, I wish Ron Paul would be elected but that wish wont do near as much as voting for Paul, or spreading his message to others.

Take Action, become active, there are numbers of people out there that wish the same thing as you but until one of them takes the action to turn that wish in to reality it will remain a dream.


Thank you everybody, there are just the pictures i have hosted currently.

My comments were not to be taken as an insult, just to encourage others to take action. You happen to b in a very good position to form a group as you have trained personnel every were. I would urge you to find them with similar opinions and ideas from your area and work on a group when you are no longer active duty. You would be an asset to any group as well as your state of origin.

Does your drop holster pull your pants down? I have found them to be nothing but trouble but perhaps I have a chicken leg or something that is not suitable for that kind of holster.

The secret is raising the holster as high as possible so that it acts like a hip holster rather then a leg holster. I modify all of mine and pull them up as high as i can, then the leg strap is just to keep them from flapping around. This is why i don't use HSGI holsters as they flop around very bad, but TT modular holsters , and Safari land modified holster work well. When its all said and done the but of the hand gun is right at belt level or just below it.

"QFT Everyone of my Army buddies said they won't draw arms against the American people especially not for something unconstitional."

That, combined with the strong support the troops have shown for Ron Paul, gives me hope. I just wish they were all home.

[Dequeant]

That, combined with the strong support the troops have shown for Ron Paul, gives me hope. I just wish they were all home.

The good thing about the military is that i've noticed it tends to be inverse of the civilian population when it comes to Ron Paul. By that I mean it tends to be the higher ranking (as in NCOs and above) that follow Ron Paul, as opposed to the younger troops.

That's good for America because in the end it will fall on the NCOs to enforce the unconstitutional orders............and i don't think the powers that be will be pleased with the results.

Which is why they have agreements with mexico and canada.......where in the event of civil strife they will bring troops from those nations to suppress our population.

I all can say is good luck to them, because they'll need it. When nothing is subtle, Americans, even the current sheeple, have a bad history of taking kindly to suppression.

[Acala]

I'm not too worried about either Canada or Mexico. Neither army is going to have any real motivation to take on the kind of entrenched resistance they would face here. Really the only army in the world that could take on an armed and angry American people is the US army itself. And if they won't do it, then it ain't going to get done.

[canadian4ronpaul]

believe me, no one from canada wants to suppress anything. at least nobody i know of. most canadians have never even seen a gun before let alone shot one. I was in army cadets for a bit so I'm one of the few.:D

Hey Folks,

Just got one of these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sa_58-JH01.jpg

(I would post a picture of mine, but can't figure out how)

Although it looks a bit like an AK, it is completely different internally and is smaller and lighter than an AK. It also has a far more precise fit and finish than any Ak I have ever seen. Of course tight tolerance means less reliable in dirty conditions. But it usually also means more accurate. I can't say as I have not fired it yet. This makes my fifth Czech gun but my first Czech rifle.

[Acala]

I actually got the semi-auto version of the vz-58, not the select fire version shown in the link I posted. Too bad.

My authentic Soviet 91/30 Mosin-Nagant 7.62/54R sniper rifle.

From my reading this type has been used during WWI, Bolshevik Revolution, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Has original Soviet Russia stamping, four channel bayonet. Also included was the strap, oil canister, tools, and ammo pouches...all authentic for the tidy sum of $85.00.
Friggin taxes and fees accounted for half the total price of $125.00...nice piece of history. Thank you my fellow patriots in conviencing me to exercise my constitutional rights!

Here is the most recent DSA Fal build I have procured.

[TruckinMike]

My latest acquisition -- Imbel FN FAL w/DSA receiver, para rear sight, T48 fore grip, SAW pistol grip, and DSA's X-stock. --- I built it around two bolt/carriers, one thats tight (for accuracy) and the other thats middle of the road (for relentless reliability). However, I think I'm going to cut it down to 16" for CQB requirements. You never know.. Zombies may come out of the woodwork -- I need to be prepared.:)

Last week I went to a Republican party meeting where an hour was taken up with some slide presentation about how terrorists are all going to screw our dog and kill us if we don't stay in Iraq.

They showed a picture of a destroyed building and said "This is what a First Responder sees"..

And every time the police get a load of these rifles, it's always said "these are for the first responders".

I don't know how you can handle a blown up building with an AR type rifle. Perhaps it's to finish off the survivors so they don't tell anyone about the strange presence of BATF agents hanging around right before the blast.

Thanks for sharing.

But I have to ask, what good is owning these rifles if you do not know how to shoot them to effective distances?


The Appleseed Project sponsored by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association is a very, very good start.

appleseedinfo.org

check out the schedule on the forums, there shoots from west coast to the east coast, Illinios to Texas.

Two days worth of rifle marksmanship instruction for $70.00 cannot be beat.

Learn how to hit 20" targets at 500 yards with iron sights using mil surplus ammo.

The instruction taught works.

I know it works because after attending two shoots, I can now put 10 rounds into a 10" diameter at 400 yards.

This while using a standard M1A and military ball ammo.

The Appleseed Project is a great way to learn how to confidently shoot your rifle like our forebearers knew how AND learn about our Revolutionary War heritage.

Yes, at every shoot there are several brief speeches given to recognize the importance of the Revolutionary War towards our freedom today.


There's a zillion gunowners in the USA, but there's unfortunately but a few Riflemen.

This Republic needs more Riflemen, not apathetic gunowners who can't shoot 50 yards, 100 yards and hope they hit the target.

Bench shooting is useless unless you are an average duffus American gunowner.



The Appleseed Project teaches rifle marksmanship for the field, NOT the bench BTW.



With only one round, a Rifleman can confidently hit a 20" target up to 500 yards with iron sights, better known as the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile".


As an owner of the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile", it feels good!



The Rifleman's universe is one round.

The Rifleman's pledge is to understand the history and principles on which our Republic was founded. AND to teach others.




I hope all of you will become Riflemen.

There's a zillion gunowners in the USA, but there's unfortunately but a few Riflemen.

This Republic needs more Riflemen, not apathetic gunowners who can't shoot 50 yards, 100 yards and hope they hit the target.

Bench shooting is useless unless you are an average duffus American gunowner.



The Appleseed Project teaches rifle marksmanship for the field, NOT the bench BTW.



With only one round, a Rifleman can confidently hit a 20" target up to 500 yards with iron sights, better known as the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile".


As an owner of the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile", it feels good!



The Rifleman's universe is one round.

The Rifleman's pledge is to understand the history and principles on which our Republic was founded. AND to teach others.




I hope all of you will become Riflemen.

I will edit my post to include a pic of one of my weapons to keep with the "pics only" posts BUT I wanted to just say thank you for posting this information up. This is right up my alley and is needed. I went straight to scope shooting and NEED to get back to basics with iron sites.

M1A, Troy Industries SAS modular chassis system, magpul adjustable buttstock, Grip pod (vertical foregrip/bipod) Troy folding front and rear backup sights, and a 3.5 power Trijicon ACOG



The owner of this very rifle was at the April 19th, 2008 Appleseed Project shoot in Davilla, TX.

I knew I saw that rifle somewhere before.

Checked the appleseed forums and yep, the exact picture of this rifle was posted by its owner over there.

Although technically this is a photo of a coconut cracker for another thread (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=140604), the RP's rifle was used in order to add perspective.

I don't know if this is exactly what you were looking for, but it is my rifle. Marlin 30-30 with a 3-9X40 Bushnell scope.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i90/weslinder/DSCF0215RAF.jpgOh man, I am really jealous. I always wanted a Marlin lever action. Someday - but I'm having trouble deciding on a caliber. I was thinking either 30-30 or 308 or 35 or maybe one of the pistol cartridges. I'm leaning toward a 35, though I know the 30-30 is a classic deer cartridge.

[Maz2331]

I'm not too worried about either Canada or Mexico. Neither army is going to have any real motivation to take on the kind of entrenched resistance they would face here. Really the only army in the world that could take on an armed and angry American people is the US army itself. And if they won't do it, then it ain't going to get done.

Mexico can't even really control their OWN territory lately. The drug cartels are wreaking havoc all over the place down there, and actively going after top police and other government officials.

B964,

Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear you've got a M1 and M1A on the "to get list".

Can't go wrong with either.

Both of which are SERIOUS rifles to those who know how to use them, especially for longer target distances whilst using iron sights.

Your endorsement for the Appleseed Project is spot on.

Irons at 500 yards.

Earn it.

(BTW, It's easier than one might think! :D - it's all about the knowledge and a little bit of fortitude to make it happen.)

This is my only rifle in FL, it is an FN ps-90, dumb down carbine version of the p90. I would like to get a short barrel for it, but the theft stamp and barrel are as much as a nice new AK. Sweet little rifle. I have an eotech on it with a few extra mags, it holds 50 rds of which i have about 3k stocked up right now. My other rifles and shotguns(all hunting guns and rifles) are at the family home in NY.

no but i think i read somewhere that they had a 5.7x28 ar15. Its almost cheaper to shoot 5.7 ammo than 223 right now. I pay 700 for a case of 2k rounds now.

Uh....

I hope you have seen the big reloading thread lately.

Bet that ammo takes small rifle primers. But why an AR in that caliber?

Oh heck they make ARs in all calibers these days.

[Gideon]

They have the P90 in 5.56 yet?

The 5.7 is 1.594 inches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.7x28mm) in overall length, while the 5.56 is 2.26 inches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56x45mm) in overall length, requiring either a completely re-tooled gun or a different magazine design. I think the transverse box mag of the P-90 is very cool.

But then you were asking rhetorically weren't you?

John Meridith,

The P90 is a very unique firearm.

I'd like to get one myself one day simply for a collectors piece.

If you still have it, keep the box, manual etc that came with this rifle.

The day may come that you want/need to sell it. If you've got the original box, manual and all the other goodies that came with it when you bought it brand new, you will be able to get a higher price for it.

This stands not just for John's P90 but all firearms. always keep the original box and accessories that came with it.

This adds substantial collector value, especially for military type rifles.

Heads up all.

Man, I'm lovin' this thread! I just picked up an AK WASR 10 last week. Don't have any pics yet, but I'll see about posting one. It's just your average looking AK, but I intend to spruce it up a bit. Don't let this thread go by the wayside! Provides inspiration to us all!

[B964]

Who would want a 60 year old, heavy, obsolete rifle like this? Me. So I got two.
This is as out of the box.
Service grade Harrington and Richardson 1950 era caliber .30 M1 Garand rifle.
You can get one FedEx right to your door starting at $495.00 for rack grade from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. All you need to do is to become a member of RWVA, attend an Appleseed shooting event, save your country, send in the forms and payment.

How about that! Help save your country with Appleseed and get an Garand to boot!

My fiance wants this gun, where can i get one like it?
I carry a glock-22 .40cal and sharp shoot with a 25-06 bolt action.
Also have a 50cal musket and a couple of bows incase I wanna go rambo.

My friends and I train using airsoft rifles, they look, feel, and handle like the real deal.. and it allows us to actually practice live combat. plus saves us the expense of ammo.
We use the training fields of the local national guard.
I like the exercise.
The only thing we are lacking is enough night vision for everyone.

It looks like an ugly Jeep Wrangler Unlimted to me. Don't most German vehicles have fuel filler on the right? What are they building there? A SHTF bunker?

[SWATH]

Negative on Deutschland, it was here in America and it was really fricken hot. That building in the background was a live fire house that I was about to enter which is why I donned the suppressor. The walls are 18in. thick of gravel and sand. It has an open roof so instructors can walk around on the catwalks and have a bird's eye view of your fuck-ups as you clear the building room to room (there is one up there in the photo).

Then go to AWRM. (http://www.awrm.org/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=10)

Then go to AR-15.com (http://www.ar15.com/)

How're you liking that Magpul stock?

[SWATH]

I absolutely love it! It is heavy but it really balances the rifle out, it is very easy to hold the rifle with the firing hand and keep it level without straining or torquing your wrist. I also love the storage compartment, I have a spare bolt, a small bottle of lube, some ear plugs and I think a battery in there too. It locks up solid as a fixed stock but with a little better cheek weld. I've had it about a year and it's great. The QD swivel sockets are also awesome.

[tommyzDad]

...I have a spare bolt, a small bottle of lube, some ear plugs and I think a battery in there too....

LOL. That's a lot of room ! I had to re-read that bit...you have just the bolt, not the bolt and carrier. LOL.

Have your tried Vltor's stocks? I think the Enhanced one has a compartment as well, but big enough only for batts or ear plugs, firing pin(s), etc.

[SWATH]

Yeah just the bolt. It fits in there perfectly. I have not tried Vltor but one of the instructors had one and seemed to like it a lot, it didn't have the extra storage compartment though. The only thing about those is there really hurt if you have facial hair. The Vltor was what I was planning on going with until the UBR came to fruition.

Exactly. I hate when people call a magazine a "clip". M1 Garrand might be old, but it'll pack a whollop! Imagine getting hit by a round traveling 2000 feet per second...ouch. The one you see in my picture is a 1954 H&R M1 Garrand.

A 30.06 travels a lot faster than 2000 fps.

what is the most affordable "assualt type" weapon a civilian can get without a special permit?

How about two foot section of large bore garden hose capped off with a hex bolt and secured in place. Then add a few steel bearings inside with nails pierced through behind those to secure the bearings. Then add your favorite type of grip. Nice thing is it can be somewhat folded.

what is the most affordable "assualt type" weapon a civilian can get without a special permit?

EDIT: The SKS for around $175. The SKS is top loaded with a stripper clip (10 rounds). Its more accurate than its cousin the AK47. It has a longer sight radius; especially if you order "tech-sights" rear peep that adds 9" to the sight radius. Its as dependable as the Ak but half the cost. Note: some SKS's do have magazines, but I don't like them. The stripper clip top load is fast, simple, and cheap. The SKS is a VERY under valued weapon. Its a great buy and a great tool.

Next...

There is the Ak47 for around $350-$450. It comes with a 30 round magazine. It's a great weapon < 250 yards.

I own a few weapons, but my favorite would have a South American made side-by side 12 gauge shotty.

Made for drug runners.

Short on the barrel (no duck hunting) beautiful craftsmanship, and quick to re-load. Stunning piece.

Swath,
I was engaging in a conversation yesterday which reminded me of your post...

One individual extolled the virtues of 30.06 over .308, and I asked if he thought the wild-pig downrange would know the difference.

http://hchq.biz/mia_photos/molonlabe.jpg
Hey, maybe she lives in an intrusive state like California where its hard to concentrate on shooting when everyone on the range wants to bother you and ask you whether your AR is ban compliant or not (I am not exaggerating).

By the look on her eyes, she appears to be confident with that "circumcised" rifle, and I am guessing that the tool of tyranny downrange won't care much more than would have the wild pig.

Yes, I comprehend the heat signature, NVG, and suppressor impediments inherent to the circumcised barrel, but if this young lady actually owns that AR, and also understands those words on her hat, then I am in love.

Besides, If she really wants a flash hider, I am fairly certain she can get one.

I really like this picture, and even if she turns out to be a CG machination, she is my new Super Heroine: Molon Labe Girl.

Understood. I was just pointing out the comedy of it. It does however beg the question, how likely is it that she would use a rifle to resist tyranny if she won't even refuse to comply with neutering the rifle. Not to say that this rifle is any less potent on a battlefield but the principle of it. She says "come and take it", well they have already taken some of it and she has let them, now they will likely take the rest and she will likely let them again. Or maybe her line in the sand is when they come for the fire control group or the aperture sight. Someone should photoshop an A2 birdcage and a bayonet lug just out of sheer principle.

For those who live in California, and visit public shooting ranges, this truly is no exaggeration.

On numerous occasions I have been at the range with perfectly "legal" firearms, but because someone at the range is offended by a rifle that they think is "illegal," they raise a stink, and the range master invariably shows up to scrutinize my firearms.

Any Californian who regularly shoots at a public range with what appears to be an "evil black rifle" must be prepared to spend literally one third of their range time answering inquiries.

This firearm has a ban compliant lower with a permanently affixed 10 round mag which necesitates that the rifle be broken in half and top loaded, and yet it still freaks out the golfers with guns because it has an M-16 upper.

http://www.hchq.biz/mia_photos/neutered_ar.JPG

Due to MANY overly curious (intrusive) glances at my firearms, including this one, I now cover the Serial Numbers with tape.

I hope you can better understand why someone in California who actually wants unmolested range time would circumsize their barrel in order to be "compliant."

[Expatriate]

Seriously? AR's have to have permanently affixed mags :):):) You're joking, right? I mean, that's worse than Canada. We are restricted to 5-round mags in Ontario, but at least they're removable! I heard of the pump-action AK before, is that so it can have a removable mag since it's not semi-auto?

Wow. I always thought you could own non-neutered semi-autos everywhere in the US but NY and Chicago. I mean, they're already neutered enough by removing the full-auto feature, right?

Is the un-removable mag supposed make it impossible to commit crimes with or something?

Dude, I feel for you. I understand that you can't just "pack up and move", but I couldn't live in a state like that.

I'm from Kentucky, and my brother and I went to Knobb Creek Gun Range (famous for the machine-gun shoot) today for some practice. Aside from basic common-sense safety rules, the only standing rule is you can't shoot at anything made of glass (there are a few others, but are based on common sense). You can fire anything in your arsenal, including a cannon or machine gun if you have one. And, you can shoot AT anything you want. Want to throw a propane tank out there and chew it up? Go for it. The freedom is awesome, and no one bothers you with digging questions. Lots of drooling and jealousy, but no bow-to-the-government-burr-up-the-a$$ shooters to bother you.

Again, like I said, I understand moving isn't always an option.

Its all about making sure that the public arm does not stand a chance .... What they do not realize is how many weapons there are already which are not neutered - even quite a few pre 1986 class weapons ;)

They want to turn our Country into a Socialist regime. Our founding fathers gave us the authority to POLICE the Government.

They are attacking our 2nd Amendment because that is what gives us the power to regulate.

Automatic weapons? There're very few of us here who are blessed to have such things. :) Most, if not all, of the "scary looking black rifles" you see in this thread are semi-automatics. Each shot requires one pull of the trigger. No different than many hunting rifles, aside from the looks and a few other incidentals (such as magazine capacity).

As for the "cammo stuff", each person has his own reasons. One reason is because it's fun. :D There are many other reasons, such as homeland security (militia), survival training in the event that our social order deteriorates, or in the case of a natural (Katrina) or man-made disaster, etc. Those who have firearms and know how to use them are less likely to become prey from looters and other threatening personages.

Dearest friends,

I will preface my response by quoting, IMO, the quintessential practical, pacifist, libertarian-founder, Thomas Paine:

I would gladly lay aside the use of arms and settle matters by negotiation, but unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my rifle, and thank God that He has put it within my grasp.

Like Mr. Paine, regardless of my religious belief system, values, pursuits and goals, I expect only one thing from my fellow citizens:

Polite, and respectful behavior, even in the course of passionate argument.

True to libertarian form, so long as my life does not negatively effect your life, live and let live.

The problem arises once my perimeter is breached (and truly it has been).

My privacy, my personal property, my personal space and activities; so long as they do not physically impede the liberties of others, are mine and mine alone.

I will share my wealth with whom I wish to share (Obama's brownies come to mind).

I will engage in conversation with those I wish to engage, and I will trade only with those with whom I have a trust relationship. I will use my own money, be it gold, silver or any other barter implement which I wish to offer.

Unfortunately, as has been alluded above, I have been greatly offended by those who wish to loot, impoverish and otherwise enslave me, and I have prepared accordingly to defend myself and my family, should that need arise.

I do not wish to kill, but I know how to kill, and if engaged, I intend to survive any onslought initiated by a criminal element, regardless of whether they are an alphabet agency, organized criminal element, or crazed (I almost said lunatic)psychopath.

My ability to kill does not necessarily dictate my willingness to kill, but when the need arises, make no mistake that I will do my best to complete the mission, and if necessary, I will kill.

In answer to the original question:

The purpose of camoflage is to either remain undetected, and/or effect the element of surprise (and thus tactical superiority), and no, I have never fired at a haystack; only wild pigs.

Well, if every Jew, Gypsy and homosexual in Germany in the 1930's had a couple of handguns or rifles laying around maybe some stormtroopers would have gotten shot. There was a reason they weren't allowed to own weapons.

Still, I agree, it would be pretty damn hopeless trying to fight the military our tax dollars pay for with the puny weapons they are nice enough to still let us have. America doesn't even measure up to Iraq where every goat farmer has a full-auto AK and RPG-7s are easier to get than air conditioners. :p
