I know when they first came out they had a reputation of being absolute dog shit rifles. They've probably significantly improved them by now. Shame they're only in 762x39.

a photo of "jungle mags" in the field that i have that is still relatively modern. note that the concept is what i outlined earlier - you had limited battle rattle and so you had a vest and a bag for your gear but for your primary you might jungle mag something just to get through a fight's initial contact, just enough to get your gear on or break off - but if it got to that then things were bad. it was more important to be low profile or that you had other gear on that took priority (PPE, wetsuit, sustainment, local clothing, et c). cropped from an old polaroid, circa early 2000's, although this was similar to the setup being used since the late 90's.
for people like contractors in later years, it was more convenient to do jungle mags and mag clamps for vehicle work than use drums or something, and they wouldn't have belt feds anyway, usually just AR's of one kind or another and their entire kit had to both be portable on their body while offering compatibility with vehicles and truck beds, et c, and jungle mags in that case can work because of how awkward it might be to swap mags when sitting down in a cramped space.

still using b-squared weaver mounts, i still have some of these. works great imho and i like the pre-set distances for eye relief on short dots.

My sister's birthday is coming up soonish, and I'm thinking of buying her a 10-22 receiver and doing a build of that with her.
Awhile back, after Bruen, I helped her get her carry permit and I helped her build an 80% Glock (back when that was still legal to do here).
I think a 10-22 would be a fun followup project.
Though (and I don't expect anyone to know the answer to this here, just thinking out loud), I don't know how the state distinguishes between a rifle receiver and a pistol receiver. The pistol receiver would be a regulated firearm and the paperwork becomes more complicated in that case.
This one seller I'm looking at says it's a rifle receiver and that's what I want. But is there any hard and fast way to keep the state from fucking me?
Do receivers have gun identities a la troon gender identities?

federally, a receiver is logged into the manufacturer's books as whatever it is. options include frame, pistol, rifle, shotgun, and the various NFA items. this is why a receiver booked as a rifle is always a rifle and required a tax stamp and form 4 regardless of what upper is on it. it is also why the form 1 is an "application to make and register" and NFA firearm. when you swap uppers and the new upper transforms the firearm to meet the definition of (example) a short barrel rifle, you are assembling or "making" the NFA item. many states use a firearm's markings and serial number to determine what it was originally manufactured as to determine what it is for legal purposes.
there are some interesting consequences of this system though. a pistol can have any barrel length, a rifle with extremely rare exception, cannot have a barrel shorter than 16 inches (as measured from a closed bolt, not including removable muzzle devices). an incomplete firearm is neither a pistol or rifle and instead becomes whatever functional firearm it is first assembled as and serialized as, technically. especially with the existing exceptions for home-made (and now called "privately made") firearms. namely that something that is marketed/sold/produced/distributed as a "frame" is generally considered a handgun/pistol incomplete firearm (but still regulated as a firearm), and a "receiver" is the same but for a rifle/shotgun/other. multi-part or modular "frames" or "receivers" have new definitions and rules that apply to the complete assembly separate from the incomplete assembly (sub assemblies, components, et c).
Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
On May 7, 2021, the Attorney General signed ATF proposed rule 2021R-05, Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms. The goal of the proposed rule is to ensure the proper marking, recordkeeping, and traceability of all firearms manufactured, imported, acquired and disposed...
you can always ask the manufacturer/police/department of justice (or equivalent) to check a given serial number and what it's booked as. there's no harm in checking this and it might help you avoid acquiring something that you don't want. the ATF uses the manufacturer's books as the ultimate fact though, and together with its current configuration to determine legality.
to give a concrete example, in CA, when i manufacture a rifle, i book it as a rifle even if it's just a plain receiver. this is because the receivers are marked after finish machining and usually it's fulfilling a specific sales order where i know what it's going to be. if the customer reconfigured it into another legal configuration and sold it, when it goes to the state, they "update" the serial number in their ledger with the new configuration as part of the DROS process, and the ATF likewise gets the new info on the form 4473. when a dealer buys it from a person, they also have to book it in and part of that is filling out either the firearms transfer record or the requisite disposition eForm and that will have the details on the firearm as the ATF knows it (pistol, rifle, barrel length, color, et c). part of the Handgun Safety Act is identifying handguns and there's a little check box that you tick if it's a handgun or not. you get an error when there is a mismatch. physical inventory can also catch mismatches these days since it's mostly electronic now.

Yeah, Maryland probably defaults to this scheme, but I do know they also have their own separately curated list of regulated firearms with their own designations, sometimes completely at odds with federal law.
I experienced this firsthand awhile ago when I tried to transfer a Mossberg Shockwave into the state.
Federally the Shockwave is just a "firearm", not a shotgun but also not a pistol, because of goofy legal definitions.
Since it wasn't a pistol, I thought I was good to go. Normally in Maryland, you need a Handgun Qualification License to transfer a handgun. (Which is funny, because up until this point, I had already owned legal 80% Glocks. Because you need the HQL to transfer, but not to manufacture, back when manufacturing was still legal here.)
Except I didn't check the regulated firearm list. I'm guessing because of its length, they added it to the regulated firearm list as a handgun. Being on that list, it's not banned, necessarily. But that does mean the state considers it a handgun and therefore you need your HQL to transfer them.
The laws in this state are gay and you really need to dot your Is and cross your Ts when doing any kind of purchase or transfer.
That being said, they're often poorly written and full of loopholes you could drive a truck through, so if you do do your homework, you can usually get what you want.

Well I just did two days of dove hunting. My friend let me try his saiga .410, it did not like having one in the chamber with a two round mag so I just did two rounds. This is my first time using a .410 for dove hunting and I did not enjoy it. I got more wounds than outright kills which made me feel bad. Usually I just club their heads in, I do not like ripping them off like most people. It just feels weird to me when you grab their neck. I ended up switching early on to my trusty Remington model 11 12ga in the Kurt Kobain configuration. I also used two different 20 gauges my friend had. I did not buy a new shotgun like I wanted to due to other projects and purchases. I will probably go again before the seasons over, I would love to get my hands on a 12ga saiga as I imagine that would perform better. I hit the limit the first day and the 2nd I only got 8. I will be trying smoked dove for the first time, I'm sure it will taste great.

be glad in small ways: in CA it's considered a state-defined short barrel shotgun in the original configuration and must have the 18.5" barrel to bring up the barrel length (technically 18" is ok, but mossberg already makes an 18.5" barrel so they use that). an SBS form 1 or form 4 is functionally impossible to get approved in CA outside of specific circumstances or in a few counties/cities.

don't be too sure. if you can get a VEPR do it. i feel like i'm eating boogers having to fuck with my lynx 12. it's very dear to me despite this.
let me guess... the magazine wouldn't fit on a closed bolt? that's the first booger in your mouth. the next one is the gas regulator, replace it with an autoplug made by some stoner in a texas toolshed.

Went to the range today and shot a few hundred rounds. Supressor sights on the Glock took some getting used to but they held up well. My Swenson barrel also exceeded expectations. No malfunctions and it even ate defensive +p ammo without breaking a sweat. Also the Rossi handled .357 magnum ammo well and is an absolute joy to shoot. Can't believe I lucked out with a budget magnum.
Probably gonna sell the snubby Smith though.

i have a .410 and i think they are fun range guns, but for anything more than shooting cans, i wouldn't recommend one.
i tried skeet shooting with mine, and while im not great at it under normal circumstances i did so horribly with it that i legit made me feel bad. maybe if my gun had a choke on it it would help, but it is just too few pellets in a wide pattern to be able to break clays with.

Yarp, if i ever get one I will keep this in mind. I gotta SBR my Bizon build first and then do a colt mag AR9 SBR. Then I'll probably shop around for a saiga.

Haven't had a lot of experience with .410. About the only time I've ever shot one was in Montana at the cabin my sister-in-law had before she and her husband got divorced. Went out with one of my nephews to pop Prariedogs and Gophers with a little .410 single shot break-action, and it was perfectly adequate for that. Anything other than that and I'd definitely want something bigger.

I have a "second-gen" M10X-Z. Neat gun that's pretty accurate and super low-recoil (admittedly some of this is just because the gun is a bit heavy) for what's basically an AK-pattern rifle. The only issue I've had with it in a few thousand through it was forgetting to lock the charging handle in place once after reassembly and having to go hunt for it when it decided to depart the rest of the gun - otherwise, it's run like a champ for me.

Well didn't get any ammo for labor day, had other things to do tbh.
I'd think suppressing a SKS would be harder than a AK since it's barrel is 4 inches longer at 20 inches. But if you find a bubbad gun, go for it I guess
The SKS is fun, comes with a bayonet, and still has that classic feel while having some modern features. It's also a literal scaled down anti tank gun, so it's very strong.
Yes you can for the SKS.
Beautiful revolver. Take care of it. Have a S&W Model 36 J frame, it's younger counterpart. That colt should be a really good CCW.

You thought the Zip-22 on it's own was an abomination
Kalashnikov SR-1 and I would assume Saiga 5.45 with what I believe is a new Hexagon Tactical suppressor.
Enchanted AK with Runic dust cover and Leader Kit in an aircraft mount
I don't know what this is, it looks like a DSR-1 but I can't find a single image of one with a matching handguard
AJProducts "Combat Slide Stop", allows for the release of the slide with the support hand
AEK-965, experimental 23mm shotgun, KS-23 but with 4+1 instead of 3+1
Remember the Empty Shell LLC 5.56 "Microgun"? Well Empty Shell also tried to bring to market a bullpup semi auto shotgun (last update was 4 years ago) called the D12
Back in June, Centurion Arms brought to market their reinforced "V2" bolt, dual ejectors and a larger radius between the bolt lugs and the body. One day, no AR bolt's will be Milspec, everything will have Lobster tail extractors, dual ejectors, enhanced bolt lugs, cam pin holes to accompany enhanced campath geometry on the enhanced carrier.
Prototype AG-42b with Swedish K style stock
Radian Ramjet but integral, one day every pistol will be compensated unless suppressed
Speaking of everything being compensated in the future, below is a style of comp that while not very effective, would be easy to integrate into existing and future designs on the cheap, Lakeline LLC also sells them
I have been made aware of another proprietary Micro-Comp, the Vapor from Alpha 6 Defense, two part clamp on that is retained by a slot in the barrel that interfaces with a nub on the comp itself

LMT already solved the bolt breaking issue with the Enhanced Bolt years ago while keeping a standard barrel extension. Knights and now Centurion are doing it with proprietary bolts that require proprietary barrel extensions.
