How are the Tubes attached to the cummerbund/front bag? Are they slid in like the placard clips or are the fabric loops that hold them sewn around them so that they are permanent to the specific piece? I would assume the former is a better system but from all the pic's i've seen it seems like the latter.
Mines an adapter that attaches to the existing velcro of your cummerbund, though you can find others that are that minimalist three strip design. This is what I have on my ATS Aegis II :



You might balk at the price but trust me it is worth it if you actually wear your gear a lot.
 
It's weird, when you have no gun rights you end up less of a pussy crying about the rules and more serious then any group in America that's right wing.
For every P A Luty in Bongistan you've got a hundred Brits afraid of a pocket knife and thinking you're cosplaying as an American highschooler when you're holding a gun.
I think it takes a conscious disconnect from society as well as the commitment to go through with it, a "the world is your oyster" scenario if you will, hence most rebellion coming from the lowest of the low class criminals who have literally nothing to lose.

For every serious American capable of holding his own you've got a hundred "pro-2A" guys that weigh 300 LBs and don't even have a flashlight mounted to their gun or able to run 3 miles.

idk if the second part of this is supposed to be a potshot at the those who have a conscious disconnect or not, but if it is, a conscious disconnect from society is why people are here in the first place. This whole website is for people with a conscience disconnect from society. People can both be motivated to not cry about the rules/be in fighting shape and not just be petty thugs in a drug cartel.

Yes, the rare Philip Lutys of Europe are probably more ideologically motivated than your average gun owning American. What unique insight is being provided here?
 
To be fair, I don't think most people outside of first responders, mil, and cardio emphasis athletes can run 3 miles.

Honestly, most first responders probably couldn't run 1 mile let alone 3. You'd be surprised at the number of obese paramedics I've seen.

Nah, I mean completely cease participating in society - that kind of conscious disconnect. Think of a hobo with a sawed-off living in a park or niggers shooting into the air within city limits. Complete disregard for society as a whole and doing whatever the fuck they want because it's not like they lose anything if they get arrested or killed.
Your average Joe is comfortable with his life despite the day-to-day frustrations that add up and pile on, he's not ready to forsake the good parts because some pantshitting retard is telling him to get the jab or his gun is too scary. To stand up to that sort of thing is to accept that whatever life you have now is completely gone. To a crackhead/gang banger, he already has no freedom so his inhibitions are gone and his tomfoolery of shooting other crackheads/gang bangers just sends him through the revolving door that is our criminal justice system. The Tour de Capitol ruined the lives of retards just walking around and scaring people; imagine if you chose today or Tuesday to go out with a mind to change things.



On topic question:
I have no feasible way to purchase black powder over the counter, is it worth potentially getting put on a list for having it shipped if I want a musket? Muskets are bad ass and I want one to actually use.
If pyrodex is easier to ship I can also consider a caplock, those are cool too.

This country is in shit health.

I could run 3 miles but I'd seriously demand a blow job for it. I hate running, part of the reason I'm glad I never joined mil, I just fucking hate running. Only time I ever ran I dated a girl who ran track in college and she was just a little faster than me... that view.... oh sorry this is a gun thread.

A problem in the community, is people feel X is the line for firearms/weapons. Like oh you don't need X because why does a hunter need a AR? Or, a shot gun does fine for home defense and hunting! People who say this are either uneducated, or into one hobby enough to not see others needs/wants and respect others.

It's why we should/need things open, you may love guns as much as I do but never want a 12 gauge, or a AK etc etc. It's like anything else in life, diff strokes diff folks.

@WhoBusTank69 with out too much details where are you can't get BP? Even in the trying times it's easy AF to score state side. Also, you can have it shipped. If you aren't American, a few other posters could help you, but I'm a Freedomonia liver and I mostly could get most any powder even during shortages and anything not in store was online.

I own two BP fireams and would like to do more (esp a flint lock as both of mine are cap).

Lastly, so only for past few months I've asked and been retarded and planning and failing for a good upper build on my HD SBR canned AR, I just bought a 11.5" and will slap it on my gun. I'm sure I'll be happy if not I'll pull it and make some unholy lulz pistol off a cheap lower.

Freedomlandia as well, but in a shit part where the big box gun stores fled hours away and the smaller shops either don't know that black powder is still a thing or don't want to sell "explosives".

Do you run true BP or pyrodex in your caplocks? It's tempting to get the pellets for quicker loading, even if people give them shit for the cleaning additive.

I could barely run the standard 2 miles when I was in, and there were a few times it was close to being a no-go... unless I got all tweaked on caffeine, nicotine, and gas station stimulants.

After that I could do it in 12 flat, and somehow didn't have a heart attack afterwards.

I still haven't touched my Tennessee flintlock kit, haven't had the motivation or the time.

It's in .38 and I didn't get a bullet mold, as they were unavailable at the time. Might probably I'll just pay someone to finish it, but after that it'd just sit with everything else. Even though there's not really a shortage of ammo that I use (knocks on wood), it still makes me uncomfortable using it up. So I've ended up hoarding by default, because I'm still buying ammo out of habit but never shooting any.

The difficulty I've had finding the right powder (plus flints) makes it highly unlikely that we'll do much shooting anyways, and I'm just not set up for BP yet. One of the shop guys told me to check out reenactor suppliers, but they don't have the right powder. I need 3F for shooting, along with 4F for priming. And lead, and molds, and....

"A good rule of thumb on loads is to use the same # grains as the caliber to start. IE; a 45 caliber gun should use about 45 grains of FFF. Small calibers work best with FFF while calibers 50 and up work well with FF. FFFF is for priming only."

I’m surprised at the restriction on Pyrodex; I thought it had the same pressure profile as black powder. The fact that shipping and storage requirements are easier than black powder seemed to back up this idea that it is “safer” than black powder. (Speaking of which, am I remembering wrong, or did black powder get much more stringent regulations after 9/11? I thought it used to be more easily shipped.)

It’s be a while since I’ve shot my flintlock, but I’ve found you can use FFF for charging and priming (.45 cal.) FFFF may get into the flash hole easier but I didn’t notice any difference in reliability.

I'm pretty sure the restriction is primarily for Sitting Fox's smokepoles, and I assume that it's probably a good idea for older commerical & real period guns as well.

Nope, you haven't been Mandela'd. I briefly was into BP revolvers back in the day, and shipping/handling for powder was a lot more relaxed. I can't remember exactly what or when the scales tipped, but it was circa '09.
 
I love the wood grain on the last one especially. How do those stocks work with the buffer tube? I imagine you have to get something special figured out for that.
That's the Fightlite SCR lower, it replaces the buffer tube design by a short bolt with a hinge pin and bent tail in the back. The recoil system is angled and concealed in the stock.
It's kind of like the system found in semi-auto shotguns with traditional stocks.

Not as easy as a simple conversion, too bad. I might have considered giving it a try just to play around (they look nice) but no reason to if I have to buy a proprietary lower.
