Illegals running around with $40,000 worth of ammo.

They probably have natives but it for them and smuggle is through reservations.

Anyway, on much more uplifting news


PSA just announced the JAKL 2.0

VERY.... interesting. Instead of sticking with the AR lower they're going with a proprietary lower with 2.0. it's an ambi lower which is nice and still takes AR grips, FCGs and safeties.

I think it looks better.

I don't think the new 2.0 upper will fit in an AR lower..... Sad

The charging handle has been slightly moved back and now has a spring loaded flipper instead of the knurled knob (although I'm sure you could swap)

Overall 8.5/10 and I'll get hands on ASAP and see.

The only thing is it might kneecap the bullpup JAKL as they now have two different SKUs to cater to.
 
Temptation got the better of me bros, got the last VP9 Match upper off of CDNN's site.

$460 shipped. Now when I eventually get my hands on a VP9K, I'll have this to justify all of the non-k mags I already have. (well, and the P30 too, I guess)

Here's something I've been wondering. Is the burst fire mode on the Beretta M93R dependent on having the detachable stock fixed to it like the VP70s burst fire mode?

No, it's all contained in the pistol itself and can be fired in burst without the stock attached. As far as I'm aware, the VP70 is the only "machine pistol" out there that requires the stock to be attached to enable it's burst/auto function.
 
Diamondback is running a collaboration with Knights. Two Florida companies on the opposite side of the AR15 market. You'll get the Knights barrel blank... and that's it from Knights. The rest is just a DB rifle with Magpul furniture and an MPUS set. $1550 MSRP. I just don't know who's asking for this. Mystery meat BCG and the trigger is just milspec as well.
An SR-15 is $3,300~. You can buy a complete blem Geissele on Black Friday for $1,000. An LMT for $2,750~. A DI LWRC for $1,350. An HK for $4k+ PSA lower + BCM upper for $920. PSA complete for $400. Ruger and S&W somewhere between 600 and 750 dollars. IWI for $700. This just seems so awkwardly priced with everything on the market. There's already companies at every price range and feature set selling something. I don't see how slapping Knights name onto the gun part will make it sell like hot cakes.

Imagine not just buying a BCM or LMT upper and a mystery meat mil-spec lower with your trigger of choice for around $2k.

no, the disconnector and the burst mechanism itself is in the stock of the VP70M. the 93R uses a ratchet arm with lever and spring assembly under the right grip panel. i have both and they function extremely differently with the VP70M arguably being "smoother" although the 93R is both faster and sharper, lending it well to using it with a frame-attached suppressor and heavy action spring.
 
Remember that SHOT Show is imminent.

James Reeves footage on the
Kel-Tec PR57
Looks fucking smooth. I will purchase one for the novelty.

Beretta 80x in .32 ACP
I don't care too much but .32 is neck and neck with .380 in effectiveness so whatever. Last I remember you still have to use ball with both for them to be worth it.

Tikka Ace chassis rifles
Because everyone's putting out their own chassis systems. Looks bulky enough to not look as bad as other chassis systems so I don't mind it.

Armorer's Bench footage on the PTR-63(HK G41ish reproduction)
Paddle release with STANAG compatibility. Kinda neat but I still think PTR is stupid for not cashing in on the wide foregrip market. I don't want to burn my hand holding the rifle.

ETA

GunsAmerica footage on the
S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter
Big loop sucks dick and I hate people who push them. Still looks like a mashup between Marlin and Henry, though it looks better than both minus the terrible crossbolt safety.

Savage Revel
Savage products that aren't their bolt actions are cheap garbage. No further comment.

Biofire "Smart gun"
Their legal team is probably watching everyone that records.

32 is absolutely not neck and neck. 380 defensive rounds like Lehigh defense leaves wicked wound channels. 32 is a novelty and fun but hasn't had anywhere the advancement as 380. I say this as a 32 enjoyer with a few of them including one over 100 years old that runs like a champ. 32 is also expensive to shoot for its capability. Locally very little options in my experience. Love that Beretta is bringing back the 32 81 though. I have heard that you can take a 380 barrel and put it on a 32 81bb and shoot 380 out of it but I haven't tried it. Reddit says the 80x works with the old 80 series barrels too. Nice that means the new barrels would work with the original guns too


the best 380 on the market is the p365-380. Shoots like a 22. Fun little gun.

Don't forget to lube your boosters when you shoot a pistol with a can, people. My Glock decided it was time to LARP as Luigi at the range because every second or third round wouldn't cycle. Feel like an idiot for not keeping some CLP in my range bag.

Mrs. Ball's 84BB reliably cycles the hollowpoints we got her. Not sure if it's a worn in thing (it is definitely worn in) or not. Haven't done a wiggly gel test yet, but the hollowpoints seem to really have some oomph, so do the ball. I would love to get a little .32 pecker pistol though, Seecamp looks fun, a buddy of mine has one. But I am too fucking retarded to not break it. It's got stupid strict rules about how to operate the gun and if you miss a step, you risk breaking it and needing it serviced immediately.
 
Classic Firearms at the Beretta booth on Range Day
Mostly rehashing of old stuff, showing off new 92 raceguns and hunting shotguns. 20x and 30x are being pushed out. Still trying to get people to buy the PX4; I didn't mind the shape but the material's texture left a lot to be desired. Lots of aftermarket for the A300 / 1300 lines.

Forgive me, I'm still biased against them.

Magazines are also interchangeable. From what I can tell while the externals are somewhat different the internals are the same.

Beretta is bringing back the .32 Tomcat as the 30x, may be worth looking into. The old ones felt great.

Well shit.

You're not the cool guy who owns the titanium 93R, are you?
 
Former Daewoo Precision Industries, now SNT Motiv, is going to start up US manufacturing.

no, lol, mine's a fairly boring one from the late 1970's that was part of a batch intended for Italian law enforcement to replace aging M951R's in inventory. so mine has the Italian Polizia di Stato stampings, but lacks the acceptance stamp on the frame and nose of the slide since it was never delivered. it is not transferable despite being the correct age, since it was never registered as a transferable weapon - it's a "pre-86" dealer sample only. iirc the titanium 93R was made in the US as a post-86 sample based on blueprinting originals in Italy.

Oh fuck sold. I remember holding a K2 once and I was with a group of friends chatting it was mis labeled at 8k and I was like well this is dope I know nothing about it so I didn't think twice.

Later on that day I mentioned I saw it liked it but that's insane money... friend said I bet it's a typo.. Go back few days later see "sold" dealer said yeah it was 800.

FML. I need a k2.
