drones are CHEAP so trying to make a small survivable one is just not a good value
Yeah good point. For defending your property or local PD usage they still might not be cheap enough to be disposable, so I still have some hope for these markets that are severely cash limited.

I'd buy a $1500 property defense drone (I think a lot of people would, that's fuckin rad), but not the $10k big boy, and not the $200 exploding model because that's terrifying. Civilian needs/economics are different from the military, if we were allowed access to an equal market.

Outside of really major developments in material sciences it doesn't make sense to me other than we should do it because its cool.
Hey that's a good reason. And I agree the drone engineering itself is pretty good. Current integration with guns seems pretty bad though, strapping entire guns to weak drones is niggerbrain retardation, of course it works like shit.

I've been hearing a lot of scuttlebutt about certain elements of the government pushing to do away with NFA registration. Anyone have any insight or info about this? I assume is referring more to "common" items like SBRs and sound suppressors. I'm hearing this is coming from everyone from the Justice Department all the way to it's coming from Congress.

I assume they are talking about how the DOJ isn't fighting some 2A lawsuits thus leading to the plaintiffs winning by default and how there is some in the DOJ and congress that wants the DOJ to do the same with some of the NFA cases filtering up through the courts at the moment.

after the BBB passed with its $0 tax on SBR and suppressors the pro-2a legal orgs collectively sued because without a tax the NFA (At least on SBRs and suppressors) is not illegal and a defacto registration. remember, the only reason the NFA was allowed is because it was not a restriction but a tax. and the documentation wasn't a registry but a tax record. or atleast that is their argument.

anyway, if DOJ does not fight it in court the NFA basically gets repealed.

I would argue it's one step further than that, the DOJ and ATF can (and have rarely in the past) take pro gun positions.

IIRC the position here would be, "we can't force people to register with a 0$ tax because that would be unconstitutional" and then they just let you go nut to guts with getting NFA stuff.

There was also something along the lines of "congressional/legislative intent" Congress INTENDED for the NFA registration to be removed, you can't pay a 0$ tax, so when ruling or interpreting a case involving this, they should consider what congress "intended" to do.

The case AFAIK still has to work through the courts, but it just gets a little silly because both sides agree on what the outcome should be.


Anyone hear the rumor that Rarebreed bought the patent for the Super safety (from twin bros)

things about to get retarded y'all.

My gun shop is doing an engraving event where we get a discount, not sure how much it will be but how much do you pay for your NFA engravings? I've paid 50$ in the past.
my plan is to just get anything I could want to engrave for SBR stuff engraved

This also assumes easy access to explosives
Well, if the room temp IQ guys using WWI surplus rifles with dirt flooring to compliment their mud house can manage it...
I've never seen anyone seriously attempt to minimize mass.
We've beaten some points to death so I'll just say look at what Israel has done for the "nogs in my yard" approach. Your yard usually has some hard set perimeters so a RCWS turret is obviously the correct choice for such an application. To keep the drones in the conversation: Ukraine has developed a 6 barreled recoilless shotgun but it's not an autoloader and essentially functions exactly like "a claymore on a stick" would, except you get six shots. If you'd like to play the hard game brainstorming then look at those ultra small FPV drones. I believe they're something in the ballpark of 250 grams. You could mount a pen gun to one of these, maybe even a couple. However these drones can barely carry a separate action camera taped to them. If you want to think about mass reduction perhaps start with those. Any drone that can carry an autoloading weapon that already exists would probably be much better off doing just that. Unless you want to go the A10 Warthog route and make a gun and then build a drone around it. Not sure how you'd simulate everything but weight and aiming should be simple enough with mock ups.

seems expensive for civilians and attractive for theft, although a drone station has similar issues

this is probably too small, but I did say minimize mass :D
Any drone that can carry an autoloading weapon
yeah maybe this isn't necessary, cool examples, I had assumed multiple chambers would always be too heavy.
Unless you want to go the A10 Warthog route and make a gun and then build a drone around it
this was sort of the idea though yeah

This is what a Colt's Anaconda looks like after roughly 100 rounds of black powder cartridges. The gun functioned flawlessly and never became sluggish from fouling. I declare the Anaconda 100% BP compatible. These observations extend to the Python as well as they are now the same action (derived from Colt's Trooper revolver.)

Clean up was easy. I just removed the cylinder and crane assembly (one screw) cleaned with hot water and washed out the bore until shiny. No appreciable fouling was deposited in the action because it's actually pretty well sealed. Nor did any fouling reach the cylinder pin and ejector rod. took 10 minutes, and that was only because this was my first time cleaning this revolver with BP fouling so I was extra diligent.

How high does yours shoot? Tim Sundles(Buffalo Bore guy) pointed out how his shot high within ~10 yards and I noticed even with my rear sight snugged down(Wilson Combat of course) it's nearly six inches high at ~25. I have a feeling I'll have to make a tall front sight if I don't get used to a low 6 o'clock hold or put a dot on it.

I'm shooting about a foot high at 10 yards with my 300gr loads, but I haven't precisely zeroed the gun for this load yet so i can't answer definitively. luckily the front post is easily replaced so it won't be a problem.
 
and if you get a AR10 you should be able to get an 8.6 blackout upper if you want to do with 300BBC stuff.


Do you guys want to argue over .223 and 5.56 being not the same (they are)?
8.6 requires a different can than 300blk though so if you already have the .30cal suppressor that can make more sense. I love 300. I even bought one of those retarded BCA bolt-action uppers. It's awesome retarded (and stupid quiet).

[I had to use a folding-stock adapter just to extend the buffer cap for the MPX brace to work. The bolt travels about an inch past the receiver so a flat cap won't work. That adapter probably cost more than everything else combined :)]]

One of these days I want to either buy or build a .22lr rifle to be as quiet as can be. I'll either buy or build one of those 10/22 based straight pull bolt action rifles so it's compatible with the 10/22 mags I've bought and still quick to manipulate, and I'll only run it with subsonic ammo. I'll probably put a variable power scope on it for accuracy. I may even run a 5.56mm can on it for extra chamber volume. But it's going to have to wait a while since I just had to buy a new (to me) car a couple weeks ago after my VW died. But I basically want to do something like your rifle, just in .22lr.

Better find something with an action that's quieter than the average hammer fall, then. It's not hard to get a .22 quieter than the hammer, it can be done without a suppressor at all.
 
.300 is an absolute joke unless you run a very specialized build for a very specialized point of use.
I wouldn't call it a joke but it is without doubt a very niche caliber. I think it's very good for use in a suppressed SBR for 200m and in. I only run supers in mine; I don't see the point of subs for us regular folk.
If you go with .300, make sure to label your .300blk mags and store them separately from your 5.56 mags.
Couldn't agree more. I opted to use 300 only in plastic mags and I wrap a line of bright red tape around every mag. 5.56 goes only in metal mags and those get wrapped with yellow tape. Never had an issue doing it this way.
i'm back in my ruckin' era for fitness. I'm rockin the shield in my enigma is kinda really not practical since my ruck sack waist belt cinches hard over it. how much of a damn weird goon would I look like if I was rocking a duty holster with the ol glock 45 in it? This *is* Texas, so it shouldn't freak out too many people, but this *is* a college town.

Should I just not give a shit? It's going to be on the bike path that goes around half the city, way out of the way of any burbs or neighborhoods.
When I ruck in my neighborhood or in the foothills near my house I use a Gunfighters Inc. Kenai. Easy to hide under a light jacket or a flannel. No issues with discomfort.

Which Goruck do you have? I use a GR2 for up to 45 lbs. Anything heavier than that and my Kuiu is much better suited to the task.
While I would love for 338 ARC to replace 300 BLK due to the safety issues 300BLK has
What safety issues do you mean?
I suspect Glock knew this would happen and their whole "V" line was merely lawsuit mitigation. Probably someone like Clubby posted this same thought months ago.

If you want to stick with irons I suggest you purchase a set from D&L. I have a set on my Model 29 and they're far better than factory sights. If you need a certain height for your front you can have them custom made. They're not terribly expensive.

The fact that it’s a dangerous combination with 5.56.

Honestly for subsonics out of a AR-15 platform. 350 legend isn’t a bad choice. The head is the same dimensions as a 5,56 so you can use a 5.56 Bolt.The bullet diameter is actually .354-.357 so you can use a 9mm suppressor. The larger diameter means bullet diameter also means heavier bullets.
 
Been wanting a USP but not enough to like... go out of my way to get one. Just decided to wait, and just like Cobes always said, waiting patiently paid off cuz one was traded in at my local place I got for a steal.

Now to spend more on magazines then I did on the actual gun.
Yeah that's mighty fine, I just picked up my two tone USPC yesterday made in 2005 and brand new apparantly from a large batch of German leo trade ins. Fudds on the HK forums dont like the red importer name on the slide but I think it gives it character along with the JS logo next to the HK.
 
Duality Arms (formerly Wicked Arms Innovation) has officially started shipping out their Vector FRT (as of like last week sometime).
