Simply Stunning!!!!
- rezarxt - 11-07-2008
fucking right. beautiful
On a side note, the price of 7.62x39 and Im sure many other bullets/guns skyrocketed november 5th. Everyones going so crazy a lot of places are sold out of 7.62x39(I spent 3 hours looking to find it at $5.17 a box). Everyone knows what Obama is going to do so everyone is in a mad rush to buy before he takes office.
- CaptainHenreh - 11-07-2008
7.62X39 has been going up since the steel-core ammo was made illegal for import. That's the shit you used to be able to get for pennies a round.
Since I bought the SKS, WWB or Wolf has always been the cheapest, and it's not that cheap. 5 bucks a box is pricey, but not outrageous. If you pay less than $.25/round, you're doing just fine.

True but 3 weeks ago it was $4 for a box of wolf most places. Now its atleast $6 on most sites and and mostly sold out. I cant afford to buy in bulk right now so its annoying having it go up by 30-50% over night. Ill give it another 2 months to come back down though. $5 a box isnt horrible, but my dad laughs at me because he used to be able to buy it for like $2-3 a box at gun shows not that long ago. :?
- CaptainHenreh - 11-07-2008
Yeah, I mean, that sucks and all but X39 is still the cheapest shit going. (rimfire excluded)
Maybe when Obama pulls us out of Iraq there will be 5.56 surplus!
- Jeff - 11-07-2008
I've still got an unopened tin of Russian shit in the closet...I need to get some more X39 just in case though. I really need to get some bulk .44mag and .45auto also.
Nice AR Evan!

All right so some more AR-15 questions. There are a couple of different version with different calibers of ammunition (I've seen .40, 5.45, and the 223). What are the pros and cons of the different calibers? Which one(s) will have the cheapest ammo and most available parts? I assume 223 will have the most parts and ammo but where do the other ones line up? And I presume the smaller caliber will be accurate up to a greater range. Anything else you guys can tell me?

Can you explain to my wife why, as a good American, I should own a firearm?

Why doesn't she want you to own a firearm?
Anyway, allow me to quote myself:
CaptainHenreh Wrote:written during the AWB period, by much respected police officer Massad Ayoob:

It's an excellent defense of civilian possession of an automatic (I tend to use "machine gun" as the law does when referring to "one-trigger-pull:many bullets" firearms) centerfire rifles.
As gerald mentioned (and Evan made an excellent metaphor for) the Second Amendment is NOT about hunting. It's also not just about overthrowing a tyrannical government, it's about the common man being responsible for common defense: the unorganized militia, who in the end is responsible for his own safety, and, if he chooses, the safety of his neighbors.
To quote a section from the article above:
Massad Ayoob Wrote:At the time, the Japanese Empire certainly understood [the power of an armed populace] as it drafted plans to invade the mainland United States. In 1960, Robert Menard was a Commander aboard the USS Constellation when he was part of a meeting between United States Navy personnel and their counterparts in the Japanese Defense Forces. Fifteen years had passed since VJ day, most of those at the meeting were WWII veterans, and men who had fought each other to the death at sea were now comrades in battle who could confide in one another.
Someone at the table asked a Japanese admiral why, with the Pacific Fleet devastated at Pearl Harbor and the mainland US forces in what Japan had to know was a pathetic state of unreadiness, Japan had not simply invaded the West Coast.
Menard would never forget the crafty look on the Japanese commanderÔÇÖs face as he frankly answered the question. You are right, he told the Americans. We did indeed know much about your preparedness. We knew that probably every second home in your country contained firearms. We knew that your country actually had state championships for private citizens shooting military rifles. We were not fools to set foot in such quicksand.
The second amendment does not allow, but demands that the citizens be responsible for the safety and security of country and constitution, against enemies foreign and domestic.
Civilian ownership of firearms is a safeguard against Tyranny, and an effective means of protection of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Owning and operating a firearm is, frankly, one of the most American things you can do. It is a few freedoms we nearly exclusively enjoy compared to many other countries, and the framers of our constitution, having just fought a long and bloody battle against a foreign oppressor, knew precisely what they were doing when they set up the freedom to bear arms along with the freedom of speech and religion.
But I repeat myself.
