Just spent three days on Capitol Hill working on some Great Lakes issues. As a side note, one Congressman, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin has taken a public position against the proposed ban on M855 ammo. You all might want to write your Congressman and Senators to do the same.

Just saw a white house shill talking about it and they said its being done "because so many police have been killed with this round".

If the mouth is moving then you can bet $$$ its a lie and this is a BIG one, not one police has ever been killed by this round.

OT: Forgive the question, but what is the point of an AR type pistol? Are they actually useful? The few that I have handled were unweildy, and the addition of a Sig brace just made them more so. If I wanted a hand cannon I'd get a D-Eagle or an Automag.

For me it is to defend myself and family against a tyrannical government if needed. We are not allowed to have SBR's in Iowa so the Sig PM400 is as close as I can get. If used a"intended" it is very unwieldy but from the shoulder it works just fine........................not that I have any experience with this method :whistle:
I love my AR pistol, it is accurate and with a surefire 100 round mag gives me lots of rounds to fling down range...they will have to pry it from my cold dead fingers if they want it. :usa:

He had special made carbide ''center punches'' made up to use as AP cores in home swaged bullets.
He shot 5 rounds at our backstop , which is a A-36 one inch plate at a 45 deg angle.
He had a nice ragged one inch group of 3/16 in. holes at 200 yards !
He is using a 30-06 as he says the .308 is too puny.
Think I will load them up, and save them ''just in case''


So, is he on this site? B)
If not, could you get his online info for me, or give him mine? ;)
I also have a 30-06 and would love to buy some and give those rounds a look see. :whistle:

"the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

I have handled the SIG and would not mind having one, in fact I think owning 2 could be a great substitute for upper body workouts at the gym, especially with JT's 100 rd mag. I may have one some day but the wife has made me prioritize my gun purchases and the SIG 'one armed bandit' has fell down towards the bottom...ESPECIALLY since I have a D-Eagle in .50AE (which I use as my concealed everyday carry. I love the look on folks face as I ask the question: I know what you are thinking, is he glad to see me or is he carrying a D-Eagle?

I havethis mental picture of you wearing shorts on a hot Texas day, and having that D Eagle in an inside the waistband holster. You sit down and that .50 barrel pops out the bottom of your shorts!

They may have backed off on the review but it appears the regulations have already been written;
