This is very nice. Needs no federal tax stamp is around 26 inches long and carries 30 round 556 mags. It can be had for about 800 bucks. I think it would be s fun toy and could be used in some extreme personal defense situations.

I work in the Bronx, the toughest boro in NYC, but feel no need to carry or have a gun in the car. At home---I'd have to unlock the safe to get a gun---then run upstairs to get ammunition if I wanted to "greet" someone.
Again, this is not being judgemental---I just can't connect on this. Are your neighborhoods that dangerous?
Not a fan of the 5.56 out of a barrel that short, 10.5 is as short as you should ever go as the ballistics stink the shorter you go to the point a 5/56 will tumble, or not even poke a hole in a human due to such a short barrel.Quote:

I've got a 300blk AR pistol, it fits into a small day backpack and legal under my CCP with a Trijicon MRO and it's good out to 300 yards for 2 legged critters.
The guys who built my AR Pistol are in Texas, small gunshop with some major business and HUGE customer basis.
They came out with this video about a year after my build, I don't have a can or that stock, the stock they put in it makes it a SBR and not a pistol. I've got the LAW folding adapter and a Shockwave Technologies Blade Pistol Stabilizer so it's not considered a SBR, but a AR pistol.

Late night shows get out after midnight, not letting age or physical limitations stop us from doing what we want...will stay out of known bad areas, but if there is a show or anything we want to see/visit....Quote:

Same at a club we go to, bouncer was having a hell of a night and he recognized my hat & we chatted, since then I've taken a couple drunks off of his back as he's doing his job...he's prior service Army and we just click. No free drinks or anything and it's legal to carry a concealed weapon in such a club so I'm legal & drink Diet Coke while the friends and wife have adult beverages. Have even pulled a harmless beggar off a cop a few shops down from this club, cop was talking to him as he was pissing in a door, he turned around and jumped on the cop like a monkey spider looking for he rodeo. Cop went down, Spider Monkey was freaking and screaming, hitting, spitting and kept going for cops gun....so I did what I needed to do and then the turd was looking down the muzzle of my pistol. Had to do a statement and got a lot of thanks from the cops....
**** happens, do you run, ignore or be active, I'm not looking for trouble, hate it, but not food for thugs and not going to let them stop me having a good time.
Dave in all actuality it is not so much about protection as it is the enjoyment I experience with my weapons. I like all different kinds and this is one that is unusual compared to what I have. So no I don't live in fear of my life, no I don't live in a dangerous neighborhood, but I do like weapons a bunch.:help:Quote:
