Chronicling the depravities of the State.
No not paper magazines, firearm magazines. It’s no secret that I have a huge love of 3D printers. I think it’s awesome being able to take rolls of plastic and print out useful objects. Sebastian has apparently been working on the idea of printing up some firearm magazines and has posted some initial schematics.
This is an awesome proposal for the use of an awesome technology. I’ll be excited to see how it turns out.
I have a Beretta Cx4 Storm in .45 and absolutely love it. Beretta released the Cx4 Storm as a “patrol rifle” (the label given by police for rifles incorrectly called “assault rifles” by anti-gunners, it makes the polices’ rifles sound less scary) and shares magazine commonality with similarly chambered Px4 Storm pistols. I’ve always been curious why Beretta hasn’t released a select fire version of the Cx4 Storm as it would make a sweet little submachinegun. After long last they have released one, the Mx4 Storm.
I think it goes without saying that I want one. Sadly as a lowly peasant I can’t legally own such a rifle.
Well I’d take three if I could legally own them. A Germany company named SIGG produced a full auto rear plate for Glock pistols that is supposedly universal. I’d love to go to the range with a full auto Glock 30SF. Why? Because it would be wicked cool and I don’t think my 30-round .45 magazine would last that long (which is cool).
If only I lived in a free country where we could legally own fully automatic firearms.
Are you a real operator? Can you operate the in most extreme conditions this side of the Mall of America? Have you performed a HALO jump through the skylight, rappelled down to the ground, and uses your SCAR 17 to take on dozens of evil terrorists? If you’ve answered yes to these questions you may be ready for the dual Glock machine pistol because handguns are only effective if you dual wield them and nobody would carry a non-automatic handgun into their zone of operations.
Yo dawg I heard you liked guns so we put a gun on your gun so you can shoot while you shoot.
Will the railed mounted Saiga shotgun be the hot new accessory for the true operator’s arsenal? We shall see. Also note that the rail mounted Saiga has rails leading to the potential for infinite recursion of firearms mounted on firearms.
Well it seems the anti-gunners are taking a liking to calling standard capacity magazines MASS MURDER MAGAZINES (it must be typed in all caps). Interesting marketing name but something with such a name really needs a warning label. Thankfully gun rights advocates are more than happy to help lazy anti-gunners out. Because of this generosity Robb has once again made an awesome logo. Behold the new warning label for MASS MURDER MAGAZINES:
Damn that’s bad ass. I wish I could get it printed on a t-shirt. Oh, wait I can!
Via Jay over at MArooned I came across a review of the Chiappa Rhino.
In case you haven’t been paying attention to the wheel gun industry the Chiappa Rhino is a revolver that shoots from the bottom chamber instead of the stop. This is supposed to reduce recoil which all reviews I’ve read so far say it does. Everything I read about this gun makes me want to have one more.
Coming from the “because it’s there” department we have this amazing contraption:
LaRue Tactical is now selling a kit to convert a Ruger 10/22 into an arrow firing rifle. It replaces the barrel with a heavy profile barrel that can only chamber .22 blanks. An arrow is inserted into the barrel and a .22 Blank will propel it at 435 ft/sec.
Crossbows are for chumps… chumps without a .22 chambered stake driver. This thing should also be good against vampires. I’m not going to lie I kind of want one, just not bad enough for the $599.00 asking price.
The weather here in Minnesota has taken a turn of the warmer. Sunday it was a balmy 45 degrees out making it practically summer here. I decided to venture out and enjoy the fine weather by taking a trip to the range to test out my new PK-01 V red dot optic.
First off sighting it in was dead simple thanks to fact it co-witnesses with the iron sights. If you’re looking down the iron sights you just have to line the dot up with the stop of said iron sights and you’re most of the way to your goal. From there you just have to make slight adjustments to finish up.
The optic returns to zero perfectly when you remove and reattach it to the side rail. Some people like to attach a rail on top of the AK’s dust cover. The unfortunate side effect of doing this is there is a chance any sight attached to the rail will not return to zero when you remove and reattached the rail for cleaning. The AK’s built-in side rail greatly alleviates that.
Due to my very poor red affinity the dot practically vanishes when placed over white paper on a bright day. Thankfully in those situations I can just use the iron sights. For most people this shouldn’t be an issue though as most people probably see red better than I do.
The optic has a 1.5 MOA red dot meaning you won’t be completely eclipsing your target at 100 yards or more. Beyond that it’s a typical red dot optic. Once sighted in your rounds hits whatever the red dot is covering. I don’t know what else to say about this thing at the moment but long term testing many reveal either problems or praises. So far I like it.
Wyoming’s House of Representatives just passed a law that would bar employers from firing employees for storing their carry piece in their car while it’s parked on their employer’s property. Many states already have similar laws in place.
This may come as a shock to some people but I really don’t like these laws. No I’m not all of the sudden going to spout bullshit that some forms of gun control are necessary, instead I’m going to proclaim my hatred for government telling property owners what they can and can’t do on their own property.
If this law had applied only to government entities I’d be all for it. The problem is it applies to private land owners. When I own a piece of property then I can make the rules, that’s what we call private property rights. The second somebody comes along as begins to tell me what I can and can’t do on my own property (so long as it doesn’t harm another person or damage their property) it is no longer my property.
Although I find the right to keep and bear arms absolute I also find the right of private property absolute. If somebody doesn’t want me to have a firearm on their property that’s their business and right as property owner. I’m sure this isn’t exactly a popular opinion to have with many of my readers but alas most of us who fight for the right to keep and bear arms also advocate for government leaving us alone. Once we allow and condone any government action of regulating private property we open the flood gates for them to do even more regulating.
