I think the problem with Gauchos was more that Berretta bought Taurus and killed the Gaucho because it was competeing favorably with the Stampede , at the time. I have a pair of Gauchos that have done well for several years.
Imis
Taurus has always been owned by a Brazilian Company.

It's an interesting thought.
Which would be more painful? The recoil? Or the explosion?
The recoil. The shrapnel from the disintegrating cylinder would probably miss your support hand index finger if you wrap it around your strong hand & not parallel to the cylinder.

To widen the channel the replacement bridge should be suspension type.
Also like oil tankers to eliminate dangerous navigation issues with loss of maneuvering power with large single screw vessels ship assist tugs should be required to navigate confined or congested waterways. Since the Exon Valdez incident tankers are required to have tugs when navigating harbors & bays. When this requirement was instituted the marine transportation companies that provide ship assist services replaced their conventional tugs with tugs with azimuth drives, Z-drive or Voith Schneider drive. If conventional propulsion it takes twice as many tugs which doubles the crew cost. Voith Schneider drives change the thrust direction 0-360 degrees in seconds. A Voith Schneider drive is cyclorotor which changes thrust direction instantly. A Z-drive is like an outdrive except the lower drive extends through the hull & rotates 360 degrees to provided thrust in any direction.

Actually... it's my understanding that this represents more fun than most of us guys are allowed to have.
At least in these parts....
You've lived in Kalifornia long enough to legally own a pre Roberti-Roos AR like the MSR in the case.

I have never seen a Glock 18 fire in person, let alone actually ever seeing one, but I have seen plenty of videos. I am guessing that the illegal “Glock Switch” would allow the Glock to cycle at the 1200 rounds per minute speed.
For orneriness I considered buying one and trying it out, but I wouldn’t want to;1. Mess up one of my Glocks.
2. End up in da joint.
Here is a site that sells Glock Switches (supposedly) and parts to make your AR full auto as well as components to use solvent traps, fuel and oil filters as Silencers. They also sell various barrel adapters.
I found this site with 2 seconds of doing a DDG search for “Glock Switch”. I wouldn’t doubt the FBI, ATF and other alphabet agencies monitor this site hoping to catch a headline grabbing gangsta big wig. All the while allowing small time hoodlums buy up this stuff in the hopes of pushing for more gun control laws by scaring their useful idiots into voting for D’bags.
The ATF have been showing up to people's residences who have bought, solvent traps & bushing adapters with female barrel thread to male oil filter thread. They will also show up if you buy DIY suppressor kits if you don't haven't received an approved form 1.

From what I understand it's not illegal to sell them or buy them but you just can't use them! I'm not sure though!
On 3/20/2024 at 6:52 AM, sassnetguy50 said:@Cypress Sun @Rye Miles #13621 possession of a part that converts a semi auto to full auto or burst fire is regarded the same as a machine gun by the ATF. They have prosecuted makers and distributors of said switch for manufacturing and distribution without doing the machine gun paperwork. Then gone after buyers from the shipping records. I haven't read of any buyer who refused to hand over the switch nor who was charged yet.
Chicago is sueing Glock for violating a 2023 state law. Shouldn't the PLCAA of 2005 block the suit from ever reaching a court room? Or does it have to go to court for the judge to throw out the suit?
I believe that it is only illegal if you own the conversion part(s) and the gun that if the part(s) are installed in fires more than one round with a single operation of the trigger without reloading.
P.S. The "smart" gunsmiths to gang-bangers buy $175 3D printers & download CAD files using a proxy server in a sketchy eastern European nation.

Absolutely correct, the Navy also tried Croton oil amongst other chemicals to try to get sailors to not drink the torpedo fuel.
Reference:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_juice
Does anyone have the recipe for "bug juice" ?
My brother in-law told me bug juice was made with water, any fruit available and sugar. I don't know if baker's yeast is added. The concoction was placed above the ovens in the galley & left until the bubbling stopped. On the Ranger he packed parachutes & filled aircraft oxygen tanks as well as occasionally hitching a ride on an A3. He became the chief of his section when the previous chief was given a section 8 for using a tug to destroy a geisha house. With my brother in-law you have to take his stories with a grain of salt. He is prone to embellish his stories.

what they drank:
WW2 [til 1943): Once the ethyl alcohol was collected from the MK14 torpedo, it still tasted like pure grain spirit. To counteract this, they would simply mix it with a 2:3 ratio of pineapple juice to make it enjoyable. The creation came to be known as Torpedo Juice.
1943 - end of WW2 Mk18 torpedo (electrical torpedo) - to overcome the lack of Torpedo alcohol, sailors had to resort to stealing from the communications guys using denatured alcohol to clean equipment.
Homemade: If you’d like to create this at home, simply get your hands on 180 proof Everclear and pop open a can of pineapple juice [2:3 ratio]
retail vendor
Torpedo Juice Pineapple Vodka — Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery
Denatured alcohol is ethyl mixed with methyl to make it more toxic. Filtering it through a loaf of bread to remove the methyl alcohol is a wife's tail. Distilation will separate them. However impurities will be left in the liquid.

This will impact state and local as well. All I can say is it is about time .
SCOTUS in 2022 & 2023 took a big bite out of Chevron in 2 decisions, WV v. EPA & Sackett v. EPA. WV challenged the Biden EPA reinstating a rule that existing sources had to use EPA specified technologies to reduce air pollution. WV challenged the EPA regulation as exceeding authority given the EPA by the Clean Air Act. Sackett involved the Clean Water Act Waters of the US interpretation that followed justice Kennedy's concurring opinion in Rapanos v. US. Until in 2023 Sackett v. EPA opinion federal courts follow Kennedy's concurring opinion rather than the plurality's (signed by 4 justices) which was more limiting than a nexus. In both the 2022 WV case and 2023 Sackett case chief justice Roberts wrote the majority opinions which spanked the EPA. Roberts cited the previously ignored "Major Questions doctrine. If the executive branch interpretation of law increases the scope of law it is unconstitutional because this power is reserved for Congress. Sackett limits a water of the US to those that continuously flow on the surface into a body of water that eventually flow into a body of water that crosses a US boarder. This means that a lot of wetlands & vernal streams that the EPA has been regulated have become a state only regulated per the 10th Amendment.
During the 202-2024 SCOTUS session they will hear Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. This is the case that constitutional scholars have been saying will be the knockout blow to Chevron.
P.S. The Chevron opinion was so wrong because other than violating the Major Questions doctrine it violated the Rule of Lenity which has its' origin in centuries old English Common Law affirmd by 9th century US jurisprudence.

The Numrich exploded view diagram of the 999 shows the firing pin as a separate part. Besides replacing the firing pin it wouldn't hurt to replace the firing pin & center pin catch spring & to be safe the firing pin retainer pin.

That thing with the big wheels that they drive over the asphalt to flatten it - that's a steamroller. I'm sure it hasn't been steam powered for close to a hundred years, but it's a steamroller.
Just like that woman over there with the badge in the gun and the handcuffs - she's a policeman.
Neener neener neener.
Steam Roller is the name used by the public. The paving products mfg's & contractors haven't used that name for them since reciprocating internal combustion engines replaced the steam engines. They are "Tandem Vibratory Rollers". Check this link out https://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/compactors/tandem-vibratory-rollers.html

When we moved to Dead Broke Ranch in Jan 2013 (retired so skedaddled out of Kommiefornia) we kept our iPhones & 925 pre fix phone numbers as well as Verizon because they have the best signal coverage in Fallon. At the time the neighbor who was retired & looked out for security of neighbor's property was old school & didn't pay for long distance service asked that week get a landline. When he moved away to vagabond visiting old friends he made when cowboying all over the west we dropped the land line. We kept the DSL internet service. The copper cable between the fiber to copper box two miles away was degrading the local phone co. installed fiber in our street to the fiber in the main cross street & they sent postcards to all the residents on the streets where fiber was installed announcing that if you signup for fiber service running fiber to you house would be free even if you didn't have copper run in flexible plastic conduit. The run to the box on the house is 1,200 ft. from the connection box on the street. Needless to say I signed up online for TV/internet bundled service that. Besides being cheaper than Direct TV plus DSL. internet speeds are faster than the LAN speeds at the co. when I retired on 12/31/2012. Also, no more pix-elating watching TV during weather or I can also watch streaming services.

I will be watching with the misses. I used to watch the Raiders & 49ers including preseason. I favored the Raisers until Al Davis made them the LA traitors. However, at one point in the late 90's I'd stress about the 49er's when watching their games. So, I stopped watching the Raiders & 49er's games except for post season. The misses still watches most games.
P.S. My daughter has been a 49er's fanatic since Steve Young was the starting quarterback. Her husband has been a big Raiders fan until the Raiders moved to Lost Wages. Now that the both Oakland sports teams will both be in Vegas when the baseball venue is completed he lost any interest in the A's & Raiders. He has forever boycotted the baseball & football teams across the bay.

That was blocked by a judge yesterday and most places no longer do the background check... at least until the state gets another judge to block the block....
The CA DOJ notified all the registered FFL's & CA Ammo sale licensees that the they are not to follow the state regulations re ammo sales. The CADOJ has appealed to the 9th Circus for an stay of St. Benitez's permanent injunction.
Based on the court's history of a majority being knuckle dragging hoplophopes they likely will further delay granting full 2A rights to citizens & legal resident aliens residents by granting a stay like they did to end freedom week. St. Benitez's opinion decimated the CADOJ's briefs saying the pre 1868 analogs were either not analogs or analogs are not acceptable because they violate the 14th amendment by being discriminatory based on race, religion or slavery.
P.S. CA & other states have used these 14A violating analogs exercises in other cases.

Texas Lizard
At least in IL you can own an SBR if you have an FFL 3 (C&R FFL). In CA you can't own any NFA item. Being that I have family & property in CA & one is a cabin in the boonies north east of Lakeport I usually bring CA legal firearms to shoot with family. I can't bring into CA my AR's, HK91 clone, suppressors, nor ATN thermal sight.

Plus 1 for bgavin Buying a factory handgun is typically cheaper than a major customization & you get a factory warranty.
In brown bear country is appears the G20 is very popular for bear protection. They hold 15 in the magazine & when an angry griz comes charging out of the brush you can put more rounds in the bear. For me the only problem with G-locks is the grip angle. The are clone mfg's that make 1911 grip angle frames.

There is simply penetration.
If it won't go through drywall how is it supposed to stop a threat? If your state would not let you hunt deer with it its probably ly not going to stop a 200 pound intruder.
I second Blackwaters sentiment if I am in fear for my life I am going to use it regardless.
From the YouTube penetration tests I've viewed the cartridge the penetrated least were 12ga bird shot & 55 grain 223. 223 does go through one interior wall but only dents the next sheet it hits. That suggests using 5.7X28 for a handgun if one is worried about over penetration in home defense situation.
Also, unless you use a reload formula that has been ballistically tested how can you be sure of the real world situation performance. The cost of factory self defense loads is well worth the peace of mind. Even though my nearest neighbor is 450 ft, away my the G19 I keep at the front door in a shelf gun hide & the 4 extra loaded magazines a filled with Winchester 147 grain Silvertip. The misses & I practice with 147 grain FMJ.

Ain't it funny that its a States Right to determine Abortion and the guidelines for allowing it.
BUT, when it comes to guarding our boarders, etc........ our Govt don't like 'States Rights' law.
..........Widder
It is an enumerated power of the federal government to control immigration as well as protect states from invasion. However, Should the federal government not perform its' enumerated duty to defend a state from invasion the state can defend its' self. The question is does the situation on the TX boarder legally an invasion?
Another question is can the federal government enter state property wo/permission from TX or court order.
