      Thinking about building a PCC, AR in .45 ACP

      A couple of my AR9 builds. For blowback, The 2 most important things are the feed ramp/cone, and the buffer. I like Taccom and Macon barrels/BCGs, full stroke are a bit more reliable, short stroke cycle quicker, less gas to the face, and less dot movement. the 10oz KVP buffer feels good and...

      Thinking about building a PCC, AR in .45 ACP

      I was thinking About your builds when this came up, you do your homework on this stuff, and have some cool rifles to show for it. Macon makes decent stuff, their current AR45 adapter takes 1911 mags instead of UMP. Really wish someone would come up with a gas delayed blowback upper for PCCs...

      Va knife laws

      Yes, lots of BS with knife laws, in PA up till it was repealed, you could have an auto provided it was for a "dramatic performance". I joined kniferights when they started pushing PA to repeal the switchblade ban. They managed to end most knife restrictions in a single law and get it signed...

      Thinking about building a PCC, AR in .45 ACP

      There are a few people I know that built them, usually finnicky and underwhelmed. Seems the general advice is 9mm or nothing, especially with blowback. I would DEFINITELY look into something like building on a CMMG Banshee RDB setup, delayed blowback really shines in larger calibers. It can...

      Suggestions for a low powered, large objective rifle scope?

      This is the kind of stuff we always ask you:D The closest thing I have any knowledge of is Hog scopes, same idea, low light performance is critical, low magnification, large exit pupil. Not sure about any at 1X, but the Steiner GS3 3-15x56 and Trijicon AP 2.5-10x56 seem well regarded around...

      Va knife laws

      https://www.akti.org/state-knife-laws/virginia/ appears that folders including autos(thanks kniferights) are fine concealed, fixed blades can be openly carried

      Why Truncated Cone?

      They have been around for a long time, they tend to cut cleaner holes in paper, and feed well, pretty much Jacketed SWCs for semi-autos. They can potentially perform better than RN in defensive use, but the difference is minor, they do offer a slightly shorter OAL than RN profiles. It's part...

      Use Pinned Gas Blocks Exclusively?

      Nothing wrong with set screw or clamp-on correctly installed in the right application. Proper dimpling is key for set screws, along with torquing and high-temp threadlocker. Easy enough to add a pin if it is a defensive rifle, can cut a flat spot with an end mill if it doesn't already have one...

      MSP advisory on high capacity magazines

      pin, block, plug. "readily" is a grey area without much guidance by the law, and they admit the ATF doesn't define it either. One of those things that ends up being easy to charge, hard to convict. I know some just drill a hole and insert a roll pin, and the MSgestapo is OK with that, so...

      Fillet Knife and sharpening

      This is an older one of mine, stainless damascus over VG10 core. Paterned/etched damascus and hammered finishes are nice being the mild texture breaks suction a little when slicing through food.

      Sheetz is being sued for discriminiation

      There tends to be more to the story, or at least SOMETHING that might make sense in court filing, but not here, seems it might just be as it appears, Sheetz uses criminal background checks to screen candidates, there is no accusation that this is applied racially or unfairly, just that...

      Fillet Knife and sharpening

      I haven't used the good Victorionox knives, a lot more expensive, and simpler design than Yaxell. At a certain point the difference is mostly ergonomic and aesthetic. The Yaxell mon and ran are vey similar, pretty much the same handles, which are very comfortable and shaped well for my hand in...

      Philadelphia Travel

      The 2nd link contains wildly inaccurate information in regards to PA and Philly law, in fact EVERY SINGLE DESCRIPTION is wrong. this is a Philly PD cheat sheet of the UFA, notice all the "per case law" entries, those are related to instances where 2A folk successfully sued the city when found...
