I bought a Colt AR-15 Sport two weeks ago fixed rear stock with heavy barrel...just got 500 rounds of ammo to play with...shot it several times...brings back memories....

If you want one, better buy one before their listed again....

Hey Napalm, when did they start letting you Merrylanders have black rifles and buy ammo in bulk?     spyder

Optics:
For the 22 I have a BSA "Sweet' 22 (that is model designator). it is an OK scope. But I found that the 22 does a good job at 200 yards, so I plan on an upgrade and that was the gist for my Nikon inquire.
The BSA, although high power, doesn't hold zero.

For the 223 I have two 1 powers, a Trijicon Reflex and an Eotech on loan to see if I want to buy.

The Trijicon has a 6.5 MOA, so I have about ruled that out. Just doesn't work for with target practice. The EOTech holograhic is a 1 MOA item.

The EoTech is literally machined right on the other side of my office wall!

I have an Armalite m14A4T topped with a leupold 8.5 x 25 a good mid-range target rifle but
I can't wait for the GAP-10 in 6.5 Creedmor to arrive for long range competition.

Just read in paper this morning that Calif Sen Yee just wrote a Bill to present to congress which closes the loop hole banning use use of a tool, (Or Bullet Button) to remove Assault Weapon magazines. Of course all in the wake of the recent theater shootings. This will really suck for us Californians.  Anyone else seeing similar reactions in your state? of course Yee has tried this same bill several times in the past but now he has this shotting deal to back him..  And this time it looks like there is steam behind it.   ..      Just sent off another 100 bill to NRA...

what is the loop hole?

[cvobiker]

what is the loop hole?

California Assault weapon law has a provision allowing one to own and operate an Assault Weapon if the magazine can only be removed with a tool and law specifically points out that a Bullet can be considered a tool. So, some genius invented a simple magazine button guard you install over the weapon magazine release button. Once installed you can't operate the magazine release without a tool to insert into the new magazine release well, vaula a bullet tip is the perfect tool.  Check out the attached video which explains better.   http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/05/01/bullet-button-used-to-get-around-california-gun-laws/

OK, I know about the bullet button, didn't know it was considered a loop hole. Although, and I am not in agreement with the whole concept, I can see where that magnet adapter could be a real stickler.
Surprisingly, 3000 miles away here in Jersey I have seen one of CA rifles. My local dealer had one shipped by mistake.

Don't know much about black guns except i like them.

I own a S&W ar-15, stock unit except for red dot optics. I hope to obtain the mp-22 version very soon, been shooting allot of 22's lately, 200 bucks for 5k rounds how can ya go wrong. I've got some nice 22 plinkers in my arsenal. the 22 round is underrated IMO.


shoot and shoot often

Spyder,

When the Feds ban on assault rifles expired....in Maryland,you cannot buy clips exceeding 20 rounds (you can posses magazines greater that 20, go figure)....most assault type rifles purchased in Maryland are handled like pistol purchases, 7 day wait.

The one I purchased has a heavy barrel and fixed stock, so it is like a hunting rifle, bought it & carried it out the same day.....

Sad to say, I found out about buying ammo on the internet and having it shipped to the house from the news media covering the Colorado shooting...didn't know you could do it....do now and have had two shipments arrive...

Plicking away...

The magnet is considered perminat, thus Illeagle. However, you can buy a index finger glove having the button imbedded on the glove making it handy to release magazines with a bullet button. The loop hole allowing us Californians to own black Guns is our savorior, otherwise we are screwed. Bullet Buttons are also available for AK47's, although a little more PITA to operate. What part do you disagree with?  I don't like idea of having to use a bullet button, but it's been better than NOT enjoying our weapons at all.  I'm certainly not looking forward to dismantleing two AR 15's, one AR 10, two AK47's and two AK74's...I,ve got a slew of other long guns that I enjoy but I can tell ya, nothing is more fun thana weekend with family target shooting with our black guns...

The whole idea of having to use a tool. No different the the stupid idea of having to have adjustable butt stocks pinned here in Jersey, or the threaded barrel 'cause we might put a james bond silencer on it and make a whisper quiet .223 capable of taking out targets at 2000 yards.

For that matter all the silly parts of the anti states, NJ, CA, NY, CT IL.

We can't have an AK. Can't even have a 60 year old M1 Carbine! And my local dealer has two that every time I go over and pick it up he smiles and says "you can't have that"
