Hey. If you're going to be retarded, as you are, I don't see why you should be calling out someone else.

>>113311
Yeah.

>>113309
seconded

haven't seen you fucks in years

So, since last I saw you post....

Lost 100 pounds.
Got married 4 years ago.
Got diagnosed diabetic going on 2 year ago now, which I find hilarious because I had already lost the weight and had quit smoking cigs.
My wife almost died twice.
We've lived through 2 miscarriages, one in September, the other this past February.
Dad died of Pancreatic cancer just a little over a year ago.
Lost my mentor back in 2016.

It's been a wild past several years.

I was never an important enough tripfag for you to notice me, but as an impressionable scrawny 16 year old nerd you shaped my taste in women forever.

Also do you still have Heroin and Morphine saved anywhere? Any plans to start writing again?

What state are you in and are AR's an option, cause Mini-14's suck and "reliable" and "M1 carbine" don't belong in the same sentence.

The old Mini-14's had a reputation for terrible accuracy but I guess the new ones are better. The rock and lock magazines hook onto a little post in the forward end of the mag well that can be hard to engage.

I don't have much personal experience with the M1 Carbine, I'm basing my comment on Karl from InRange TV's hatred of them.

My go-to for Granny Home Defense Gun is the Ruger PC Carbine in either 9 or 40.

Pros: Can mount red dot sight, flashlights, and take Glock mags. Fairly inexpensive, I got a used one for $425. Good training gun thanks to less muzzle blast than an AR. Barrel takedown is a nice feature.

Cons: They're heavy, have a surprising amount of recoil due to the straight blowback mechanism, and 9mm accuracy past 100 yards can be wishful thinking. Optics are mounted to the receiver while the barrel is detachable, so it's return to zero is questionable.

For home defense, you want a gun that's smaller and allows for maneuverability in tight areas, like around doorways and down hallways. Longarms and shotguns are not well suited for this and intruders in the dark can grab the barrel and make for problems. Something like an inexpensive .22 LR revolver is handy, the flash won't blind you, the report won't deafen you, and the little bullets won't smash through a dozen walls in the neighborhood.

But some people just like carbines.

I have an old Marlin Camp 45 that loads cheap Colt 1911 magazines, but the prices of these old fun .45 plinkers are getting ridiculously expensive.

The 9mm CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine has good reviews, but costs around $1000.
The Beretta Cx4 Storm and Kel-Tec SUB-2000 are a little cheaper.
And the Hi-Point 995TS is the cheapest of the 9mm semi-auto carbines and reviewers have actually described it as reliable, accurate and comfortable to shoot.

- Ruger PC-4, the .40S&W version of the PC-9.

An AR-15 is not an option here. Modern production Mini-14 rifles are about 2 MOA accurate, and reliable. Modern production Auto Ordnance M1 carbines are supposed to be relatively reliable, and about as accurate as the Mini-14. The primary concern as regards reliability is the magazines- some magazines work, some don't, I'm interested in any experience people have with magazines that work and that I can afford to buy like 6 or 7 of at the same time. Capacity for M1 carbine magazines would be 30 rounders, Mini-14 I could either go with 20 or 30.
>>113397
If I were to get a pistol caliber carbine, I would consider a hi point, unfortunately they're illegal here. You know, because of the scary assault pistol grip.

  >>113398

Your options for RELIABLE mags in my experience, is the tapco Gen2 (metal front locking tabs) and the Ruger OEM metal mags. If you have patience and are willing to tinker, pmags can be cut to fit in a Mini, I don't know about the reliability of this solution long-term.

Sayin' be so?!? World o' inequities and chicanery it is!

The two fellas in George who got into how water for blasting that nigger who attacked them now have the same attorney SoL had

Arsenal SLR-106 UR pistol in 5.56x45mm NATO.
Anyone used these things?
Fun to fire or range toy oddity?

>>113190
One of my range buddies had a AK pistol in 7.62x39 with a muzzle brake on it. Holy ballsack was that thing loud. The brake would blast stuff off tables.

No recoil. Fun as hell to shoot. Completely useless.

>>113189
Looks awkward, impractical, even ugly.
I want it.

>>113191
I can see an AK pistol with a folding sto--, uh, I mean, folding "arm brace" having considerable practical value as a home defense firearm. With a good brake you could get some pretty nice split times at HD distances, I betcha.

>>113258
I could see a short 7.62x39 being alright for use in a vehicle.

I have an AR pistol with brace that I keep accessible from the driver's seat back home in 5.56 for that, but keep it loaded with 62 grain Federal Fusions for windshields. I suspect a .30 caliber would have less trouble punching through and being adequate for the ranges it would likely be used at.

Based.

Tell the tykes to carry wrenches, instead.

Automotive side glass is tempered, like in this video. That acted more like laminated windshield glass.

I'm mostly curious about how they managed to get it past regulations, from my understanding all cars nowadays are bland and uggo soapbars because of pedestrian crash safety ratings, but the Tesla truck looks like a sword on wheels.

>>113183
What is that range though, towing a maxed out load, in the middle of a midwestern winter night?

Looks ugly to me. And useless really.

>>113214
Some day, someone will use a Tesla truck to build a technical, with rockets and gatling guns.

And it will be AWESOME.

SCA is the common one, but MS is the other likely option, one of those is a bit scarier than the other.

If it's SCA there is a really promising possibility of treatment with CRISPR in the relatively near future.

Update on my wife:

>2 steel plates in her arm
>insurance is fighting us on the hospital stay (broken arm surgury is an outpatient procedure according to them, and low potassium after surgury is apparently not a reason for the hospital to keep her after surgury, eventhough the doctors made it very clear she wouldn't be released until her potassium was back to normal levels)
>insurance is NOT fighting us on the air ambulance bill. I was legit surprized by that.
>took over 30 days to get the crash report, and the officer must have been drunk when he was writing it. There are multiple mistakes on every page of it. Lawyer is aware of this.
>other driver was apparently doing 5 over the speedlimit, and 30 over the "safe speed for conditions"
>report says my wife was making an unsafe left turn, and the report is wrong about WHERE she was turning, by about 150'
>GAP coverage and Insurance both FINALLY came through, so my wife pulled 3k from her trust fund (her mom died of cancer, and was smart enought to set up trust funds to keep medicaid from eating her kids inheritance), and bought a replacement vehicle
>she is back to work fulltime

Thank you all for the well wishes!

>>113193
Oh fully aware. It is mostly a joke.

If she is probably going to go out before you, than make sure you make the time she has left as awesome as you can.

I think I have cried for every pet I've ever had, when they die. This must be how elves feel about their humans in fantasy novels.

Part of why my will is so detailed it because I have possesions that I know my wife doesn't want, but that some of my cousins and friends will want. Anyways, stay safe on your deployment.

Thanks for the update. Hang in there!

Hope your woman heals up and makes a full recovery.

yeah I'm not too enthused about this development

>>113151
Yep, shit sucks. Every political cycle whoever is in office fucks it up so bad the other side wins the next time.

I'm dealing with California bullshit now. Most of my rifles are disassembled until I can make them "featureless" and gasoline is 2 bux a gallon more than the east coast.

GOP fucked this one up. 27 uncontested districts. Even worse, was one of them was a known pedophile. Should have been an easy win, but noooo.

Eyeballying storage in WV just in case.

I moved to VA not too long ago. Similar deal to OP. Wife got into grad school in the area and fortunately I found it relatively easy to find comparable work. Similar exposure to the college campus and well-to-do environment too but I'm keen to remember that it's a large state and it's major metropolitan areas that typically lean left are few. I don't advocate for either mainstream political party because bipartisanship is a false dichotomy only subscribed to by non-thinkers. I think the Republican-leaning constituents were lulled into a false sense of security by who occupies the White House and the party responsible for preventing that laziness failed to do so.

I've already started looking at investing in more magazines since that always seems to be a "feature" the gun control movement likes to target. I may look to increase my ammunition stock too since there's so much talk of limiting those purchases or making them restricted to FFLs. I may look to invest in more stripped (or 80%) AR lowers to make builds easier in the future without breaking the bank now, but that also assumes uppers don't become controlled. That said, I think I have my bases for AR uppers covered for any possible barrel length and popular caliber but investing in more is a relatively simple way of flexing more capability out of one gun that doesn't show up on "gun purchase" statistics.
