I'm shooting anything tomorrow. There's always muzzleloader, and the rest of archery season, but it ain't getting any warmer out there. I'd rather not be out there, in a tree, in February.

Probably a C&R (Curios and Relics) license. You can only buy old stuff. There's a list somewhere of what you can buy.

Give or take. Figure in shipping as well. I like buying online. I usually know exactly what I want, and I don't have to deal with a gun shop guru's opinion on it. Besides, there are much better deals to be had online. You can usually break even, or close to it.

What's your budget? I like the S&W M&Ps for basic, no-frills rifles. Maybe something such as this. It's light, loaded up w/ MagPul goodies, and is easily upgradable. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/763/products_id/58560 http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/images/D11/58/58560.jpg -or- http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/images/D11/58/58561.jpg http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/images/D11/58/58561.jpg

Contact them prior to purchasing the weapon. Make sure they send their info to the seller. Once the seller has that info (they might already have it on file), buy your item from the seller. The item will ship to your FFL. You go pick it up, and fill out the normal 4473 form as you would at any gun shop. Pay your FFL his transfer fee (usually $20-50 in this area), and take your weapon home. Just make sure all partys are informed of what's going on before you start ordering.

Gas system is dirtier. The gas from the round travels down the barrel, up through a gas port (under the gas block) through the gas block, back through the gas tube, and presses against the gas key on the bolt; cycling the gun. Piston system is cleaner. Gas travels down the barrel, up through the gas port, (I get a bit fuzzy at this point), into a gas block, at which point I believe it pushes on a piston, which drives a rod, which pushes on the bolt, cycling the gun. The dirty/carbon gas never reaches the bolt, thereby keeping the internals cleaner. That's the quick and simple of the two. You'd have to shoot the ever-loving shit out of a gas gun, and never clean it, for it to give you issues. They work fine.

BTW, damn near any AR you buy these days will be sufficient. I can't really think of any 'bad ones'.

Looks fine, but it's a gas piston system. You could get the same gun, only cheper if you went gas/direct impingement. Do you really need a gas piston system?

This. It's a PITA, and also illegal (felony, I believe) if you're just doing it for furthering your personal collection. I plan on eventually doing it, but not until I'm completely setup for it. If you're doing it for personal gain, turn away now.

1 stamp for each item. Take possession or build it whenever you want.

If you are bored, and want to read more about it, here's some material for you: -NFA (Covers Title II items) = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act -Brady Bill = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Handgun_Violence_Prevention_Act -GCA (Covers Title I items) = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968 -Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (governs machine gun ownage) = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_Owners_Protection_Act That oughta keep you busy for awhile.

The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 put measures in place to make it harder for the common citizen to purchase/own 'unique/gangster' weapons. Basically, the government was trying to make it difficult for gangsters to obtain certain weapons (such as shortbarreled rifles/shotguns, suppressors, machine guns, AOWs, etc.). To do this, they made it so that the common citizen, in order to own such a weapon, had to jump through a few hoops. If you completed all of these tasks, you were issued a tax stamp, and you could now, legally, own such a weapon. Basically, the process is this: -Figure out what you want -Fill out neccessary Forms (Form 1 if you're building it, Form 4 if you're buying/transferring it). There are a couple routes you can take with these forms, but that's a whole 'nother subject. -Get CLEO (chief law enforcement officer) to sign off on form (if you go the normal route). -Send form + $200 certified check + passport photo + hardcopy of finger prints to BATFE. -BATFE will run background check on you -Wait -Wait -Wait -3-6 months later, BATFE should send back your completed form with an NFA 'stamp' on it; the $200 you paid was the 'tax' for the stamp. -Build or take possession of your new NFA item. It's giant pain in the ass, but usually worth it.

Because it's considered a pistol, and pistols don't have barrel length restrictions. Add a stock (or VFG) to it, and you'd need a tax stamp. Any common schmoe can own an AR-pistol.

I don't follow the comics, but who is Iron Maiden? All I know is that Olivia Munn is playing her, which is never a bad thing. :leghump:

A dog that chases quads/bikes is the most annoying fucking thing in the world. <== Hit cousin's stupid fucking bulldog, broadside, on my old KX100. 6th gear, pinned. It hurt - for both of us.

More to come.

Since you don't have anything specific in mind, I'm probably just buy a standard M4gery, some mags, and ammo, and go from there. Add accessories as you feel you need them (please don't rice it out).

Also, do you have a particular purpose for this rifle, or just because you want one. AR's can be build or bought in a multitude of configurations. -P.S.- AR-10s aren't always chambered in .308. Traditionally, I believe they were. But now, they come in all sorts of calibers, most based off the .308 parent case. Also, Not all .308-based ARs are AR-10s. DPMS (as well as a few others that run similar designs) has another .308-style AR, that nothing like the AR-10 series. Parts are not interchangable for the most part. I also belive that RRA is coming out with yet a 3rd style. Just an FYI.

You won't fit everything there is to know about AR's into one thread. Your best option is to go to AR15.com and/or M4carbine.net and read, read, read. I suggest browsing through the picture threads to get an idea of what you might like, if you don't really know what you want.

Speaking of 155lbers, did anyone else thoroughly enjoy watching BJ Penn absolutely toy with that faggot, Diego Sanchez? I loved that fight. Was hoping Sanchez would get his ass knocked out, but I'll settle for the 4" gash on his forehead.

Haven't really pursued it. I'll eventually do it.

Watch your mouth.
