      ISO Peter Bagnell

      Thanks all. Mark and I spoke on the phone yesterday, and he has my number if we need to follow up.

      Are auto-opening knives legal in MD (not OC or Bmore)

      My $0.02: Don't even bother with an assisted opener. Go for a knife with a wave opener instead. 1. "Pen knives," aka any folding knife without a switchblade, are specifically exempted from the "dangerous weapon" definition is COMAR. Since there is no spring in a wave opener, it is...

      Brass trade thread.

      I have half a bucket each of .40. and .45, looking to get 9mm. In Bowie.

      To build a legal AR

      Technically, yes, they should not be regulated. But like I said before, we don't really have any clear answers on the HBAR exception. Is it those 4 letters stamped somewhere on the gun that makes it an HBAR? Or is it the presence of a heavy barrel? I've seen anecdotal evidence that MSP...

      To build a legal AR

      You have to read the whole subtitle. I'm doing no such thing. Rifles are defined under the GCA '68 (in Title I) and SBR's are defined in the NFA (Title 2). Those definitions are exclusive of one another, both in how they are written (ie >16" barrel is exclusive of <16" barrel) and by the...

      Correct.

      To build a legal AR

      Actually, it does. (MD Code in plain text, emphasis added by me in bold, my commentary in italics) And just in case that's not enough, note that the entire subtitle is entitled "Regulated Firearms" - all it deals with are regulated firearms, and yet it includes the "receiver = the...

      To build a legal AR

      Also from that AG opinion: "The statute defines "firearm" to mean, among other things, "the frame or receiver" of a weapon that "expels ... a projectile by the action of an explosive." PS§5-101(h)(1)(ii). This suggests that the Legislature deemed the frame or receiver as a distinctive...

      To build a legal AR

      http://www.oag.state.md.us/Opinions/2010/95oag101.pdf "in order for a firearm to be considered a copy of a listed assault weapon, and therefore governed by the regulated firearms law, there must be a similarity between the internal components and function of the firearm in question and those...

      To build a legal AR

      Under Maryland law (specifically 5-101(p)), a "Regulated Firearm" is one of 2 things. 1. A Handgun 2. Any of "the list" of 45 named "Assault Weapons," or their copies. The AR-15 is on "the list," so it is by definition an "Assault Weapon" and therefore regulated. According to...

      To build a legal AR

      Riddle me this: If a stripped receiver is just a "firearm" but not an assault weapon, then why is it transferred as a regulated firearm?

      Looking for some SAPI plates

      Steel plates, while heavy, can usually sustain multiple hits. However, AFAIK steel plates will only be Level III, not level IV. Meaning it will not stop armor piercing or steel core rifle rounds. Level IV ceramic or composite plates can stop the AP stuff, but since every round is essentially...

      Remington UMC is some dirty stuff...

      I've shot over 5,000 rounds of UMC 9mm (the 250 bulk packs) in the last couple years. Not a single problem with accuracy or function. I can't comment on how dirty it is, as I don't track "dirt." It's not a very hot round, though. Chronos at a 125.6 Power Factor out of a 5 inch gun. Which...

      Hearing Protection Advice

      The Howard Leights are great for the money (and what I use), but if money is no object, the MSA Sordin's with gel pads are awesome.

      York 3 Man 3 Gun - Fall 2012

      We totally did that on purpose. Practiced for months. I expect "synchronized shooting" to be an Olympic sport in 2016. :D

      Thigh Rig Advice

      If you must wear a thigh rig, please do yourself a favor and wear it correctly. Travis gives a pretty good demonstration in this video. The whole purpose of a thigh rig is to allow your sidearm to clear other gear (such as armor) that precludes the use of a standard belt holster. In my...

      Offhand tips?

      I've also had this referred to as the "wobble zone." You accept that the sights will never be perfectly still, and center the wobble zone over your target. The trick is to then squeeze the trigger when you are ready, rather than trying to "ambush" a perfect sight picture as the sights wobble...

      What is your current & ideal 3-gun config?

      Furious George is correct. Heavy metal requires a single stack .45 for the pistol.
