Something with better performance and penetration than m855. (like some Barnes TSX or Sierra match)
It's not so much the pistol brace guys, but its the dumbass, let's write a letter to the ATF to ask permission or the even stupider, you can't do that and I'll prove it by asking the ATF guys.Quote:

As I recall, the dicks ad is good through 2-21.

I understand the issue with the ban; I was just intrigued by the comments of those who bought some because they had zero on hand. If I used that logic, I'd go broke in record time.
Just leave it in the steel. I bet some noobs would still buy it because "OMG GREEN TIP!". :DQuote:

The downside is that because of the steel penetrator some private ranges won't let you shoot it because it will damage the range targets. I have the same issue with my mil-surp .30-06: shoots through everything I shoot at. But so does my 7.62X39 at most ranges. What are you going to do.
I like it. But if someone has some M193 and will trade me two for my one, great. If not, no worries, I'll keep shooting it where I can.
If there's a market cheerfully accept their money. I'll wait till 2nd wave of panic buying. THEN put what i have for sale at some low ball price, oh the cries of unfair pricing. Oh My.Quote:

I know there are folks here that are bitter towards Jensens (at least one person anyway), but they have lots of the 120 round ammo cans of 855, $64 and change.
Not if you had a few K's in bulk bullets to load up..............[Coffee]Quote:

now certainly places like od green supply (RIP) charging a dollar a round for 7n6 can suck it, and i will never shop there. but its certainly their right to sell it at whatever they deem to be the market price. if they don't sell it at that price, they go out of business, as they did. same for people here. they can ask $3 a round if they want, who cares? if someone will buy it, might as well get the highest price possible. if they won't, then the seller can either lower their price or simply not sell it.
i bought 223 years back for 20 cents a round, can i now not sell it at a higher price without being a panic seller or price gouger?
I've learned, albeit apparently belatedly, that the correct grammatical term is "neckbearding".

ABSOLUTELY. BUT don't bitch about price gouging. THEN list AR Bolts (ONLY) for $85. [Sarcasm2]Quote:

I've done quite a bit of research into plates (no real or even pretend research on my part beyond Google) and much of it started from Mick Boy's work gear thread. https://www.ar-15.co/threads/110033-...-(what-and-why)
From what I've read, M855 is the best 5.56 for defeating ceramic based armor plates and XM193 is the best for AR500 based plates. I know this is somewhat simplistic and I'd own AMI plates if they made XL but there seems to be a reason for m855.
Either way, please flame on and help me refine my understanding of 5.56 -vs- body armor.
The biggest issue I see with the price gouging is I feel like we are eating our own. We are gouging fellow 2A lovers. It's no wonder we can't band together and get anything done when we would cut each others throats. It's not like we are screwing liberals here, we are screwing ourselves.Quote:
