Anybody get anything cool that is gun-related today?

That is that ugly bull barrel after I got done with it in my lathe.

Found this today at Dunham’s in Muskogee.
BTW they had lots of ammo!

Yeah, I love them. So much more useable than the little stock lever. There are a lot of them out there and I’ve read some bad reviews about some of the cheaper ones wiggling a little and just not fitting as well. These are both TacSol levers, I think my favorite of the two is the shorter one. View attachment 209387View attachment 209388

Thank you good sir I will give one a try.

I recently got two more Lancer 20 round .300 Blackout magazines, smoke colored.

Aren't .300 BO mags the same as 5.56/.223?

Goooaaal. Found a 60s-70s vintage game vest with removable/washable game bag in the back like new and the shell holder threads are not even stretched. Offered 8 bucks and the lady took it. The things you forget you need when looking.
Cargo capacity: 10 squirrels, 4 rabbits and half dozen doves. Ha.

5.56 mags work for supersonic (ie: light projectile shapes) for blackout, but not so great for subsonic heavy stuff.

Lancer Mags (and I think the Magpul blackout mags) have a slightly different follower and feed lip to let them feed properly with subs.

Ok... subsonic stuff being 1100-ish fps I presume.

What "heavy" weight bullets are used at that speed?

Also... are heavier bullets used to purposely help slow it down?

Lol, sorry... my mind usually starts running wild on acquiring new info.

Subs are usually in that velocity or less, I think some get down around the 950ish FPS. Subsonic blackout is usually 200-220gr range but I've seen some a bit lighter.
I'm sure you could work a load to get lighter bullets subsonic, but if you use heavy bullets at slower speeds, you keep up energy.

Cool, I didn't even think about the energy aspect.

Ha! What I don't know could fill a library (and probably does)...

Thanks for the info.
