Law enforcement back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s also had a thing going about reduced penetration with rounds like .223 Rem and .243 Win on sniper rifles. After some bad shoots where the rounds failed to penetrate common barriers anybody in charge with any sense went back to .308 and usually...

Use in non-semiauto friendly areas. Lever guns are also a good choice but the supply of affordable, quality ones seems to be very hit or miss now and long range was never the lever guns forte in the first place.

No, it’s a FedEx thing. I’ve routinely received FedEx packages that said signature required and never signed for them. They were just laying on the front porch. I saw the FedEx guy a few months ago drop one off and he was walking to the truck and signing the signature pad himself as I was...

Don’t you know mullets are back in style? They never went out of style where I live.

The rich kind.

MP5’s are cool! That should be a good enough reason right there. Didn’t the FBI buy a bunch of semi-auto MP5’s in the late 80’s for field agents?

Try a Rossi 92 or one of the Italian import Winchester copies. I have a 16” barreled Rossi and it’s pretty fun to shoot and handy out in the field. The heavy Bear loads from HSM, the Buffalo Bore Heavy or the home brewed equivalent is pretty close to standard pressure .45-70 loads in a much...

It probably shoots great when you got the suppressor and night sight on it. Not going to replace my current stock with a LSS-XL for sure now. Any idea why they didn’t just cut the original contour barrels to 20” and put a more precision oriented chassis on it?

Remington varmint contour barrel?

Any pictures of the new configuration? All I can find when I googled it were the old Remington/Winchester rifles and the box stock HS Precision HTR’s.

look like this?

Why? Makes perfect sense to me. The only way it could possibly make more sense is if it was integrally suppressed.

I had someone at a gun shop offer to sell me his personal 97 Black Diamond trap gun for the same purpose years ago. I told him he was better off finding a collector for it because it was worth more to a collector then a brand new Chinese riot gun copy. He ended up selling it to a guy a couple...

Sounds like the LE chest rig but I don’t remember it being made without PALS webbing.

A very accurate and cogent statement on the gist of the article. Pretty much all Canfield said was: 1. In World War 2, Army Ordnance and the USMC Quartermaster thought specially selected and tuned Springfields would be more rugged and could shoot about as good as a rack grade M70 target gun...
