I load 29 grains H322 with 110 TTSX and my chrono says 2800 in my 6.8 stag. Thats plenty to drop almost every caribou or blk bear you'll ever see.
“But if it would help a tiny amount toward keeping innocent kids and honest folks safer in our country, Id give it up.”
Not me, but then I am not a liberal homo like this guy apparently is.
It's not called, "The Bill Of Needs" is it?
Oh ya, they were surplus Canadian military guns, Vietnam era. They are floating around all over bush Alaska. I luv the flash suppressor but man they must weigh 12 lbs, ones I have shot were quite accurate.
I think ol Seth needs to give up his snowmobile too.
After all, he doesn’t really “need it” has he ever heard of snow shoes? Jeeez that’s all you need.
Why go mucking up the planet with a snowmobile Seth?
Think of the Chiruns and the polar bears Seth!
Think of the Chiruns!
I'd like to know where these badasses are who would choose to fight for their lives with a snubbie .38 or a SxS 20ga.
I've trained with real-deal doorkickers, guys who've actually shot and killed people who were shooting at them, and they would NEVER choose to handicap themselves in a fight for their lives. As they say, if you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan properly.
We must have some hidden army of superstud metrosexuals, chicks, and politicians who are so sure of their gunfighting prowess with obsolete weaponry that they can mock the thoughts of combat vets.
The first question to any clown who says you don't need Gun X, Y or Z is "when was your last gunfight?" Hell, have you shot a gun ever?
To the uniformed about the Anchorage Peoples News, the ADN is the Berkely Barb of Alaska. Everything in that paper is leftist agenda driven. I subscribed to it one time and dropped it as soon as I could. The leftist slime from San Francisco has moved steadily north up the coast to Portland, Seattle, and has made its terminal landfall at Anchorage.
Yes, he seemed to defeat any argument he may been trying to make against owning them.
Parsing the author's language - yep. It would help a tiny bit. A very tiny bit. An unmeasurable tiny bit. Until the next incident caused them to want to ban another wave of firearms.
Now you need to figure that out again. Go back to the HTML sandbox or ask some questions. I've enjoyed your pictures here for years and don't want to see them end.
That would be an extremely large Caribou.
Weights of adult bulls average 350 400 lbs (159 182 kg). Mature females average 175 225 lbs (80 120 kg). The dressed weight of a 400-lb (181-kg) caribou is about 240 (109 kg) lbs. This equates to about 100 lbs (45 kg) of meat.
Caribou Hunting in Alaska

It does seem rather light for the bear. At least it is less than I want to carry for black bear.
A .45 ACP does a wonderful job of discouraging folks from entering homes where they don't belong. The added bonus is that it takes the same magazines as a 1911A1 pistol.
Go for the head shot.Effective and doesn’t ruin any meat.
That moron lost me when he called a magazine a clip. I hope he stays where ever Ambler is.
A friend who’s an Alaska guide uses .338 Win mag or .375 H&H for bear protection. I believe there is a minimum round for licensed guides.
Like dealing with a bad guy, ANY gun is better than none.
That moron lost me when he called a magazine a clip. I hope he stays where ever Ambler is.
And logically, if the author wasn't really just a shill for gun grabbing leftists, he'd be determined to keep his weapons if "it would help a tiny amount toward keeping innocent kids and honest folks safer in our country." And that is obviously the case. If he "gives up" his rifle he'll never have it if he needs to step up and save his neighbors, or some little kid from a pack of wolves, or a rioting mob, or an evil person bent on murder, or a terrorist attack, or even a tyrannical government. Any one of those reasons is larger than a "tiny bit."
Had citizens around the world been as armed as the citizens of the USA are armed today in the last century, tens of millions of people could have been saved from tyranny and execution. And if by dumb luck the author of the article had been standing in the school parking lot in Newton Connecticut with his "black rifle" in the trunk of his car, he could well have saved a lot of "innocent kids and honest folks."

Inch pattern FALs in 7.62x51?
the ol FN Fal, 7.62mm. We used that before we got the c-7. C-7 is basically an m-16 with modded bolt and semi or full auto fire.
