April 2021 Q&A with questions from the $5 and greater Patreon supporters - thank you SO MUCH for keeping InRange alive!
Timestamps are pinned to the top of the comments section courtesy of Höthö Ploink!
Timestamps:
0:30 Philip W - Do you see a large difference in contest requests between Patreon and UA-cam?
1:25 RGB - With the advancement of electronic sights what features would you like to see in a next generation optic?
3:36 Andrew H - How do you feel about modern "tactical operator" gun culture?
4:49 Mason B - What's your favourite double/single-action pistol and why?
5:46 Tim K - Given the amazing success that was remote brutality, yo you have any plans to run more remote matches for those of us unable to make it to the meetspace matches?
7:24 Justin - What considerations and methodology do you employ when indigenous history is involved in your projects?
8:56 Alan B - With the 35 year anniversary of the FBI 1986 shootout, what do you think of the current discussion on handgun rounds?
10:39 Bluejay - What happened to the breaktop revolver?
11:31 Babbelinfopocolypse (?) - You've been tasked with fixing the zip22, same external form factor must be kept but anything about the mechanism is free game. What would you change?
12:06 Carl V - The M16 rear sight handle had a provision to mount an optic to it which was done before the advent of a flat top upper reciever. Do you think it would have been feasible to change the profile of a forward part of the rifle handle to make it so that a rail could allow an optic to cowitness with the sights and therefore not change the ironsighting system on the M16/AR15?
13:09 Josh R - Thoughts of a 6.5 Grendel on a WWSD DMR due to the ability or due to be using a KP15 lower?
14:16 Stuka444 - With youtube doing weird shenanigans to some of your videos and the understanding that you have other distribution points for your videos, what is the plan going forward with posting videos on youtube?
16:37 Vercingetorix - Everything in the firearms industry seems to be derivativations of already existing products, rehashes of the past or other garbage. Has there been anything in the past year that has caught your eye as unique and functional?
17:58 Kevin T - Your suggestions for a low round count set of pistol drills to improve or maintain skills while ammo is so expensive?
19:01 James M - What situations if any would you rather have 7.62x39 over 5.56?
19:52 Jonathan G - I just bought an AR550 half steel plate target. I've read up on the correct angles and recommended distance but is there any other advice for someone who is shooting steel for the first time?
21:56 Jordan W - How would you describe the distonction between platforms or audience which allows you to keep comments open on youtube but requires disabling on bitchute(?) ?
24:00 Austin T - Thoughts on Radetec's smart slide for the glock 17? Do you see such a system becoming the norm 50 years from now?
25:27 Jeff K - Do you think the toxicity of gun culture past and present is a roadblock to gun rights conversation?
27:58 Craig S - Is handloading for 7.5 FK viable currently?
28:25 London Jolly - What yould you find more valuable, a diverse collection various types of guns, some decent some cheap, or a well documented and concise collection following a single model of a gun with every variation of said gun?
29:38 Matthias - I recall you mentioning that you enjoyed playing the game red baron as a child. Do you have any interest in retro PCs like collecting or storing and using old PCs and do you have a room full of beige electronics like I do?
30:55 Timo G - What is your favourite finnish cold beverage?
31:16 Jason M - Can we see an M1 Garand vs a 1941 Johnson on the clock?
31:34 Matthew J - What was involved in getting two gun matches started?
34:38 Travis R - Is slamfire a flaw or a feature of a pumpaction shotgun?
35:57 RedArmyReenactor - Of the single shot rifles developed in the 1870s and 1880s, which one do you think is best designed?
36:43 Chris S - Do you think matches like the first large "do it yourself gun makers" match in june will actually have an effect in reducing the negative stigma of DIY guns to the world?
38:30 Gerik (?) B - What yre your views on content creation and merchandising? InRange stays away from meme products but they seem to sell well for other people?
39:11 Martin M - Should we take a more active role in attempting to control the lives on antigunners, since they are so interested in ours?
40:21 Jordan W - If Cyberattacks are going to be the key of warfare moving forward, what type of attacks do you envision to be the most useful or most effective?
42:31 Henry S - I'm fairly new to the world of firearms so is getting burned by companies like standard manufacturing something that happens from time to time or is this unusual?
44:23 Erik L - In your opinion, would a barebone sten style semiauto PCC see success in the current firearms market?
45:25 Seth G - Do you plan to revisit having your own three gun match where competitors run a DMR, an infantry rifle and pistol?
45:59 Gabriel C - If you had to equip a random military with something that isn't an AR or an AK, what would you choose?
46:17 KayDC - What are some of your favourite western genre films?
47:55 Thomas K - Solid maybe for the DEFCON shoot?
48:26 N7 Shepard - With the continued push of censorship and your most recent shadowbanned video, how do you feel about people downloading and archiving your videos for consuming at a later time or for backup purposes in general?
49:31 Bryce D - Whats going on with the Levergun project? Will we see any other 1876 content?
50:13 Zeonart (??) - Do you believe that the drug legalisation reform supporters could be viable allies for the firearms community?
51:26 Colin H - Other than the Walker Colt, which old west gun do you think was overrated or recieves to much fanfare?
51:55 Gigantic Hawk's shadow ;)
52:21 Sam S - Where are you as of right now when you read this question for the Q&A video?
52:33 Jack B - You have often said that you set up your matches to be completed at a minimum with a stock AKM rifle. What pistol do you use a benchmark?
53:27 Joe S - If I recall you said before that you're completely against items such as the magpul BAD (?) lever since they require you to move your triggerfinger towards the trigger.
55:06 Erik L - In light of recent content for the modernisation of an older platform like the Vz58 video you did, would you review something like the Tecsight TS 100 (?) for the SKS platform?
56:04 David W Junior - Does it make a difference if I watch the videos on bitchute, patreon or youtube?
57:09 Teddy - Swapping pistolgrips on an AR - important force multiplier or pointless bangle(?) ?
57:59 Patrick H - Have you ever had yourself or seen a cartridge detonate in a tube magazine?
Thanks for your efforts , appreciate it
Sir you did the lords work right there
Thank you, amazing contribution!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Speaking of mud tests, has Karl and Ian been mud tested yet? Test standards will be; Ian explains the history and function of an obscure French weapon while getting covered in mud and Karl does an Old West Vignette again while being covered in mud
They used to make Ian get in the mud with the gun, they should bring that back despite it being objectively less scientific.
Check their OnlyFans
We did that only once.
I’ve stated that Karl needs to mud test the official InRangeTV mud.
Ive seen them 'Dust Tested'
For what it's worth, this is the first channel that I recommend to other left-wing gun rights advocates and people on the fence. It's a real departure from a lot of the commentary out there that isn't solely about function, when you venture into that. It's absolutely stupid and counterproductive how UA-cam gets all fussy about content that emphasizes responsibility.
Oh man, the algorithm does suck. But if you're reading this, know that you achieved victory when it comes to my viewership and patronage because of it - but not in the way one would think! I didn't get any InRangeTV video recommended to me or anything like that. What happened is that I went into the rabbithole of watching Deviant Ollam's talks a few years ago, prompted by one of his talks being recommended by the algorithm to me. I ended up writing his name into the searchbar and lo and behold, one of the hits was one of the Q&A videos you did with him! That's how I found the channel, and I've been sticking around ever since!
Thank you and welcome!
I managed to find both Karl and Deviant separately so it was a major squee moment when they first showed up together.
The Q&A with Karl, James, and Deviant was, (and I use this phrase rarely), an intellectual and scrotal masterpiece.
@@wingracer1614 Same.
I found Atun-shei for the first time after seeing his Q&A with Karl. Mash-ups just work sometimes.
Great show as usual, Karl. Thanks for being a level-headed voice in our community.
Thanks for listening!
Pov: you're listening to the local outpost banker read questions with his oversized radioactive caterpillar and drink topo chico
15 year ACTS guy here. We still love you dudes. Keep doing what works for you!
I also love seeing your scores posted with the old club format. We transitioned to practiscore a few years ago, but that old black background / color coded boxes is very nostalgic for me.
Other people's requirement for a digital sighting system: can it run Doom
Karl's requirement for a digital sighting system: can it run Red Baron
I friggin loved red baron! Still got the box somewhere...
I'm old and played red Baron
Your philosophy on freedom seems to mesh completely with mine. I can't justify supporting my rights while denying the rights of others. I've enjoyed your content for a few years and have learned from you although I am decades older than you. To back that up, I just visited Patreon to sign up as a patron. Thank you, Karl for the work that you do.
Mike
"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
Rights are rights, and they are not negotiable. Collective defense. An infringement on one is an infringement to all.
So true
Topo Chico, a man of culture.
Commenting for the algorithm I highly enjoy listening to karl answer these questions.
This video series is the penultimate moment for me every month.
#awarewolf
@@Mortarman0341 penultimate is not the high point. I suspect the commenter was referring to payday.
The second to last moment?
Ah! The Two-Headed Sonoran Snarkapede. I've never seen one so nicely taxidermied.
Rare indeed.
Hearing your opinion on trapdoor makes me desperately want to see a brutality match restricted to single-shot black powder variants. I think competition with trapdoor Springfields, Martini Henrys, Remington rolling-blocks, etcetera, would be AWESOME!
Working on something like that, actually.
I’d choose my black powder revolver over my modern pistol for a pistol stage that could be done with six shots.
I may get some flak from this but as someone who is more left leaning and progressive but supports gun rights it is really nice to hear from someone in the gun community who is not bashing everyone else. Thank you!
Just to note: Vercingetorix was the king of the Gauls who was defeated by Julius Caesar's armies in 52 BC. Given that he was beheaded (or strangled; sources differ) in 46 BC as part of Caesar's triumph when he returned to Rome, it's a little surprising that he's on Patreon now. The historians of antiquity couldn't agree on how to pronounce his name either (Plutarch called him "Vergentorix"), so you're in good company. :)
I've been watching this channel for years, and always wondered why I like Karl and his content. Now I know.
Love for Amiga and salmiakki.
I still have my Amiga 500, and tested it out last christmas (which is kind of a tradition for me) and it still works. Most of the discs have sadly died though, so I can't do much with it, but it works! They really knew how to make stuff last in the ye olde days.
Recently started playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 and these videos are just perfect to listen as I virtually haul my ass for 1000s of Km. Cheers!
Looking forward to the indigenous history. This channel always does a great job with less mainstream historical topics.
I watch this channel not particularly for the firearms content but because Karl talks informative sense in an understandable fashion with no side or shade thrown.
I cannot move my mind from the taxidermied guy on the table. We don't have those in Russia.
Arizona is a crazy place.
"You can't live and let live with bugs, Karl." Old west vignette, name that movie.
Tombstone, obviously. Bill Paxton as Morgan Earp.
@@InrangeTv I like The Missing as well, but growing up near a Res makes it hit just a little bit dark.
Starship Troopers XD
Kickass! Thanks for another great Q&A Karl, this brightened up my day, the outdoor aesthetic is always nice :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
So years back my boss told me a story about when he was the acting RO at some action pistol competition.
Long story short, a competitor was using a 45 auto and the steel target was dimpled by rifle fire so much that a 230 grain slug rebounded and hit right on the schlong hard enough to break skin. He crumpled up and hit the ground so fast at first they thought he was dead.
This will probably get lost in the comments, but Karl, regarding Question 2, I would recommend taking a look into the $22.4B Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) contract Microsoft just closed with the Army. It's basically what you're talking about - an AR headset loaded with features (including optional NVDs) that's ultimately supposed to help soldiers point and shoot at targets with floating reticles like in the video games.
Task and purpose just posted the "new" army enhanced night vision capabilities.
It's an integrated system , halo is now
We'll see how it works this time around. They have been playing with this concept since the 90s through DARPAs advanced warrior program, etc.
Q&A time. Awww yeah! The end of these always comes as a surprise, I just never really notice the time. Engaging stuff.
Range adjusted optics are the primary thing that interest me in the future of optics. Those already exist but they're still at a point where they're price is higher than the benefits it grants. As they become more common they'll get more practical and affordable.
"I like Red Baron over DOOM. You better not let Phagan hear you say that.
Have watched all you Q&A. Great stuff! but bring Ian back for a visit. You two have awesome chemistry together.
Ian is always busy with forgotten weapons. He is always welcome to go but is just too busy. Question comes up all the time in Q&A videos.
Red Baron was the most influential game of my life. The historical books that came with it sucked me in and I've been a WWI aviation nut since. It determined my college major. I literally worked for Fokker (it still exists). I'm so grateful that they included all those reference books. Red Baron II was even better with proper bound softbacks.
I love it when games provide an opportunity to learn about things you might not otherwise run across, e.g. the codex entries of Battlefield 1 hooked me and then my passion expanded to the ground and I started a WWI firearm "collection", hah.
Love the Q&A’s and Old West vignettes
Same
why did you answer 100% of the questions and just leave your co-host sitting there staring out into the desert? poor fella was so stunned he barely moved the whole show :(
He's quiet.
@@InrangeTv Just out of curiosity, what planet is he from, anyway?
Did he bring any of their cool kinetic energy weapons for you to review?
Karl, thanks very much for another interesting QA. This one covered a great variety of topics.
Automatic scope rangefinding and elevation adjustment would be a really neat thing if it could ever be made to be durable, reliable, and effective.
Burris has some scopes that do it out now I haven't shot them yet since they're still really expensive related they have some windage stuff in them too.
Really enjoy Q&A sessions, they are somewhat personal experience, like sitting in the small audience and questions come from the crowd.
Karl, thank you for another great Q&A.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s super interesting question about the different requests on the different platforms, but I can totally see how those would differ, man that’s interesting.
I have an ATN scope. The best use I've found for it has been; putting it on a tripod, linking it to a Tablet/phone, and using it as a spotting scope that can record shots.
As a scope, it leaves a lot to be desired where weight, reticle, ease/speed of adjustment is concerned.
The night mode is rather nice though.
You love your insight into the interface between politics and the digital world.
Thank you for your interesting content.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely enjoy these q&a sessions. 👍🏾
Glad you like them!
Topo Chico - better than a beer on a hot day. My waistline also approves.
What is it? Never heard of it or anything similar here in Italy
Incorrect. Nothing is better than a cold beer on a hot day.
@@stevailo it’s sparkling mineral water.
@@Samplehorse oh ok, definitely have it in Italy lol. I love it too.
@@Samplehorse actually, I don’t know if you ever tried it, but San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water, which I saw multiple times when visiting the US, is produced in Italy, 20 miles or so from where I live.
Always love to hear Karl talk frankly about the problems with toxicity in the gun community as well as the world in general. I'd hate a world without a variety of people and opinions, even ones I disagree with.
I love listening to q&a’s while I work. Thank you Carl for your insights
Thanks for listening!
I work at a hemp lab in ky, im always wary of getting pulled over with my carry gun, because of how the laws are. Its ridiculous that i should be scared of getting a felony and gun taken, because i smell like weed and might have a gram
It should be either or. Legal or not, regardless. Politics ruins everything. 🤷♂️
Too much freedom for some people to handle.
I loved our Amiga 500, it was the first Computer we ever had. Great thing!
I like the sig bdx line, low power, changeable drop, love the videos Karl.
7:25 Karl casts a subtle spell, maintaining his aura of light as he guides the way in these dark times!
Had no idea Karl was an Amiga fan. I miss the Amiga too.
The best!
My electrical teacher brought an Amiga to school one day, back when I went to school. She also brought an NES, Super Nintendo, and Commodore 64. We were all encouraged to bring old consoles and computers to school that week. It was really cool to see how drastically the technologies have developed over just a couple of decades. It was also really fun to get to play all those old video games in school.
I bought an Amiga after I left the USN, looking back, I was impressed with the graphics and the 8 bit wide architecture. Very ahead of the times.
My experience with libertarians was the opposite of your remarks regarding drug decriminalization proponents being forced not to support gun rights.
I found myself being shushed and told to be less vocal about the very cause of gun rights that brought me in the door in the first place and saw people like myself baited and switched into supporting marijuana legalization which I theoretically supported but didn't care much about and realizing that if the libertarians cared as much about guns as they do about unnatural sex and using drugs, the 86 machine gun ban would have been repealed by now.
Any interest on a shortish video on the origin and development (and lifespan) of Moon and Half Moon clips?
Just wanted to say, I like your content, can't wait to see more of whatever it is you feel like doing as its usually pretty cool.
Standard s333 news! Their website now blames ammo companies for poor quality control because of course they are blameless for their own. The also now offer a refurbishment service for the low, low price of $75 plus s&h and the cost of any replacement parts!
Yep. That's customer service right there.
What toaster model would you suggest for downloading and watching the content?

I was always under the impression that slamfire was mostly for market hunters, where simply throwing as much lead in the air as fast as possible ensures the most dead birds.
Slam fire has NO practical application.
Someone has to do it :D
Vercingetorix, pronounced Ver-sing-get-orix, it's the name of a tribal leader of the Gauls who led the final (unsuccessful) gaulic resistance against caeser.
Latin is not my game, but thank you.
ver-kin-GET-eriks
NativLang has a wonderful short about actual period Latin accents. Caesar's "Vini, vidi, vici" sounded a lot like the Grand Nagus of the Ferengi saying "weenie, weedy, wiki."
High King Godric became Vercingetorix to the Romans. Reminds me of the story Pratchett wrote about "your finger, you fool." XD
Also an interesting and rather tragic story. Anyone reading this that is unfamiliar with it, look it up. It's kind of like an ancient version of one of Karl's old west vignettes.
@@thatmckenzie True I guess, but almost nobody pronounced latin correctly. Like caeser itself for instance, the latin pronunciation is the same as the german Kaiser (thats where the german title actually comes from). People pronounce latin a certain way nowadays and Vercingetorix is one of those that has a current pronunciation that differs from the classical one.
I would be very interested in a comparison on the clock between a schonfield or any other top break Smith & Wesson and a modern, or at least more modern, swing out cylinder S&W (or any other manufacturer of course)
Thank you for the Q & A
I enjoyed this more than usual! Keep up the fantastic content! :)
Thank you so much!
I always learn something non gun related i didn't know about with your Q&A
What an enjoyable way to pass an hour whilst working from home. Will you be doing any more Old West vignettes soon ?
Yes, soon.
A good video is differences in out of time fire in revolver,out of battery firing in semi auto and chain fire in muzzle loading revolver which is more likely to kaboom a firearm and/or injure the shooter.
I have the Techsight for the SKS (the elevation adjustable one). I was trying to make a “poor man’s Garand”, but in the end I should have taken all that money I spent and bought an M1 from the CMP.
The sight itself gives you repeatable clicks, and for target shooting I greatly prefer the aperture over the notch sights. However... the first “complication” that I ran into with Techsights is that you need to extend the length of pull or else you’ll be whacked in the eye pro with every shot. I got a Timbersmith stock for this reason, and still needed to add a 2” spacer. Second is that now you’ll need a screwdriver to tear down your rifle for cleaning, since the bolt that attaches the sight replaced the disassembly lever. Also, the sight isn’t truly “return to zero”. It holds up well but over time it will get wobbly and you’ll have to retighten the set screws.
Personally, I feel the SKS is best left alone and accepted for its shortcomings. I’ve done all I described plus bedding the stock and I still get no better than ~5moa out of the thing. I’m gonna try reloading some x39, if that doesn’t work I’ll just have a “fun gun” for shiggles, plus the bayonet looks bad ass.
Lest you think Techsights as a company is a solution looking for a problem, I also have their product on my Marlin 60 and absolutely adore them. They’re pretty BA on the Ruger 10/22 as well.
BAD bolt-release is also very prone to breaking its roll pin or the casting for it.
so there's a 40 minute Old West Vignette coming out soon? That's about 4 times the usual length and I certainly will not complain about that.
The US Army is looking to issue their new integrated thermal/night augmented visor, they're looking at 1-2 units per platoon by the beginning of next year, and their new NGSW-Fire Control, which is a laser range finding, ballistic calculating 1-8x sight made by Vortex has scheduled block upgrades to link it to the integrated thermal/night vision headset, so the future of optics is slowly getting close.
On the Digital Sights and integration into a AR headset, Steiner produces a sight that can be linked, via a hud modual for their LPNVG, to a set of night vision goggles.
A 6.5 grendel wwsd wouldn't need anything other than a barrel change/bolt and the mags are ar15 profile compatible. It wouldn't really have any of those issues you're understandably hesitant about. Were you thinking 6.5 creedmore?
Yeah, I was. Still not interested. :)
BIG RESPECT FOR YOU AFTER THIS VIDEO ON CULTURAL ISSUES
Why are these my favorite inrange videos
Long form and conversational works for me. I donate to C&Rsenal for the same reason.
@@thatmckenzie yeah, me too. Plus he seems to make sense. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the content. I think one of the worst things in the tactical/firearms community is the need to attach one's ego to certain segments of guns. Like "im a 9mm guy," "well im a .45 guy," "well im a 10mm guy so......." Its like the identity politics of the gun world and it has the same effect, causing fractionalization, leading to bickering and stick measuring. If you arent in their faction for whatever reason you must be ignorant, weak or somehow insulting THEIR intelligence by disagreeing with their setup that they "run." (Run=shoot more photos of their "girl" for forums than bullets downrange.) The compensating and overcompensating to the point of impracticality contributes to this fractionalization.
Yeah. I'm me. That's about as far as I'm willing to define myself for your social convenience. 😎
Thank you brother, Great video. Hope you are doing well man.
Love your programs.
thank you!
That was a very good selection of interesting questions. Thanks!
Red Baron was one of my favorite games growing up, and Bone Tomahawk is easily one of my favorite movies.
20+ years ago (486 and Pentium era) I found a copy of Red Baron and loaded it on my son's computer. It appeared to be linked to the bus or processor multiplier timing and ran at several times the original speed. It was hilarious to see those wireframe biplanes zooming around at high speed!
Best take on gun rights. All rights are important, focusing on a single issue makes you blind to the other rights you're losing.
Some food for thought, solidarity with marijuana people might be a smart move for the gun rights crowd. As gun rights erode and marijuana rights increase, there's a growing section of people with knowledge and experience in surviving under ridiculous prohibition that can help soften the blow to people new to being marginalized by the law. Most of us school weed growers are firearms enthusiasts anyhow, so we're already friendly to the cause
Is that a Chtorr? (David Gerrold SF series starting with A Matter for Men)?
thanks for the content. always fun to watch.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Karl: I’ll build my own 2 gun! With grounding! And kettlebells!
Essentially.
I would assume that the slamfire "feature" of some early pump shotgun designs is just a quirk of the out of battery safety implementation in those guns. They just happened to use an autosear, instead of a firing pin block or whatever, I think some used both. I doubt the intent was to use it for rapid fire, and frankly doing so kinda takes a link out the safety chain in a gun that's already quite possibly worn loose enough to be hazardous to begin with.
I love anything from the old west. I just watched “Big Jake” for the first time last night...changed my life.
Can you please put time stamps in the descriptions? Thanks
Sorry, it takes a while for me to do it, many questions this week, they are in the comments now.
I always thought of that slam fire feature as being a last ditch thing like the enemies coming in to the trench your back is up against the wall and you just slam fire that thing and hope for the best
You’d still be better off not slam firing.
I saw in a video for Firearms blog, they were interviewing some developers from Sig talk about their MG68 and they mentioned that one of the requirements in the Army competition is the addition of a powered rail, Sig has a battery in the stock and they put power contacts in their 1-6 scope (with a battery backup on the scope itself). That leads me to believe that Sig will put out a powered rail for their red dots and electronic stuff one day.
Swinging steel at 600yds+ (stays static with 77gr 5.56) without .308/6.5CM weight and recoil but with quite similar bullet drop, while still allowing burning down close range targets(a deafening brake or suppressor is a must to maintain this capability) has really changed my opinion on these two AR-15 mid calibers,I want to try a super light 6.5 grendel or preferably a 6mm arc build(only if wolf starts making steel case 6mm) if I can find a high quality 16" minimum 18" preferred pencil barrel (non composite barrel) with a carbon handguard/KP15 lower, the recoil is much lower than an Ak-47's, as long as you use an obnoxious brake or a suppressor (not a fan of putting them on long pencil barrels, so not this build). I realize the lower is not intended for this, so I'm willing to risk burning some money in the name of experimentation without crying in warranty or complaints. However I refuse to spend another dollar on that case size platform until someone produces consistent quality and quantity of 24-30rd magazines! Every brand I've seen used or used personally has had problems with mags over 20rds. I know Barrett shipped the military 6mm ARC rifles with supposedly off the shelf e-lander mags, the 24's have not been 100% in my experience, so I hope that helps with thier reliability evolution. I think 6mm ARC has a big opportunity if wolf produces steel case as great as thier 6.5 grendel, and someone makes some 99% mags. 6.5 grendel is a good, but 6mm ARC in the AR-15 platform/magazine pouches really could have a great future, it's truly the intermediate intermediate caliber without a proprietary lower 👍 if anyone has newer information on magazines please let me know🙏
Fun fact: The "gooseneck" rail is still utilized by many Israeli Defense Force (IDF) brigades who still use CAR-15s and other older AR variants with the fixed receiver carry handle.
i dunno why but i love the videos at this table
Thank you for your insightful take on the guns rights issue. Much appreciated 👊🏼💜
I love Appaloosa, great movie and Bone Tomahawk is brutal as well as great
I couldn't agree more about your thoughts on the Beretta 92/M9. Carried one on 3 deployments, always saddened to hear them maligned.
On the carry handle optics mount question, I think he was asking about modifying the carry handles forward portion to a rail but otherwise keeping the sights as is. Which was also done on commercially on some early match/varmint models of AR.
I've built the WWSD inspired DMR in 556 and it still balances well and feels much better to use than other AR15 platform DMRs I've used, its currently in service with a local county sheriffs deputy. i plan to build a second DMR for myself in 224 Valkyrie this fall.
Bone Tomahawk blew my mind. Sci fi meets western in a very interesting, innovative way. Great dialogue. Harsh movie, very gritty. All the actor's involved do an amazing job. The primary plot has lots of minor subplots and unlike most movies these days, the characters have backgrounds and personalities and some even have character arcs. True love, romance also make it interesting and different from the normal cookie-cutter, flat storylines and characters. One of the primary characters is a complete bad__s, nearly to the point of unbelievability, but true love can be a powerful motivator.
Just to be clear, the brutal violence makes this a solid R-rated movie and should absolutely not be watched by children - this is very much an adult movie, but a diamond in the rough IMO.
Off topic, I can't believe I watch you and Ian answer questions from channel supporters for an hour, but I keep doing it because its very interesting. You guys rock. (big hug).
.
What is your criteria for the guns you place on your table during QA and other accessories? Does it have something to do with the questions or is it random weirdo stuff?
As the spirit moves me.
Very interesting and useful information in this one with several great points raised
Glad you enjoyed it!
Karl: Drinks Topo Chico Twist of Grapefruit and hangs out with Lefthanders. I knew there was something totally correct with this guy. Notice I didn’t say “right”.
(Unrelated to the Q&A but an ongoing theme) I hope you and Ian can talk to Scott @ Kentucky Ballistics, who published today about his .50 BMG rifle explosion that nearly killed him and the emergency measures he and his father took immediately and getting him to professional care. Your postmortem of Ian’s accident and injury set the stage, I think Scott had a much closer call and reinvigorating the medical training and equipment discussion seems timely.
I'm glad you had such a visceral reaction and strong response to that inane awful question about "controlling anti-gunners". What an awful and irresponsible way of thinking. I much prefer the live and let live philosophy, which you seem to espouse. Not only that but any other reaction to it would have really undermined your earlier answers to the questions about gun culture within the context of our broader culture.
I don't own a gun or plan to own a gun but I find your channel (and ForgottenWeapons) to be both interesting, informative historically and fun content.
keep it up!
