    So..... we getting Russian AK back?

    What with relations seeming to be thawing already. Maybe even an expansion? They still making Tigers? What chance is there that some of the older restrictions that Bush sr. Imposed go away? How about getting suppressors and SBRs of the the NFA list, seems like low hanging fruit to me. Besides...

    5.56 55gr, 69gr and 77gr ballistics.

    Specifically how big a difference is there between the three? Reason I ask is I want to get a Trijicon Accupower on my rifle and I like the segmented circle reticle the best but the BDC is regulated for the 55gr. I want to standardize on the 77gr and I also get 69gr when the former is not...

    Well hullo all

    I'm seeing a lot of familiar names so I'd thought I'd keep my handle the same too. Hopefully y'all have room for an NY expat here, the PA forums are kinda lame.
