Apparently, they decided to sue all the manufacturers of drop-in triggers during the NRA Show:
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/05/20/breaking-mossberg-suing-manufacturers-drop-triggers/
>In another instance of the firearms industry feeding on it’s own, it appears that Mossberg is exercising it’s control on the original Chip McCormick patent (US 7,293,385 B2), that it acquired a while ago, and bringing lawsuits against a number of manufacturers of drop in triggers.
>Mossberg currently licenses the design to the new CMC company, who has apparently decided to get Mossberg to go after their competition, i.e. anyone making drop in triggers.

Hopefully recent patent troll rulings will help the courts kick Mossberg's ass before some companies go out of business.

Yeah I'm sure the Russians and Chinese are shaking in their commie boots.

After watching the jurassic park movies, I want to ask:
Assuming modern weapons, how realistic would be to hunt dinosaurs if jurassic park was possible.

Aside from the AR/M16 platform the only other production DI rifle was the French MAS of the 1940’s. The M16 happened twenty years later. I believe that was the only DI rifle Eugene Stoner designed (consider the AR10 family), and no one else has used the DI system since. Stoner went on to design the AR18 and Stoner 63, both piston systems. That said, you would think that if the DI system rifle was all that great, more gun designers would use it, but none did, not even Stoner. That is conclusive, gas piston is simply better.

Anyone ordered through the glock blue label program? I'm qualified, but this has me scratching my head:
>Buying directly from GLOCK, Inc. can take approximately 180+ day’s after all proper credentials, paperwork and payment has been received, regardless of weapon model.

Can I just have my FFL get in contact with a Glock Dealer and expedite it, hopefully less than ten days?

Is VDV really as elite of a fighting force as everyone says, or are they just meme troops?

I've recently taken steps to join Peshmerga in the fight against isis, are there any vets or weapons experts on here that could help me out with my training? I've never served or shot a gun before. Just looking to learn the basics before I head over.

Haven't been to /k/ in years. Do we still do gear?

I'm looking to buy a new IWB holster, and I've heard good things about Alien Gear. MTAC and Crossbreed used to be the top of the crop last time I looked, but Alien gear looks unbeatable in price (though that's also possibly a worry).

Pic related is an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3

What does /k/ think? Preferably from people that have actually used one.

Otherwise, holster recommendations in general. Go.

On the bright side, my ACD has lead me to the discovery that .50cal ammo cans can hold 1575 rounds of .223 if stacked like pic related, 3 layers of 525

I'm looking at picking up a full cartridge battle rifle in the near future. I'm looking at the nork m305 and svt-40.

I would love to hear from people who have owned/used one or both.

Will mostly be used at the range. Concerns are availability of ammo, ease of maintinence, reliability, accuracy, and usability/ergonomics.

And yes, I live in Cucknadia and only have my PAL.
