Like your first Prom. It feels right. But, it’s wrong.

Would a Texas jury be unkind to you with those bullets in a trial after a SD shoot?

There was a LEO that had “you’re F¥€%ed” on the inside of his patrol rifle’s dust cover. He was in a shoot, it didn’t end well. They found that the dust cover was tantamount to prior intent. Tread lightly

According to Biden, a 5.56 round from an AR 15 is five times faster than any other round.

That’s the sticker that RMR had in the box. They seem like a cool company

Yeah, FMJ is not really the best choice. These are paper punchers.

Although I will shoot fresh painted steel just on the off chance it leaves a smiley face on the target

And much like the prom, it started off as a joke…

Me too, but the technology to impress each bullet with the shark's teeth motif from the nose of a Flying Tiger's P-40 probably isn't here yet. ;)
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

I'm with you, in that I find them hilarious also. :lol: :lol:
If it wasn't for the other "muzzle devices" I own. I also find Badger Ordnance "FTE" (Front Towards Enemy) muzzle brakes quite humorous. I THINK Jayhawker has one on his 300WM, one of his Savage "sisters"
