AR-10: What is a G-3 mag and other questions

[skeet]

I also see your point..ya have to hedge your bets.. During the revolutionary war they called people that did that Tories. I hedge my bets too. But one thing for certain...I will fight with my ARs before giving them up. I don't have any hard core liberals for friends.. I am sorry you do. They are anathema to the ideals of this country..at least the way it used to be. That is why we are in this pickle now. The liberals have put us into the position we are in.. The War on Poverty. What a bunch of crap..it created more people under the poverty level and the only ones it hurt was the taxpayers. Socialism is no friend to the working man or woman. The only people it helps are the ones who choose not to work...Socialism also takes your rights and throw them out the window..in the name of safety for everyone. I buy no guns at a store anymore..I have 4 guns right now that are registered to me...Oh yeah..they are registered..and so are yours.. Dealers have to keep records for 20 yrs. Think that they won't go to look at 'em?? Look at the Homeland Security organization. They are spying on Americans right now...and if we have more attacks like 9-11 guess what?? They can suspend your rights under the constitution. It seems to me that Obama is inviting that scenario. If it comes to that. I think that things are going to get worse than you think..much worse. I personally forsee an armed insurrection in this country.. Not dissing you Fabs...but if that happens..are you going to be fighting a government that is taking your rights illegally...or are you going to choose to be a subject?? It will be YOUR choice. On the other hand...I certainly hope you are right...but it don't look good for the good guys....and Obama and the Democrat party ain't any of the good guys. For that matter not many of the Republicans are either. Yep...I'm still Pi**ed

I think a lot of things need to be changed about politics and politicians. Campaign financing needs to be changed entirely. Each candidate gets the same exact amount of money for campaigning, and it will come from the US Treasury (i.e. taxpayers). This way, they don't owe a single damn person or any industry whatsoever when they get into office other than the American people. They don't have to ear mark squat to payback anybody that supported them during the election. Of course, you will always have industries go out on a limb to support one candidate or another, but I think those industries should be shunned by every American that is on the opposite side of the endorsement, and if all Americans had any brains we would all boycott that Union, industry, manufacturer, business, etc., and especially these moronic artists and stars on both sides of the aisle. We would let people make up their own damn minds based upon the issues, not what rock star or what celebrity they love the most. When the musicians, TV show hosts, bodybuilders, WWF Wrestlers, etc. run the country, you know we are up the creek. You think you are pissed Skeet, join the club and I am the CEO.

If it really hits the fan, I cannot say what I will do. My example is that we all like to think we will step in front of a bullet for a loved one, but until that loved one is standing beside us and the bullet is fired, how the hell do you have any clue what you would do. Until the cops are breaking down my door to get my guns, I have no idea what I will do.

Hell, I am thinking about running for President myself so that I can change the change that Obama is bringing about. Let's just pray that he does the right things, fixes things up, and we get back to the American way, which might not have been around during my lifetime.

I sold my AR-10T in April. I had an extra 260 Medisha built upper for it.

I believe the G-3 mags are for a military 308 of some description. There are also converted M-14 mags around. The importance is this; AR-10 mags are expensive with the 20 round versions going for $65 per copy. I sold ten 20 round magazines and six 10 round magazines for my AR, all AR magazines. At the Tulsa show in April you could buy AR-10T green guns for $1,400 to $1,600. Some say the green guns are the best. Armalite makes those that sport an Armalite or American Eagle stamp, said to be the very best. I sold my AR because the darn thing was heavy, real heavy for a walk around tactical gun.

But, a little advice not requested, the 260 in the AR-10T is a bad hombre. 120 gr Sierra HPBT MK at 3,200 fps and sub .25 inch groups at 100. The bullet is still super sonic at 1,000 yards. It is nothing but bad with a capital B.

I have a custom 700 long barrel in 260 with a Harris that I built for ah, Florida prairie dogs.
Best,

PS: I have already been the direct confrontation route in Florida in 1993 so I know what works and it ain't standing around wringing your hands. Look the politician in the eye and say; "I have a constructional right to bear arms and I will kill anyone that tries to take my guns away from me, I fully understand that I will die in the process, but I am prepared to die to defend my freedom." If you add; “When it all starts you die first.” It is like slapping them in the face with a wet cow pie, because the consequences of their acts just caught up to their little skippy, oh happy days, nothing can touch me, liberal’s butt. Get 50,000 people to stand on the state capitol steps and shout the words. The anti gun folks get educated real quick, so do the cops, who say, nope, we are not going to enforce the law if passed. I was there, and I saw what happened. Made the hair stand on the back of your neck.
