Jules Troy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Nitrocellulose, aka guncotton aka modern gunpowder is easy peasy to make. Improvised caps? One could use peroxiacetone also easy peasy to make. Easier though is just to buy bullets on the black market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moralist Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yeah, a victim would think after the fact and register his weapon with the government after it breaks bad. If you're smart like me and you, you think preemptively: "It's not a big problem to buy and legally register firearms" right now when the good guys are still in charge. The ones that treat us as decent as we are. They may have our names, addresses and gun serial numbers, but we have the freaking guns, baby!Yeah, that's what I meant.I've yet to see the violation of the principle of the US government treating each individual as decent as they are... neither in my own life, nor observed in the lives of others. This is because the government answers to exactly the same higher moral law that everyone else does.The government is not the enemy. So if you ~feel~ that you are being treated unfairly by the government, you'd do well to change how you are living your life instead of angrily blaming (unjustly accusing) the government for the consequences of your own failure.

Only feminized liberals expect others to do it for them.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are plentiful & can even be obtained via mail order. Still, I believe it's desirable to have a supply now... that you deem necessary... should new, restrictive laws begin to surface.And if you live in a restrictive State? Get what you can while you still can.As the Boy Scouts often reminded me when I was a Tenderfoot 1st. class: "Be prepared".http://www.gunsandammo.com/network-topics/culture-politics-network/best-states-for-gun-owners-2014/-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backlighting Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Never cooked up a squirrel. Haven't seen any here in the desert.

moralist Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 What were you using, Greg? .22lr?-JYes, low velocity subsonic rounds. It's extremely quiet especially with the new muzzle brake. The performance is basically the same as a high quality pellet gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I once took a .22 LR into Harriman State Park, NY and fired off a few rounds.It was loud and unnerving as the bullets bounced off the tree trunks. I was afraid one would come back and hit me.--Brantif I had ant decency in those days, I'd not be indecent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moralist Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 That's strange. Even low velocity rounds readily embed themselves in wood and don't go anywhere else. Standard ammo can exceed the speed of sound so that's where you get all of the loudness. Short barreled firearms will even further increase the sound.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backlighting Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice rifle Greg. Colt?I shoot a Browning Buckmark Camper (22lr) pistol once a week in the desert.It's quite accurate, with little recoil, but I'm sure your piece yields much tighter groups.How's .22lr availability there...getting better?-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The rounds may have embedded but it didn't seem they did. Chips of bark off the trunk implies they didn't.

Brownings get really high marks from their owners. I have a similar design to yours in a Ruger.I have enough 22 ammo from years ago from when it was cheap and readily available.
