    The questions I ask does have relevance with the topic.

    I will no longer respond to you.
    I'm sorry. I did not realize I was talking to such a hardcore badass operator such as yourself. Please humbly accept my apologies, and thank your mother for letting you stay up so late.

    I believe some of them were offered to law enforcement agencies around the country. Boston PD was going to buy several of them and it caused quite a ruckus so they canceled that plan.

    I agree this is war, no one gives a shit about the environment except for this basket case.

    This retard should be fired and allow the army to buy the SOST round instead of that lead free crap.

    where do these people think lead comes from? elemental lead is not really a problem, as I understand it. Lead oxides are the real problem.
    • formerly known as "eguns-com"
    • M4Carbine required notice/disclaimer: I run eguns.com
    •eguns.com has not been actively promoted in a long time though I still do Dillon special
    orders, etc. and I have random left over inventory.
    •"eguns.com" domain name for sale (not the webstore). Serious enquiries only.

    Trophy Bonded Bear Claw on left, new Marine bullet on right.

    Which one is better for us to load our own guns with?
