That's awesome! It's always good to know where the closest TANK is.
...Like where we would need to rescue Sean from the Sea-Org or something!

Pedantry Alert! That's not a tank, it's a Bren Gun or Universal Carrier, an early APC using the chassis of the Carden-Lloyd IV.
It's still very cool.
I am such a rivet counter.

I was gonna say, "Looks like an APC to me" but I don't have the knowledge in Armor to explain the distinction.
As far as rescuing Sean from Sea-Org, they'd probably end up holding him here at their Land Base in Clearwater, FL.
In which case, we'll stage from my place.
I don't know about tanks, but to rescue Sean, I'd definitely be a bit more lax in my armory procedures, if you know what I mean...
However, as a courtesy, I would appreciate a primary BYOG to such an event, along with as much ammunition as you think you'd need. My supported calibers are 9mm and .223, so I can help out A LITTLE there, but my stockpiles of ammunition do not equal the support of the hardware...yet.
So BYOA, too.

Yeah, it probably isn't actually a tank, I just don't have the knowledge of military armored vehicles to properly identify it.
If I was storming a scientologist stronghold, I would do it the WOG way, cover my caravan in armor plating and paint a nice big WOG in the front hood. Weld some spikes to the grille and such.
And some miniature unmanned airships filled with hydrogen and coated in thermite. float them overtop and fire some tracers at them. That'll get their attention.

Yay, A-Team Re-runs! And some miniature unmanned airships filled with hydrogen and coated in thermite. float them overtop and fire some tracers at them. That'll get their attention.
Something...subtle. We'll have an entire Wog crew setting up solar power for hydrolysis in order to provide your environmentally-friendly, clean burning hydrogen for your operation. Scientology will be destroyed in a matter of minutes. Hurrah!! On a different note: Since i'm going down to the gunstore today (Ammo day!) I'll definitely be on the lookout for AR-15 receivers. I assume they'll be easier for me to get because theres no panic buying in Canada.
And magazines, I have a desperate need for magazines, and the stupid firearms centre refuses to answer my magazine import questions.
Definitely look into acquiring the receivers...as you have noted, there is panic buying here. As far as magazines go, what exactly do you need? Mags, especially the little bitty 10-rounders, I can get. Find out exactly what you're looking for and send me a PM; I'll do some shopping and you might get an early Christmas gift. S |

What I need is the little 5 round mags for my 9mm AR carbine, being in canada I need to have all rifle mags pinned to 5. and the firearms centre refuses to tell me if I can import high cap mags and get them pinned down here, or if I need to get them pinned before they cross the border. I don't feel like going to a federal fun camp because I made an assumption on boxes with springs in them. As for the AR receivers, I plan to get one for myself. If there are more, for a half decent price, i'll probably buy em and sell them for a non-superinflated price to you Americans. Wogs get first dibs if I get any. Edit: the only 10 rounder mags I can have are glock mags, and i ordered a bunch awhile back, so i'm good to go for glock. And my local gun store has buckets of $10 m1a mags. It's just the AR i'm needing to feed now. |

Well, I failed in acquiring any ar-15 receivers, but I did get a couple uzi mags that should fit my rifle after a quick modification (literally, the only difference is a little notch) I only got 2 because i want to make damn sure they work before I buy more. Also, I couldn't resist the child in me when I saw this  It's a lever action Norinco JW-21A in .22lr. Always wanted a levergun. |

I don't feel like going to a federal fun camp because I made an assumption on boxes with springs in them. Well, if you are in a pinch this is what I would do. 44mag.com has a service it is $2.49 per magazine. They will re-pin any high capacity magazine you like to a desired capacity. This has 2 desired outcomes. (link to option http://www.44mag.com/products.asp?dept=1341) 1.) you will receive pre-pinned 5 round mags on delivery. No worries on breaking any rules! 2.) I would get a hand full of 32 round mags, pinned at 5 rounds... so just in case the TOTWAWKOI actually happens, you can modify your pinned mags to be a bit more useful, in a 'fallout boy' kind of way. As for the AR receivers, I plan to get one for myself. If there are more, for a half decent price, i'll probably buy em and sell them for a non-superinflated price to you Americans. Wogs get first dibs if I get any. RED FLAG WARNING See, that is a great idea, however there is this thing called ITAR. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related items. Seriously these rules are extremely strict.. if you knowingly violate the laws it can be a 10 year prison sentence and $1,000,000 in fines. Weapons across the border are a big nono. Which sucks, because I'd love to drive up to B.C. to go target practice with some of you guys. *sigh* |

If you go through a dealer i'm sure you could do it perfectly legally. the fees at the dealer would be far less than the inflation. However, I did not get any receivers so not like it matters anyways. Also, they do make these in .45lc, I just don't want to add another expensive caliber to my inventory, and .22lr is cheap cheap cheap. Also, you CAN bring weapons across the border. Just not anything restricted (no hanguns, ar's are out. M1's are okay.) but you have to get the appropriate paperwork first. |

Correct. The downside is that when you're done acquiring the proper paperwork, a receiver that cost you 85.00 when you bought it will end up costing one of us down here in the states about 300.00 with paperwork, transfers, shipping, etc.
But we appreciate the thought. I already have a source for receivers locally for 169.00 (DPMS), so that's what we'll be building on from here on in until they're out.
I'll look into getting some pinned 9mm mags for your bushy down here. Once they're pinned, I can ship them to you no prob.
Is there a particular method of pinning that has to be done? Or can I just drill a couple of holes and slap rivets through the mag bodies to guarantee they can't be loaded past five?

I appreciate that. I'll reimburse you for em, I'm not exactly hurting for cash. Is there a particular method of pinning that has to be done? Or can I just drill a couple of holes and slap rivets through the mag bodies to guarantee they can't be loaded past five?
All the ones I've seen just seem to have rivets slapped in. It does say that it has to be done 'by a gunsmith" but there is no paperwork with the mags, most do not have serial numbers, and I can buy them without even presenting ID, so theres really no way to verify who did it. Basically the pin just can't be easily removable. I've even seen one where a rod was welded to the bottom of the follower and would hit the floorplate once you get to 5, so as far as I can tell the only requirement is "can't hold more than 5" |

Other than the "heat of the moment" crimes of passion where some dude just unloads on his cheating wife, I don't personally see a true reason to have a 5 round limit on magazines in an autoloading pistol.
Does Canada (or wherever else that has this kind of limitation) have a place where they can explain this?
Another note I find interesting: How in some countries the barrel is 'the weapon' and in others it is the slide, and in the US it is the frame/reciever (at least on handguns).
Also, that "tank" is da bomb.

Pistols can have 10 rounds. It's semi-auto rifles that are 5 rounds. non semi autos, such as my levergun, have no limit. My lever holds 15 legally. So the mag restrictions do nothing to prevent 'heat of the moment' crimes. I THINK the reasoning is that it'd be harder to go on a shooting spree with only 5 round mags, but if someone is planning to break the law, it's not hard to just drill out the pins and restore the full capacity. or learn to reload really fast. or use a bolt action. or whatever. most gun control legislation is thought up by people who've never even seen a gun in real life, so their views are severely skewed. We wouldn't let a sheet metal worker make medical decisions, so why let lawyers and politicians make gun legislation without ever having handled a firearm? |
