Meplat reacted to Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect in United States Gun Control Megathread
Might be a repost. But I might not care. This is something I've dealt with in the past.

BRB loading the defensive GAU2A/A's in the yard, and checking on the inerlaced claymores.
None of which are for fictional boogeymen' rather, they are for tax collectors and politicians.

Shit I gave up on RB and full sim long ago.
I even had the gear to pull full sim (other than the VR shit)..
The relatives/friends I played with have toasters for PC's so they could not have managed those modes even after I quit pub games (due to teleporting aircraft).
Coming soon to Warthunder, once the Boris and Natasha obtain sekrit documents from Moose and Squirrel.

Shoddy QC!. I can count the number of radiators I swapped in my Toyota, and have four fingers left!
Over one million miles, on the same radiator. (And alternator). Those 80's toyota trucks were fucking stout!
(Find the joke)

"“Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The ATF has withheld records for over three years concerning the Obama administration’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.”
At this point, the FBI, Secret Service, Federal Marshals or similar not raiding the main offices of the BATF and arresting people is unacceptable.
Disband, arrest and deport, or admit to the nation that the BATF and all involved are now "repulsive and odious varmints of the highest order" and thus open game.
Every dealing I have ever had with the BATF has left me feeling the need to bathe in bleach and rubbing alcohol.

A Czech company did just that, as well as a 7.5mm Swiss variant. Google the Luvo Arms LA-11.

Meplat got a reaction from Scolopax in The M4 Sherman Tank Epic Information Thread.. (work in progress)
There is vid of the M18 I used to deal with, blowing people's hats off. It was not a gag, it really caught them unaware.
"King Shit" though is still the PAK40 the Hamiltons restored , that set the noise muffs on my camera aflame, and corrupted the SD card . (Maybe it anschlussed it)
Yes, I was a bit too close.

At this point, the Christ himself could have been presented, and I assure you, there would have been everything shy of a rabid squirrel turning up to claim some sort of unsavory encounter, for their fifteen minutes.

I'm seeing it.
Had some who would not talk to me for a long time, when I said "No I did not vote for the Wicked Witch of the South. Why would I?".
(Then things broke.).

You still have the assumption of innocence, especially in circumstances like this.
This is one person (and another likely looking for her fifteen minutes) making a claim that goes completely against everything else said, written or investigated about the guy.
She's wanting a FBI investigation. The guy was a U.S. circuit judge for D.C.. If he had real dirt, it'd have turned up before this.
You want to know why some people have a hard-on for this guy?
He worked on the Starr report, that indicted Clinton and lead to his impeachment.
This is revenge. Plain and simple.

The Ram makes a long dead bit of my anatomy wiggle. Just so...
Because it is Canadian , but it is not quite ALL Canuck.
I want to hug it, but it says "No you are American!", and I say "But wait, so are you!".
As it waits, I say " And my relatives are Canadian (A lie, as we were chased out by the British)" Thus is the Ram lulled.

Amazing that it took the Germans, what, 10 years to admit it "might" have a problem?
I took those images back ~2003..

Now make it in 6.5X55 Swede..
Hahaha!
(which no kidding, would be a fantastic idea, as 6.5X55 is absurdly underrated..An AR platform using 6,5 Swede would be amazing,)

Auto sear/Sear trip, especially so.
Saw more than a few with the "H" piece at the rear of the receiver , knocked loose.
And "E clips, Everywhere".

To add- Tubular reciever. One for 5.56/5.45/7.62M43, one for 7,62/7,92/7,62X63.
Your bolt carrier is the sole critical component. Look at a Sterling bolt. Designed to be self clearing. Incorporate a cut for "bolt hold open".
You have two diameters of tube, with two matching diameters of bolt carrier, and three bolt faces. Use the Johnson bolt, and the AR-16/18 gas system.
For the lower use the second gen AR-18 FCS (M-16 bitsa), and if you want to be "innovative" use a molded lower. It's taking NO stress, and merely serves to hold the magazine and FCS in alignment. For added grins you could incorporate a dovetailed section to the lower, to allow swapping magwells, for the people who think they my want to have one lower and a million uppers.( Maybe one in 6,5X55, using Swedish BAR mags, interchanging with U.S. BAR mags when sanity prevails).
The trick is in incorporating a "datum" line in the upper. This is your core reference. All measurements come from this.
Make this the point at which your barrel/chamber/barrel extension pins to (pins, so you can market it's "interchangeability")

Too complex, use existing structural rolls/channels.
Stoner had a good idea with the AR-16. Use as many simple bits as possible. Make it so you can whack parts for it out of scrap metal, if needed.
Determine your desired receiver width, and work from there so that the bolt carrier will be the sole critical component. Then make that carrier (and the whole piece) so it will use as many AR (or AK) parts as possible.
