You can still get the 16 inch PCC version.

Or you can get the K and swap in an 8 inch barrel and handguard. That is the expensive way, but doable.

I found this at one of my local hiding spots in my patrol area. It looks like some gang members have been engaging in some target practice in the city (…and missing half the shots).

I really wish they would not practice at all.

They they did not practice much. Maybe because it is loud and someone would call the cops?

Looks like 3 different calibers used. Maybe the large caliber was a revolver? 22 was a single shot...and a 9mm semi auto pistol?

All those eyes, judging your every shot placement...

How can you tell the 22 is a single shot? Or the large caliber a revolver? Seriously there must be a clue but it's going right by me.

I am 100% guessing.

The smallest holes, which I assume are the 22, are mostly far away from each other. A single shot 22 would make sense as the person has to reengage the target every time. You always give the new shooter the 22. So bad aim and far away groupings make sense. With a semiautomatic pistol the groupings would be closer. Also not many holes(takes time to load)

Largest holes I see 6 I think? So semi large caliber revolver is my bet. Had it loaded before they got there.

Bunch of 9mm is the rest of the holes. Semi auto pistol. Plenty 'close' together.

My guess is they did this fast and then bounced. All guesses. I could be 100% wrong. I don't star at bullet holes often.

Guesses but based on deduction. I like it. Could be right.

Liberty Centurion Safes good quality? My local Fleet has the 24 on sale for $799.

I have their 64 Gun Revere model which looks very similar. Same keypad. As far as I can tell it is decent quality. No issues at all.

Added a few parts, this thing feels so nice to hold and it's so easy to acquire targets quickly. The MP5 is nice, but this feels better.

Gun safe selection should be based on several factors. Some of them are:

Fire response time
Police response time
Alarm system
Value of what's in it
Location of safe within the structure
Budget

Excellent points.

I'll add:

A safe (technically a Residential Security Container) is just one more layer of protection. Given enough time, a burglar will get into your safe.

If you can, bolt the safe to the wall and/or floor. The back of the safe is the easy part to break into.

Electronics will die or fail before a mechanical lock will.

Safe manufacturers lie about capacity. Buy the biggest safe you can afford or fit into your house. It fills up quikly.

Don't advertise what you have. That includes fancy watches and cars.

WHAT?! How else am I supposed to show off my status if I can't post my wrist shot next to my steering wheel emblem on the grams?!

Love the Scorpion.

Sure there are MP5s and everyone seems to pay double and get Sig MPXs now a days, but Scorpions are unique.

It's cheap, but also quality. Which is rare, in everything, not just guns.

Finally got an email that my Atheris 6.5grendel has shipped! Only took 1.5 yrs...

I prefer my mp5k to the scorpion but you cannot argue with the price. Mine is a DJ Getz, apparently one of the last ones before he got sick and stopped making them. I don't see it going anywhere. I've got a foldable brace and that's the only mod. I love the castle sights on it, very quick but arguably not as precise but it's a great shooter.

I do like the ease of adding things to the scorpion and CZ makes excellent products at good price points.

Isn't that common?

[Torgus]

Anyone have any advice on what to look for etc. when purchasing a preban AR15?

Best part is, is they were probably excited and bragging up how close they were to the center...

Preban? Must be a Massachusetts law.

You'll probably get better information from https://www.northeastshooters.com/xen/forums/ since they deal with the MA laws every day.
