I still need to get my Scorpion out to the range.  Or make a friend who owns land.  I have a spiffy hand crafted artisanal form 1 suppressor to try out.  I bought the Scorpion as my world is going to heck gun.

Nice! Going to rebrand my workshop.

I read recently that the number of U.S. firearms in civilian hands is nearing 400 million.  We account for nearly 50% of civilian held guns in the world.  Plus, a trillion rounds of ammunition.  Well, more than that because I bought another 500 rounds today.  :-)

Feeling awfully proud to be an American!

From one Texan to another, this made my heart swell with pride and my cheeks hurt from smiling.

1,000,000,000,000 rounds that looks like a very big number to a certain prominent people in the news when it refers to rounds of ammunition but when it is dollars of our money to spend on frivolity it barely gets a bat of an eye..... funny how that works

There are a lot of things the “news” barely bags an eye at.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that is the number or total guns purchased, ie both new and used.  Would be interested in how many new guns are sold each month

That amount is derived from the # of background checks performed.  Not all used gun sales require a background check.

I went full 'Merica and picked up an AR.   Ended up with the Radical.  It had more of what I wanted.

I have a Radical in 300 blackout with 8” barrel and haven’t had any issues so far. I’ve done a few simple mods to it like a Law Tactical folding stock, better trigger, ELF Tactical speed safety, and a nickel boron BCG. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 to 800 rounds through it with zero failures except for one dud round.

[M300Pilot]

Thanks for mentioning.  I have heard both positive and negative about Radical.  Seems that they have ironed out whatever issues they have had.  Next on the list is a decent pair of back-up sights and then to take it to the range to do some pew pews.  The CMMG .22 conversion kit is an attractive item.  Would be nice to be able to not have to fret over the cost of ammo.

[Gunnerdad80]

No doubt. CMMG makes some good stuff.
