Thank goodness for New Jersey's Assault Weapon Ban

[bushmaster1313]

Good thing we have an assault weapons ban in New Jersey.

Otherwise, instead of the following New Jersey Legal DPMS Lite Hunter in .243 Winchester,
I might have gotten a really dangerous assault weapon,
like a Ruger 10/22 with a pistol gripped folding stock or a Marlin 60.

An AR in 243, first one of those I've seen.

To my mind it's the perfect combination. Enough power to reach out and touch someone without punishing your shoulder.

I can't believe they let the pistol grip slide.

Yes
But it handles like a 2x4 with bricks glued on,
and the factory butt plate is hard plastic with raised diamonds.
I am thinking about getting a fixed Ace Skeleton stock.

Great rifle! The AR platform is remarkable in how very well it can be adapted to such a plethora of calibers.

Add a bayonet lug to this puppy and it's three squares and a cot.

I'll bet that baby can let lose thirty magazine clip in half a second

True, but there's not much you shoot with .243 that you would bayonet.

great flat shooting calber that can pack a punch.

Try that with an AR-version of a .50 cal "Long Tom" if such a thing were to be built? We had two Long Toms and in my prime-I was only able to fire one twice those boys kicked harder than a passel of ticked off Mules. And yep-I held it correctly. My right shoulder was sore for a few weeks. My Brother in Law-who is much tougher was able to fire one three times and live to moan about it.

Just goes to show you how much those antis know about guns-let alone anything else.

To be fair, since the Assault Weapon Ban went into effect there have not been any pistol gripped, drive-by bayonet luggings in the entire Garden State.

A fixed bayonet adds a lot of intimidation factor. It will often help avoid the need for actual shooting.

 

[the ringo kid]

Intimidating they sure are.

This is an original AP Wire Photo--and mis-labled on the back too. Even back then they didn't check their facts properly. Anyway, the original info mentioned this guy was of Slavic heritage--but nobody but pure Aryan could serve in the Leibstandarte A.H. Division.

We suffer from the same lunacy here in MA. If it wasn't so pathetic it would almost be funny.
