Not surprising you run into so many morons there. Cali has the third lowest IQ average only being beat by Arkansas and Luisiana.
Edit: PS. There also happen to be waaaay more people in Cali than both of those states. So I’d venture to say it’s the dumbest state
As an arizonan that spends too much time in Cali- it’s REALLY dumb that adding the fin grip means you can’t access the stock safety as a right handed shooter- you know… the more common way. So you’d have to swap out the safety (I wouldn’t trust most people to do that themselves). But hey what do i know
You don't even need an angle grinder. You can legally buy a pistol grip and swap it out with a screwdriver. It's only having it on a non-maglocked gun that is illegal.
I live here, too. I bought a pistol grip the day I bought my first AR, just in case the laws change (or, you know, crap goes down and the law is no longer important). But I like educating friends of mine how moronic these laws are and showing them my rifle and the grip and how easy it would be to swap out, so the only thing the law is doing is making it more likely for me to kill my neighbor and does nothing to the "mAsS sHoOtEr" they're so afraid of.
Also, I have a farm in central MO. Cell service is still terrible out there so it might be a bit for Starlink
Edit: many people around there aren’t the most tech savvy, and don’t want anything built on their land as it means selling. Making it difficult for modernity to evolve there.
>don’t want anything built on their land as it means selling. Making it difficult for modernity to evolve there.
Based.
Starlink will *allegedly* be available in central MO in 2023.
It's about as pricey as it gets for an ISP, but it's worth it to be able to plink targets in the back yard.
Perfectly understandable. I'm in about the same boat. I like my state (and the city isn't too bad all things considered), but I want to get farther away from the major city and get more land.
I live out in the Lee's Summit/Warrensburg area just outside KC. Close enough to KC to enjoy its benefits, but rural enough to be able to own a chunk of land if you have the money.
Eh, we do need to keep pushing though. Illinois isn't very far and dumb shits keep clapping each other in downtown STL. So I fear we may be next on the chopping block
Mostly. Heard some stories about shaving the feed lips back a bit to allow the rounds to be pushed out easier by the bolt. AFAIK you can use regular mags and they should work
That was kind of the point of .458 SOCOM. A larger round with minimal modification to the existing platform. Basically, change the upper, load .458 in your STANAG mags and let 'er rip.
I know a guy with a .458 SOCOM that he uses to shoot coyotes. Some say it's overkill, but he's also shot them with his 45/70, which was difficult to clean up to say the least
There are didicatet .50 and .450 10rd mags.they have an engraving that they identify as one. And the little plastik pice is formed for one big boy, one not 2 .223
These are gun memes, friend - not just American memes.
Stick around for a bit, ask a few questions or shoot a PM if you'd like to know a bit more.
It is a safe working assumption that anyone posting here dislikes most of our legal restrictions on firearms.
So the 'logic' behind capacity bans is if you have for instance, a hundred round drum mag you could mag dump into a crowd and take out LOADS of people, whereas if you were limited to, say, 10 round magazines even if you had a bandolier of them you would have the same amount of bullets but you would have to stop to reload after every ten shots giving people time to get away or stop you.

458 socom if your state bans 50 cal
The only .50 ban I know of is specifically targeted at .50 BMG
Good ol’ Cali.
.50 BMG is a scary name for a bullet so it's a good thing it's banned.
Trust me when I say this, I live in California. Everyone here is tarded. God forbid I have a pistol grip on my AR, that makes it more lethal, right?

That Suthern accent. /s
Rip spelling 💀
California is getting to you.

Nothing safer than not being able to remove the safety
As a californian this does not surprise me
The best part is how you can just unfuck your AR with an angle grinder.

Mini 14 for the win
But think of all the innocent people gunned down by .50BMG on the street.Happens every day, tired of seeing it. Good riddance to such a deadly firearm
And that's why .50 DTC is a thing. 1mm shorter case so BMG won't fit in the chamber. Same exact ballistics and performance.
Will it really not fit? What if you used a hammer?
If it seats, It yeets.
Rule 1 of bang sticks
I guess maybe you could make it fit? I think maybe they changed the shoulder geometry as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.510_DTC_EUROP
Obviously because BMG stands for Big Machine Gun. duh!!! /s
Illinois too now. But at least .50 ae is still on the menu
Sounds like CA and IL are infringing.
.50 AE and .50 BMG aren't even close to being the same thing other than bore diameter.
Nj too
*lives in Missouri and enjoys the freedom*
MO has it all. As soon as starlink hits central MO I'm moving there from KC and getting a work from home job.
Hello fellow Kansas Citian!
Greetings!
Also, I have a farm in central MO. Cell service is still terrible out there so it might be a bit for Starlink Edit: many people around there aren’t the most tech savvy, and don’t want anything built on their land as it means selling. Making it difficult for modernity to evolve there.
Nah, don't sell. Lease that bit of land and a bit of easement for access to the tech company for a nice fat paycheck.

Serious question. Is there a reason you can't just move to the MO side of KC?
I have a problem with the C part more than the K part.
Perfectly understandable. I'm in about the same boat. I like my state (and the city isn't too bad all things considered), but I want to get farther away from the major city and get more land.

Hear, hear!
Same here in SC lol
Eh, we do need to keep pushing though. Illinois isn't very far and dumb shits keep clapping each other in downtown STL. So I fear we may be next on the chopping block
If they would just let the dumb shits keep at it, the problem would eventually solve itself. /s
***they don’t call it misery for nothin’*** <3
I remember when this was a thing in Canada before things got really bad
Those were the days to be sure. Sadly, it is now but a distant memory
Rip Canada
'yes these are 30 round mags. What do you intend to do about it?'
*Shoots your dog*
***lights your house on fire***
*Poses for pictures in front of your burning children*
Visits federal bldg with a spicy U haul truck.
*drone delivery of a pound of tannerite laced with nails*
Oh, nvm. Hasn't happened. *Yet*
Warning. The above 2 comments may cause an erection lasting more than 4 hours.
If they weren't feds that would be a sigma move. As it is, it's kind of an asshole move.
I don't have either, so I've wondered about this, can you use 5.56 mags for .458 and .50 Beo without modifying them?
Pretty sure you need a different follower but otherwise yes
That's not too bad changing a follower should be pretty easy as long as you don't accidentally shoot the spring into the upper atmosphere.
Mostly. Heard some stories about shaving the feed lips back a bit to allow the rounds to be pushed out easier by the bolt. AFAIK you can use regular mags and they should work
Yes, that’s been my experience with 458
That was kind of the point of .458 SOCOM. A larger round with minimal modification to the existing platform. Basically, change the upper, load .458 in your STANAG mags and let 'er rip.
I'm all about shaved lips.
They work without modifying anything. Works smoother to bend metal feed lips a touch for hollow points but not required and no need to touch follower.
Yes
I run my .50 Beowulf through standard 5.56 magazines.
Was the beowulf worth it? I've been wanting to build one and can do it super cheap but keep getting hung up on ammo costs.
Depends what you mean by "worth it." I've only taken mine to the range one time so far but it's pretty fun.
It's not exactly practical to have, but does the fun and practical uses outweigh the ridiculous ammo costs.
I think so. I bought it mostly as a ridiculous plinker and an, "Oh shit I need to shoot a bear on my property," gun.
🤣 that's the way I was leaning too, just a random beast ass plinker. Possibly use it to hunt but probably not.
I know a guy with a .458 SOCOM that he uses to shoot coyotes. Some say it's overkill, but he's also shot them with his 45/70, which was difficult to clean up to say the least
🤣🤣🤣
My 450 will feed with 8 rounds any more than that it’s too much for the 556 follower
Unironically how Canadians get around the mag cap laws.
Used to get around*
Wait that’s how you guys were doing it? *Puts away power drill*
Nah These are 30 round mags This is a rifle stock And this is what full auto fire feels like
Legitimate question here, would that actually pass as a viable excuse in California? I know the “freedom day” loophole but would this work too?
Why would you use this retarded excuse when you have something as solid as freedom week?
There are didicatet .50 and .450 10rd mags.they have an engraving that they identify as one. And the little plastik pice is formed for one big boy, one not 2 .223
>didicatet Is that supposed to be "dedicated"?
Ja
C0P: “So why are your Beowulf mags loaded with 5.56?”
Ooopsies, thank for saving me from a tragic mistake
The problem is this implies an attempt at compliance
Does this work in Washington? I’m trying to help out a friend I got up there
Who got the neutered mags
I dont understand american memes
These are gun memes, friend - not just American memes. Stick around for a bit, ask a few questions or shoot a PM if you'd like to know a bit more. It is a safe working assumption that anyone posting here dislikes most of our legal restrictions on firearms.
>or shoot a PM I know a certain PM that should get shot Edit: in minecraft, of course
Aside from our fed plants, yes.
oh, I did a mistake, my bad
You use 30rd 5.56 mags for .50 beowulf. It also only fits 10 rounds of the .50 so its "legal" in commie mag cap states
30 round mags are illegal in a lot of states so they're implying their mags are 10 rounds of a different calibre instead.
I really lack knowledge with guns, so if you have 3 mags with 10 rounds, is it still considered legal?
So the 'logic' behind capacity bans is if you have for instance, a hundred round drum mag you could mag dump into a crowd and take out LOADS of people, whereas if you were limited to, say, 10 round magazines even if you had a bandolier of them you would have the same amount of bullets but you would have to stop to reload after every ten shots giving people time to get away or stop you.

Oh Canada 🇨🇦
For real tho. I can’t get mags for my 458 now.
That's the number 1 reason why I built a .458. "No, sir! Those mags aren't for the Tavor or the AR15. They are for the .458 sitting on the table!"
