MRPC is not dissolved but continues to operate as it pretty much always has, as a private indoor range. Due to the nature of the facility and its location the Club does have certain policies regarding weapons allowed, calibers allowed, guests allowed, etc that are strictly enforced.
Keep an eye out at pawn shops that are also FFL's. They are more interested in turning their inventory and normally will have less invested in the weapon. I picked up a like new Cx4 about a year ago at a pawn shop for $400. One hell of a buy!
R51 still has problems. Mags are poorly designed causing feed issues especially on the first two rounds. Grip safety on the one I had was not made well, would catch hang up and not engage properly.
I too have followed this topic in multiple social media threads. What amazes me is the incredble brilliance of the Founding Fathers to create such a brilliant system that accomplishes exactly what they intended. The system was designed such that it reflects the will of the most populated areas...
AngryRooster I do some of both, but mostly like talking about fine weapons. Joined a couple years ago actually but work and travel have interfered with active participation. Hope the majority of the folks on here are more friendly than the ones over in the troll thread...
I had one and sold it. Even with the piston I didn't like the recoil. But more than that I really disliked the field strip and reassembly on the gun. Check out the new Walther PPS M2. Slightly larger, better recoil, great ergonomics like the ccp.
I've not looked closely at the V2, but I have looked at the SA. For the life of me I have no idea why anyone would design a decocker for a striker fire that totally disables the trigger!
Actually I believe the majority of guns funneling into Chicago are coming from Indiana. Its just that most are coming from all these gun store smash and grabs where the thugs rent an SUV, drive it through the front door at night and load it up.
Check out the Gamo line of single shot pump style pellet rifles. I have the Whisper and the grandkids love shooting it. Nice and quiet too so the neighbors don't get upset.
