    The PSG is an iconic sniper rifle. Some of the PTR clones get close to the original in terms of accuracy.

    His current tactic-both here and on another board-is to accuse Rucker and I of being gun banners while denying he is one.

    I note you have the Glock MOS. Unfortunately I don't like the MOS system; it puts everything up too high for cowitnessing. See, I have a custom slide on my G17 that actually mounts the Trijicon RMR closer to the bore and enables me to use cowitnessing sights. Now, I don't lose the speed because I come up for the usual sight picture and the dot's right there. I'm just as fast with the RMR and my groups are tighter and more consistent.

    Unlike the M&P which has several plates which actually work (they bought a couple RMR Smith conversions from the guy who really started this trend-David Bowie of Bowie Tactical Concepts) and while they didn't exactly do what he suggested, they were far ahead of the Glock MOS-which came a year or two later and the plates they had didn't fit half the stuff it was supposed to have (you should see the email chain I got from Glock over their plates not fitting DOKTOR, C-More etc. when I told them my CORE did,that was the end. C-More offered to modify the Glock plate to fit-I ended up buying a DELTA POINT which did fit-the guys at AIM where I got the G34 MOS showed me one on one of the employee's Glocks so I bought one and it works fine.

    I have shot a PSG-I think they were about 5500 dollars the last time I checked which was a long time ago

    If they're even obtainable here anymore. Like I said the PTR clones are quite good and made with Portuguese H&K machinery. Plus they're much more affordable. Besides the 7.62/308 is a highly overrated round. It was consistent and not much else.

    What has been settled, however, is the fact that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home

    Already been there -- twice. No change.
    Settled law.

    No law is truly settled....only settled for the moment
