Who else here rides a Harley???

Not a Harley, but a pretty good cruiser. They only made the Valkyrie Interstate for 3 years. They were a sportier Goldwing with 6 carbs and a bigger cam.

Those are really good engines on that hoss!

I like the AR platform rifles he's building as well as there is some crazy design and craftsmanship, but again, for the money you could pick up a LaRue that will shoot sub-MOA right out of the box and start to dress it up. There's only so much you can do with .223 anyway. Like the 1911's, they're nice to look at, and I can appreciate the novelty, along with the workmanship, but for an EDC and something that runs, I'm not sold yet. He's asking Wilson Combat money for the 1911's, without the track record to support it. We'll see what the next couple years bring.

Not that he cares, but it would be interesting to see JJ put some kind of competition team together and make some appearances. He has enough cabbage between what he's done and the Patron money, to not have to work again. Makes work more enjoyable for sure!

The WCC parts that are real are easy to spot as they cost 4 times what a comparable part would be by anybody else. Things like risers and such are easy to spot, but I know there are a shit ton of controls that get tagged with WCC that aren't.

After taking apart a dozen or more different 1911 derived pistols I really fell in love with the John Browning design and am a huge fan, Mr. John Browning and his designs are incredible for the era that he developed in and what he had to work with.

After looking closer I found some of the AmericanTacticalImport 1911s (GSG importer) that are in 45ACP are coming from the Philippines so I just called ATI customer service and they informed me that NONE of the 45ACP 1911s are coming from Germany/GSG so scratch that...

The ATI "FXH" models are made in the states OR maybe just partially made in the U.S AND are composite frames, not steel.... My plan is blown, back to the drawing board and back to the 300BLK ARs....

I will ride with Harleys but not on one....old rice grinders all the way baby.

After a few trips on my buddy's NINJA I swore off rice street bikes, they scare me... OR rather I scare myself on them, I won't own one for the sake of my limbs and family...

Im not ruling out my friends OLD SCHOOL 750-4 super stretch retro chopper...

Some you you aren't as old as this "old fart", but when I was a young kid this bike was the "bomb" in the mid/late 60s in my neighborhood, I'm in the middle of finishing our basement and I've got 6-8 more weeks to complete, but after I'm done I'm going hunting for one of these, it's a 65-67 Honda 305 scrambler.

I couldn't afford one then, but I can now, just what I need, more toys.

I picked up a GSG-5 about 10 years ago now, the MP5SD clone, and it was fun for what it was, a cheap .22 to plink cans with. It took a few thousand rounds before it became what I'd consider remotely reliable. I have it and consider sending it up to a place north of Phoenix that will cut the barrel, SBR it, and set it up with a flash hider that will mount a suppressor. It's on my list, but not that high. I'd hope that they have come a long ways from that rifle since then, but I'd be wary of anything ATI for an EDC based upon my experiences, granted it's an unrelated model. It's funny watching the gun forums go back and forth between the Glock crowd and the 1911 crowd. Browning had a design that works, even over 100 years later. Hard to argue with that.

I went back and forth between Sig and Kimber for a 3" barrel 1911 and opted for the Sig, as I have about 8 others that I have had no issues with. There are so many different options for 1911's out there and all kinds of price points. The JJFU ones are too pretty to take out and beat on, or even have as an EDC. Hell, the boxes that he sends them out with are works of art on their own.

I'm a big fan of the .300BLK and they're on my list, but then I look at the 6.5 Creedmoor and swing back around. I like variety and have a pretty good array of coverage, but there's always room for more, right? The .300BLK is supposed to be a whole lot of fun with a suppressor.

Thanks for the info on the GSG stuff, I "assumed" that if it came from Germany it would be better quality than the Philippines... OR at least a good platform to start with...

I started playing with the 300BLK when it was in it's infancy and WAY before it was SAAMI accepted/approved (only experimental load data available on the net)... I have a few that I have built and the "subsonic" loads with 220gr bullets are real thumpers as a home security piece... I've always been a big fan of 30 cal ANYTHING...

I love the reliability of the 300BLK and the fact that the .223 is the parent brass, feeds like a dream, same mags, same bolt/carrier with ZERO mods... Just change the barrel...

I will never under ANY circumstances NOT be able to build ammo for the 300BLK... EVER...

It turns your AR into a really great deer rifle...

I wouldn't know anything about sub sonic 300BLK with a CAN...
