Georgia To Allow Silencers For Hunting
From the AP:
Senate Bill 301 was approved by a vote of 48-5. Sen. John Bulloch, the bill’s sponsor, says allowing hunters to use silencers would keep them from disturbing their neighbors, and removing the ban would not create an unfair advantage for hunters. Hunters would still need a federal permit to possess a silencer.

Micro 7 Rifle Specifics
Yes, the Micro 7 is built on the Remington 700 short-action. The owner’s manual included with the rifle is actually the Rem. 700 manual. The AAC Micro 7 rifle is small and light-weight, hence the Micro moniker.  The barrel is 16 inches long with a 1 in 8 twist for the slower, heavy bullets.  As it is assumed the end user will be employing a silencer, the muzzle is threaded for the normal .30 caliber 5/8-24 TPI. AAC includes a thread protector.
An “X-Mark Pro†adjustable trigger with a two position safety is included as part of the package. The bolt action is fed from a four round magazine with a hinged floorplate.  Atop the action AAC has include a 20 MOA Picatinny scope rail. A black nitride finish is applied to the metal parts.
The barrel and action are bedded into a black synthetic stock. This stock has an adjustable cheek piece and a rubber buttpad. Standard sling studs are located fore and aft. Empty weight is right around 6.5 pounds.
Sandia Labratories Develops Laser Guided Bullet
From Guns.com:
The bullet is flanged with four fins for straight flight, like a dart, which are encased in a plastic sabot that falls off as soon as the bullet leaves its smooth-bore barrel. The bullet has internal electromagnetic actuators that correct its flight; it doesn’t need to spin, it stabilizes itself. “The natural body frequency of this bullet is about 30 hertz, so we can make corrections 30 times per second. That means we can overcorrect, so we don’t have to be as precise each time,†Jones said.

XS Sights’ XTI AR-15 Angle Mount Back-up Iron Sights
Posted by Gary in Sights, Warrior Tools on 21/Jan/2012 01:00
From: Richard Mann
Sometimes optics break. And, sometimes you need to shoot things with an AR that are too close for you to use your optic, particularly if your optic has magnification. An option is to have open sights that co-witness with your optic but these can be distracting. They also work best with zero magnification optical sights. XS Sights has developed an ingenious solution that will work on any AR with a full length rail. These sights are calledXTI™ (Xpress Threat Interdiction™) AR-15 angle mount sights.
