The DNR officer should have looked on page 8 of the 2008-2009 Indiana hunting regulations manual –– the .458 SOCOM is listed there plain as day as a legal deer cartridge. I should know, as I'm the one who got them to include it on the list.  The case length on the .458 SOCOM is 1.575" –– well under the maximum limit of 1.625".
On the other hand, the .50 Beowulf is a little too long at 1.655". Perhaps he confused the .458 SOCOM with the .50 Beowulf. |

Now hurry up and get 'em built into complete rifles. During the last ban, if they weren't assembled into complete rifles before the cut-off, they were considered post-ban lowers.  Hopefully we won't have to contend with another ban though.

Thanks M4Madness, They are all complete rifles, all are M4 types except the three w/ A1/A2 stocks, they are my preban Colts. A couple times a year I take them all out of the safe, clean, lube, carrees, fondle and then put them back in the safe..... Here is the couch pic.... I still needed a few more uppers back then:

Thanks.... the ACOG off of my M4gery until I can get an Eotech or Aimpoint. They are really sweet handling and firing rifles, I missed the tan stocked one.... so maybe I can get a tan one before anything political happens. |

Added the finishing touches today. I pieced this together starting with an M&P15 Lower, bought the upper, rail, and front sight off the EE here, and finally got a S&W marked stock last week of the EE.
S&W M&P15 OR upper with S&W 7" Troy Rail and Rail Covers S&W M&P15 Lower w/ Del-Ton (or whoever their supplier is) LPK MI Front Flip Up Sight YHM Rear BUIS Aimpoint (Clone) in Aimpoint Mount with Co-Witness Spacer Blackhawk 3-pt sling. Brownells 30rd mag with Magpul Gen III Follower and Ranger Plate I know some folks might knock the Aimpoint clone, but I wasn't sure what I wanted in an optic (EOTech, Aimpoint, ACOG, Traditional Scope, etc), so thought I'd start out with a less expensive clone before I took the plunge for the real one at 5 or 6 times the price. I've been pleased so far, so plan on keeping it until I need to replace it with the real one. |

Well, it's not black, but I picked this gem up at Acme Sports this afternoon:
The old adage "Once you go black, you never go back" is antiquated. It should be replaced with "Once you go dark earth, you'll treasure its worth."
