Both sites are closed to new members. No access to posts on either.

 

They are reopened periodically for a very short time.

Post a query about it on ar15.com in the Armory / NFA - DD section.

I was registered on there like 15 years ago.  It was pretty slow moving IIRC and was focused mostly on 37mm stuff?  Are they harboring serious secrets on there that they don't want to share?  If I recall that board died due to lack of activity years back?  I probably lack the street cred for admission nowadays?

Somewhere around here I have a Grog CD with all sorts of stuff on it that I bought back in the day?

Great post Frank. 

A very large tree, about 100 yards into my backyard hates the Chalk Rounds. Those things hit hard....

LOL, yeah, those zinc pushers are no joke...

The more surprising one to me he is how hard the super light plastic/foam baton rounds hit even at relatively long distances.

After seeing what one of those foam rounds did to a chain-link fence at ~50yrds, I'd prob. rather be hit with a baseball bat than one of those...

Anything moving at a good clip... hurts. Both the M781 and the baton rounds could inflict serious hurt on a bad guy!

Yes, and those zinc pushers are hard to find after you fire them!!

I use a metal detector and still lose half of them. 

Got that right, I've shot maybe 12 so far and only found one pusher. I was surprised at the weight! Now that's a pumpkin ball if there ever was one.

The problem is they are spinning, and when they hit the ground they tend to bounce and fly off to the right.

Uh oh! Neighbors are to the right!
