re: CHP Renewal - Baton Rouge

Posted by Propagandalf on 3/31/21 at 8:26 am to
I was researching this recently, also need a renewal at some point this year, and realized now renewals have to take the full course. It looks like there is a place in Denham, PD Concealed Carry, that does Zoom classes and then you schedule your time to go shoot later. I'm probably going to try to go that route as it's more convenient for me.

Awesome! I always enjoyed getting the emails with stories and pics about the rifles out in the wild.

A bit nitpicky, but the drawing is not accurate. Not to start the age old argument, but the bullet doesn't rise out of the barrel. The bullet vector should be dropping once it leaves the barrel. The line of sight vector should start at the rear sight and intersect the front sight, not start at the front site. This allows for a more true drawing where the rifle is angled up a tad and the bullet still interects the line of sight twice.

Hey folks, a buddy tipped me off on this thread. Thanks for all the kind words! The shop has been closed for about a year and a half. Basically, it boiled down to not having the capital for equipment to expand my machining/production ability to where I wanted to take the business and the increased saturation of the AR market. I didn't want to own a "gun shop", I wanted to be creating and innovating. My niche was my 6.5 Grendel offerings. In late 2018 I had finalized my design for special AR15 upper/lowers that accepted the Magpul 6.8 SPC mags and was talking to another company that was going to start producing 6.5 Grendel metal mags made that would fit these larger magwells ( TFB post about the receivers). Depending on who you were this was a big deal because it allowed for longer OAL on the Grendel (and other) cartridges which could improve ballistic qualities while staying in the AR15 size class and maintaining all the parts compatibility aside from the mag catch and mags. Long story short, after machining/shipping an initial run of the receiver sets, I sat down looked at the production data, ran the numbers and it was apparent that I would need to greatly increase my machining capability to really make it worth producing them. At the same time the 6.5 Grendel had really taken off and other companies with cheaper offerings were starting to take a bite out of my 6.5 Grendel pie. So, I decided it was probably a good time to move onto other endeavors. I sent my designs/models and some samples for the 6.8 receivers to David Famiglietti at New Frontier Armory, who was interested in producing them, and folded up shop. David unexpectedly passed away days later, however, I checked a month or so ago and it looks like they do produce the receivers. Anyways, Thanks to all that patronized the shop. I enjoyed getting to meet so many of y'all from this board!

BRFoodapp.com filter by 'Patio Open' to see a list of places that are doing patio/outside seating.

BRFoodApp.com has a bunch of restaurants doing takeout/delivery right now, you can sort by crawfish to see what's around you.

Not the 6.8 SPC, it's a telescopic cartridge. While it sounds like the bullet is going to be 6.8mm diameter, I'd be willing to bet it will be a different design than the squatty bullet the 6.8SPC uses if it's going to meet their long range claims.

The Grendel and 6.8SPC both have their devout camps, but I would stick with the Grendel as it's popularity is rapidly growing while the 6.8SPC popularity is stagnant or fading.

Drawing against the drop is a pretty advanced and high-risk manuever out of a proper IWB holster. I would imagine the skill and risk would be compound trying to draw out of an essentially "floating" holster and cleanly clear the gun from your pocket. I mean shite, it takes me a second and a little fidgeting just to get my keys out of my pocket when I'm sitting down.

incompatibility with Gen3 PMAGs


This was largely a Magpul issue and not unique to Noveske. I have some extended arm mag catches (about 30 thou longer) that will likely sort this out for your lower if the issue you are having with the Gen 3 PMags is unreliable bolt hold open after the last shot. Text me if your interested.

Not necessarily so long as you can get zoning approval at the location you want locensed. If that is your house some, cities/parishes/counties/HOAs may not allow it and the ATF will check. If it's not an issue you can get an FFL at your house.

He is incorrect about the value of a legal full auto M4/M16 that you would be making under the license though. The only way its "MUCH" more than a standard receiver set is if you are giving up your SOT and a 07/02 FFL wants to purchase it. Even then, it's less than 1k. Otherwise, you're not selling them to LEOs for much more than standard rifles, if you can even get a contract, and you're certainly not selling them to the fricking military. The only other person who would buy them is 01 FFLs with SOT and a demo letter which are hard to get and even harder to get for a M4/M16. Not to mention you would need to invest many thousands into a CNC mill, tooling and fixtures to make them if your going to attract any kind of legit buyer.
