SOLD [WTS] FP Laserspeed M6TR, CHS Edition

I'm selling my lightly used FP Laserspeed M6TR. This is the Cold Harbour Supply version with the updated mode markings on the rear that reflect NATO units. It works flawlessly, is insanely bright on high power, and very usable on low power. Unit is like new and 100% functional, other than some rub marks on the rear upper edge from being in a case/bag with other stuff. Comes with the factory pouch and accessories as well as some 3d printed lens covers that you can pop peq15 diffusers into.

SOLD Custom Remington 700 SA 22-250 Rifle

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

I have for sale a custom Remington 700 SA BDL 22-250 done by Todd Bettin out of Iowa about 20 years ago when he still did this type of work. He only does full custom work now. Never really used the rifle after receiving it from him. Maybe 50 rounds total if that fired down the pipe.

Action is trued/blue printed by Todd
Sako Extractor
Barrel is a 22” 1:12 twist Krieger lined carbon fiber barrel Sendero profile. I believe by Saturn Barrels when they were first staring out.
Action/barrel Cerakoted OD green
Not sure on barrel threads. Think it’s 5/8x24 with muzzle break made by Todd but was long ago, could be custom thread size.
Jewel 700 Trigger
Fiberglass thumbhole stock pillars/glass bedded.
All other action parts are all Cerakoted OD green.
Shooting 52 grain V-Max 1/2 MOA pretty easy at 100 yards. (Todd made a custom load for me, I still have the load data)
Haven’t shot rifle in over 10 years, sitting in safe.

Was going to have the action Cerakoted in black, put it in an XLR Atom chassis, find a 50 grain copper factory load for it (California) and get it out for varmint hunting, but decided to build a .243 instead to shoot factory copper Boattails.

I will upload pictures when I can get home on February 3rd. Have to get off duty from fire station.

PM me with any questions. We can talk on phone also. $1200 shipped FFL to FFL.

Greg.

Accessories Used Surefire SOCOM300 SPS

This silencer is on a Form 3 ready to eFile to your dealer.

It was shot approximately 960 rounds on my Surgeon CSR. 308. Silencer never got that hot and never saw any full auto.

It has some light wear marks at the muzzle, lock up/alignment on Surefire muzzle devices is great. The silencer was specifically designed for .300 BLK but sounds amazing on .308. I just got a lighter titanium can and don't use this anymore.

$750 shipped SOLD

Coastal Firearms in Florida - Legit or Scam?

Can anyone advise if they have any knowledge of, or have dealt with, Coastal Firearms in Florida?
https://coastalfirearmshop.com/

From their website:
Located in Florida, Coastal Firearms started as a small gun shop in 1999 and has grown into an industry-leading internet retailer of nearly 200,000 Shooting, Hunting, Fishing, and Outdoor products. Our 400,000 sq ft, state of the art, distribution center provides fast, accurate, secure, low-cost shipping for our Customers.

I have looked everywhere, and I cannot find a physical address for where they are located. Based on numerous phone number area codes it is coming up as being in Melbourne, Orlando, Marathon.

It looks like a very legit operation based on their online presence, however when I tried to pay for the order, there was a lot of weird stuff that started going on. There has also been a lot of weird stuff going on trying to follow up with the order and payment.

I am not going to follow through with the payment if I can't get any solid verification from someone here.

For now, I would say buyer beware!!! Thanks!

Former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez Sobs in Court as Judge Sentences Him to 11 YEARS in Prison For Bribery!



bob-menendez-1200x630.jpg



Former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption.
Prosecutors asked SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to sentence Menendez to 15 years in prison.
Bob Menendez’s lawyers initially asked for a 2-year sentence, however, after they changed it to 8 years after the judge sentenced the former lawmaker’s co-conspirators to 7 years and 8 years respectively.

#breaking: Bob Menendez now asking for EIGHT year sentence, up from the two years (or less) he asked for in writing – his lawyer Adam Fee says this is based on what happened this morning, 8 years on Daibes, 97 months on Hana. Inner City Press live tweeting below https://t.co/afqeWqUBAb

Menendez sobbed as he begged Judge Stein to have mercy on him.

Menendez: I was consumed by my service, I neglected my two children [sobs] Let me give you examples… bone marrow transplant, from a sister who was a native of El Salvador-
Judge Stein: You got her a visa
Menendez: She was denied twice. I intervened, yes
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025

Judge Stein eviscerated Bob Menendez and called him a corrupt politician.

Judge Stein: Almost half a million dollars in your house, cash stuffed in shoes, gold bars… Hubris, you’ll have to figure it out yourself. General deterrence is important. The sentence I intend to impose is 11 years
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025

The judge sentenced Menendez to 11 years!! This is pretty much a life sentence for 71-year-old Menendez.
The judge did not impose a fine on Menendez.
Menendez’s co-conspirators were sentenced to prison on Wednesday. Wael Hana was sentenced to 8 years and Fred Daibes was sentenced to 7 years.

Bob Menendez just arrived at Manhattan Federal Courthouse.
—Prosecutors are asking for a 15 years in prison.

Fred Daibes sentenced to 7 years.

Menendez resigned on August 20 after then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other powerful Democrats pressured him to step down following his conviction.
New Jersey’s Democrat Governor Phil Murphy appointed his former Chief of Staff George Helmy to temporarily replace Menendez for the remainder of the term. In November Democrat Andy Kim won the senate election to serve with Cory Booker.
“While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work,” Menendez wrote in his resignation letter to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
“Furthermore, I cannot preserve my rights upon a successful appeal, because factual matters before the ethics committee are not privileged,” Menendez wrote.
“I am proud of the many accomplishments I’ve had on behalf of New Jersey, such as leading the federal effort for Superstorm Sandy recovery, preserving and funding Gateway and leading the federal efforts to help save our hospitals, State and municipalities, as well as New Jersey families through a once in a century COVID pandemic,” Menendez wrote.
Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges.
The jury returned the verdict following a 9-week trial. Menendez did not testify.In October 2023 Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
The indictment filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan claims Menendez “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
Menendez was previously hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez were charged with obstruction of justice in an 18-count indictment.
Special agents discovered $500,000 of cash stuffed into envelopes in closets. “Some of the cash was stuffed in the Senator’s jacket pockets. Menendez’s wife Nadine Menendez was given a “no-show” or “low-show” job, a Mercedes Benz and other things of value, US Attorney Damian Williams said last year.
“This case has always been about shocking levels of corruption, hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, a Mercedes Benz. This wasn’t politics as usual, this was politics for profit. And now that a jury has convicted Bob Menendez, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end,” US Attorney Damian Williams said outside the courthouse in Manhattan last year.

Nadine Menendez is set to be sentenced in March.
