I kind of have to disagree with 2Alpha. Only kind of though, depending on what question he is answering. I shot l-10 using a single stack for several years out of a race holster. I now shoot l-10 with a 2011 wide body out of a kydex holster. Can you be competitive with a 1911 in a kydex holster? DEFINITELY. Are you making life harder for yourself? Yes. Are you limiting your performance? Potentially. I'm a better shooter now than I was when I was shooting the single stack, but the one thing I actually got GOOD at were doing reloads with the skinny mags fast. I was easily as fast with them then as I am with the fat mags now. The main thing was to have that speed and consistency with the single stack mags I had to practice my reloads all the time. I had WAY more time to practice then, and reload practice plus everything else I needed to practice exceeded my time budget for practicing. Sure, it made reloading anything NOT single stack seem like a cakewalk, but the reality was that to move up in class, given my time constraints, I NEEDED to practice other things. Moving to double stack platforms in production and l-10 let me practice other things more, and I got better overall. As far as the race holster, I had been using it while doing some well logged practicing for improvement, so I had drills and performance logs for them from my peak perfomance with them. Moving to a dropped and offset kydex holster in l-10 with literally about an hour of dry fire in the draw and fire drills I had logged to get used to the drills again, I gave up on the average roughly 0.2 seconds on the draw. What I got for that 0.2 seconds was a WAY lower screw up factor and much more consistency establishing a good grip on the draw. Also when I did land a bad grip, bad was MUCH less bad than with the race holster. I might migrate back to race holsters if I manage to get to the point that 0.2 seconds on the draw sounds like low hanging fruit, but it's not looking like a likely scenario trying to go form A to M. Maybe M to GM, but I don't think I have the kind of time it takes to shoot for GM. Heck, my time and money budgets may not let me leave A. If you are a D or low C shooter, then there's so much you need to practice, you can get a really good start with the gear you have that there's no good reason to spend the money on anything but ammo. If you hit the great sucking void of B doing it, that skinny mag reload practice can be MUCH better spent elsewhere. SO hopefully a little bit more useful than "no".

hint, it's a carcinogen because it is a petrochemical product. Most lubes probably are. Shooting doesn't expose you to them enough to matter. The amount of sooty particulate shot into the air you breathe from shooting pales in comparison form what comes out of your car and you breathe during rush hour. It also pales in toxicity compared to what is generated by setting off a primer. The ONLY reason to use mobile 1 is because you run your AR sopping wet and mobile 1 is CHEAP compared to firearms lube while still working well enough. I don't run my ARs sopping wet, I don't clean them that much, and I don't have problems (I do take care ot lube them sufficiently in a manner that works). However, running them sopping wet and getting them dirty or dusty can have issues. (note: for me, I usually clean them once every 1000-1500 rounds unless I get caught in the rain. Wet guns always get cleaned and dried before getting put away). Many of them are indeed industrial lubes repackaged. However, they most often are NOT something you or I can buy off a shelf at an auto parts store in a reasonable quantity. I found out what one of the lubes I like is, and it is indeed a repackaged specialty industrial lubricant. It is sold in units that will last me 2-3 years and cost about $12. The smallest container of it I could find cost $250. Sure, I'm paying $12 for what is between $1 and $1.25 of lube, some packaging, and the labor to get it IN that packaging. However, to save money, I'd either have to go into business trying to undercut the seller of the lube, or figure out how to eventually make good use of about 600 years worth of gun lube. Assuming it is stable for that long. Then I would have to find a reasonable smaller container/applicator to load it up into, etc. I'll pay the $12. On the other hand, if I ran out of lube while traveling for whatever reason, I'd gladly pick up a quart of decent synthetic motor oil as a field expedient solution to my problem.

This is jsut election year stumping. Sorry. If there were enough votes in the senate to ratify this, there'd probably be enough votes to amend the 2nd out of existence as well. On top of that, the article sixtytwo327 included, he didn't bold all the pertinent info. In the end, the U.S. and other countries succeeded in ensuring the treaty must be approved unanimously, so any one country can effectively veto a deal. The other five top arms suppliers are Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. Wood, Macdonald and Abramson said some of the top arms trading countries have been joining other nations in an attempt to weaken the treaty. They said the United States, China, Syria and Egypt were pushing to exclude ammunition. China, they added, wants to exempt small arms, while several Middle East states oppose making compliance with human rights norms a mandatory criterion for allowing arms deliveries. It's not really an issue until they go back to the drawing board yet again. Then they STILL have to get the senate to ratify it with a 2/3 majority. If it were a bill in the senate or house, it would be dead in committee right now and a non issue until the committee makeup changes, or you see it revised and issued with a new bill number.

Uspsa doesn't require membership for level one matches. (your local club matches). Uspsa membership is required for level 2 and up iirc.

I don't remember the bit for 11a that mentions picking up a firearm for someone else when it is a repair. Also looks like they may have clarified the explanations of the disqualifier questions. Just going from memory though.

You'd probably have to fire a lot of cwa workers to cut those programs.

Probably right around the time the unions pushed hard into public sector workplaces that already had strong protections on the workforce. I have to deal with them and I can tell you there are a lot of incompetents who should be fired, and when a worker has a legit gripe, they are left out to dry through incompetence. Beyond that there was this change sometime in the 70s or 80s where the heart of most negotiations was decent wages and full employment. Now it's "we'll never concede a pay rate or obscene benefits package, no matter how many union employees we have to sacrifice, especially If it means the total dues goes up. " Also, like most activist groups, when faced with success, they NEVER say our work is done here when they can make a buck with mission creep.

The link doesn't work for me on my iPhone. I'm assuming it is the grip screw with another screw in it that can take out pre travel. It doesn't affect disconnector engagement or anything after the sear disengages. You can take so much pre travel out that you can bump it off the sear. If you don't understand the at trigger mechanics thoroughly, and know how to do a good safety check for sear engagement, you shouldn't be messing with such things.

Have this setup on 3 guns. Works well.

Ok, so who's parts are all the fancy bits.

Cutting a barrel isn't super hard. Recrowning it is harder, but still in the realm of doable by a mechanically skilled person with the right hand tools. Retreading it needs a good lathe, and a big one. Advice i have been given is that if you want to do a you can as an ar smith, you want a 40" lathe. That's a big lathe. Even with the equipment, you need to get your threads concentric to the bore so that the bullets don't hit the muzzle device. Just the barrel work is likely going to run you about $235-250 plus shipping back and forth. That's if the places I know of will take the barrel in for work since they are ar-15 only shops.

I bit on their 20% off reloading gear sale. Got the Rcbs bench swager for under $64 shipped. Next best price I found, including shipping, was over $92. Took two business days to bill my card, and three more to ship. Since it is a retail box item, hopefully they can't mess up the contents.

Eh, I ream my primer pockets, all my lc brass is 08, and I use federal match primers. I don't get every one back. All you know about them is that odds are they have been shot at least twice.

We are ground zero for high quality heroin hitting the us. We are at the point where given the purity and price, one dose can cost less than a beer at the bar. Might explain why we don't have a crazy meth problem like most of the country.

I suspect the state where these homicides occurred could charge him with something. Or conduct their own investigation and demand the same evidence, then hold him in contempt and issue a warrant for his arrest. Going to the mat for a fugitive might be past obamas limits in an election year.

In general, thing that put the blast forward aren't that effective. The Nordic comps aren't brutal and work ok. The JP tank brake is one of if not the most effective, but it is huge and pretty loud. Sound wise, most anything is an improvement on the mini y comp.

Could be new unprimed brass loaded by someone, or it could be reloaded once fired with the crimp removed. You'd have to post pics for anyone to tell.

Duracoat makes a product called durafil to cover up pitting. No idea how effective it is. Matte finishes will hide more, so I'd suggest that too.

I vote for this one. I had a Burris 4-12 mounted on my 10/22 in signature zee rings. Ran out of adjustment and was off left like the op. Flipped the rings 180 and after cranking the windage back to somewhere near the middle of adjustment, it was dead on.

Your iPad has some hammer follow there. Might want to have a smith look at it.

Smith comp, mini y comp, y comp, miculek comp, Benny Cooley comp, Jo tank brake, nordict tactical comp, Nordic corvette comp, Nordic shark comp, hammerhead comp, Titan comp, tti recoil eliminator, sure fire has at least three flavors of their revision of the f-2 comp, the f-2 comp, talon comp, firebird comp, levang linear comp, etc. there are probably 50 or 60 that make the cut.

I suspect much less hard once you atomize it.

There's a whole bunch of things scrambled on google area 51 is just one of them.

From a constitutionality view, I don't like it. Taxing not doing anything is bad precedent. As far as the commerce clause goes, claiming interstate commerce for the individual mandate when the same law forbids that individual from buying across state lines seems sketchy. As far as the ends being acceptable, making a kid 26 years old for insurance purposes has already made insurance cost more for me. As more features activate it will cost even more. Worst though will be the hit to people just getting by. Realistically they have said you need to drop $4k+ on a policy or you get fined $2800. They don't care if that means you can't make the rent or feed the kids. If you choose to feed and shelter your family rather than paying the tax, you can have your kids taken and go to jail. For a very real segment of the population, it means $2800 less a year, and STILL no healthcare as well as less other necessities, or go to jail.

Could just be the camera. Digital sensors have IR filters, but they only do so much. REALLY hot things will come out purplish like trying to take pictures of glowing coals at night. It would still need to be a pretty hot flame. Only thing I could think would cause that much fire in that crash is if the stopped traffic was for an in progress car fire and the crash added fuel.
