  1. This is the one I have: http://www.index-security.com/Product_N_PDFs/BioBOX.htm Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's readily available any more. There used to be a dealer on ebay that had them for just over $200. It has never failed to open via the fingerprint reader for me. The only two complaints I have are that the fingerprint reader cover latch can be hard to close (but it always opens quickly) and that the safe itself may require a manual reset of the locking mechanism if you leave it open for more than a minute.
  2. Hornady critical defense is my pistol HD load.
  3. Possible? Unavoidable in the long term. But for now our government continues to enjoy demand for our debt so we get to continue throwing money down rat holes.
  4. Sorry to hear you're having problems with it. I have a fingerprint/biometric pistol box too, different design and not sure if it's the same manufacturer or not, but it has worked flawlessly for over a year now on one 9 volt battery. If you're interested in another brand/model give me a yell and I'll post the specifics.
  5. A bandolier is not an "Ammunition Feeding Device" you could have a case of rounds on a bandolier and it wouldnt be an issue. Thanks for the confirmation.
  6. Yes it was a bandolier of shotgun shells Wait, do bandoliers of shotguns shells fall under the magazine rule?
  7. Yeah, they were doing well up until the musical...
  8. Ordered it today for 360. PM me for xbox live tag if you want to get some Posse. wait...that doesn't sound right...
  9. Yeah, really. Who puts a revolver grip on an AR!?
  10. Wow, looking at the dimensions, that's a compact 1911! Is that the smallest 9mm 1911 out there?

    PS90 Fun

    Looks like fun! That PS90 seems like a full size battle rifle when your son holds it!
  12. Nope, it was Barbara, she competed in the stages too.
  13. A range officer from Pocono Pistol Club was at the IDPA match I competed in on Sunday, also promoting the event and handing out business cards. I may have to go check it out. http://www.poconopistol.com Range fees seem high though, $18 an hour + $9 for another person at the same port?
  14. Latest on the investigation here: http://www.deepwaterinvestigation.com/go/doc/3043/550343/
  15. This is the best source of info about the spill I've seen. It's a blog, opinionated and technical: http://alfin2100.blogspot.com/ Here's the official web site on the spill: http://www.d8externalaffairs.com/go/site/2931/#/
  16. Build: Pros - Customization. Get your AR in the *exact* configuration you want instead of having to choose from what is offered. Build exactly what you want while keeping it NJ legal instead of having to settle for a manufacturer's generic "NJ/MA/MD legal" version. - Knowledge. Learn all about the AR internals and have no fear of detail stripping it - Can buy parts over time. If money is an issue, you can buy parts as you can afford them instead of having to save for the full purchase price Cons - Time. It takes time to assemble all the components. Took me about half a day to do the lower build as I was learning from scratch - Tools. Unless you have a buddy who already has the AR "infrastructure" that you can use you'll likely need to buy an upper vise block and possibly a lower vise block and barrel wrench as well. I spent ~$100 in tools. - Support. If you run into an issue with your rifle you'll have to deal with possibly many separate manufacturers/dealers to get it resolved instead of just one manufacturer. Buy: Pros - Time. Buy it, shoot it. Done. - Tools. To start you'll likely need nothing more than a cleaning kit. - Support. Something goes wrong, you deal with one dealer and/or manufacturer. Cons - Lack of customization. You may not get exactly what you want out of the box, but you can likely change it on your own later. - Price. Many will argue that it's cheaper to build an equivalent AR from part instead of buying from a dealer. I'd argue that's only true if your time is cheap *AND* you don't factor in buying the tools that you need. I really see the price as a wash, unless you buy a used complete rifle. The 2 main reasons I built instead of bought is that I wanted specific features that I couldn't find in a complete package anywhere while staying NJ legal, and I enjoy tinkering and wanted to know all about the rifle internals.
  17. Thanks, really pleased that it all came together. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and actual in-person help (Thanks again Junkman!)
  18. Back from the inaugural firing at the bullet hole. Holy crap, that was fun. Worked flawlessly through about 250 rounds of PMC. No failures of any kind. The gas block does get HOT with sustained steady fire though, and I found myself having to stop shooting, set the rifle down and step back out of the port in between magazines to get a full deep breath - seems like a gas cloud was just hovering over my head. I was very nervous on the first shot though. Although I had function checked all the upper and lower components multiple times it is still a tense moment of truth when pulling the trigger on a live round the first time.
  19. So did mine, but I want to try a paracord wrap first.
  20. My first ever AR build (excuse me, first ever AR ASSEMBLY). CMMG upper/medium gov't profile barrel Sundevil billet lower Adams Arms Piston kit DD 12.0 lite rail POF roller cam pin Ace entry stock (waiting on an order of paracord to wrap around the buffer tube) Muzzle brake pinned by PK90.
  21. Ended up running the edges on the bottom of the bcg over a knife sharpening stone I had to round them off. I think that solved the case gouging/scoring problem. If all goes well, it will have its first firing at the bullet hole tomorrow.
