  1. Under $100, combo 150 lumen LED light and red laser with remote pressure switch. I've got two of them: http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=FMTFLS&groupid=59
  2. Question on bolt/bolt carrier action: The CMMG bolt carrier that came with the upper would "snap" lock into battery when pushed all the way forward into the upper; the bolt would rotate, the lugs would line up and then it would stay that way unless I gave a little tug on the bolt carrier or the charging handle. The Adams Arms piston kit came with an "anti-tilt" carrier. The instructions have you take the gas rings off the bolt, put a spring on the bolt shaft and then put it into the AA carrier. It all seems to fit fine, but I notice that the AA Carrier doesn't "snap" into battery. If you don't keep constant forward pressure on the bolt carrier it will move back out of battery. The bolt still appears to be working correctly in that it rotates and locks. Is that normal/ok? Does the buffer/buffer spring in an AR normally provide forward force to keep the bolt carrier pushed forward? Basically, should the AA bolt carrier be acting the same way that the CMMG carrier did originally?
  3. Some of them were getting a good breast weld on the stock.
  4. I don't listen to Yeager much after that vid came out where he had a photographer for his class standing downrange, in between targets, photographing students shooting towards him. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/06/17/highly-controversial-training-video/
  5. Not sure it would either, but there's no specific exclusion for non-incendiary tracer ammo besides the shotgun/skeet use.
  6. What happens if I register as wankertosser?
  7. Beauty. Do those "sniper" stocks no longer count as a collapsible stock?
  8. Oh crap, here I go again! Thanks for the heads up again Maks! (22 boxes is the magic number to just bump you over the $150 order to qualify for free shipping)
  9. May need to double check the legality of shooting it in NJ:
  10. Got them, like them as an emergency backup if there's no flashlight. However, you should really, REALLY have a flashlight along with your HD gun all the time. Night sights will help you get on target in low light conditions. They will not help you identify that target as friend or foe, though.
  11. Your gun can't move 2 tons of steel at 100 mph either. Both are dangerous when their energy is focused the "wrong" way.
  12. DD Lite 12.0 rail and Adams Arms piston kit arrived tonight. Holy crap, that DD rail is **LIGHT**. I'm afraid if I sneeze I might blow it off the desk. Adams Arms kit comes with a special anti-til" bolt carrier. Wondering if I should spring for one of those "anti-tilt" buffers, or just go with a regular buffer and see how everything works out. The shipment did not include the DD wrench I ordered, so hopefully that will show up before the weekend. In the meantime I'll start swapping the bolt from the CMMG carrier over to the AA carrier.
  13. Read the PDF. Couple of things that jumped out at me:
  14. I'm a fan of the G26. Cheaper ammo means more shots to practice with for the same $. You can use the 15 round G19 mags in the G26 too, so you can carry the stock 10 rounder loaded and a 15 round as a backup. Out of the box it doesn't have a long enough grip for your pinky to rest on, but put a +1 or +2 mag extender on it and it will. Love the guide rod laser I have in mine, gets you on target in a hurry without adding any extra width or snag points to the gun. It's not going to be an easy pocket conceal though, unless you're sporting cargo/baggy pants with wide pockets.
  15. First purchase was in 2008, Glock 26 bought from Ramsey Outdoor. Gun counter guy was very friendly and transaction went smoothly. I overpaid, but after 6+ months of waiting for FID/Pistol permit I just wanted the damn gun.
  16. Hrmm, look at what I just found: http://www.heavybuffers.com/anticant.html
  17. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/24/love-handles-stop-bullet_n_473947.html
  18. Cool concept, wake me up if it ever gets produced.
  19. Recycling a couple of earlier posts I made in another thread on this subject: Are you counting the pass-throughs that went to Goldman as a result of the AIG bailout/paying for CDS at 100%? What about the myriad of low/no cost lending facilities and backstops by the Federal Reserve and FDIC? To refresh your memory: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/10-ways-say-no-banks-have-not-paid-back-their-debt-taxpayer Where's the discount window for the taxpayers, eh? Who pays for the hit if all that agency debt and MBS on the Fed's balance sheet don't perform? The taxpayers. ------ I'm not saying the banks are "evil", however you want to define that, but they sure aren't blameless, either. In the housing bubble peak years, they either overtly committed, or were complicit with, fraud on a large scale with the underwriting of mortgages and/or packaging into mortgage backed securities. They failed to do sound underwriting such as verifying of income and sound appraisals because they knew they could pass the mortgage off onto some other bagholder before it blew up. MBS's are still detonating in the hands of investors around the world. How much damage has been done to pension funds in the US alone? How do you feel about Goldman Sachs selling MBS's to customers on one side of the office, and then taking huge bets against the performance of those same securities on the other side? Is taking taxpayer provided liquidity and using it to finance speculation such as leasing oil tankers to hold oil offshore in the hopes of driving oil prices up in the public interest? How many of the big banks are truly solvent right now? Are you sure? Do you know for certain how much bad debt that they've got in off balance sheet vehicles and/or marked at par when it's not optimally performing? Why is it that we seem to have had such ineffectual regulators and lax accounting standards until recently? I don't have a problem with Wall St. making money in of itself; I do have a problem when they are able to privatize their profits while at the same time socializing their losses and effectively "capturing" their regulators.
  20. I doubt it would be an issue but you might want to look at the rulebook just in case. I bet if anything everyone will just be jealous that you have an ammo sponsor.
