Ugh, I just paid $119.99 for the UMC Bulk at Dick's in Rockaway. (Knew I was WAY overpaying, but it still hurts to see it written out.)

+1 on Caso's. Awesome customer service, Lisa is about as nice as they come.

The great thing about magazine springs is that they're cheap (even top-of-the-line springs) and can be replaced fairly easily. Also, +1 on the 2 rounds short of capacity for HD magazines.

The guys from OnPoint Tactical recommend using a 10% permethrin solution for ticks: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00061MSRQ/ref=s9_k2as_se_tr05?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=auto-no-results-center-1&pf_rd_r=0B8REYSE7GQAD9RC2SKW&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=480051571&pf_rd_i=permethrin You mix in 2 cap fulls with your laundry and it's good for about 8 washings. Apparently this stuff kills ticks and 'squitos on contact. When you're doing the laundry, you must use rubber gloves to touch the clothes while they're wet, but once they're dry, the chemical becomes inert. Also, its not absorbed through skin once dry, so its safe.

This topic came up on the OnPoint Tactical forum a few weeks ago and these were recommended: http://www.oakley.com/catalog/products/s-i-assault-boot-6-inch Never knew Oakley made boots, but apparently they're pretty good.

I also own the ice cube tray. It doesn't work that great...

+1 on the East Hanover lodge employees being dicks. If you can ever f'ing find one of them.

I'm a big fan of the ghost ring sights on my Mossy 590A1. I also have the Surefire forend light.

East Hanover Plenty of .40S&W Remington UMC, 50-round boxes for $19.99. They also had 250-round bulk packs of .45ACP (also UMC, yellow boxes) for $119.99.

Midway has a pair that was recommended to me on sale right now: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=160677 Also, you can use coupon code 10503110 for another $10 off.

The "In-stock Ammo" list is clutch! Just wish they listed prices...

1/2 man, 1/2 bear, 1/2 pig.

+1 on the Wilson Combat 47Ds Also, Tripp Research mags are pretty good. http://www.trippresearch.com/index.html

+1 on the Px4. it's awesome in .40, definitely handles the snappy recoil well.

Dammit! I was so excited to post about this story! Nice find, Malsua.

I emailed them the day I picked up the shotgun, but haven't heard back from them yet. Also heard about them on the shotgun world forums. Links below. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=124982&highlight http://www.aimprotactical.com/index.html If they get back to me and I get the heatshield, I'll post a thread about it.

chad, does the one in the middle have the heavy-walled barrel? i just picked up a 590A1 (#51663) and apparently you can't get a heatshield for it due to the heavy-walled barrel...
