Yeah I just read that article.... guess most of the weeds have been picked out... just reviewed my amazon past buy list. The last thing i bought was an AAC Breakout muzzle brake. When I went to tab on the reorder button site said it was no longer avaiable for sale... same with most of the other parts I ordered... well thats a damn shame.... guess I was an amazon shopper... thats T Bill.... oh by the way the 300 blackout recipe you gave me works awesome... got about 2000 rounds made. Need to stock up on powder before the winter. Lil gun and H110 still hard to find in bulk any hints where to look? Thanks...

Big problem with Amazon is counterfeit crap. You go there to buy a Toyota part and it arrives in a box that says "Tayota." They have no quality control with stuff they distribute for secondary sellers. They do have a good return policy though

If it's not sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon you take a higher risk of it being a knockoff or B grade. Don't get sucked into the lower price from "other sellers" they usually make it back up in shipping plus no PRIME shipping. If sold by other seller and fulfilled by Amazon you still take the chance of it being a knockoff but returns will be a lot easier plus u will get yer PRIME shipping on these items. You can usually find these details on the page of the selling item.

look at the bright side. if they're stopping selling this stuff......it's more business for our LOCAL dealers.

Such is true. It's not like they were the Amazon of 10 years ago. Their prices aren't the lowest anymore and they charge tax like the rest of the stores. Sometimes the stuff they sell are even priced higher at times.

I'm looking at the internal wiki trying to see what the official policy is for weapons and parts. I can say the policy was put into effect in the month of June/2016. Dunno if I can share the rest of it but yes they have an unacceptable content, products and services list now.

For the longest time they fought against this, many high profile articles highlighted them fighting the state(s) sales taxes in many places. They caved when states started giving them shit for having operation centers in states that where they got tax relief. They were eventually going to get sued into high heaven.

Yeah Sportmans Guide shit the bed when they jacked up their ammo prices after the CT mess. Ao I havent done buisness with them since... I sent Amazon an email last night expressing my dissapointment. Not that it will do much but I dont think that will sway their policies.. but you cant say I didnt try......

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
