If you have absolutely no conditions where you would accept something going wrong and be willing to work it out... well, don't do business with anyone, you are a fundamentally unreasonable human being and will be disappointed. If, like most people, you can imagine situations where you would basically say "wow, yeah that sucked, I understand why you didn't make the meet up and were hard to get in touch with," then you should probably attempt to get in contact with the person. Example. Dude gets in a serious car accident on the way to the meet up. Missing the appointment is reasonable if you left after an hour and he was still trying ot get a tow/filling out accident reports/trying to find a ride, etc. Missing it and being unreachable immediately is reasonable if he wound up in the hospital for a couple of days. If he's out of action, yes, posting a -1 is not out of whack after a little wait and an attempt to contact, to be removed later once things are explained. From the OPs post, he's basically describing what could be summed up as the guy being unreachable for about an hour, so don't do business with him.

He screwed a lot of people over in business relations costing some folks some serious cash form what I have heard, and his ex-wife was particularly unhappy with him. You want the single behavior to maximize your chance of being a victim of homicide? Screw around on your spouse, or screw around with someone else's spouse. It nearly doubles your chances over say.. getting into a gang and actively dealing drugs.

Seriously? What kind of spydercos were you using? In general, they are of vastly better quality than anything but the zero tolerance offerings form the kershaw brand (and some of the limited run high priced stuff). Don't confuse Byrd with Spyderco, just like you shouldn't trust the entire lineup of kershaw. They have added in a bunch of cheap chinese knifes and the qaultiy on them is pretty borderline, the byrd line is spyderco's chinese offerings, and they aren't as bad as the cheap kershaws. Then again they aren't as cheap as the cheap kershaws. I have a sog pendulum, I got it on a very good sale from a reputable dealer, but it is normally in the $100-115 range. It was very disappointing in terms of fit and finish for the price. My manix 2 I got at the same time from the same place for about the same price (which was not a sale price for the spyderco) really impressed me. The manix is sharper with a better polish to the edge, the jimping is effecting and not harsh, the sog's is rough and feels almost stamped out. The manix uses g-10 scales. The sog uses a molded zytel scale that I'm not sure if it is poorly executed or poorly conceived. The manix is made in the USA, the SOG in japan, so there is that as well. It's not crap, but it's likely to be my first and last sog folder. Not just knife snobbery, I own all those brands and then some, even the cheap chinese stuff. I think the byrd line of knives was a mistake as they have several VERY nice domestic products between $50-100, and the $20-30 price range might be nice for high volume sales, but for the guy who isn't going to spend $50 for quality, you need to be seeing those suckers at lowes, home depot, dicks, sports authority, or something along those lines, and I'm not seeing them in person anywhere. If you shop around for the lowest price, the spyderco Native III is still my call for absolute best value in a folder. Tough, ergonomic, sharp, good fit and finish, and affordable, although no longer available for $37 from walmart ($67 now). The delica is $50 form them, and if you are cross shopping that vs someone marking up a $30 byrd knife because they can't sort through everything on the internet easily, they just diluted their brand and the only one who made a lot more money off of it was the retailer.

Yeah I thought that too, but apparently del-ton thought differently. Must have an odd sized gas port to run reliably as anything other than a single shot. The answer to the OP is if you are running an riffle length receiver extension, you use the rifle buffer. If it is undergassed, you can either get a lightweight one, or you can open it up and remove some weights. 1" delrin rod stock chopped is one of the better choices to fill in for the removed weights. 1" dowel will do, but it can take a beating in there.

You don't see drug commercials like that because regulations don't permit it, not because the drugs don't help anyone.

Well if all my other correspondence represents a pattern, an initial automatic form letter saying he s considering both sides of the issue of banging underage prostitutes, and that he will consider your opinion. Then a follow up form letter that says banging underage prostitutes is in the best interest of the public because he says so, you're an a-hole and to screw yourself. Just slightly more politic wording.

If you do, I can host with other contact documents I'm already doing.

Why would I pay match bullet prices for bulk crap? Especially when some places are letting you back order the match grade bullets.

So the choice is frothy and loony, or long-winded and dryer than paint.

That sounds like disassembly. He said OPERATE. and it will operate without the detent as it should always be touching the carrier during operation, even with the detent in place. Once you start levering the upper away form the lower on disassembly, ti buffer will try to do it's own thing though.

Similar issues during late night christmas baking. Unless I have lots of extras egg gets cracked into a bowl by itself then dumped where it needs to go.

Had a SA TRP operator full rail. IT had a similar problem. It hasn't caused issues.

Psychopharmacology has always perplexed me as a business and as a means of therapy. It exists because of a mechanistic view of the mind, which is arguably not incorrect. Your brain is a soup of chemicals, and it reacts a certain way to chemical X regardless of the source being your body or something introduced form the outside. Sounds reasonable, and tests seem to prove it is more or less correct. The problem is that at the same time, the explanation for the mentally ill is that their checmical soup is missing some ingredients, or not processing those ingredients properly. They will readily admit that there are a number of mechanisms to arrive at that divergent situation from the middle of the curve. Then they make a drug that does ONE thing to the ecosystem of the brain, and expect predictable results from what are by definition folks with non standard wiring. It bothered me less when I was younger and the general attitude to chemical therapies were that either you were taking them short term to make it possible for you to develop non chemical methods of coping, or despite what anyone said to the contrary, you had been placed in chemical restraints to make you tolerable for everyone else to be around, you would be bounced from drug to drug as they became less effective, and if it made you die younger from horrible side effects that's just a bonus as the point was never to make you well but to make you stop being a problem. Wind the clock ahead many years, the wife and I had a kid and everyone looked at us like we had three heads when we said we weren't on any medications, especially mood altering ones.

Noveske makes one. ranier arms sells a jig to drill any of the screw on kinds.

NONE of the issues with ccs are new. There is no new fee. There has been a retail lobby to make cc use more amenable to them, and a card company lobby to make them more profitable. The ONLY reason you are seeing changes is because ccs were impacting money creation so severely. The banks were having issues maintaining reserves, so they eased up. The merchants were having issues maintaining margins and profit, so they stepped up pressure. The government likes to believe you can control the economy with a single dial, and they wanted one less hand on that dial. Then they dressed it up as consumer protection. The only thing this potentially changes is some signage and the opportunity for large retailers to screw the consumer. Big chains like Wal mart negotiate flat fee swipe fees on the order of a few cents. They can isolate cc customers and hit them with 4%. Or you can use your Walmart brand cc to pay at the company store. Heck, they could run Walmart bank and have your pay check direct deposited right to them.

Yeah but this is only local access buys, so how much does that really affect the larger sources of money impacted by this. My cable company is not TW, but the only ads I see that MIGHT be local cable ad purchases are Henry rifles, and they wouldn't fall under the terms of this restriction.

Absolute worst case is that you would have to sell to a licensed NJ retail entity (i.e. the right kind of FFL), anything beyond that would be a defacto ammo ban. Currently for now, if it is rifle ammo, then like intercooler said.. a UPS account.. and a means of accepting credit cards if theyw ant to go direct to customer.

NJKen is correct, but there is more to the topic. Like is there any point to neck sizing only? Like ken said, ifyou do that, the ammo is only really good for that one specific gun more or less. Does it provide any advantage? It potentially adds consistency, and that is about it. Are you sorting your brass by case volume? No? Then there is no point.Sorting your cases comes somewhere after Are you guarnateeing the orientation of the cartridge when loaded in the chamber? Unless you had your action squared and trued by someone good at doing that, there's no point. Will it make your cartridges last longer? Not unless you are annealing case necks it wont. Without annealing, you are work hardening the thinnest portion of the case most likely to split first anyway. It's one of those things where when you are chasing the last teensy bit of precision, it's worth trying. IMO if you don't have access to 300 yards of range at a minimum AND you are chasing 1/2MOA or less groups at that range, I don't know that it is worth bothering with. It might not even be then. That's not an absolute, just the extent of my experience. It might be irrelevant well past those thresholds.

Good luck with that. The magazine pipeline isn't as backed up as the gun and ammo pipeline, but it is backed up and everyone's prices along the way are jacked up at least a little bit. This will calm down once the distributors can put in some decent inventory at normal prices AND have sold out their inventory with a price premium on them. That's at LEAST 6 months away assuming demand declines in a couple months. I wouldn't be surprised if it got to be a year of backorder. In that case, the odds of catching up before interim elections would be low, and if they don't go well for RKBA, demand will be back at high levels due to that. account for inflation and mags were at record levels of chepaness, they might not be coming back. Once the 10 round limit sunset, 10 rounders were still a premium becuase they were oddball mags usually requiring more materials or labor.

Actually, I think it is an awesome parallel. They banned the big gulp, and it has no practical effect other than to have people buy multiples until they have the quantity they want. Their efforts at gun control to effect change in the behavior of an individual is equally pointless.

Don't write off jack for USPSA as far as the standard stuff goes. Most of your fee goes to the host club, and there is no method of accounting for labor that would remotely pass muster if it even was eligible. MDs and stuff MIGHT be able to write off fuel, etc. for travel to the annual sectional meeting. The section coordinator is supposed ot attend all the matches in their section at some point, and could probably consider writing off the costs related to that. But both of those are much more involved in keeping USPSA running as a donation of time, materials, and labor without a middle man involved.

Probably windows 8. A LOT of stuff that uses javascript and involves I/O is severely broken under windows 8 as the OS apparently changed the underlying api for the touch interface without making it work properly for a keyboard, mouse, and lots of existent websites or parts thereof. This forum's editor is simple compared to some AJAX based applications, it was giving us fits at work, we just had to declare it broken and currently unsupported. We'll see what happens with our site licnese regarding it. Hopefully we skip it and stick with 7 until 9 shows up (at least).

We had 37 people at the OB match, which given the weather was a larger turnout than I would have expected based on history. Heck, the last couple years the January match has wound up cnacelled due to weather. Same goes for the cancellation of the January match for CJ. However Jan was on par with your average winter match (32 vs. 34 for Feb 2011 Feb 2012 was viciously cold, we only ahd 16). Based on previous shortages and runs on equipment and supplies, I'd suspect we'll see a 20% drop off in general until prices get back to something closer to normal. The only good news is that despite an uptick in copper, zinc, and lead prices since 1-15, they seem to be stabilizing instead of running away. Which means that manufacturers are only passing on a 10-20% jump in materials prices instead of 100-200% like one of the last shortages.

Primarily, due to the rally on the 8th. We don't want folks saying "well, I'm already doing one shooting related thing this weekend." Even more importantly, a number of hte folks I usually lean on to get the match done will be going to the rally, and I don't want to be brow beating them all weak to try and get stuff in early. Additionally, the schedule sucks for the MD(s) as friday is the rally, saturday is the sectional meeting, and sunday would have been the match. Add to that it's the February match at CJ which is traditionally bitter cold and has poor turnout. If you don't show up Friday, get used to the revised schedule for Sunday as there won't be a whole lot of other options if we don't speak up now.

That makes it good? It's a handful of legitimate points written poorly, mired in lots of right wing frothing and borderline tinfoil hattery. When the message gun owners are getting crucified is that gun owners are a bunch of mentally unstable loons, that's not the kind of article that actually helps.
