Uhh.. no they are not 15 round mags. Yes, you cna get 15 round mags, but they are not factory CZ mags. If they hold 15 or 16 comes down to which follower they have. Every 15 rounder I have run into has been pre-94, or not a factory mag. Note that if you look at the .40 version of the 75b, it says capacity is 10. I'm certain they aren't shipping 9 round doublestack .40 magazines. I don;'t know if they have a 10 round magazine SKU, if not you'll have to find someone willing ot swap mags.

One of, if not the only, benefit of cleaning the primer pockets of straight wall pistol ammo is to cause cleaning media to get jammed in the primer pocket or flash hole and be a pain in the a**.

Most BCGs are decent. Spikes is fine, BCM is good, daniel defense is good, rainier arms thunderbolt BCG is good, Palmetto state armory deluxe BCG looks like it is sourced form the same place as most of those. For a BCG, there only a few things that REALLY matter. 1)IS it made of decent stuff? Mil-spec is sufficient. There are some parts out there made of other good steels. The thing is, if it isn't 8620 for the carrier and carpenter 158 for the bolt, and it ISN'T more expensive than the mil-spec BCGs, then I'd avoid it. 2)Is it staked right? This matters in terms of reliability, and a poorly staked gas key is likely to cause issues sooner rather than later (if it causes issues at all). The main reason why this became such a prevalent meme in the world of AR parts is because pretty much all commerical BCGs were staked like crap early on (think when people would tell you to always look at the ABCs for quality ARs. MEaning armalite, colt, and bushmaster... look at how often they are recommended these days). An example of the usual crappy commercial staking can be seen here http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=114 Looks like someone whacked it with a cold chisel form the top. Which is pretty much useless. It may still work fine because staked or not, most manufacturers use some form of serious trhead locking agent on the screws anyway. an example of good staking is here http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1578 You will note it is poked in from the sides enough to really deform the key material AND the head of the screw, AND does so in a manner that the displaced key material interferes with the rotation of the screw. 3) Is QC good? You want the bolt to be at LEAST MPI tested. Preferably HPT tested as well. About all you cna do is take the manufacturers word for it unless you want to ask them for documentation on the method and sampling frequency.

Except when it is not. Since there are tow things that are referred to as mils when talking about ranging. http://www.mil-dot.com/articles/a-note-from-the-leupold-engineers

You can always try annoying the crap out of yoru town council about the behavior of the people doing this job. Depends if your town is structured in a manner where you can actually annoy them properly.

Nope, it went down in one for me. It still needed adjusting. For some reason, everyone chose to not **** about bad steel, which is usually not the case.

People sell their custom 10/22s all the time. There are only so many parts in a 10/22, it's not tough to diagnose the thing if it doesn't work. About the only warning you give that I agree with 100% is that you don't start modding most anything expecting to get your money back out of it. As for why someone would sell their tricked out 10/22? Probably the two biggest reasons I have seen is that 1)They don't use it as much as they thought it would, but DO do something else, and would like to recover some capital to start a project more in line with their current interests, or 2) They build them like it is an addiction, and are liquidating a past project to fund a new one that differs only slightly (at least form the perspective of a shooter without that same particular affliction). Unlike a car, the "go fast" parts for most guns don't inherently diminish it's ability to function reliably. The real question you should ask yourself when buying a customized 10/22 is why owuld you buy one that has had all the fun tinkering done if you actually want a custom 10/22? If you want to tinker, get the cheapest stock 10/22 you can. All you will really keep is the receiver and bolt. If you are going to throw away parts, they might as well be cheap ones.

One of them is mine. Personally I would like more choices as well. The only other thing suggested was the GSP like logo, which isn't a bad idea, and if I had a bit more free time could work up a sample.

If someone had gotten us sooner, the poppers on Maks' stage would have gotten fixed sooner. They were all heavier than I would have liked, but probably the only one that would have failed calibration was the activator popper. I took the dare on double dog dare you, and lost big. Nik's standards stage, I would have just had it been six weak, six strong, and six reload six freestyle with the par at 3.5 seconds.

People still have their argument like they are talking about their mom's virtue or something. Will the ak barely shoot COM at 100 yards? No, but there have been so many made with so little care that I suspect they are out there. Get one made with some care, and feed it mil-spec ammo, and you are talking about an approximate 4moa-6moa platform. Get one that has been made to be better than mil-spec, and feed it better than mil-spec ammo, and I suspect you will do better than that. From what I have seen 2moa out to 150 or so and about 4moa out to 300+ are reasonable expectations there. I suspect the projectile deisgn is what lets you down there. Is the M-16 a super accurate weapon? Not really. It CAN be, but as a weapons platform you are looking at something slightly under 4moa with a mil-spec rifle and mil-spec ammo. You might get better, but odds are not much worse. Is the AR sensitive to dirt? Overall, more than the AK, but not that much really. Google for filthy 14. mid 30k rounds without being cleaned. I'd argue that is exceptional to a degree, but I've known several frankengun ars that have shot multiple cases of wolf without being cleaned. Hell, I had one upper I built go through 2500 rounds of wolf, 500 rounds of xm193, and about 500 orunds of random other cheap ammo without being cleaned, put away wet, dragged out, and the only time it failed to function was in weather with windchill around -15F. It failed to function because some of my ammo had powder temp senesitive enough to slow down and not be able to operate the gas system. It was nice russian ammo. Xm193 still worked it. Is the AK impervious to dirt? More than the AR, but not nearly as much as you would think. Notice that even with this forums small, mostly AR-centric population, you cna find examples of failure. Basically, you have three kinds of foreign object to fould a gun 1) fine grained particle. This is probably the AR's biggest problem because it can build up in the lubricant and bind the carrier. Your options for dealing with it are to dump a bunch of lube on your BCG through the ejection port and see if it works, or to disassemble and clean. At the end of this, you have a working gun. For the AK, the issues with this is op-rod binding. It takes some really fine particles, and some bad luck, but when it happens, you basically need a new gun. this issue applies to pretty much all op rod guns (some of the open ot the air piston systems might not have the issue looking at the design, but I couldn't say for sure). This killed garands in WWI too. 2) big chunky particles. Like rocks. For the AR, pretty much you only have to worry about the bad luck incident of loose debris flying into the ejection port during normal operation, or somehow getting in the magwell during remedial measures for a malfunction. The AK has the same risks, PLUS the damn safety lever that leaves a giant hole in the gun. If you are going to bury your AK alive, make sure the safety lever is covering the receiver gap. 3) mud or other wet slurries of fine particles. Both platforms are at risk, and both have better than even odds of shrugging mud off from what I have seen.

I'll chime in with my usual statement about eotech. If you have an astigmatism, you MUST try one before you lay out any money. You may find it horrifically unusable. I have a mild astigmatism, and all dots can be a bit extra blurry, but eotech hologram thing can get REALLY bad depending on eye relief.

Reconsider what's going on on the server side for spam? If using a free web based mail as the server side, stop deleting them form your phone. Maybe file them in a folder, and then make an effort to use the web UI to tag as spam.

Yeah we did one in september, and shongum just did one, and OB will be doing one in december at the indoor. So... not gonna happen. What MIGHT happen is if I can get the classifier stages from the OB guys, I might put them in the december match for practice, but not for submission to USPSA. I might also see if we can not tell you guys which one is getting submitted to mess with the sandbaggers.

At this point, I dunno if I'd call it a castle doctrine in the same sense that the rest of the country treats that phrase. I'd say NJ has an obligation to retreat that ends at the home while having an affirmative defense required in all self defense.

That is not all of the story. You'll note that the guy who got nailed for it was not the guy who held the FFL for the store. From what I was told, the son was just a pink card for the business. The business had a number of other book keeping problems in addition to that, and had issues in the past with their book keeping. From what I heard, I would be shocked if this business is run by the same people. It wouldn't shock me in the least to find out it was run by former customers of his though.

Removing the gunbelt with the gun still in the holster is a DQ. I had this debate a while ago, and the superior rules lawyers pointed out chapter and verse, but I have since forgotten. I'll see if I can get a refresher o it this weekend. As for shooting two guns, neither OB or CJ permit it at a match other than for the classifier stages. We also make an exception for special classifier matches. But in general it makes squadding even harder than it already is.

I only wear one when strong hand reloading shotgun as it prevents burns. As for the lead thing, these are supposed to be the be-all, end-all of lead cleaning products. http://www.policestore.com/.aspx/pid=42542/sku=100-006-928/Product/FIELDWIPES Supposedly works better than the d-lead stuff.

My question is how close to the polling places are the signs? Cuase there are rules about that.

I'll counter your theory with the following. Given two closely rated politicians on RKBA issues, unless they have some other solidly held stance I give a crap about that they can influence, I vote against the incumbent. AT least as long as I'm still generally displeased with the state of affairs.

Well, first things first. AS with any gun that you cna get to shoot the way you want, have someone you know is a decent shot shoot it. No matter how long you have been shooting, sometimes it's just you. Once you get through that, you can wrassle with the sights. However, a lot of guns are not set up for "what works best for the shooter". Most are set up for either a subtended sight picture (i.e. put the dot on the front sight over the POI you want) or a 6 o' clock hold. Some are set up so that you use a subtended picture up close and fast, and a 6 0'clock at longer ranges. To make it more fun, ammo choice affects how that all works.

Jumping right into USPSA is definitely not for everyone. This match, and December's, should be easier than most because pit maintenance is limiting us to using the back berm only. IF you don't know what to do if your gun jams, then you probably want to start slower. If you can recognize and clear a jam, and keep the muzzle in a safe direction, then you might be up to it. If you aren't, it's not like we'll tell you to never come back. We'll just DQ you, explain what you did wrong, and point you at something easier to get your feet wet. If you don't make it through safety check you even get your money back. Theoretically, yes. Practically, the weather usually cancels some matches (although with the reworked pits, drainage should be less of an issue this year), and getting through the year without the board's planning causing a problem is a realistic threat until they are done with all the construction.

I know someone who has had their gp100 done up for USPSA. He had a heck of a time finding someone who was willing to accommodate him. There aren't that many decent revolver smiths around these days, and almost all of them are S&W guys. IIRC it wasn't local, and it wasn't fast, but it was a nice improvement over stock. If I see him at this weekend's match, I'll try to remember to ask.

I'll be there Anywa, due to pit maintenance, it's going to be an odd match, probably on the quick side.
