  1. Well, how do you make a "top" list? Is it craftsmanship? Durability? historical significance? Influence of the design? Popularity? Performance? Is it a combination of all of them? Two I know make the list for most of them would be the 1911, and the glock 17. The 1911 just checks everything and did so for a long time. THe glock caused a huge paradigm shift in the industry and the market. One could also argue for a slot for a wonder nine, but which one? The S&W model 59 was older than the 92 and cz-75. Past those, I don't know what I'd pick. They fall off a lot in historical significance, influence, etc. pretty fast.
  2. That depends on the situation. I recall an old Cecil Adams column on it. Pretty much every generation plant type is set up to need human intervention on a daily basis. The generalized answer was that on average, once the minimal crew is a I show, about 12 hours. Iirc.
  3. Yeah, the characters are pretty meh, but it's only two episodes, and when I think about that, I remember where Carol started her story arc. It's way too early to call it, and there should be sufficient entertainment in watching the world burn.
  4. When the constitution was written, we DID have open borders. We weren't founded with ins in place.
  5. See this wasn't supposed to happen until after universal background checks. So they could escalate to that.
  6. Are there any rules against being an AG from prison? Just saying.
  7. His diatribe of a fax sid he had an axe to grind at being treated poorly as a black, gay man. Maybe he was genuinely, or maybe not. Multiple court cases so far say not. Right now, we are fostering a culture of divisiveness, and focusing on the notion that the person most offended is automatically the winner of any disagreement. That notion is poisonous, and this is an example of that.
  8. I have my suspicions that this is not supposed to be an open ended series that can go on forever. So maybe that will be companion show number 2.
  9. Lee has two generation of dies, less friendly and more friendly. I have used the less friendly dies on my LNL-AP. Getting them set up is a bit trickier, but .45, .40, and 9mm dies work. In theory newer ones should be a bit longer overall and make setup more normal. So try what you have and only replace if needed IMO.
  10. And on their own, that's fine. However, there's very little the law will do about mom and dad letting the kids have a glass of something with the family. If they do, they don't wind up as felons. Same with guns. Kids can't be using them without supervision until 18-21.
  11. Last one I picked up in NJ got marked "other".
  12. Firkin auto correct. Hex mag admits there were qc issues. Not he may.
  13. Look, children probably shouldn't be handed too much gun. It's variable what that means though. In this case the dead guy used some supremely bad judgement. Being the instructor it was his job to assess and say yes or no. He failed and paid the price. Making a law won't eliminate bad judgement. There are adults who can't deal with FA well and are to be handled with supreme caution too. The law fixes nothing.
  14. I have early mags, they work great. He may admits they had issues with a mold and have had problem ones get out. It's a qc problem, not an engineering one from what it looks like, so give them a call. Worst case is you wind up with bad mags like you already have, but make hexmag work for it.
  15. I wonder how they would work if they used powdered tungsten in the polymer. Looks a lot like what you'd get if you made a mim bullet, but didn't sinter it.
  16. Technically, no they don't. It is rare that they don't just process it like a new permit.
  17. Who's 855 are you shooting. Qc varies and it may just be a bit on the hot side. Check your primers. This thread is leaning a bit zebra rather than horse when everything can be explained by a cheap mag wearing out and slightly high pressure surplus/3rd world 855 like ammo.
  18. That's a far, far cry from not being able to be sharpened, which was a stupid statement and untrue. Choosing carbon steel because the choices are crap stainless or good stainless that takes a while to sharpen is semi rational and about a jillion miles from justifying the statement that stainless can't be sharpened.
  19. Then you spent a lot of time learning extremely incorrect things. Extremely. As in totally wrong. A good carbon steel is easier to sharpen than a good stainless steel, but do you think those machines that sharpen them do so with something other than an abrasive you could also use yourself? Are finely serrated knives not meant to be sharpened? Pretty much, but can't be sharpened because stainless? Just.. wow. Ceramic now, yeah that uses lasers usually to sharpen them. They are disposable more or less.
  20. Yeah and I picked up mine shortly after you got yours and have had the same experience.
  21. My 15-30 hexmags absolutely cannot hold 16 rounds. They fit 15 and will depress about 1/2-2/3 of a round, which makes them work like mags should in my AR rather than binding up a bit on a full mag insert like every other 15 rounder I have. If it is fitting a 16th, something might be up I'd check for splits in the plastic. For the record, my hexmags are pretty early purchases from the initial availability. If there is anything that concerns me about them, it is the thickness of the polymer and potential durability. Mine also work in all of my lowers. Noveske, spikes, stag, etc. The latest pmags do not play nicely with the noveske without modifying the mags.
  22. And it has started arriving places. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/404804/gerber-short-stack-ar-15-multi-tool-black?cm_mmc=pe_weekly-_-availablenow-_-availablenow_gerber_magpul_20150707_1-_-Main_Image For those who care. It'll have to be way lower than $50 to interest me, but I got the mail this morning and figured I'd pass it along.
  23. Ok, I'll chime in with a few things. 1) For making the drug choice, ask your doctor what the cessation process is if you want/need to stop taking it. Especially ask the risks of going cold turkey. For some people, they need the head meds to feel normal. If you don't, they tend to mess with your mind and physiological systems. Sometimes badly and irreversibly. Docs managing to the numbers don't necessarily see the forest for the trees on this one. But if you can't parse the drug info properly yourself, this is often a decent way to get some translation other than "it'll be fine" from your doctor. 2) Log your food. Seriously, do it. For hypertension, diabetes, and other fun stuff like that, you can go all atkins or paleo, but if your caloric intake is still high, there's very good odds you won't move your numbers much if at all. Your body is basically giving you the big FU for trying to process the diet you consume to support the weight you are at regardless of if it is "fat" or "muscle". Lots of people's numbers move not because atkins or paleo is magic for disease X, but because it is hard to stick to them AND consume mega doses of calories that your body tries to metabolize too rapidly. Beyond that, lots of people have cravings more wicked than they know. atkins and plaeo tend to have less craving inducing food, and a lot more people can beat the cravings while having something to actually eat. As opposed to something like wieght loss shakes which are the methadone of treating carb cravings. P.S. you may alo need to lose muscle mass. 3) You might want to get something like a fitbit or one of the other health tracker doohickies. I use a fitbit. I don't find it useful for meaningful weight loss, but it has proven to me that I am absolute shit at estimating my own activity levels. The back end software also does more complex and integrated calorie need/use/intake calculations than you can easily do for yourself. it's a bit easier than a written log and a web calculator, and a heck of a lot more accurate. For me, the big difference isn't that it moves me forward, but that it makes a HUGE difference in backsliding. That's me though. Another benefit is that the process of logging stuff has made me a whole lot better about estimating my intake correctly. 4) If you consume any sugared drinks, ditch them. They are the worst thing for you, and they contribute very little to feeling full or satisfying much in the way of cravings. IF you don't. Once again, back to that food log. Eliminate some of the worst offenders and replace them with something else you eat regularly that is better for you. 5) Exercise. If you lack time, I can suggest that sprint eight might be something you can do to help. Google it. DO NOT, DO NOT!!!, engage in it without checking with your doctor first due to your BP. Read up on it, you should be able to make your own judgment about it being a lifestyle fit. 6) If you do choose the meds, have a serious talk with your family and friends about paying attention to your behavior and letting you know if you are getting weird (for you). Decide before hand what you are willing to tolerate. 7) Stop bullshitting yourself. You need to want to lose it. Even if it's stomach stapling, if you aren't committed to the new plan, you can still wind up back where you started. 8) Exercising isn't a fix for your weight. It helps with your health, and it makes screw ups less bad, but realistically it doesn't take much time eating to undo an insane week of working out.
  24. Man that's a funny article. Nobody is shelling out $300+ million for colts assets.
