Why do AR lowers not need an OAL of 26"?
what about the light magnesium lowers? (5.8oz for the magnesium, somewhere around 5oz and change for the plastic) we live in the golden age of black rifle legos for adults.

Why do AR lowers not need an OAL of 26"?
By default, it is "other" these days. At least on the federal forms. Also, I would argue that possessing a short barreled upper unless you have either no lower receiver or a complete pistol receiver would put you in some peril with regards to constructive intent. But that's my perspective from the position of an abundance of caution.

Reloading room lighting
They are lots of people. But it's electric scales that plug in from all the instances I have heard about. My battery operated one is always pretty close to my balance scale. They have decent t-8 led tubes out there I was thinking of replacing my fluorescent tubes with. I can't see any reason not to if you get the lumens you want out of all your fixtures.

How do you figure out a True monthly car payment?
Negotiating on the fly is beyond the average dude, but you can go with a target that let's you compare vs. a loan. Figure out invoice, the markup you'll tolerate, and hit up a decent loan calculator. You now have total payments. You can compare vs. payments and residual. It isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing.

A funny gun safety ad
hmm interesting. If I try to click through to youtube it breaks. Doesn't play here either, probably beause I have all my FU don't track me software turned on. If I rip the Url out of the page source it works. It's funny. Better than their first attempt at a PSA. That one was too absurd about the behaviors in question, and by association tyring to paint the RKBA opposition as fools supporting the absurd behavior. This one is much more realistic. "Well hidden" around curious, ignorant children is not sufficient.

Unrealistic WTS ads
Just as a PSA.. it's gone. It's never coming back.

How do you figure out a True monthly car payment?
Not relaly. For lease you need to know the residual. Payments plus residual value is in effect the purchase price of the car. It may change. With a good turn in and a less than popular car, the dealer may turn aorund and offer you a sale at less than residual at the end. However, when buying or leasing a car, you need to figure out what it costs to own and if youc an afford that.... not what the monthly payment is.

40 S&W Caliber Guy
Why I like .40: 1) I can reload the suckers from 135gr mouse fart steel loads to 1100 fps 180gr loads. 2) better extractor groove than a 9mm. 3) really straight walled, so I can push through size them if needed. 4) much more likely to find 15 round capacity full sized guns for .40 than 9 or 45. 6) SD ammo is just as effective for .45 , 9mm and .40 so it's not like it is disadvantaged. It isn't perfect, but there's a reason it has been successful.

How do you figure out a True monthly car payment?
True cost. Figure out the configuration you are interested. GEt a vin of a car configured like that and call your insurnace people and ask them how much your insurnace will change. Figure out your current miles driven and MPG. Take a reasonable guess at MPG of future car. If you are a spirited driver and it is a turbo, it will be WAY less than advertised. that gets you gallons. Convert gallons to dollars for the appropriate octane. Look at the scheduled maintenance for the new car. Most of it will be flat fee. Call the dealer's service department and ask the fees. Add 10% to account for the fact they won't all be right now. Look at cost of tires. for Z rated or higher, don't assuem more than 2 years of service life out of them. It gets complicated, but two things to watch out for with the mustang are tires and insurance. They are expensive to insure.

I guess Bloomberg's $50 million wasn't enough
You know what happens when you sell a product in a big box store and you start making demands? Your competitor takes your shelf space. You are the supply chain. The supply chain does not dictate terms to mega retailers.

No. The official anti line that must be towed is that your gun will be taken from you and used against you.

Best place/price for CR123s?
I used to love the sf batts. They revised them at some point and lifespan was much less. Absolute longest lasting I have used is foursevens flashlight food. The titaniums work great.

Pope excommunicates the Sicilian Mafia
That'd be some stupid for the ages. I have no use for the church, but there are lots of true believers out there. Killing him got getting the church out of bed with them would not have the effect of getting them back in. Might even make them the targets of some whackadoos.

Call Gov. Christie to VETO A2006/S993 @ 609-292-6000
It's budget time. Sitting on it keeps it from becoming a negotiating point with budget issues? Then you get to bury any feigned outrage from the Ds in the holiday weekend. That's the theory anyway.

.750 OD compensators/muzzle brakes
Use the Nordic tactical brake on my Nordic 22 upper. Works fine. It's mostly there to cover up the threads as I didn't want the bull barrel.
