What do you consider a primary home defense firearm:

Update: My last name has been removed. Your take on this correspondence?

Folks, pet peeve of mine: Medal of Honor recipient, not winner.

I like it!

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. This hero should have a free pass to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. For him to be in his nineties and still have the dedication and loyalty to this country to raise and lower colors everyday, after he showed it in combat, is a teaching point to what's wrong in this country. NOT AN EYESORE.

All those items aren't bad, but they will add weight. If you have something that weighs as much as an M40A3 it will be hard maintaining that sight picture in the standing, especially being front heavy. That angled grip just might work out for you. I never felt comfortable with a vertical fore grip neither. I just used the magazine well/magazine. Felt more balanced that way.

Hehe. I knew I would end up offending some people. I just look more for functionality than how something looks. Of course, if your prerogative is to modify the heck out of your rifle, than let no one stop you. IMO though, it just seems a waste of money. But, I guess you can say that for any collector, hobbyist, or aficionado, which is absolutely not the case. I have inserted foot in mouth.

I really never understood why civilians, or former military, like to supe up their ARs. Unless your job unofficially requires you to have all the gizmos, why would you want all that added weight? I started out with an ACOG, PEQ-2, Surefire, grip-pod on an M4. By the end of one deployment, I stripped my rifle of everything and slapped the iron sights back on it. All that weight got annoying and unecessary. I'm actually more accurate with iron sights anyway. As a civilian, you, and I, will not be raiding urban areas or taking the beach. One thing you might want to look at is changing the furniture to something lighter and more comfortable. That is about as high-end as I would go. Buy yourself a nice Remington and a scope. There is much more utility in spending your hard earned money doing that, than buying fancy equipment that you will never need.

Nice. I was looking at getting a Magpul CTR like the rest of the sheep.

What are you thinking about changing it to?

If you don't have a laser, get good sight picture/alignment and dry fire. Your sights should not move after depressing trigger. If it does, keep dry firing until it becomes muscle memory. And yes, all the fundamentals need to be applied while practicing, especially a firm grip. With enough practice, you should stop anticipating and jerking.

Never used one, but a buddy of mine was using the carbine modstock in country. Seemed to get good cheek-weld with that. IMO, the a1 version does not look too aesthetically appealing.

All I need is an E-tool.

Why didn't he tell them on the phone that he was bringing a firearm in?

Chad, Great link.

The lady and I are going to NYC so I can stand in my 12"X12" box in Times Square with a diaper on.

Anyway, I did about the only thing I can do in this situation; I wrote a letter to my congressman.

It would be nice if everyone spoke English in an English speaking country.

Right, it says nothing about immigration status. I get it. That's the issue with me.

I realize that English is not the official language of the United States. I'm not necessarily suggesting that it should be either. I have heard in the past that NJ was issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. My assumption is that i saw it first hand today. I do not agree with giving any type of concessions to undocumented aliens. My car was burglarized a few months back. The LEO who took my report agreed with me on who the potential thieves were, one out of the hundred illegal immigrants who stand out on the block everyday. he told me the town could not even pass a "no loitering" ordinance because it would infringe upon the rights of illegal immigrants. I know we all can see the irony in that statement, but why does nothing ever happen about it?

I was at the DMV this morning and there was a gentleman who kept peeking over my shoulder. He didn't speak English and was obviously looking for some direction on how to fill out a form. I looked over at what he had in his hands and there was a NJ driver's license labeled, "Provisional License." WHAT THE F is up with that? This is taking one more step to legitimizing this BS (legalizing illegal immigrants), In my opinion. Other views?

Just checked out their site. A lot of items in stock, good prices, and even better for LE/Military. Thanks for bringing these guys to my attention.

Twist depends on load and caliber. Are you going with the 6.5? The longer the barrel, the better, i.e. for accuracy.

Oh BTW, You should not have any problems finding parts for something like the 6.5 Grendel, but remember, the 5.56 is the standard. A lot more options.

Hmm, if all you're looking for is accuracy, tbtrout's recommendation would be the better choice. I've never shot a sub-2 inch group at 660 yds! Holy cow, that is good. Don't know of any site that gives summarized performance analysis.
