Melgamatic

I work in Manhattan, 50 yds from the World Trade Center. People, including rabid anti-gun people, know I own and enjoy guns. They still like me, though. I respond to all anti-gun discussions by inviting the people to come to the range with me to see how much fun it is. They don't usually come, but it is a disarming response that makes the the discussion change directions. I would have shouted "come to the range with me this weekend and see what kind you like!"

I hear Mexican prisons are nice this time of year...

If these things happened to me, I'd feel that way too. However, I've been a member for maybe 5 years, shot there dozens of times, and never actually had any kind of a conversation with a RO, or even seen a RO look at me or my stuff. Maybe I just look safe, but they've completely left me alone. Actually, I take it back. Several weeks ago at 2pm I asked a RO if the guys shooting at the 200yd range shouldn't have moved back to the 300yd range. He said "Yes, I'll go remind them" and he did that, and they moved up. So, I've had no negative interactions with RO's, and the only time I needed help he just nicely did it. I have no explanation. Maybe if you go on the warmest days when it's most crowded things are different. I generally avoid the most crowded ranges on the most crowded days. The RO's don't bother you at the 200yd range when there's snow on the ground...

Yes, a stick with a brass magnet is another good alternative.

go to midwayusa.com and buy one? They make them for almost any kind of semi-auto rifle.

This is your problem. The modus operandi of MPW is to advertise specials they can't back up, take all the orders they can, and then cancel most of the orders a few days later. This has happened on this forum several times, and twice to me. MPW is not a good place, and any specials are only available to a small percent of the people who respond. Just don't buy from them.

Free shipping is all the time if you have a Cabela's Visa. You probably don't but just to remind those who do. I bought another 1200 rounds (in 4 300-round units, for the lower price and the boxes). I like to keep all my spare bulk in those boxes. I don't think they are particularly waterproof or secure, but they are nice organizers. I will probably never shoot all the ammo I have now...

You know we can shoot 338 Lapua and 50 BMG (on some allowed days) on those ranges, right?

According to the Tylenol website, they are having supply chain issues but most products are available.

That article was from June, 6 months ago. I actually bought Tylenol today!

Your ignorance is entertaining. H&K is definitely more expensive, just like a Porsche or Ferrari is more expensive. If you can only afford a Honda, and are happy, just be happy. But don't think that your car drives like a Porsche. Enjoy your less expensive guns and be happy, but don't think that the H&K's aren't superior in every way.

So what this tells us all is that Dave is nowhere near a "legal gun expert type guy" and should just shut up. Because of how the stock adjusts? Yikes.

1) I don't care if they are fat as long as their fat stays out of the seat I paid for. 2) As long as they don't take up my room, I don't care anything else about them. The difference is that the fat guy is taking something I bought from me, aka, my seat room. He is stealing from me with his fat.

People should pay for the seat that fits them. If you gush 4" into my seat, I am comfortable with your right to fly, but you certainly didn't buy 10% of my ticket. You don' fit in coach, upgrade to business or first or get the F out of my seat.

I have been stocking up a little, but the stores seem to have a larger inventory of components than any time I've seen in the past 4 years. I was at Cabelas a week ago, and they had more primers, powder and brass than I've ever seen them have. (On the other hand, their bullet inventory is reduced, but that seemed to be a shelf-usage decision. They shrank the bullet shelves into a smaller space, I think to make more room for loaded ammo).

As much as it shocks me, this is a good price! Hurray for Effingers!

And so does the internal revenue service laws, and the child support laws. Have they seized your accounts yet?

That's silly, and you're getting frothy based on random website crap. They can take your IRA no more than they can take your checking or brokerage account. Please.

With Stack-On, you are looking for a "gun organizer" not really a gun safe. I guess it probably meets the legal requirements of having guns not available to children, but there is no security at all. Think of it as one of those $1 suitcase locks. It might discourage someone from opening your suitcase, but it's not going to deter anyone who actually wants to take something.

I had an SL8-6 purchased from Bullet Hole (for too much $$) and then sold to another forum member. It was a nice rifle, but I think it had about the same accuracy as a good AR. So, a good rifle if you love the way it looks and aren't unhappy with the availability and pricing of magazines.

I want one, and might even pay 125% of MSRP for one. I think they're still around 200% of MSRP most places, and I haven't been patient enough to put my name on a list...

What's the best vendor for complete uppers? Some place that has either assembled uppers in stock or can put together a custom upper in a short period of time? So many vendors either are out of stock or have long lead times... TIA.

I don't get it at all. Maybe these people are already out of gas and can't move anywhere? I can get to the PA border on 78 in around 40 minutes. The first few exits have some lines (NJ people), but after that (and a few miles from 78) there is a land of gas stations with no customers at all. Or you can drive to South Jersey and back from Northern NJ and get all the gas you want with no line. I guess it's people who don't have enough gas left in the tank to drive 30-45 minutes for no line?

Well, you want to be there *before* 6am. A 30 minute backup at the Lincoln Tunnel isn't that much worse than normal, and it can be like that even at 6am. I've done that drive for almost 20 years... Yesterday was just pretty easy for me.

Or just get there before 6am, and then drive right through like any normal commuting day. Once you get past the local problems with trees blocking streets, it's a dream commute.
