I have a Sway as my primary, and an iPhone as my bat phone. I've always preferred Samsung, and if you ever go to Korea you'll understand why (it still baffles me how far behind the US is compared to the Orient countries in terms of tech). Only a handful of people know the iPhone number... for my getaways, and proves as a valid excuse as I'm not lying when I say that I do have a phone with me

1. flip food is awesome. My brother-in-law is Filipino, and always enjoying the cookouts we have 2. I don't care what people say about the 5.56 round not being a show-stopper. One hit at center mass and its over. Guy behind a car or non-reinforced wall? Don't need a M107, the over penetration is just fine

yea, I need another mag myself, but I'll also be car shopping in the AM anywho.

I'm assuming that it'll be a TV series because the writers are still adding to The Walking Dead! So, imagine that, an actual zombie TV show on a legitimate channel, possibly during the prime time? The horror genre will finally get its bite back since the vampires sold out.

The forum had a conversation about zombies a few weeks ago (months?). I was browsing my usual sites, and tripped upon some interesting news. Turns out that AMC (the station that has brought us Mad Men and Breaking Bad) got the rights to the comic book "The Walking Dead," which is easily my favorite zombie story. Should be good because AMC has been spot on as of late with their projects, and this story is more then just another Romero. With this being made, and finally Brooks' World War Z, the near future should provide some worthwhile zombie flicks/shows.

Truth is relative, and compartmentalized-- hence, useless... so, a weapon to some, a joke to others. Absolute truth is absolute BS, whether its believed to be concrete or intrinsic because perspective supersedes everything.

My reasoning is that Xbox360/PS3 games are already overpriced at $60. Now you're going to spend the money for something that is the equivalent to http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3073332. The NVGs are definitely cool looking, but I'd never wear those things in fear of what a light flare would do to my eyes. But hey man, the Prestige edition is just that...

Ha, yea... I heard about the NVG MW2 is offering. Honestly, I wouldn't even waste my money on mil-spec NVGs, suckers are going to cost you an arm and a leg-- and cost you just as much to keep them maintained. But hey, the game is going to be awesome!

Good to hear you're free of anything truly regrettable. Off days are off days, it speaks volume that you continued to drive through it. As for mental lapses. My unit was doing MILES training (lasers attached to rifles, blanks used to simulate trigger time), and a Private who was loading mags for us accidentally managed to mix in live rounds with dummies! Can't blame him as the S4 Sergeant left the ammo cans literally next to each other. Either way, after the kid was reamed for an hour or so, and then smoked for another hour, he never forgot the difference between the green tips and dummy tips...

I have one myself, and its a great rifle for the money. I'll expand a bit, as that's what you probably want. Cons: - No sights! If you already have optics or backup sights, then this is a moot point. Otherwise, you'll be staring at a naked rifle until you can get something on it. - Top rails are a bit short. This is not just an MP15ORC issue, but any flat top carbine. If you're planning on adding backup rear sights and optics (like an Aimpoint, EOTech), you'll feel a bit cluttered. This is preference though, I personally don't like clutter. This is a non-issue though if you get something like the Daniel Defense FF Omega rails because it seamlessly adds to the upper's rail. To add: If you're adding a front sight, make sure you read reviews or details. Because the gas block is railed, some products will not work. I wanted to get the Magpul front/rear sights, but turns out that Magpul does not recommend their system for railed gas blocks - Factory magazine. I'm sure it works fine, but compared to the PMags (from Paul @ AnA) its not up to snuff. I just feel that it'll cause a misfeed. Pros: - Weight. Personally, I like light rifles. Given, I'm not going to go hump 20K, but it does allow for easier transportation. This might be a negative though because I know some people prefer a heavier rifle/stock for numerous reasons. - Not so picky. I haven't had any issues with different ammo yet. I've cycled Remington UMC, PMC, Wolf, and Black Hills with no failures of any kind. I'm sure there will be a put-put, but with proper maintenance it'll most likely be the fault of the mag. - Like any other AR, once you break one down, you've broken them all down. No surprises when you open it up, though I recommend getting the handguard removal tool if you don't want to possibly spear your rifle across the room from the frustration. First time cleaning/oiling it was a pain to get the takedown pins open... but with some lube, it was fine. - Price. CHEAP. I know the prices for ARs are going down (right?), but it is still a very high quality, cheap alternative. I bought mine for $900, and I know you could get it for much cheaper. With that said, I'm going to replace my handguards, bolt/bolt carrier, charging handle, and possibly the stock (I prefer a more solid feeling stock). All the noted items are fine-- there are just really good aftermarket items out there. Now, if you're looking for a Colt, get a Colt. All black rifles, IMO, will function as needed as long as they are maintained. However, that doesn't mean all black rifles are equals. If you're looking for high quality stuff, get a Colt or Noveske. There are plenty of black rifles on the market. Personally, I'm going to always hold on to my MP15, but will eventually get a Colt and/or Noveske because the quality will eventually meet the proper application (IE. If I opt to go to a multiple day, intensive carbine course). Best of luck, hope I helped, and I'm sure others will have more to add. Its all preference, and if you know what you want to use it for, then I say the MP15ORC is an easy choice in the black rifle market. Overall, it gives the shooter, you, a blank canvas of sorts to modify it as you wish.

I too frequent the shop, nice to see a voice from the establishment here on the forums.

Thanks for the thanks. I was a part of the 0.3% that joins the military out of the high school I go to on average. I definitely feel like I lagged behind some after separating socially, until I realized that things just changed-- as had I. Must admit I'm glad my contract is up (no IRs for me, was fortunate to get a full separation-- so, I'm a civie now), but I definitely miss it at times. Life was much simpler, albeit more fast-paced. I apply the basic ideals in my life, and how I treat others-- and will definitely apply technical and intrinsic skills to my eventual career. As for the topic, this guide is interesting. Though I had to carry an M9 at times, the most train up I got was range-time and cleaning time... never had to sit through classroom instruction.

Nice, this gun is easily in my top 3 as well. Have fun finding the 9MM for it though

Same here...I'm much more into rifles than pistols. I get bored from pistols in about 10 mins....rifles I can shoot all day, even if its just plinking with a .22 at cans / fruit / etc. I never get tired of that. Agreed, I'll take a rifle over a pistol any day, for most any situation. As for Mosins, the more pictures/info I see, the more I consider adding one...

That's good to know about ADCOs policy on Noveskes, thanks for that Caine.

So, if NJ legislation did something like this, could I just turn in/sell the lower (stripped), and hold on to everything else?

Hello and welcome!

Yea, I heard about the switch from being a story of the iconic American action figures to some world-wide charlie foxtrot. While it annoys me that they're destroying an American icon, I'll be interested to watch it to try and get the sour taste of the latest Transformers movie out of my mouth.

AR's have a light recoil because of the streamlining of the design, as well as the emphasis put on the buffer tube/spring (IMO). If you get the chance to shoot a carbine stock vs A2 stock, you'll notice a significant difference (you could fire an A2 stock rifle from the bridge of your nose, not that I'd recommend it). As for 308s, definitely a bit more of a kick-- but I like it.

If I'm just shooting, I prefer to do it alone, which is usually the case. Otherwise, I don't mind striking a convo up with anybody

Biggest pain for disassembling an AR is the handguards-- though that's a moot point if you have the handguard removal tool. Everything else is pretty straight forward-- just make sure to do a proper functions test after.

I've read Jan 2010 in a couple different reports.

Nice, though I've always noticed that the people with smaller hands have an easier time breaking down/reassembling rifles-- but that's not to take away from what she can do And is it just me, or was that not a complete functions test! 8-)

Nice, wsl, I'll have to check that out sometime in the future. Thanks for info,
