They weren't really "tactical reloads," but he was leaving one in the tube so he wouldn't have to manipulate the slide on every magazine. I would've actually been interested to see that though since its another moving part that can break.

Why do you think we prepare for zombies? IMO, I'd be more concerned with a "dirty bomb." While not a nuclear weapon by any means, it seems like the most realistic, ultimate weapon for a terrorist (because I don't see a True Lies type situation really unfolding).

Welcome. I enjoy BA and Shore Shots both. Shore Shots has a really nice collection of pistols you can try out: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6881

Congratulations, Pete :clap:

Yea, not to mention the blow back the people around you get on top of the more pronounced sound. If you're shooting outdoors or in another situation where there is no divider, the people to the left and right will catch a face full of stuff. Along with the fact that brakes allow for easier follow up shots, it also helps protect the end of the barrel-- unlike crowned barrels (though a person should always still be careful). If I lived in a free state, I'd probably go with a three prong/Blackout from AAC.

6.9 just hit Tibet (South China): http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ ... 10vacp.php

When I got my three permits, the clerk included a short message on official letterhead: A misstatement as it should be 'handgun' and not 'firearm,' but I can't say they gave me a hard time or looked at me weird.

And if you bring along the bayonet, you might actually be able to put it to some use

Hello and welcome.

I'm still looking for a good degreaser. I've tried Hoppes', Tetra, and now trying Break Free [Powder Blast]. They all work, but nothing that has made me jaw really drop. I still need to get my hands on some Slip to try out. For hard to reach places and massive carbon build up, for tools I use a bore brush, as well as an ice pick.

If you want to get some hands-on time with AR's, I'm sure most every store has them in stock. But if you're thinking about purchasing, I would recommend to know exactly what you want before heading to any store. Plenty of gunsmiths, users of different tiers (hobby, competition, LEO/Mil), and industry contacts on the internet to answer any questions.

I've put my occupation down as "student" for all of the paperwork without ever running into any problems.

I guess I'm fortunate enough to have a competent animal control department. Bad part is that its like two people, and the department covers two townships-- so, they're always a bit hard to reach (though, by calling my local PD, they can contact them directly-- and have). While I haven't dealt with rabid animals, when the economy hit my area, a lot of pet owners let their cats and dogs go... had a good number of strays. I must have called animal control a handful of times within a two week stretch. They responded fairly quickly every time; I can't complain.

I was being facetious about the incident with the Newark cop in Mexico, as its pretty much a no-brainer As for the situation with PDs, it is a shame. I'm not for increasing the size of the police force exponentially, but I am for them keeping their jobs and maintaining enough numbers to provide/support/continue the mission for the communities.

LEOs can't forget that Mexico doesn't care! Insert story of the Newark cop from months back. As for getting a LEO job, good luck. Seems like the only Dept around this area that is actively hiring would be NYPD. The only other types of hires I've heard/seen/read about are for prior LEOs who were laid off due to the economy (like my township's PD). A buddy of mine said NJSP has put off hires and Academy indefinitely.

I didn't know Glocks had the hole drilled in the grip for lanyards. And nice comparison. I was half expecting to see what a real Glock 19 could do to an airsoft version

I'm not familiar with ACE stocks, so I can't really comment on that. However, I do have a Sully stock on my AR as well, and I would recommend one as well. Just checked the LOP, and it is indeed 8'' exact. The extender for another $5 adds one inch. Here's the link for Sully stocks and its [short] list of accessories: http://prostores2.carrierzone.com/servl ... Categories As for FF, getting something like the DD omega rails would be a cheaper (or at least more simple) alternative, as Proactive pointed out. It doesn't require any gunsmithing or special tools, just some money.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I took the precaution of canceling the card, but I doubt that I actually had to take that measure since there were no other charges aside from iTunes.

Yes, slap me upside the head for even trusting Apple with my personal info. I came home from the range, did some cleaning, ate dinner, and finally checked my email. I was surprised to see a few receipts from iTunes. I quickly checked my back account to see if it was just a phishing email or for real-- and unfortunately it was for real. I immediately took action with my iTunes account (changed passwords, took off my CC, and deauthorized [though I don't really know what good that would do]). Then I called my bank, reported the unauthorized transactions, canceled the card, etc. I then spent the next ten minutes on the Apple site looking for a means of contacting them... finally resorted to [being an a--] and did a "Reporting a Problem" with EVERY unauthorized transaction made with the same message in each. I then did a Google search, and found that, as I assumed, this is a wide spread problem. Some users who have been hacked had gift cards purchased, while others had apps and movies (such in my case). In every case, the user who had the issue reported that Apple basically told the customer to F themselves, and would only deal with police and the company/bank the card was with. I haven't careened into that sh-tstorm yet as Apple probably won't return my emails until tomorrow (and I can't contact them via phone until tomorrow's hours)... though I suppose it'll give me the time to put on my bib, loosen my belt, and bend over :shock: While the problem could have definitely been due to the user (me), there are reports of others who have had the same issue who only accessed their accounts through their iPhones... plus, I take my cyber security relatively seriously. I learned that I won't be using iTunes at all anymore... but it presents the problem because I have an iPhone... maybe I should cancel my plan with ATT, and move forward all together? Its just concerning because of the costs... though, I do feel quite jaded, and I'm sure it'll get worse as soon as Apple customer service has their way with demeaning me. Just a forewarning I guess for those who utilize iTunes. ETA: I forgot to mention that my CC company wiped the unauthorized transactions within minutes after getting off the phone, and restoring its balance. Also, I forgot to ask if this has happened to anybody else? And if so, could you share your experience? Whether you do it here, or PM me (so I can know what to expect).

Very nice day to be at the range. I got there pretty late, and stayed until closing. Ran Wolf through the upper for the first time, and, dang, I forgot how dirty it is . Took me awhile to clean up.

The initial link is a bit of satire, but it does hint at something that a lot of civilians just wouldn't understand in regards to the "warrior mindset." From the get-go, unlike even LEOs, military trains to "dehumanize" the opposition. That its just "targets," OPFOR, pop-ups, "tangos," hajjis, and a slew of other terms (some derogatory). The military does this on purpose as a means of allowing mostly decent people to do not really decent things... a battlefield psyche thing. With that said, everyone reacts differently... mostly because in real life they aren't pop-ups... seriously, its only human, and its the reason why PTSD doesn't become an issue until most are back on the home front-- or years down the road in their civilian lives.

Unexpectedly, I'll be going today with some friends. Not sure when I'll be there, but should be heading out soon.

Eh, I'm not lawyer, but I wouldn't want to be holding on to tracer ammunition:

Most gangs with Mexican mafia/drug cartel ties in the States already are primarily consisted of US citizens anyway. Look at how the underworld in our own area changed after the FBI and other elements went after Cosanostra and Bloods really hard in the past two decades. Those families have been replaced by organized crime/gang elements that are just as bad/ruthless... whether we're talking about the eastern Europeans, Asians, etc. The problems with organized crime really have nothing to do with border security... at least I don't see the correlation. The concern that does have to be addressed though in regards to border security and organized crime/gangs is the possibility for international syndicates, and its possible catastrophic damage to targets on US soil. The concern of "terrorists" jumping the border are warranted, but unlikely. However, materials or people being smuggled by organized crime/gang elements does present a hell of a problem considering how refined their processes are currently. Though, the question then is if an organized crime/gang element would benefit any from having its own backyard used as a target-- possibly hurting them or their business. It obviously gets more muddied and complicated as you delve further.

Very nice. I had to go back through the pictures and admire your beauty again. I'm about to jump on the mid-length train... though I'm digging the Daniel Defense pencil profile barrels. Again, beautiful Noveske. Makes my BCM feel second rate :cry:
