KoQ, ask and we'll do our best to answer. I don't consider myself an AR expert, but I started from knowing zilch about them to doing lots of reading online and then assembling my own. Plenty of people here, including me, will be happy to answer any questions you may have (and also launch into tangent arguments....)

Dr. Acula, I presume?

Just did a Verizon rep chat session, they would not give me a complimentary upgrade from 6GB to 10GB. I'm not on a family plan, and I get an employer discount on the access portion of my plan so maybe those are factors.

My phone is essentially my internet connection while I'm at work. I work at an institution with a very restrictive Internet policy and the bandwidth is unbearably slow as well. My phone is in wireless hotspot mode all day while I do my internet stuff on my laptop. Watch a few YouTube videos each day and you can be easily hitting several gigs a month. I routinely go through 5 gigs a month and sometimes am sweating it close to 6 gigs near the end of the billing cycle. Bumping up to 10 gigs is a big deal for me, thanks for sharing Tom!

Sweet, good luck with it. If I may ask, what was the cost shipped to your FFL?

Never forget:

Sights - take a look at the TruGlo TFO sights: fiber optic rods with tritium sources at the end. Bright in the daylight, bright in the darkness:

Interested, but I'll be waiting until someone else is carrying them:

Wait - did you order anything else in the order? -

I'm guessing you lucked out, unless someone is particularly vigilant in their warehouse - they should have halted the sale from continuing once you put in a shipping zip code in NJ, or just NJ as the state. Watch the tracking info. If it moves at all beyond "electronic notification" then chances are good you're going to get it.

And there goes gold under $1,200...

I concur. I can only hope that ammo is a loss leader for CTD.

Silver $16.50/16.60 ish. How long ago was it in the $40's? 3 years ago?

Search ebay for panasonic + the model number of the display. You may find replacement power supplies, screens and/or repair services available. If you have lots of time to blow, it may be worth it to you. The cost of replacement for something like that is so low that most people would just get a replacement.

Hammertime again, courtesy of the Fed announcing the end of QE. Gold slumping towards $1,200, silver about to break $17.00

Friggin' Cryan couldn't resist the urge to get his mug in the "junk on the bunk" shot..

Xboner owner here. It's a great system, I love how it can signal both my HDMI receiver and TV to turn on and off along with it, but Jesus H. Christ am I ever sick of the effin' updates. I'm a busy guy, so I only turn it on 2-3 times a week. It seems like every time I sit down to do something with it, something is updating, either the system, an app (netflix/skype) or a game. So I give myself an hour to watch something on Netflix and by the time I'm done watching update screens I have half an hour left... I do like the Kinect camera for Skype sessions. You can walk around the room and it zooms/pans to follow you.

Press checking or using chamber indicators is a way to solve that "never sure" problem, but I get the idea: In the heat of a battle, you don't have time to dink around with press checks, or like you said, maybe it's a firearm you're not familiar with.

I'm wondering this as well - why waste a round each time? Is the theory that it's worth wasting a round to be 100% certain the weapon is charged rather than taking the time to think/examine it?

NRA ILA guide to the interstate transportation of firearms: http://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/articles/2010/guide-to-the-interstate-transportation.aspx Prudent to avoid traveling through Washington D.C. altogether.

Cut out majority of metal on current shelf, leave 1/2" border or so on left, right and rear sides. Line edge of cut metal with rubber/plastic or similar to protect firearm barrels. Drill holes for risers (use threaded rod?) in remaining border, mount new shelf on top of risers.

I like the idea, and may even join you on the 25th, but consider my earlier comment if you're requested to leave the property of the buyback location: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/72216-lol-nj-gun-buybacks/#entry911612

Oh, I'm with you Alpo - his prosecution highlights the ridiculous NJ gun laws and I don't agree with the severity of his sentencing at all. However Mr. Aitken's campaign was less than truthful in its message when he was soliciting a pardon. "He broke no laws" - wrong. "He was just moving between residences" - he had kept the firearms in his vehicle for over a week while driving to various destinations.
