I'd rather have a trunk monkey

A little more fuel for the fire:

This one's already in NJ: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=220739059 ETA: and another: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=220987548

I will have to keep an eye on that thread to see how it does when he gets some steel cased rounds thru the gun.

What Ray said - it's one video. His "troubleshooting" in the video is a bit questionable, and for that alone, I wouldn't take this video as the be all end all review on a gun that's only been out a few weeks. I only posted it because it was the first video for the 556R that I've run across. Keep it in the back of your mind, but don't make it the only deciding factor in buying or not buying.

It looked like it was your typical polymer coated steel cased commercial ammo (wolf, tula, whatever). He took the rounds that didn't fire in the Sig and put them in a Poly AK and they fired... but I don't remember him saying is if he tried to fire them a second time in the Sig. If you believe this guy, it seems like there are some general QC issues with the Sig, aside from possibly not hitting primers hard enough. But it's only one "review". It'll be interesting to see what other people are experiencing.

Not really a Mauser or Nagant, but I'm quite fond of my Mossberg US 44 http://www.cobs.com/lprgc/m44faq.htm

This one is similar to Jermz' sling, but holds some shotshells. Probably too many... but no one says you have to fill them up. http://www.blackhawk.com/product/Shotgun-Shell-Sling-2-PT,341,1342.htm

Dam - I can't make the 17th. I expect lots of pictures so I can live vicariously thru others

Are we gonna see you on Shooting USA, Moose?

That sux. About a month ago.. maybe a bit more.. I noticed that the guy who trains a lot of the security guards at BH was at the Bayonne range. I was hoping it was a one time thing and that Bayonne wouldn't turn into BH with the over crowding, but looks like it may be heading that way. It's a 40-45 minute drive down there for me.. and the last thing I wanna do is wait 40 minutes to shoot!

If so many people didn't show up, why was there a waiting list?

Isn't the 24th Easter?

True. I guess mid April is kind of too general... I'll wait and see what date it ends up being and then tell you I can't make it

Doubt I'll be able to make it given the suggested time frame

Yeah, all my TLR-1 lights (I have 3 ) are the regular non-strobe version - which is probably why I'm explaining it so badly Go to 1:45 for a demo of how the strobe works. 135 vs 160 isn't enough of a difference for me to get the strobe version. I'm perfectly happy with 80-100 lumens inside the house.. anything more than that is just a bonus. The biggest problem I'm finding right now is that the strobe version is cheaper than the non-strobe version, so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with a TLR-1s eventually just to save a few bux on my next light. Either way, you don't have to use the strobe feature if you don't want it.

No hold on - let me find a video cuz I'm apparently doing a piss poor job of explaining

Push the rocker down twice (or up twice depending on what finger you use to active the light). Once it's in strobe mode it stays in strobe mode till you hit the rocker again.

You push the momentary switch twice quickly and it goes into strobe mode.

Nice build. I gotta say, I'm diggin that Spike's rail. I like that it has so many QD locations to choose from without having to move too much stuff around.

Thanks Gunnyr - I've updated the original post with new links. Echo - not sure what's going on with the site. I was able to add stuff to my cart and got to the first page of checkout, but didn't try going beyond that. Contact page spits out a 404 not found for me as well. Maybe give him a call? He has this number listed on Calguns: 406-880-6133
