I just got this for my Colt. It really is flat black - not the ugly brown/green in the photo. Quality is very good. I wish it had wrench flats, but othe rthan that it's good to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230841557166

Hi Joe, Uncle Sam allowed me to play with a M1 from 1962 to 1965 and then with a very early 1966 AR. The early AR was a magnificent *POS* that jammed at the slightest opportunity (dust and sand were not its friends). was picky on the ammo it ate, was too short to be a 'real' gun, was being pushed by the corrupt idiots in the five-sided nuthouse on the Potomac. There was no way I, or any of my buds, would consider depending on it. Time passes and the breed gets better. Long story short: I now own three AR-15s as my go-to long guns, an Armalite HBAR 20", a Colt LE6920 and a Stag model 2. I have zero M1s in residence (although there may be a shotty or two about). I have no qualms whatsoever about putting it on the line behind any of them. Why three? Hmmm, why not? BTW - I'm also a 1911 guy, having somewhere around eight copies. No Kabar, but maybe soon! Jack

Anybody interested in meeting on Friday (Aug. 24)? Weather permitting i am thinking of finally getting to visit since I joined in January! Morning is best for me

They should be encouraged to have group bath salts parties in a secure environment. They could then cannibalize each other to their heart's content.

This is starting to sound a bit like the paranoid threads frequently posted on a gun forum in a neighboring state. The inspector called, made an appointment, had coffee with the licensee. What's the issue here?

It may be interesting to connect the type of crime with the involved weapon. I'm thinking the .22 rifles (for example) may have been seized not because they were involved in a criminal event but came into police possession due to a domestic incident or similar. Still an interesting article.

The RO is now NJ authorized Gestapo? Geez!

Dang! I joined in January and haven't made it there yet! Ridiculous when you consider how close I live. Broken leg - then work - then family. Yuch! Soon I hope.

The 3rd party stops paying PSE&G, JCP&L or whoever. Guess who gets cut off? The 3rd party can transfer your power to someone else. You get either a brown out or black out. You will no loger have a contract with the distribution company - they will

JFoster99 - are you in Union Twp., Union County by any chance?

Be very careful. There are a bunch of startups who claim to be working with the town, city, county, state and power company who want to sign you up for cheap power. In fact, they may send you a refund check every month. They have tried to get several of our branch offices to sign up for the best thing since sex - and they will pay you to do it! Check them out very carefully. The ones I investigated require that they control your usage, cut you off or brown you out to supply others and can take your generator power (if you have one) to supply others. Their financial sheet is typically a disaster. They have lost money every year, with increased losses annually. The top six or so execs are being paid over a half million a year. This may be the newest version of MLM, Ponzi scheme or selling you a bridge.\ My connection with them has always been on the business side - not private residences, but....................... caveat emptor!

Watched 10 minutes. Like the hotties, can't stand Clark. Premise is silly at best. Now watching reruns of Coast Guard Alaska. Real people, no 'celebs'

I have bought numerous guns online, both from dealers and from private sellers. I have my local FFL fax a copy of their license to the seller, I mail payment to the seller, the seller ships to the FFL. I then get to pay for NICS and the transfer charge at the local dealer. It sounds far more complicated than it really is!

Harris is the Gold Standard of bipods. Yoy can buy others for less, but eventually you will wish you bought Harris in the first place.

312. Don't believe me? Lautenberg will back me up, I'm sure.

The worst part of driving isn't the left side, or even the roads that are one car wide with cars parked on both sides. Nope, my downfall is navigation... even with the GPS up and nagging. At some point you will realize that in the UK and Ireland (don't start that discussion!) there is no such thing as compass points. Huh? As you drive about the rotary it quickly becomes obvious that you need to know which town, hamlet, village, etc is north and which is south. Oh, yes, the signs mention a population center of some sort but it may be 2 miles or 50 miles away. There is no logic as to which are listed. For example, the A320 goes south to High Wycombe and north to Oxford from where I am. I need to go to the south to the big guy motorway. Unless you know that High Wycombe should be in your travel plans you will have the opportunity to visit Oxford first. Yep, thats in England but the same rules apply in Ireland and Wales. Not that it matters a whole lot - the island is that big in the first place! Just go for it and have fun. You'll meet wonderful people, beautiful scenery, history we can only imagine and perhaps, a pint or two of the good stuff!

That sounds like what the cabby said!

UPDATE: Here you go -- Alexis Bar and Grill 17 / 18 Patrick Street Dun Loaghaire County Dublin Take time while there to wander down the street that runs along the coast, past the marina and into a small park. If you are younger than me (who isn't?), there is a bar on the upper level of a building overlooking the water. It's only two or three floors with all glass front as I recall. Several locals recommended it as a 'fun place', but I needed my sleep time! I don't remember the name of the place but the whole village isn't that big. Have a blast Jack

Mine is an older 183 series stainless. It is not quite what would be called a tack driver, but damn close to it. The stainless barrel may be a factor. Of course, mine has less tha 300 rounds down the tube!

I will send you the name of a fantastic restaurant near the water outside of Dublin. No way can I pronounce the village name, but I have their card in my office. For an unreal experience, make a stop at the 4 Seasons hotel in Dublin. You need not check in unless on an expense account (I was!) but have a pint or two in the lobby bar. It is like dying and going directly to heaven!

Your assumption. Not necessarily true

Man - do I feel old! WTF????

Most anyplace will work so long as your wife does not find out!

Bingo! I took it to mean 80% of the components were installed into a fully machined lower. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the clarification.

Now, that is interesting. I was under the impression that any lower, even stripped, required an FFL (if shipped from out of state). I just learned something else new!
