what would you do?
In my case, it was about $10K lol

what would you do?
One time, a shipment of Daniel Defense BCGs showed up. I counted them out and couldn't figure out why there were here. Then I looked over open POs and saw one for DD receiver extensions in the same quantity. Turns out they were packaged identically and whoever picked the order picked the wrong cardboard tubes. I notified the distributor of their error and paid the difference. My integrity isn't for sale.

2A FRIENDLY PRINTERS FOR SHIRTS?
If you can't find anything local, the guy who owns Joe Bob Outfitters also owns a screenprinting business and he does shirts. Pretty sure he won't have an issue with gun stuff

Gun rooms
I recognize a few of those places. Battlefield Vegas, HK conference room, HK Red Room (dealer that is now out of business IIRC), Knight's collection/museum, and a few others.

New Mark 7 Autodrive on one of my 1050's
I've been looking at automation for 1050s. Forcht is about 90 minutes away from me and I was thinking about taking a 1050 to him. But the Ammobot has also caught my eye. That's an impressive setup you've got there though. I'm jealous!

Buy once, cry once?
I'm not dogging on you but when I see posts about Hi Points, I remember this post a cop-trainer friend of mine put up over a year ago: Sure, we advise people to spend wisely however sometimes, a Hi Point is all they can afford.

hardest factory 5.56 ammo primers?
I don't know for sure. Based on what I've read, some seem to think they aren't necessarily harder but less reliable, requiring a second hit to detonate and thus being interpreted as harder?

hardest factory 5.56 ammo primers?
You'd have to ask them.

hardest factory 5.56 ammo primers?
CCI #41 (small rifle) and #34 (large rifle) are the only DoD certified primers. They're the hardest primers to ignite. Federal M193 and M855 both use #41 primers.

Anyone knowledgeable about Playstations?
Well, that's both good and bad. The good news is I thought it was a PS4 exclusive but if it's ported to PC, she can play it on the machine I built for her. The bad news is, if it's ported to PC, it's going to absorb my life

Anyone knowledgeable about Playstations?
I think it's only coming for the PS4.

Anyone knowledgeable about Playstations?
She's my only sibling and she doesn't have it easy. I figure this gives her some leisure activity reliving childhood memories (I unabashedly love FF6 and FF7 too).
-
Anyone knowledgeable about Playstations?
She's not a console gamer really so there's no PS4 vs. Xbox debate. This is literally just so she can play this one game

Anyone knowledgeable about Playstations?
My sister is a Final Fantasy fanatic and with a remake of 7 coming out, I'd like to get her a Playstation 4 for her upcoming birthday. She had a PS4 at one point but sold it because her boyfriend (now ex) was a loser and she sold it to make ends meet one month (grad student on financial aid and has a full time job already that's six months behind in paying her). I haven't had a console in ages so I'm not sure if there's any difference between the models beyond onboard storage. Anyone care to chime in?

Show me your 10mm Cannons
I am seriously envious of your 1006. I tried like hell to find a decent on for a few months before my dad died. He had a 4506 and a 5906 but always wanted a 1006 in a Galco Miami Classic shoulder holster (Miami Vice, anyone?). You're right that these guns are built like tanks.

Show me your 10mm Cannons
I built the slide six years ago using a LWD slide and 6" Glock OEM Hunter barrel on a G21SF frame. I had the bead blasted stainless slide Duracoated (Cerakoting wasn't a thing back then) It's no safe queen as it's been carried and shot plenty. The funny thing about it is when shooting it, you'd never know you were shooting 10mm. With my full power handloads, it recoils like a soft 9mm. The extra mass of the slide and heavier spring really help control the round. At 100 yards, it drops about 1' and you can hear the bullet smacking the berm with authority. I love this handgun and it follows me on most of my outdoor adventures. The only thing I might do to it is send the slide out to be stripped and Cerakoted. But the marks and blemishes of years of use don't bother me. I like my guns picking up natural character marks.

Lightweight work boots
It does take a little time to lace up and down. I kneel to put them on or take them off. Good practice for when the robots take over and demand my subservience

Lightweight work boots
My every day work boot: http://www.amazon.com/Chippewa-20065-Handcrafted-Lace-Up-Chocolate/dp/B0036VN92G/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1457646034&sr=1-1&nodeID=679307011&keywords=chippewa+boots I wear them shooting/training, working, running errands, etc. Basically, it's my do-all. They're extremely well constructed and made in the US. They aren't cheap but they aren't super expensive either.

Brownells not shipping mags and grip extensions?
Honestly, I think Brownells is the last place you'll get attitude. Their new building is a mile down the road from my shop and I have yet to meet someone there who is less than pleasant. I've also called in to their CS lines before because I needed to clear some things up that didn't require an in-person visit and every single person I've talked to on the phone has been a delight.

i know some of you guys are still on farcebook
You don't have to upload an ID. You can upload a bill instead. It's just FB trying to weed out fake accounts. I had one that I used exclusively for gaming purposes (when I had time to game) and it eventually got locked up in one of their sweeps.

Rifle for HD? This guy thinks you're wrong.
I feel like I just walked out of church nodding my head repeatedly after reading HE's post.

Beowulf
I don't know but they didn't say anything when I told them it was going on a 10.5" .50 Beowulf developed by Alexander Arms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_Beowulf

Beowulf
If you decide to put a can on it, grab a Vers from Bowers. I'm using a Vers 50 with the stainless baffle stack as I have a .510 project I'm working on and wanted one can but they make a Vers 458 specifically for the .458S.

Do you test your rounds wet?
Because liquid doesn't compress, it's taking up chamber space and preventing the brass from expanding as much as it should.
