  1. Why cheap out on something that you're buying for use maybe once or twice in a lifetime and then, when your life is likely in jeopardy already? I don't know about you guys but my life is worth a lot more than saving $200-400 on armor. And I'm the guy that usually tries to talk "regular" people out of buying armor because I think it'll get more of them killed than it will save due to conditioning and training issues.
  2. LAV has jumped off the ATS wagon too.
  3. Mk18 upgraded. I pulled the RIS II off and replaced it with a CMR. The weight difference was quite noticeable but the biggest difference was how much more comfortable the tubular design was relative to the quad rail. The rifle without optic, can, and light came in at 6lbs. Loaded and with accessories, it comes in at just over 8lbs.
  4. Nope. Now, excuse me while I take this muzzle brake off and put another one on since this well-used rifle has eaten the last four now.
  5. Why? You can't select a specific load from the magazine when cycling the action. You're better off just sticking to one load. Kind of like not mixing FMJs in with JHPs in handgun magazines.
  6. You should be okay with factory loaded 7.62x51.
  7. I have a NM M1A that I inherited but it doesn't get shot much because I have other semi-auto .308s that do the job better while being lighter. Additionally, they can be a little picky with ammo. They certainly do not like hot ammo which tends to break or bend the op rod. This leads me to labeling my some of my reloads "M1A safe"
  8. Don't open a webstore Oh the stories I could tell...
  9. This is why patterning is so important. Federal Flight control out of my 590A1 is a 4" pattern at 7 yards and doesn't change significantly from 5 to 12 yards.
  10. It depends. Buy a few boxes of buckshot and pattern them to see what the gun prefers. My 590A1 prefers Federal LE13200 while my inheirited 590 prefers Hornady TAP based on patterns.
  11. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-essential-politics-updates-gov-brown-signs-six-gun-control-bills-1467394282-htmlstory.html For those who are unaware, California has a similar ban on semi auto guns like New Jersey except for the last decade or so, people have been able to legally build ARs using bullet buttons and other such magazine locking devices that require a tool to activate, allowing the magazine to be removed/replaced. This is no longer legal. Additionally, Californians could legally possess magazines that held more than 10 rounds if they were in possession of them prior to the ban enacted in 2000. This is no longer the case. Perhaps most disturbing of all, though I can't tell any more since these are all pretty messed up, is the creation of an ammunition purchaser/owner database. I'm not sure how this affects mail order but either myself or counsel will be looking into it. Finally, similar to OR and WA, it looks like BGCs will have to be performed to loan guns.
  12. Or you can try an adjustable gas key.
  13. Rifle length gas system = fixed/A1/A2 receiver extension. It makes sense that it worked with your 9mm buffer as that should be 5oz or heavier while rifle buffers are 5.4-5.5oz.
  14. Both failed to perform reliably in this test though with different conditions.
  15. It failed to perform. Generally, I really like Hornady products so this was a let down.
  16. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/30/299961/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss I'm a little surprised by the results as they run contrary to what I expect out of Hornady. I use a lot of their bullets for reloading but have stuck to Speer Gold Dots exclusively in pistol calibers when reloading. My carry ammo is factory loaded HST though.
  17. If anyone needs protecting, those morons do. Common Core is one of those things that almost every parent I know despises.
  18. It depends. Anything I would grab in a defensive situation gets cleaned, inspected, and lubricated after each range session though I don't do much to barrels beyond running a boresnake followed by wet and dry patches. Rental and demo guns are treated the same since they're generating revenue and I don't want them choking due to neglect. Anything built for precision is also cleaned after every outing though not inspected like the defensive guns beyond a cursory glance as I'm cleaning. Anything that doesn't fit into those categories gets cleaned whenever I feel like it.
  19. 1. That was me 2. That wasn't my finger. 3. That wasn't an AR15, it was a .308 AR 4. HUGE hit with the ladies.
  20. You might want to email Freedom Munitions about the mix up. If they're smart, they'll sic their lawyers on the other company (if they haven't already). Such similar trademarks are obviously causing confusion in the market place at Freedom Munitions' expense. If Daniel Defense can send their lawyers after V7 and force them to change to V Seven and LMT can sue AR MR2 for being too similar to their trademarked MRP, this should be a slam dunk for FM's counsel.
  21. If I had to guess, I think they realized they were paying CC fees on the refunds and decided to save a few points by issuing store credit instead.
  22. It's useful for barrier blind heavy-for-caliber 147s.
  23. Because of recoil. G26s are the most difficult 9mm Glock to control so running the hottest ammo through it will result in an even more difficult pistol. That being said, my G26 has 124gr +p HST running through it.
  24. I "panicked" a little. We're holding 5x the normal number of PMAGs right now and that's after shipping a record month of mags to dealers.
