My response to an internship request.
You did the guy a favor. Too many kids graduate from college expecting to have their pick of jobs...it's a disgusting extension of our ever-expanding entitlement culture.

Oooh...
Did a run of 100 w/ Signtech in Modesto, CA. Stitching was done in the US while the hat itself was made in Cambodia. Would have done 100% US but the style of hat I wanted was out of stock in the color/style combination and I need these for next week

Anyone into solar power?
Power consistency isn't a huge issue here however, I like to be prepared for short term disturbances/outages. The principal reason why I don't want a generator as a first line of back-up power is due to its dependence on gas/diesel. I keep about 20 gallons on hand which would likely be consumed by my wife having to commute to work 50 miles round trip each day. As a physician, she can't skip work due to "little" things like power outages. I've been trading PMs with someone on another board and he's been using multiple HF solar panel kits in different locations with good results. The reviews of the kit have also been pretty good. Eventually, my wife and I will be building an extremely energy efficient home in a more rural area and then we'll likely have an off-grid solar system installed. Until then, anything I do with solar power would be dabbling. Maybe I can swing both a small solar setup and a small genny... Great input though!

My thought was to have a bank of 2-3 batteries charged at any given time and draw on them during emergencies and then, only when absolutely necessary. I can't splurge for a system to continuously run a full size fridge just yet

Anyone into solar power?
I have and while they're small and relatively quiet, I want the first line to be solar since it's renewable. Yep, the deep cycle batteries I was looking at were warrantied for 5-7 years (Deka and Concorde). At that point, we'd likely be building a house with a hardwired solar setup anyhow.

Anyone into solar power?
I'm kicking around the idea of starting a small, emergency back-up solar power system in the home. Harbor Freight has a pretty decent 45w kit for $165 ($150 after coupon, free shipping but due to being big/heavy, $15 surcharge for freight). Seems folks are plugging them into 2-3 deep cycle batteries and getting good results. The panels themselves seem to hold up for 2-3 years too which is nice considering most of what HF sells is on the, ahem, less-than-durable side. At any rate, it looks like the most expensive part of this would be the inverters followed by the batteries. Anyone have any experience playing with solar power setups?

Advise on handguard replacement with continuous rail
Drilling holes in your free float wouldn't violate any laws however could compromise strength.

Memo regarding standard capacity mags made into 15rd mags
Ah yes, that's the one! Thanks PK90!

Gen 2 MBUS
I think it would be great if the feet were polymer over aluminum. I think that would solve alot of problems like the feet breaking when overtorquing the mounting screw.
-
Gen 2 MBUS
The mounting feet are still polymer and as such, I still will not recommend these for duty use. In my opinion (take it with a grain of salt), they're great sights for a range toy as they're cheap and hold zero however I've seen these sights break where Troys and other metal sights would not. I am nowhere near gentle on my rifles and I've personally broken a rear MBUS while my Troys have picked up scuffs and "character".

Nope, no capacity ban in place in CT.

Memo regarding standard capacity mags made into 15rd mags
I thought there was a memo that expanded/further defined that?
-
Memo regarding standard capacity mags made into 15rd mags
No, nothing to worry about. More of I want the documentation for future dealers who sign up so they can read it for themselves.

Memo regarding standard capacity mags made into 15rd mags
Does anyone have a copy of a memo from the NJSP or other legal body regarding limited capacity mags being made from standard capacity ones?
