Ha! i thought this was going to save me money! Priced everything out and it's going to be north of 2k if I buy it all at once. Then again, that's only 10 cases of 9mm or 5 cases of 45. I'm going to have to come up with a serious sales pitch for the boss lady.

That looks interesting. Seems better than watching the white ring of the powder cop, which you could easily miss by turning your head for a second.

Along with my 9mm AR build this Fall and Winter, I also plan to start reloading. I will be starting with 9mm and adding .45 and .40 eventually. Not too concerned with rifle at this point. I have been doing a little research and this is the list I have come up with. Any input on something I have missed or solid reasons to avoid something on my list is welcome. Anyone who has the Hornady LNL AP, What shell plate does it come with? Press: Hornady LNL AP Shell Plates: #8 (9mm), #10 (.40), #45 (.45) Die sets: 9mm, .40, .45 RCBS Lockout Die RCBS 1500 scale Thumlers Model B tumbler RCBS Digital Caliper Lyman inertia bullet puller Bullets, primers, powder, brass ABC's of Reloading Reloading manuals - Hornady, Lyman, Lee, etc.

$20

That's definitely new. You used to be able to zoom right in on Google Earth. It's not just Google, Bing is scrambled as well.

You can sell it or take it to the store to trade in. Either way, you will need another permit to purchase another handgun.

I was wondering what was going on there. I get search results than hit the shopping tab and, nothing. google toolbar is now uninstalled, bing is the default search engine and I will also be switching my email account. I may even ditch the droid phone once the contract is up but, I'm not sure what else is available. (NO IPHONE EITHER).

I agree, the description is accurate but, I still find it a little misleading. (both from psa and cmmg). I can live without the bolt hold open more than giving up 5 rounds. I spoke with cmmg and they don't offer or know of anyone who does offer the new mags in a 15 round capacity. They informed me that my best bet was to move to America and get away from "all that jersey nonsense". That was said jokingly of course...I thanked them for rubbing it in. I guess my biggest issue with psa was taking almost 2 weeks just to ship them. Anyway, the mags and upper function flawlessly and I am quite happy with it.

Should be. The World Class Steel page has it listed. I plan to be there with my .22 AR for a test run. http://www.worldclas...ls/Default.aspx

Mag Loader for M&P 22 Pistol http://brassstacker.com/SWMP22ML-Smith-and-Wesson-M-and-P-22-Magazine-Loader.html

Welcome!!!

I just picked this up for my .22 AR. I didn't even mount it. I just held it in place and it's not for me. I think I'll just leave this one alone with the MOE handguards. They actually feel very comfortable. So it's basically new in box. $15.

Mags came in Monday afternoon, took it to the range today. I put 150 rounds through it just to check function and get it sighted in. It runs really nice. I can also say, I don't think there will be any trouble getting it to register on the shot timer. We had some trouble with the M&P 15-22's at OBRAMS this month. The YHM Phantom brake definitely makes it a bit louder. I'm all set for the rifle only OBRAMS in July. When is static steel? The 1st or 8th?

Oh yeah, lesson learned. All in all not too bad I guess. It was the first time I have even seen a Texas Star in person and it was only my second actual USPSA match. I shot a few of the Friday night indoor action matches but, they are not quite the same. I'm taking this year as a learning experience. I hope to actually be competitive next year.

Yes you can legally sell it on GB. It would probably sell quicker here and like said above, you could avoid the shipping.

I'm thinking silver zebra and a purple jeweled slide cover plate. Thanks, not exactly what I was picturing.

Just sad. 9 shots to hit the first plate and then 12 more to finish it off. That's something I would really like to practice. Gonna have to build one of those.

Each member donates 12 hours per year to help run and maintain the club. What kind of stuff does this entail? These jobs vary from range clean up to light construction. They send out an email asking for people to work and describe the required work in the email. The new probationary member is required to observe at least five scheduled events in the next six months Ok this part I think I understand. and participate in two or more of those events. I am not a gun games kind of person, but would not mind helping out with scoring or stuff like that. Is that considered participation or do you actually have to be a contestant in an event? I believe you actually have to participate in the event as a shooter. It doesn't have to be run and gun like USPSA or IDPA. The static steel events are just like shooting at paper targets only the targets are steel There is no pressure to shoot quickly, just safely. But, I warn you. Once you try one of the events, you will be hooked. There are others also. Bullseye, shotgun, black powder, etc. This is mostly to introduce you to what is available at the club. It really is a nice club with something fun going on most of the time.

Where?

Not only are they having a little problem with shipping times, (it two weeks to ship my CMMG mags), they are also a little off with their descriptions it seems. I ordered 6 mags for my .22 AR build. I ordered from PSA because they had the 15 rounders in stock and claimed they worked with the bolt hold open. They don't. A quick call to CMMG confirmed that these mags DO NOT work with the bolt hold open feature of their uppers or conversion kits. Quoted from PSA' s description: "Fits all Ciener based AR .22 conversions and uppers. Polymer .22 LR magazine for CMMG .22 LR sub-caliber conversion kits. 15 round capacity with bolt catch follower. The full size design can utilize your existing magazine pouches and rifle case magazine carriers. Same size as 20 round G.I. magazines." http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/conversion-kits/cmmg-15rd-mag-for-22-long-rifle.html

I agree with your opinion on the M&P but, I believe the OP has the .40 Pro. (signature)

How about a 12ga AR? http://www.gunsameri...HOTGUN_AR15.htm

Usually 140 - 170. I bring 250, I miss alot.

Fun? Not my first choice of words. Maybe if I had another 2 or 3 mags.
