High Exposure

Neither is the G36. The rental ranges have them because everyone wants to shoot their favorite gun from their favorite favorite video game - Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Battlefield, etc.... Most of the agencies that had them state side, dumped them when accuracy and reliability issues cropped up whenever the gun got hot. Germany recently sued HK for selling them crappy guns. The court said yes, they guns are crappy, but they meet and or exceed what you specced for the rifle you solicited and chose. Bottom line - Germany dropped the G36 but HK won the lawsuit.

I would argue it's more reliable than a carbine length. All my personal guns are 14.5" middy setups. It's the bees knees.

Here's a pic of the stripped slide prior to the installation of sights and optics that he had: Here is the original pic that I cropped for the pistolas:

Seriously? Yes, it's the crappy cell phone pic that has been cropped to show the blasters. That is the best photo I have of them. I am possibly the worlds worst photographer. I figured that the "Crappy cell phone pic doesn't do them justice" and "Clean work. Professionally done all around." Were enough of a disclaimer? The cuts were clean, straight, and all of uniform depth. No sharp edges, but still something to grab. Very nicely done. Like I said, my Glock is going there very soon.

I carry a Glock all day every day for close to 14 years now. At work in a level III Safariland duty holster. Off duty I CCW in some flavor of IWB. I won't AIWB one. Other than that, no issues or concerns. Sidenote - I don't like grip safeties. You can find yourself unable to properly manipulate it in a fight for your life.

The G26/G27 has a two piece RSA. Part metal and part plastic. They work fine. No need for aftermarket parts there. I am in the same boat as Griz with my G27. Thousands of rounds, no issues. As I reach 5000 rounds I'll replace it under the heading of preventative maintenance. I would replace it regardless of an OEM or metal aftermarket RSA.

If you have time to calculate over-penetration of your chosen defense round into your threat, you probably have time to do something other than shoot. I occasionally carry two calibers, but that is a function of what the chosen guns are chambered in and not a calculated decision on situationally dependent terminal effects. If I spent a lot of time in the woods and was worried about bears, or other predators of both the four and two legged variety, I would probably just carry stuff in 10mm.

I am curious about this - What makes you prefer 2 different calibers?

90% of the time I carry a G35 or G23 off duty and a G22 mag as a spare. Occasionally, I'll carry a Kahr PM9 if what I am wearing just won't work with the bigger guns. My personal feeling is this - after making reasonable and educated concessions carry the gun you shoot the best, in a caliber you trust, that you can conceal in the clothes you are going to wear. I think of it this way. On the worst day of my life, do I want to be wishing that I brought a different gun?

Another large shipping company will come in, assume the fees, payroll, and outstanding fuel bills, make nicey-nicey with customs and port authorities, and it will be business as usual in short order.

Wow! Can I have it?

Very generous. Thank You DT! - this place is filled with awesome people! I''ll grab a short one of I go that route. It's going on a 20" upper so I don't need the extra length.

I saw those but all the 5.56/.223 with 1/2x28 are out of stock. I reeeeeaaaaalllly want an A1 type - holes all around (vs A2 with a solid bottom). I will settle for an A2 if I absolutely can't get an A1.

Yeah. Both an NS upper and Lower. The upper I oroginally has is an old school Colt upper with a big pivot pin so I replaced it with a NS to match the lower.

Thanks DT. I'll settle for an A2, but would prefer an A1 to keep the rifle as "authentic" as I can and stay NJ legal.

I'm building an M16A1 clone and I am looking for an A1 birdcage type muzzle device with the what looks like a "washer" that has been "welded" to the front. I know I have seen these around here, but now I can't find them. Who makes a good one? Anyone here have one they don't want/need that I can buy or trade for?

Next time I am down that way picking up ammo for work, I'll have to stop in.

The one in Alliance, Ohio catered for 200 shooters at the Alloance PD range for the Celebration Of Pat Rogers a couple weeks ago. It was awesome!

Nope - their mountable brakes: http://www.surefire.com/mb556k.html are perfectly legal. They don't use threads to attach suppressors or the Warden. They use a cam with a friction lock on a rotating ring.

Looks awesome! Can I have it?

We did it in Monmouth county on a new construction house. We contacted our lawyer, who basically said "you don't need me, this is what you do" - which I thought was pretty classy. My wife handled it, so if you have specific questions I can ask her. Basically you need to file notice to appeal by a certain deadline - check with your local tax office for details in your municipality. She then conducted a bunch of comp searches for houses that recently sold in our neighborhood with similar square feet and similar lot sizes. She then came up with an "offer" of what we would like to be assessed at based on similar homes and their tax assemsents/appraisals and submitted her results to the tax office. We got a letter in the mail a few weeks later stating that our offer was accepted.

Understood. You would probably be better off with a MRDS on a 45* offset rail. Those high red dots are horrendous for estimating mechanical offset and you need to use this uncomfortable chin weld. Fixing your eyes is the A answer for the red dot, but the Steiner is an answer for a whole different set of TTPs.
