NAGR is a P.O.S. poser. They just post a lot of old news on Facebook, get you to join in on something, and then pepper you with emails asking for money for the rest of your life. I signed on one thing ONCE with them, and now I get regular emails from 4 differently named entities (including Dudley Brown) who just keep emailing me. I have tried to unsubscribe but nothing works. The last time I tried there was a "comments" section for why I wanted out and I filled it with my best unprintable description. Didn't phase them at all. I don't think they actually DO anything except make money.

I HAVE fondled them...it's really worth traveling to do it.

Me too on this item! These work really well but like Bob says, get the 31 db models. I bought 5 sets and put one each with our "house armaments" so if you have a situation and have some time you can protect your hearing. AND there are no batteries to worry about. The only time I don't use these now is with my AR or sometimes if I'm working at open pistol night (indoors) at our range...sometimes the magnums and 50 cals get a bit loud, so I still double up with plugs and muffs.

So does that mean if you rob a 7-11 with a rusty gun you get a stiffer sentence? HAHAHA! These guys are CRIMEFIGHTERS, baby!

Did one right before Christmas it was under ten minutes.

OK...how about a SA XDS? I've got one and it's different...also a LOT of fun to shoot, and a good carry piece as well.

Canik Shark gets me all giggly. CZ 97 What's wrong with a 1911? RIA are very reasonable and a good gun. Or Springfield EMP in 9mm. Tiny 1911?

Yep...stovepiping, but only with that ammo so it's a bit on the obvious side. Also, by sloppy juicy to me means you can see lube...it's not an invisible coating. Smokeater...compared to shooting all those rounds one-at-a-time maybe that's not such a crazy idea. A lot of work, though.

My AR is 5.56 and it is sloppy juicy. What I end up with is the spent casing stuck between the bolt and chamberl with a new round off the mag and partially brought up to chamber. Looks to me like there's not enough blow back to cycle properly. But if I throw some other brand through it it runs like a champ.

Yes I fired it through my own gun and then YES I read reviews that stated a mixed bag of reports ranging from "No problem at all" to "Can't get two rounds in a row to fire".....which is my problem. The consensus was that some batches seem to come out under powered. Don't know if that's really the case or not, but I know I can shoot Remington and even Wolf steel crap with no problems, until I try to use the Independence. I'm fishing around for ideas on how to use it up without driving myself nuts.

Awhile back I found this Independence 5.56 for a decent price and bought 1K rounds. I had bought some of their 45 acp at a gun show and it was ok for practice. I ended up with a jamb that I couldn't even get my AR apart so I took it to my smith. He straightened everything out and when I took it to the range next i sighted it in with some Remington rounds and all was fine. Then I tried the Independence in two different types of mags and it wouldn't feed after the first shot. I went online and saw some complaints, and it looks like it's underloaded- doesn't have enough balls to cycle the gun properly. So... I guess I could use it 1 round at a time just for target shooting...I'd like to get the brass because I have about 600 casings now and I plan to start reloading 223, and you can never have enough brass.. One idea I had was to pick up some kind of cheaper bolt action .223 but the wife gave me "the look" so that's out. I guess I could sell the stuff but I would never try to sell it without telling people what I think about it. It came in 2 boxes of 500 and it's possible the second box is from a different run , but highly unlikely. Anybody have any other ideas? Get a lighter recoil spring?

Nice group of pigs...all very similar. There's just way too many of those things running around. Someone has to do it.Someone who likes bacon.

By not selling in CA the law is having it's intended effect even though it is unenforceable. Less handguns in state = the anti's goal. Hopefully any companies that refuse to market in Ca will include Law Enforcement or it will mean nothing.

As of last time I shipped a handgun you CANNOT ship them at just any old UPS store. It has to be a UPS hub. Same with Fedex.

Siracha is #1. Look for Siracha with garlic...that's a nice sauce, and it's a little thicker- you have to spoon it out.. Badia is siracha with something sweet in it...it's good if you like the taste. Ass On Fire from Louisiana area is good and pretty hot. If you're into the "light and medium" heat sauces a couple of the Tabasco varieties are quite good. Try the Tabasco green sauce. It's pretty mild on the heat but tasty. Their smoked Chipotle is quite good and their roasted garlic is good and has medium but respectable heat, I like Frank's if I have nothing fancy around. The other thing you should try is several brands of buffalo wing sauce. If you find one you really like you'll be putting it on everything.

I have a Sig Revolution. It's a little sharp around the edges but it's a great shooter with a nice crisp trigger and I've never had any trouble with it.

I'm planning to build an AR for my wife, who is quite a lightweight. She would use the AR for target and plinking, and while reliability is always important, I don't think durable is as high on the list as LIGHT. One person suggested I use a "pencil" barrel, which I'm not familiar with but assume that it's a very lightweight, thin-walled barrel. As the barrel is a lot of the weight it makes sense, as long as it doesn't twist up like a pretzel after firing 20 rounds.. Do any of you AR builder types know of lowers, uppers, or parts that may be more lightweight that others? I'm really looking to make it superlight.

I knew it! I couldn't find any posting. If you ask my wife I can't find shit.

The Second Amendment Foundation announced on 1/9 they have filed to appear before the Supreme Court (US) on a NJ concealed carry case The case is Drake v. Jerejian with SAF and the ANJRPC filing the case. Here is a link to the story: http://saf.org/viewpr-new.asp?id=471

Before AND after the recall...I love that gun. It's a little tiny fist full of fury, but it's fun to shoot and easily hides. Great gun.

If you go in as if you were going to register for the recall, after you put in your S/N it tells you the status of your gun.

DUH!

Sorry, I have a really good mechanic who used to work for Hyundai in Canada and he told me never to buy a Korean car...they are just not "there" yet. Dodge....Meh, although I do know a guy who owns a Journey and he seems happy enough with it. I had a Santa Fe as a rental for three weeks once and hated it. Had some little one once as a rental and traded it within 2 days...terrible little car. Uncomfortable, noisy, etc. I can't tell you WHAT to buy, but I wouldn't buy those. If you are going up to 35K you have choices. We've always had good luck with Yotas and Hondas. My wife just got a 2 year old loaded Nissan Frontier with 18K miles for about 24K. Civic is too small... hell, two years ago I bought a 2008 Silverado with 22K miles for 16.2K. If you're looking for SUV/Crossover type there's a lot out there but your two choices would be low on my list.

Get yourself a tackle box and start collecting cleaning supplies. As your gun collection grows, so will your stock of stuff. You really don't need all that much stuff. Here are the basics (I'm sure I'll forget half of them, but it's not that big of a deal. Qtips Cleaning rod with handle (short for pistols and a long one for rifles- solid brass or fiberglass are better than screw together type) Cloth swatches (I like cut up cotton t-shirts and clothes) Cleaning mat Hoppe's #9 Gun oil Bore brush for each caliber A dental tool or similar for nooks and crannies That will do most jobs. You can expand with lead removal rags, silicone rags, boresnakes, whatever.
