What's you favorite type of gun?
I've thought about this a couple of times in the last few months. I'll admit that I enjoy any trigger time, whatever the gun type. However, given the choice, I tend to prefer long guns, and of my long guns, most often prefer my scoped bolt action rifles. I've always had a thing for "long" range target shooting, so I have a lot of trigger time behind my bolt actions. That said, I only this year got my first (and second) semi auto "real" caliber rifles, and I've been enjoying the hell out of shooting them. In terms of preference of everything I've ever shot, I guess... Scoped Bolt Action Rifle > Bolt Action Rifle > Full Automatic Rifle > Semi-Auto Rifle > Lever Action Rifle > Over/Under Shotgun > Pump Shotgun > Semi-Auto Shotgun > Semi-Auto Pistol > Revolver

Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Upgrade
I actually gained a small bit of battery life after the update. So far, I have not found any major or minor issues. I do wish AT&T hadn't forced all the extra crap in the upgrade. I'm thinking I may root mine, now that I am out of warranty...

Recommend a cell phone
Then why not the S5? I've had mine since it was released, and I'm still happy with it. I haven't looked into the S6, and I doubt I'll feel the urge to upgrade for at least an additional generation or two.

New grips. Which gun do they look better on?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-Full-Size-G10-Grip-Grey-black-Colt-Kimber-Sig-AmbI-Safety-H1-J4-4-/301616870818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4639c435a2 "1911 G10 grips" Sure looks like em to me... Especially since I wouldn't be able to pick, either...like em on both.

Inexpensive 22 bolt
I own an XT-22 and own the big brother of the Mark II, a 93R17TR. XT22 probably has more rounds through it than any of my other guns, probably 8k+ at this point. It is still reasonably accurate using crappy bulk ammo. I haven't been able to get match ammo for it, so I can't comment what it's truly capable of, but I've done 2.5-3.5" groups at 100 yards using Golden Bullets. Trigger is nowhere near as nice as the 93R17 (which costs more than twice as much), but I'm happy with the XT22 for a sub-$200 gun. I've thrown an inexpensive bipod and a Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40 scope on there. I always enjoy shooting my XT22, and I have not had any issues with it. I'll put it this way - virtually every range session, my XT22 comes out to play. As for the 93R17 - trigger is great. If the Mark IIs are the same triggers, I'd be very pleased with them. Accuracy (from a .17HMR) is sub 1.5" at 100 yards from an average (at best) shooter. I have not had any major problems (one of the screws did get loose and had to be tightened). I plan to get another 93R and/or Mark II in the future. I'd think you couldn't go wrong with either option.

TIME FOR NEW CELL PHONE & GOOGLE PROJECT FI
If the old phone was an android, but if youve added your same gmail account to the new phone, go to the google play store, find the three bars (settings), go to "my apps" then hit "all" Anything you installed on an old android on that gmail account will show up there, and you can install it on the new one, assuming it works on the current version of android you are using.

+1 for Tom @ Oakridge
Just stopped by to pick up some 15/30 AK mags and ammo. Was a pleasant, quick transaction. Prices were good too. I had called earlier today to check if the mags were still in stock and left my info, and got a call back quickly. Only problem is my GPS took me a quarter mile up 23, so i wasnt even looking at the signs on the side of the road when i passed it the first time. Thanks again for everything!

Four rules of Bike Riding in NJ
I have an infestation of the entitled, spandex-wearing, color coordinated, wannabe "pro" riders in my area. Constantly see them 3 or 4 abreast on roads, acting like they own the road as they meander along at 20 in a 45. I've had a group going up the hill I live on, on the wrong side of the road, on a sharp curve while I was going down it. They had the gall to try to yell at me...yeah it's MY fault you're 5 abreast and in the oncoming lane on a blind curve. I really wish I could fit a train horn in my car. I'd love a 145dB horn for oblivious idiots of all varieties - bikers, idiots on their cell phones, idiots not on their cell phones, etc...

Recommendations for a new computer
I build all my own desktop PCs, and I almost always order my parts from newegg.com - I will never buy a pre-made desktop system. I can control exactly what components I put in, and the quality of those components. I don't know that I could build a system cheaper than what is out there off the shelf, but I know my systems are much more stable and reliable. I usually also just upgrade components as needed to keep it somewhat up to date...

Golden bullet new and improved?
Dirty as hell, but I gotta say, my guns love the stuff. I'll have to look for the new and improved variety. I think I'm down to only 2 or 3 bricks left of my stash of GBs...

What CCW Would You Choose?
Given the chance to carry in NJ (or elsewhere), I'd likely pick up a Sig P239 SAS II .40 or .357Sig, Sig P320, and/or Ruger LC9 for carry. If I had to pick from what I own now, I'd likely go Sig Pro 2022 9mm or Glock 23, since I don't have anything else compact.

2006 Grand Marquis GS remote keyless entry
I don't go there often, but I've seen on a Mercedes forum I belong to that some members who work at dealers can give you full specs on the car if you PM them with the VIN. Maybe you can look up if there are any Crown Vic/Grand Marquis forums where a member can tell you all the packages installed with your VIN...or see if anyone here works at a dealer and could look it up for you. Hopefully that can tell you if the car has the remote feature. I've also had a Mazda dealer reprogram remotes for me free when I brought the car in for a 30k service.

Ultimate Mall Ninja Zombie Destroyer AR15 Video
I can't help but think two things: 1 - That gun needs more attachments. There was clearly enough room for a few more lights, lasers, and I noticed that there was a clear lack of chainsaw mounted on the gun. Zombie killer indeed... 2 - That gun has wings....

Thinking About Getting a 17 HMR Rifle
Savage 93R17TR owner here. Threw a Nikon 4.5-14x40 scope and bipod on it, and it is a fun mini 'tactical' rifle. Have put probably 1000-1250 rounds through it. Rifle is extremely accurate with all factory ammo I have tried (though it seems to like cci/hornady best). I have managed sub-moa 5shot groups at 100 yards, and I am at best an average shooter. I love the rifle and the caliber, and it is my girlfriend's favorite rifle due to the caliber. I got it because at the time, a box of 50rds was only a couple dollars more than a 20rd box of cheap bulk .223, or a few bucks less than a 20rd box of match .223. Only major downside is cleaning, since you will very likely need a whole new cleaning kit just for that specific caliber. Also, if you are shooting paper at 100+ yards, probably going to need some seriously powerful scope/spotting scope to see those tiny holes... Availability of ammo might be a concern, I find it is hit or miss, though more available recently. I say go for it...its a lot of fun to shoot, and a good step-up caliber for new shooters.

Opinion wanted
I've only handled a few M&P 15-22s, maybe a couple rounds through someone's at a range, but no experience with them really. I love my GSG 522SD - when it works. The problem with the gun is that is hardly ever works - at least does not work reliably for long. It will fire fine for a couple of mags, but gets dirty fast, which seems to cause problems. It seems to always have light strikes, which then get worse as the gun becomes dirty, and then you get failure to fires, sometimes more than half the rounds of the magazine will fail to fire. The grin I get on my face from emptying a full mag in rapid fire is mostly from the shooting, but also from surprise/amazement that the gun cooperated for a whole magazine without a problem. Once you're done - more often as in "I'm so done with this f&*$ing gun" than a "I had a great time at the range, I guess I should go home now" - you then have to clean the damn thing. A stock gun requires you to remove the stock, meaning unscrew the pin holding that on. Then more pins get unscrewed, another big screw at the rear of the breach block, and then you can take the gun apart so you can take it apart more. The breach block realistically has to be taken apart every use, or at least every other use - something the manual claims you never have to take apart. You need at least 5 or 6 different tools to take the gun wholly apart. Even then, it still isn't really enough because you can't get into a bunch of areas in the clamshell/outer/upper, that should be cleaned, because of the design of the gun. I am debating just using an ultrasonic cleaner on the breach block every time and hoping that works better than disassembly every time. Mods I have done: Parts kit to turn it more into the older MP5 style instead of the abomination that currently ships after the HK lawsuit Replaced screw apart pins with HK type push pins ( brings me down to only 3 or 4 tools needed to disassemble the gun) Mousepad buffer at front of cocking tube (HK slap is fun!) Shortened firing pin return spring (apparently still not enough since I'm still getting light strikes, some people replace the spring with a much weaker one) "Sharpened" the firing pin for smaller contact area Lapped contact points on the firing pin (was pretty rough) I have a replacement firing pin and return spring I got free from ATI after emailing them about my problems, which I have yet to install, but I have little faith in those fixing my problems... I want to love this gun. I really do. When it works, it puts a grin on my face like nothing else. When it stops working properly, it is infuriating. Even IF I ever get it cycling reliably, cleaning it will ALWAYS be a pain. I don't think it will ever have a tenth of the available mods of say the 15-22 or 10/22. I am not sure if there are other MP5 clones out there [in .22], but it'd be difficult to recommend the GSGs over any of them. Or over none of them, for that matter. It really is a shame. Guess I need an MP5 in 9mm, but looks like I need a clone of THOSE, too...

- I got the clay bug...help me!
Griffin & Howe has some nice used ones for a measly $155,000. I like that they list shotguns from $275 through $275,000 in the used section on their website. http://www.griffinhowe.com/usedgun-sg.cfm- Other peoples guns at the range
My view has always been to offer a couple rounds if someone shows interest, because that: A.) is the right thing to do B.) has been what most others have offered me Even if they don't want to shoot it, people do like fondling guns, and I'm always ok with that, too. That said, I don't have anything that "expensive" to own or to shoot...- Here comes the next round
Well, he DID see a movie that had guns in it. The movie even said it was "based on a true story." Pretty sure that makes you an expert.- site slow?
They have 3.5" floppies? ...sure explains a lot...- He Didn't Tape This in NJ, That's for Sure
