I think that I am responding to what you're asking. Why not create a higher intensity light capable of running 2-cr123's? The answer is: because it's unnecessary. I also think it's important to note that the WML lights are purpose built specifically to be on a rifle, while those other lights (except Surefire) are not. The difference in price between the Olight and Fenix are very similar to each other and slightly cheaper than the WML, while the difference in WML vs. Surefire is substantial. I personally use Fenix on a daily basis and have been for a huge fan since the the TK15. I currently use a TK21u for most applications. The TK21u was supposed to have a substantial difference in output, but when I used them side by side, I almost thought that the TK21u was LESS bright. A mixture of color temperature in the new batch of LED's, different lens and beam flood, and possibly just my love for the TK15 could have been the reason. Regardless, I saw no discernible difference between the 330 lumen(early model) module against the 468 lumen module.

It's been like this for quite a while now. Ammo is no problem shipping to NJ, but to avoid any kind of accidental backlash, they make the decision to exclude NJ from receiving explosives.

Lumens is still only part of the equation though. Is it actually necessary to have that kind of output? It comes at the cost less battery life and generally more heat. If you're able to put the proper spread on 500lumens, it could be more effective than a solid 900 lumen beam. I hear this all the time about lights. Lumens are only one side of the light's story, and seem to have been proven stronger for marketing purposes. Lumens are the measurement of intensity. As far as weapon/defense lights go, anything more than 200 lumens is blinding at -20ft. This includes bouncing off nearby walls, windows, pictures, and mirrors also blinding the person using the light. That's one of the reasons why MFT/Princeton Tech came out with their new 10/20 lumen lights.

Here's a wrench in the mix.... lumens =/= candela

Shhh, I can't hustle if my tactic is given away Bob, I've already joined IDPA online. I won't be able to make 6/1 but thank you for the kind offer.

Bob, I've seen you post many times answering questions about these sort of things, and I know that you know your stuff. I'll take your advice and hold off on classifying. As usual, great post and clarification. Thanks

Awesome, thank you

Yes I'm aware, but that does limit my number of matches I can compete in, hence why I would like to be classified. I'd like to spend as many weekends as I can, shooting in competition format.

I'm new to IDPA and I'm not sure how to go about finding a classifier. I've tried using the IDPA website but it sucks for finding anything specific. How can I go about this? I'd like to be classified ASAP so I can compete as much as possible this summer.

You were very Johnny on the spot. It's no big deal. I'll be sure to relay back to them that they are being sold on eBay.

Nice! Do you keep that bookmarked?

Something along the lines of "don't store in leather holster, blah blah blah" ... I don't think he said blah blah blah, but I wasn't listening. Lol. Again, I don't go easy on anything I own. If it survives ME, it's worthy.

What's funny about that, is me and buddy were debating seeing how well we could throw them. I didn't give birth to them, and I'm not particularly known for handling with care either. I was cutting up pig with one of them the same night that I got them.

I'm friends with the owner of Tech Ops and I didn't pay retail for them so I can't be too sure.

So I just got these 2 Demascus Cleavers from Tech Ops. These are really beautiful pieces of art from a Tennessee knife maker (didn't catch the name). They are by far the sharpest pieces of steel that I own. He still has a couple left for anyone that's interested.

Is this a question? If the stock doesn't get pinned, don't get caught in NJ using it or storing it. Your rifle will then be considered an "assault rifle" under NJ statute.

Will it be stored in NJ? Do you live in PA or NJ? The whole appeal of the UBR is how it adjusts, which you can't have on NJ. it would need to be permanently altered to prevent adjustment.

I wonder the same thing, especially after Gura said that comprise is alright.

Wait, how do you know about Fight Club?

I wouldn't be surprised if PSA started to ship "complete" uppers to customers in a box full of bagged parts. Good prices from them, but CQ and customer service isn't worth a damn

I'd also be interested in how much to do my whole AR.

Hey guys, remember when this thread was about Drake? Me either.

they responded to the first email saying they were delayed. Then they ignored the next two emails. So I called and was told "I overheard them talking about it this morning and saying they would try to get it out by on Monday" and then a week went by with no shipping. Then I couldn't get through by phone because it was perpetually busy as if they took the phones off the hook. This is the first and last time I buy from them.

I can't help but be bothered by the fact that I still don't have items I ordered over a month ago that were in-stock. That's 1980's mail order speed.

I honestly think it has to do with the way they are shipping. Once it leaves their door, it's out of their hands. It took several days of shipping before it got delayed.
