A-Tech

When I say a while, I consider a couple months a while for ammo to sit. My ammo doesn't last long lol. He kept it with the rest of his ammo in a locker. He got rid of his .45 Glock about 3-4 months ago, so I would put the ammo at a short time before that.

Not what I'm seeing out there. I'm seeing $1.20+/rd.

You don't even know how much I have lol

A friend of mine gave me a few hundred rounds of .45 HP to help him get rid of. It's been sitting in his garage for a while and he hasn't had a .45 gun in some time. He has no idea what it's worth and neither do I since I don't shoot the stuff either. All HP, mixed between Remington, Winchester, Cor-Bon, MagTech and a random box of Pow'R Ball. What do you think it's worth?

You mean I shouldn't wax and polish my Glock mags so they have a nice black sheen?

What I always find funny about South Jersey inhabitants, is they can never agree where they draw the line for "the south". If you're below the Driscoll, you're south. Period. Considering what, 60% of the Blue votes come from that point and lower. I would say you're right. You SHOULD split off. All the Blue votes that won NJ for Bama, came from down there. The birth has to deal with Union and Essex counties, but since I live in Union county, I'm confident that it can be fixed. Essex may have to go NY though.

I disagree with almost everything in this graph. It's very much slanted, and where it isn't, is just opposite of reality. I personally don't like consumer reports. I've found that a large majority of what they say in the automotive market is historically incorrect. They marked the Terrain as the best model, where to any tech that works on them would easily call them the worst. They will probably discontinue that model in the next couple years because of its failures. The leaf us a brand new model utilizing brand new technology. How can they mark it as the best when it's basically untested? The volt is the best and corvette is worst? Lots of problems there. The biggest problem with the graph is generalizing Ford being largely unreliable, when they have been ranked as one of the most reliable manufacturers out there. They were one of the only companies to NOT be part of the bailout, and also show a very good profit. These are just the things that I notice, and personally see being in the field every day. I understand what you're saying, but just expressing my side also because I get to see the reality of it all on a daily basis.

True, but... http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/12/buying-vs-leasing-basics/index.htm See the last CR section: "Does it make sense to lease?" I realize it's very popular. I also realize that leasing might make sense for someone who has a business (I do) and can deduct the lease cost (I can't). When I purchased my BMW, I was left with the feeling that the dealer was struggling with an unfamiliar procedure, and didn't do it too often. I've purchased several Honda products over the years, and the dealers had absolutely no problem with the paperwork for an actual sale. I've never heard the idea that a BMW dealer would be unfamiliar with leasing. 90% of the people I've met with BMW's lease them. As for the level of intelligence of someone that would willingly buy a BMW, well....I'll leave that one alone.

I'm talking about value and performance of the Kia Rio, particularly compared to the other 2. Other Kia models may be great. The Rio is not one of them. The Ford Focus and Mazda 3 platforms are light years ahead. Dumping millions upon millions into something does not indicate excellence. It does indicate commitment to improvements and excelling though. That was done almost 10yrs ago if I remember correctly. As a technician, that was when I saw the engineering differences and sharp decrease in repairs and saying "wtf were they thinking here!?" while working on them. So as a whole, it did make a large difference in their quality. Agreed the Rio is their economy model, but I don't think Kia gets enough credit for what they've become. Certainly not "shit"

Leasing is the new buying. Financially speaking, it's smarter to do it this way. I leased my Dart because the interest on that was 0%, and allows me to drive down the principle cost by the end of the lease, and then finance the residual value for what would have been the remaining term of the original loan. Save a lot of money there. Kia is far from shit. They are an excellent car now, as is Hyundai. They dumped millions upon millions into their R&D and assembly equipment.

Wombat, I love this. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to write this all up. I think the one and only question I have is: how do you score?

My wife was looking at the same cars s well as a fusion. All 2013. She ended up test driving a Dart 2 last, and we ended up leaving with it. It's a fun car and great on gas.

Love it

To create a schedule and to get everyone to bum rush so it actually has an effect.

Google also says that random threads describing prices without a link, suck.

Please provide a link when posting things like this.

Rather than buying it from the guild, just go to Tech Ops International. He's in Phillipsburg. Support the little guy that busts his ass on this stuff and is also a cop.

The Bomarc rail is very nice. It's made by Jerry Plum at Tech Ops International in Phillipsburg. You place the picatinny rails where you want them, like other popular rail systems do. The mounting system is very different though. Rather than trying to feed a screw from the inside out to secure the mounting sections, it is a T-bolt the you slip through the hole, twist, than secure with the nut. It makes moving and securing the mounting sections much easier. It also has ability to mount those sections at 45° instead of using offset mounts or sights. It's all about keeping down weight, and this thing is really light. It's worth every penny. Plus, the Tudor Rose is engraved in every one (Tech Ops' logo). Google it to understand the meaning of the rose.

Where are you acquiring these from? Does it look like this one on the bottom?

Why don't you just use the irons through the red dot? The idea is that if the dot fails, you can just flip the sights up and continue. Turn the dot off and practice like that.

Travis Haley did a video explaining and and demonstrating different zeros and how they group, actually shooting them at different distances. I believe the 100yd zero showed the tightest group throughout all ranges between 25-300yds. Grouped something like 3-4". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUwve2VMFBU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Idpa is cancelled this weekend from what I heard.

Why would you keep drilling holes in it every year? Even if you had to remove the pin, you can hammer another one in when necessary. I do it all the time when I'm able to actually use a normal stock. I would rather not neuter it by removing the lever. It would just look stupid

This is a Magpul, obviously there is nothing illegal about this. This is a Magpul Stock.

STILL pending approval lol
