Thanks. Correct Mission First Tactical coupon is LODMFT. Resubmitted my order for the new minimalist stock for my 22lr lightweight build and saved 25%.

Clint, speak with Rick at OMG. I believe this will destroy the birdcage to get it off but he should be able to do this for you.

I went Saturday morning. NICS was down in the morning when the FFL called around 10am. I went to get some breakfast and came back at 11am. FFL was able to get them on the phone. Few minutes later, I was approved.

I like it. I noticed you changed the buffer tube to change the stock. Was the buffer tube not re-usable at all?

Interesting. This looks exactly like the BigHorn models they were shipping before that were 599 shipped. I guess you can save a few bucks if you pick it up yourself.

The S&W M&P15-22 give you some features over one with a conversion kit. Reliability is probably the main factor. The S&W M&P15-22 provides you with features that are similar to a standard AR. An important factor for me in getting a dedicated 22 lr upper is accuracy. My AR has a 1:7 twist barrel. It's great for sending heavy rounds accurately. It's not great with 22 lr. I was getting really poor groupings with .22lr rounds. I suppose I could hit a man size target at 25 yards but that was not what I was looking for. I've since built a Taccom .22lr upper which has a 1:16 twist that is more suited for .22lr. I can hit almost the same hole at 25 yards now and am very happy with the results. The only complaint is that the bolt hold does not work like a standard AR and the bolt holds open after the last round is fired only while the magazine is inserted. Once the magazine is removed, the bolt releases. I believe both work properly on the S&W M&P15-22.

I'm am heavily annoyed by these f*ckers. I bought my place a few years back when I moved out of the city. I proceeded to play catch with my son outside to celebrate buying our new home. Well, the ATM celebrated also. I thought I must have touched poison ivy or something.

Dave, right? I was sitting there waiting while you stopped by. I went to grab some breakfast and came back around 11am. Joe was on hold at the time. I got the NICS approval shortly after he reached them. It was pretty crappy as he got billed 4 times before he got thru.

Darn, I hate to miss this one but I'm going deep sea fishing instead. I've enjoyed the last 2 stages you put up especially the last one. There was definitely lots of surprises. We started on your stage last time and the first two shooters completely missed targets while running.

Besides guns: Motorcycle riding (although I got into an accident and have a difficult time getting back on. I think I need to find other people to ride with so I can improve my riding skills). Video games Fast cars Scuba diving Grilling Tinkering with stuff (the reason why most of my guns are not stock)

Agreed, season 1 and 2 were done better. I felt this season was rushed but they did do a good job on torturing Theon. I can't remember them going in that much detail on the torture. I always forget what happens when also. For Clint's sake, I'll try not to say who dies next.

Ohhh...massive cylinders. That would draw interest. I have put off using a permit for a revolver for competition twice already. I did burn it on a Colt Anaconda though but I doubt I would use that in a match. I was going to use that permit for a S&W 625. I think the manufacturers have to create sex appeal for revolvers to get people to buy them and then shoot them.

I think it would be interesting for 8 shot revolvers to be included. Many stages are setup for a string of 8-10 shots in a row and then reload. My guess is to allow easy reloading points for production and SS class. This is really unfair to 6 shot revolvers as you are reloading at every string of target and rarely get to take advantage of reloading on the move. I don't think minor or major would solve the problem as this may lead to the death of the 6 shot revolver in competition. I think there may need for a Revolver Limited 6 and Revolver Limited class. Part of the issue is also support from the firearm industry to create more competitive revolvers that people would desire. Right now, as you said, it is really just the S&W 625 that is used. It would be interesting to see some of the other manufacturers make a competitive gun against the 625. Opening the 8 shot would allow owners of the TRR8, R8 and 627 V-Comp to compete which are all pretty cool to own. Perhaps they can create a 8 shot .45 ACP if this is possible. Again, most of the ones named are all made by S&W. It would be good to see some competition revolvers come out from the other manufacturers (Do you hear that Ruger?).

RW was even better in the book. Completely unexpected what happened. There was so much more detail in the book. There was so much going on and you were thinking great. I was reading thinking "Why does George keep distracting me with all this other stuff" and then BAM! I dropped the book and was actually going to stop reading because of the whole RW. The whole Sansa plot was heavily downplayed and no where near as exciting. You feel sorry for her as her hope is constantly going up and down thru the whole book. I definitely did not sense any of that in the series.

^^^^^^ This. For real Chinese food, I'll trek to Chinatown or mom's.

I'm most disappointed in the deviation from the book and the lack of detail that went into this season. I had to explain a lot of things to my wife who did not read the book. She would've never caught the subtleties just by watching the show.

It looks like certain things do not get volume shipping discount. Best bet is to play with the items in your cart and then click the get shipping estimate. I purchased the Competition Range Bag for $45 last year before shipping. Shipping was around the same at $12. This is on sale for $37.50 and shipping is still $12. For this item, it is cheaper to buy 1 as shipping goes up to 32 for 2 bags. I don't know why. Cost for 1 with shipping is 49.50. Cost for 2 is 107 (53.50 each). If you want 2, just do 2 separate orders. I'd say play with the numbers a bit to see what combination works. Some of the bags are big and are shipped in their own boxes. Just for comparison, 5.11 has an equivalent range bag that is priced at 119.99. Even with shipping, these Midway bags are a good deal when you look at comparable bags. Forgot to mention this expires in less than 2 hours.

Midway is having their 36th anniversary sale and are offering an extra 25% Off Select MidwayUSA branded products for 36 Hours Only. It ends at 8 PM CST 6/19. http://www.midwayusa.com/find?promotionid=708187 Notable items: Good range bag. It allows you to carry a ton of stuff. I originally got it for USPSA competition. I mainly use it to haul multiple handguns and calibers to the range. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939259680/midwayusa-competition-range-bag Another good range bag. Smaller than the regular competition bag and I feel it is the right size when I go for a match where I'm only using one handgun and one caliber. It is still ok if you are bringing 2 handguns. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939167522/midwayusa-compact-competition-range-bag Great rifle bag. Comes in 42" and 46". http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939239907/midwayusa-tactical-rifle-case-with-6-pockets Great sniper bag. The 56" has been sitting in my cart for quite some time. Sale price before was around $75. It's an even better deal now. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939171584/midwayusa-sniper-drag-bag-scoped-rifle-case There's tons of other good stuff here. Just be careful of shipping. It's pretty expensive if you order 1 of each item. You will typically save if you order multiples of the same item in the same color. The only exception I see is the sniper drag bag. It's pretty much $16 to ship each bag.

Not to steer the conversation away from Riflegear but MidwestPX (forum vendor) is selling 15/30 Windowed Gen2 PMAGS at the same price. Free shipping if you buy $150 worth of stuff. http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?cPath=15_79&products_id=590

Looks like this one. http://www.amazon.com/Mako-Israeli-Defense-Forces-Pistol/dp/B004O6EQAQ/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1 Also comes in tan.

This is probably obvious but equally important is a good shooter. You can give the best equipment to a new shooter and they would probably not hit the same spot twice. It's not the fault of the equipment. Practice will help you hit sub-moa.

You can pick a muzzle brake that is not as loud or one that directs noise elsewhere. I have the Spikes Dynacomp on one and the SJC Titan on another. The Spikes is pretty quiet compared to the SJC Titan which is most likely due to all the little ports on the brake. The SJC Titan will not make you any new friends at the range. Interestingly, the noise to the shooter is very manageable as it directs the blast completely sideways. The noise from a PWS FSC 5.56 my buddy had was also pretty tame. The Troy Claymore brake should also be relatively "neighbor friendly" as it directs the blast down range.
