That ended yesterday, but the price is 7.49 a box now. Still not bad.

As seen on Facebook. Today (5/7) only.

except Makarov, obviously...

Well this thread is about Aimpoints, correct?

I'm still not getting why the Rec7 is nearly a grand more expensive than the competition from LWRC or PWS.

I've already discussed this topic in depth.

Holy Christ. Every time something like this happens it's treated like the end of civilization. Yeah, it sucks for us, but go to any other board and see how little they care. If you want to do your part and protest, leave the state and never spend another penny here. The Second Amendment is still alive and well in most of the country. EDIT: I get you're all venting but keep the negativity to yourselves. No need to up your blood pressure. This is a time we should think proactively, no wallow in our misery.

After reading this thread, I'm surprised there was no mention of Bobro mounts. They seem to be quite the underdog.

Good to know, Howard. Will I see you there tomorrow?

It looks to me like the FSC556 is the choice for you. As for your last point, I don't understand why people shoot ARs indoors at 25 yards. I don't get the point. Still, guns are loud and if you live in NJ, dealing with muzzle breaks comes with the territory. If people are bothered by it, they should double-up on ear-pro, leave the range, leave the state, or find another hobby. I wouldn't let your choice of comp be affected by other people's inability to deal with a range environment.

I understand that bad news gets the attention, especially in a field where the item is expected to work 99.99% of the time. Still, you would expect that other companies would have the same volume of issues reported if they were equal quality products. I haven't observed that to be the case. It's also reasonable to postulate that the reason why there's "a lot" of great customer service stories is because there's a lot of customer service queries. I don't think Kimbers are bad, just overpriced. They don't strike me as a good value for my money given the quality of the competition at the same price point.

For the same price as a Kimber, what else is out there? Springfield, some Dan Wessons, STI, and a slew of other options. None of those options come with the same spotty reputation as Kimbers. Does that make Kimbers bad guns? No, in the same way that Beats headphones aren't bad headphones. Considering the quality of materials, construction, and QC, the product is priced above where it should be. Kimbers, like Beats, are marketed well and look good.

At least they aren't talking about Assault Weapons. It's a shame that they continue to hold onto futile, feel good measures like "Smart Guns" and micro-stanmping. Those are both very easily argued against, though.

Hmmmm.... Pelican cases?

I think the creator has said it's pronounced Im-a-jur, but everyone calls it Im-jur.

Imgur titles itself the simple image sharer, and I believe that to be true. If you don't use imgur, you probably should. It's ridiculously easy to upload and share images. You don't need an account to upload images, but creating an account will enable you to create albums and track your images. Here's the link: http://imgur.com/ So let's say you've got a picture you're dying to share with us on NJGF. It doesn't matter whether that image is saved on your computer, from another website, or copied to your computer's clipboard. You can upload it on Imgur and use that to share it with us here. No matter where that image is, you start by going to Imgur's homepage. From there, you'll see the box below on the upper right of the webpage. If you have an image saved on your computer, you'll want to click the button labeled "Computer". If it's from another website, you'll want to click the "Web" button. It's like they tried to make it easy for us! You can also click the arrow in the cloud icon on the banner of the page. It will bring up a different menu with a few more options (like being able to paste an image), but it does the same job (perhaps a little faster). I'm going to get to uploading from another website later, but first I'm going to walk through uploading from a computer. Good! So you clicked the "Computer Button". Doing so will automatically open up a dialog box on your computer. You'll need to navigate to the file you want to upload. Once you find it, select it, and click the Open button. If you saved an image to your computer from the web, it might be located in your Downloads folder rather than your default picture folder. You'll be presented with another menu that looks like this: If you want to upload a few more images, use one of the four options above, rinse, and repeat. If you're ready to upload your image(s), click "Start Upload" and the image will begin processing. Once done you'll be brought to a new menu with your picture front and center with a plethora of links off to the right. Highlight the URL right underneath the "Direct Link (email & IM)" catagory. Copy that URL by either right-clicking and selecting "copy" or using the hot-key ctrl + c. Once you do that, head on over the NJGF and get ready to post your image. Simply click the Image Button (). You'll see the following dialog box pop up: All that's left is pasting that URL you copied just before into this dialog box then press okay. BAM! Your image should appear. Now instead of saving pictures from other sites to your computer and then uploading them to Imgur, you can simply copy that image by right-clicking, then pasting it into Imgur's dialog box. If you have any questions about the process or if I was at all unclear about any of the steps, let me know and I'll do my best to explain and clarify. Hope this helped!

This one?

Strings were successfully pulled at work. I'll be there the 4th.

Shouldn't be a problem leaving firearms in the car.

Man! Whip out the freebies and everybody comes. Hahaha!

I'm still in the process of setting up my AR, so I'm not sure how much advice I can give with any sort of weight behind it. For my rifle, I'm trying to make it a Jack of all trades. It will be my HD gun, SHTF gun, and range gun. I'm going to throw a Micro T1 on when I have the money to dump. Might go with a magnifier later down the road. I also want a weapon light, too, but I''m waiting on the WML-X to be released. After that... not really sure. I think that covers all the bases. If you have money to kill, you can throw on some ambi-controls like the Raptor charging handle and various mag releases (Troy, Norgon, KAC, etc.). I'm not a fan of BAD levers, but many people swear by them.

The .300BLK has peaked my interest recently. I think when I decide to put an AR together I'll do it in that caliber. Sweet build, too. Very clean and simple. I like it. Any more plans?
