I want one.

Updated OP with this video:

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm going to need some tools. Any recommendations on what I'll need? Assume I have nothing and I'm only working on an AR15 and related accessories.

I'll see what I have on hand here at the house and report back. I'm not a particularly handy person (if you couldn't tell by now, hahaha).

Sorry. I'll pick a new hosting site for the picture. Should be up momentarily.

Hey guys, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get these 1913 rail panels off my KeyMod rail. My hex wrenches don't fit and my torx screwdriver can't get it to budge. Here's a picture of the panel: Am I using the wrong tools? Thanks!

As others mentioned, this is good news, but it is certainly not the end of it. Harry Reid simply did not include it in the bill that they want to introduce, likely because it will be met with a heavy amount of resistance. Parts of AWB2.0 will likely resurface as amendment in other bills that would likely draw more Republican support. We need to be vigilant and if anything seems fishy we should investigate and share it.

Wow! Thank you!

So I saw my subscription feed had a new video from the Military Arms Channel (MAC) and was happy to see that it was a full review of the IWI Tavor. This rifle looks great and I really would like to get my hands on one if I'm in the market for another tactical rifle. For those not in the know who want a tl;dr, the Tavor is an Israeli designed long-stroke gas piston, bulpup style rifle. It is now being integrated into the Israeli armed forces as the current AR series rifles are being phased out. Here's the video:

I think you're operating under the assumption that I am a one issue voter. I'm not. Republicans, while they may currently be correct on gun rights, have a long way to go in terms of expanding rights. I haven't forgotten the Patriot Act. I haven't forgotten about gay rights. Do you know why they aren't very confident about an AWB at the Federal level? It's because there are Democrats who will likely vote against it because of the political pressure from their constituents back home in their largely red states. This isn't about compromise. This is about expanding the support base for the cause. If you're going to blindly eradicate potential support for gun rights because you have no concept of tolerance, then you're committing political suicide. Do you know what a liberal sees when they read posts from you or those like you? I'll tell you.They certainly don't see someone they want to identify with, and they become emboldened in their support for more gun regulation. This is about being reasonable and open. The gun rights movement has seen a big influx of women over the past decade, why not be willing to transcend politics and create a message that says "Hey! It doesn't matter what color, gender, sexual orientation, or political party you are. Everyone is welcome in the world of guns and we're happy to have you." I'm not pro-gun because I like your type of attitude. I'm pro-gun because I was convinced otherwise in my desire to understand the issue better. I was formerly anti-gun because I was raised that way, but I can't say I'm totally sure I'd be pro-gun now if you were the person I was talking to. Many people here claim that "the liberals can't be convinced" and I call BS. I'm active on a website called Reddit, which is largely left-leaning. The gun board there has over 100,00 members and there have been several occasions where liberals have come asking questions. Each and every time they left either pro-gun or more sympathetic. The way you approach the issue is not helpful in the slightest, because you are being exclusive, not inclusive. I'm sorry that I'm getting angry, but it's not because I shouldn't be.

Burnt Bronze looks good on anything. Good choice. Where'd you have it done?

Oh wow! Thank you for telling me what I actually wanted! I never knew until today. This is life changing. Thanks for letting me know I hate everyone here and that I have for some time now. What an epiphany! I'll be sure to hand in all my guns and support anyone with a (D) next to their name because apparently I support total confiscation, because this is what you would have anyone who was on the edge about the issue do. Brilliant thinking! Let's screw the centrists! We didn't need them anyway. Thank YOU!

I'll double check the email I had sent to see if I inferred I wanted the barrel done. I will also clarify that I'd like the hand-guard done (not sure if that's considered the upper receiver or not, or if it is in some contexts and not in others). Next question, Easton Firearms Refinishing is the only company I know in the area who does Cerakote coatings. Who else does, and do you have any experience with them?

I should clarify my "special" gas system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3RC33OyDjc4#t=75s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRh-ZYqYB0k

I think Berettas are generally good looking guns, but the safety just totally kills it for me on the PX4 and 92. But I'm in the minority so I'll shut up now and try to swim out of the impending tsunami of drool.

So I'm working on getting my AR15 to be exactly how I want it and part of that process is making her look purrrrdy. Part of that process is getting a paint job. So here's what I know: I want to use Cerakote I want to have it painted in this camo pattern (maybe some slight variation). I want to have my upper and lower receiver done. With that out of the way, I'm looking for a business that can do the work. I first tried Easton Firearms Refinishing (located in Easton, PA) and they are unable to do the work because I "have a Jersey compliant rifle that can not be fully disassembled[:] gas block can't be removed". I'm new to the AR scene. I didn't build my rifle so I'm not too familiar with the rifle breakdown. Is the inability to fully disassemble the rifle a complete roadblock to the work I want to have done? Here's a quick picture of my upper receiver for reference: Thanks in advance, guys! -Sgt

How long was the wait? Was it unusually long for a car of that age?

A day before my birthday? Sure! I'm in.

I'm not very familiar with the parts situation, but as far as I'm aware, Kia is a sister company to Hyundai and as a result, both the Optima and the Sonata use identical parts. If you look at the trim levels and engine specs, you'll see they largely mirror each other) (you'll also never see them ever compare against each other in commercials).

...and if you're someone who can't stand the looks of the new Hyundai sedans such as myself, Kias are effectively identical cars that just look better IMHO. No luxury models with Kia, but the Optima looks great and is the same thing as the Hyundai Sonata.

Gerdmnit guys! We cun stand in te rain n' cold at te rally but we can't sit fer coffee!?! Seriously, though. Give me a date and I'll be there (typically two week notice is preferred so I can take off work).

Ran across this video and I just had to share it. I want...

Not accusing anybody here (or anywhere for that matter), but there has been reported behavior of dealers selling off the extra mags from factory guns in an effort to turn a profit. Anybody looking to buy a handgun of any kind should be aware of what their handgun of choice typically ships with, and report here if a dealer is caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Also, I'll give a plug to the new Mazda 6. Sick looking car for an incredibly reasonable price.
