Benchmade Contigo
Thanks for the feedback. How much harder would this be to sharpen than, say a Kershaw Leek (14c28n steel)? This is what I currently use for edc. I am not well versed in steel composition.

ATI Lowers in stock
The one that I used on my lightweight build was perfect. There was a slight gap between the upper and lower, but there was no play in the fit, and the pins went in just fine. Further, all of the other lpk parts went in just fine. I ordered them not expecting much for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. I have a Noveske Gen II lower that is much prettier, and the finish is much better, but the fit is no different. I also have both Adcor & POF lowers that the fit is more loose, but again both of those lowers look nicer and have better finishing on them. I believe that "mil-spec" calls for some play between the upper and lower. I happen to not like this. My favorite combo in my Noveske N4 upper and lower that fit like a tight glove with no play at all.

Ex-LAPD on murder spree...
I hope that the people who were shot by the LAPD that were in no way involved in this sue the PD and get a huge payday. There is no excuse for this. As a person who drives a very generic color generic brand car I hope that no one ever commits a heinous crime driving the same thing I do and puts me at risk inadvertently.

Benchmade Contigo
Any thoughts? I am about to order one to check it out but was wondering if any of you had experience with it? 4" is a bit large for an edc for me, but I know Benchmade makes quality stuff and I found a good deal on it. Reviews also seem to be pretty solid. http://www.benchmade.com/products/810 810BK would be the model I would get, for $130 shipped. If you have any knives that would beat this is quality/price, please share.

ATI Lowers in stock
didn't get to see what they were selling for, but keep checking ATI's site to order them directly. They haven't raised their price from $43. I got a couple of them in Jan and they shipped about 3 weeks after the order was placed (same as Palmetto).

What Guns Are You Currently Lusting For?
Bought one this year, don't regret it. GF loves shooting it, just don't like the stovepiping issues it seems to be prone to. Right there with you on this one. Pre-ordered one from the distributor that claims to be getting them from IWI first. Will be my first pistol purchase once my permits are back. Hopefully in the FDE frame. Please let this happen...

Spending on Firearms - How Much is Too Much?
BTW pre-ordered a Tavor yesterday after watching the SHOT show reviews and I can't wait for this thing to come in! time will tell if paying msrp was a good decision or not... also, I hope that Midwest PX figures out how to block those g3 pmags bc I only have like 4 usgi steel mags to use with it otherwise.

Spending on Firearms - How Much is Too Much?
Well good on you for not using credit cards...cc debt is a **** to get out of personally I use cc's for almost everything, but only for the rewards points - i pay them off in full every month i'm not trying to preach, but in this market selling off your gun related items at a premium might be a good idea in order to build up a security buffer in your bank account, in case some big bills come up, or something bad (god forbid) happens. having a bit of a security blanket in your account is alot more important than adding guns to your collection (as long as you have what you need for protection). after writing this i feel like i have gotten crazy old in the last few years...

Spending on Firearms - How Much is Too Much?
since i joined this forum over the summer I have spent about ~12k on guns and ammo, but I got alot of what was on my wish list, and I now have a decent stockpile of ammo for the calibers I shoot. I think about another 8k in guns and 3k in replacing ammo this year and I should be able to take a year off of buying guns next year. yea right...

Transporting handgun question
Different question - I have an out of state ccw, and am on my way to the airport with my handgun to travel to one of the states I am permitted to carry in. If I get pulled over, do I still need to play the "I am on my way to the xxx nearest gun range" game? In this state is it still illegal to take a handgun anywhere but the range?

40sw 150 bucks for 500 rounds instock
got mine today. anybody else notice that there were absolutely no orm-d markings on the box lol. What was even better was that they didn't put it in another box, they just slapped a shipping label on the sealed winchester case.

Get 'Em While They're Hot - RRA AR-15 $2,495!
They sold a used LWRC for $3500 a couple weeks ago. From what I gather the insanely high rifle prices there are consignment guns, bc they are not able to get anything in stock through their distributors. That being said, they are not doing anything to help the situation. I happened to inquire about consigning a gun with them, and the manager told me to list it for the highest price I could think of, bc it would sell no matter what price was put on it in this market.

Kel Tec 2K
If you walked in to the shop and bought it off the rack, you got a hell of a find. They are pretty rare these days.

Does Anybody Know what These Vintage Zippo & Ronson Lighters are worth
Those are pretty neat. Out of curiosity, how long ago was it the msrp on them was $6.75? They must be at least 20-30 years old I am guessing. Also, as 9x19 said, there must be a zippo or lighter forum that can help you out with valuation.
