As others have said, stay away from the powdered Quik Clot. Get the bandages. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/62892-quick-clot/?hl=%2Bquik+%2Bclot#entry802488 Scroll down to the bottom of that thread to read about my not-so-fun encounter w. powdered Quik Clot And add a few tampons to the kit... seriously. For supplies, I like these guys a lot: http://www.redflarekits.com/ They often have pretty good sales.

UTG stands for Utter Trash Garbage. In addition to the Vortex units listed above, this: http://www.amazon.com/LUCID-HD7-Red-Dot-Sight/dp/B004BDLJX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389644864&sr=8-1&keywords=lucid+hd7 is an excellent buy for the money. A lot of folks have had good luck w. Primary Arms red dots. I, however, have no first hand experience w. them.

FWIW, Bravo has demo complete uppers (may be some scratches or marks) for $75. You assemble FA and port cover. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Upper-Receiver-Assembly-M4-Flat-Top-demo-p/flat%20top%20-upper%20-m4%20demo.htm If you are like me and don't give a crap about a few nicks or dings, you KNOW you are going to get a quality item from BCM. I bought one of these a few months back. I couldn't find anything wrong w. it. I'd rather not take a chance on a manufacturer I know nothing about.

Jeez.... 1 gallon of water...

Click the link I posted ... I'm not talking about a home wood burning stove.

Congrats!

I have two. Very well made and the best stock AK triggers I've ever fired.

That's a smoking deal. The Aimpoint PRO is usually retails ~$400.

Some people need a full belly to be able to handle a full bodied and/or flavored smoke. That said, you could have smoked an improperly stored stogie or a bad one from the factory. The last case would be pretty rare from Montecristo, though. BTW, there is a difference between "body" and "flavor" of cigars. It's a very esoteric discussion among cigar aficionados, many of whom are bullshitters. You can read up on it by googling it. Don't worry if it is confusing. Like I said, there are many douche-nozzle elitists in the cigar world and they thrive on trying to be as obscure as possible. "I tasted faint notes of an underbrewed Italian espresso from Nicaragua with a lingering taste of Dennis Rodmann's taint juice on top of a slowly simmered dingleberry stew." Try what want, find what you like and smoke it. If you enjoy it, don't let any tell you "That cigar sucks."

I'd use one for home defense..... if my only other choice were a Lorcin .25 ACP

Did you eat before you smoked it?

Could have been a Monte Media Noche. Excellent cigar. More full bodied than other Montes.

Small to medium household stuff? http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-PS31-2A-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Batteries/dp/B003BEE2LU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1388249695&sr=8-10&keywords=bosch+cordless As a contractor, I have myriad 18v cordless tools. But that little Bosch sits on my home workbench.

Double Post!

Vortex and Sightron are my best bang-for-the-buck scope companies these days. That said, I have a two or three of those Mueller APVs mentioned above and they fight WAY above their weight class. They are as good or better than many $3-400 scopes. In fact, one of mine resides on my Savage .17 HMR. Check reviews around the web. It's almost universally loved.

Have you been to Leaf lately? I heard they changed their menu... some say not for the better.

There use to be a cigar place on 206. But it has been closed. You can go to Ashes and Embers in Somerville. I know you can BYOB there... not sure about bringing in food.

Maybe he was completely holding the trigger back ?? :unknw:

Not if your nickname is Carlos Danger.

I've built several ARs and have never checked the headspace on any of them. That said, I'm not a cheap bastard and would buy a Go-No Go set if I should. I see a lot of conflicting reports on the 'net (surprise, surprise). Joe Blow gunsmith has built thousands of ARs and has NEVER used a gauge. Billy Bob Bubbason swears you need to check on every build. What say you AR gurus?

All my "survival" literature is in dead-tree format.

Love Clutch.

You do realize you completely contradicted yourself in sentences 2 and 3, right? Yes, it is MUCH more efficient ordinary wood stoves. Very little energy is wasted. Do yourself a favor and google some videos of "rocket stoves" before making ignorant proclamations.

I think you are mistaking the M1 for the M1A.
