Under a loose jacket in the chill why not. Have one myself for open live fire sessions. Between that and a carry case, hardware and mags plus a decent amount of ammo, your covered. Mind you it'll be a truck breakout if needed, not on foot for my area, foot after I'm in the woods/fields. If I'm holed up in the house, at least everything is at hand. Not planning on going shoping in it There are several scenarios this would come in handy. Each one is different I would think.

For Zombies, there is no thing as "little much"

I'm a little late on the hello scene ... but better late than never. Hello to all! Not new to the gun scene but new to the carbines. Stuck in Hillsborough NJ, I'm guessing this is the place to be as I mod some stuff Already have read a wealth of info and have gotten advice from you guys. Great site you fellers have here.

Everyone, thanks for all the input. vladtepes, moved the RSA back to the rear of the forgrip and on top, vtac sling works fine, actually better and am adjusting it for fit. So moved the light to the left side, and on a budget so used a offset light mount I had on the top rail, lets me snug up my grip with the left hand pretty much unimpeded. Very nice. Light is in the optic area but just barely and not in the way of red dot or sites. It's not as far forward as the thorntail but close and is very doable, so switched to the regular button cap .. good thing as the pressure pad cap was playing games already ... tried to contact jetbeam to get an answer .. not worth the time ... it has a mind of its own as to when it wants to work, something going on in the cap, the regular back is so far solid 100% so thank you for the input. Once the budget opens up, would like to move it forward some more and out of the red dot sight. All in all, very happy with everything. Ready for a test drive once I get some time. Need some outside time to adjust, sight in, and get comfy with everything ... the vtac slings I'm finding interesting and may switch even the 870 and a 22 over too them, interesting slings and carry options .. only compalint is the pull string.... just made a longer rattlesnake paracord pull and much better now. Again all, much appreciated

Have been debating that, just getting used to the vtac sling and getting the length right. Gonna try it in the back position, now my grip is the RSA is on the left pointing up, thumb rests on its base and rails cover next to it. Can feel it in the way. Will set it back ... was worried that the rear attachment is at the rear of the lower, not on the butt, thought they may be too close. If I feel comfy with it back and the rear so close, then will move the light to the left, button will be right near the thumb I'm guessing. Fellas, thank you all for the input! Damn glad I found this site!

Update: Double side is working on velcro and on quadrail. However, seems the pad itself is covered with a silicone based rubber .. nothing sticks. So .... dug into the tackle box ... Pro's Soft Bait Glue ..... bonds the rubber that does not bond... specialty glue for odd rubber/silicone etc .. good to have around and pliable, highly recommend to have in the toolbox/fridge... bonded a piece of velcro ..... its stuck. If the 3m doesn't hold to the metal for the opposit velcro, will try gorilla glue ... have great success with it on things. I may have this licked, and the pad cap has a finely possitioned button that I can also reach fast. I think I may be cooking with gas now, will see. BTW, am impressed with the Jetbeam BC25 ... 650 lumens watertight shallow for around $50, I think $10 for the mount. Compared to more expensive lights I have, nice. Not waterproof but I don't expect to go under like my fishing lights.

Here is the perfect spot, when gripping, just a slight movement of the left index and its there below the light. Back of velcro already stopped sticking to the pad ... go figure .. never had luck with industrial velcro backing, industrial velcro with non-industrial glue. I'm thinking double sided tape to the velcro see how the adhesion holds to the metal, the velcro glue, the rubber on the pad itself, and if it can handle heat. Can the quadrail get that hot??? Haven't shot it yet so don't know.

vladtepes, I should have been more specific, the Magpul AFG (Angled Fore-Grip), not maggrip, like in your picture. Sorry for the confusing typing The Thorntail mount looks great, but am running a 2 point sling attached to the forward end of the rail with a magpul RSA, so my light is on the other side, the RSA needs some play room so am keeping the side and top clear, thus the need for a pressure switch. Have 3m double tape that is tuff as heck, but so tuff that removal would be an issue if needed, DirtyDigz, the 3M Command may be a good alternative, but from using it on glass, the peel I think would bend the crap out of the switch ... thus the velcro ... unless .. I get plain velcro and 3M that down secure, same on the switch ... that may work and not force removal to a possible breaking point. May have enough room for some larue clips with the tabs as well and slide the the light back a bit on the rail and sticky to that. I'm comfy with the industrial velco securing together and safe as it would be in the well between the rails, just the heat buildup is my main concern. I should take a pic.

Hello fellers, New AR-15 guy here. Just got a M&P 15 Sport and have been upgrading some things. It's spanky new and hasn't seen any rounds as I don't have access to any ranges and have to hit PA in a few weeks just to even sight it in and play some. Anyway, was wondering if anyone has input on what to use to attach a light pressure switch directly to the quadrail body, not the tabs, the vented body. Have a perfect spot for it directly under the side rail light, in the valley between rails, where my index or middle finger can just slide up to comfortably and easily use it while gripping a maggrip. The spot is perfect and am at the moment using velcro and am concerned if there will be a heat issue. Any ideas would be much appreciated, just hate the idea of velcro and heat long term. Thanks in advance

Gunstore ... not the best .. I'll leave it at that. Fishing .... yeah, they got the best saltwater supply around. I have to hit the shore for better and even then, Ron gets his hands on things that are scarce in the surfcasting world.

You mean Jimmy Buff's? Hey, at least it's a HotDog. Your in the right direction

Grew up on the bay at the end of the block and hung out with the old men as a kid at the tavern on the corner on 20th. Back then, the bay was a mess but fun for a kid, and crabbing was top notch though probably toxic

Bayonne? Raised on West 20th on the Bay.

Good video of it. Belt wise, the 80 is a bit rough and gives teeth. I like starting at 600 if the knife is OK, work up to at least 1k if not into the single digit microns before the leather, depends. Also, I like working it off the platen and let the flex in the belt make a natural convex. Point is, cheap, a bit of skill, and it will get a knife up and shaving sharp in minutes. What the vid doesn't tell you is move faster, the belt is running at 3700fpm, so watch the heat and dip in water.

For anyone wanting to try a great way to sharpen on the cheap, get this: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-inch-x-30-inch-belt-sander-2485.html Some various degree belts from a place like trugrit, grab a leather belt as well, hunt down some 1 micron boron paste or a rogue bar A bucket of water and a towel. It's cheap, Chinese crap, but it works. BUT its real fast so do a bunch of junkers on it first till you get a handle on it. Move fast and dip, don't let the metal get hope. Change belts as you go and work your way up to the leather strop. Hell, just the power stropping its worth it

Thanks JohnP, I'll poke around and look into it! I was telling Duppie that I found this site lloking for NJ laws on a new M&P 15 I'm modding. Was happy to see there was a knife forum as well

I have to say, for a single person, that bike may be the ultimate answer! It is perfect aside the family.

Absolutely!

Zombie Killer ... attach to drill. Looks great though! Do want.

That's one fine knife. Timeless class. Super Steel M390. Envy.

Any way I feel works for that particular knife Granted, I have the luxury of having various equipment, have used just about everything out there as its what I do but with that said: For pure accuracy to whatever fraction of a degree you want or multiple degrees, you can't beat the WEPS. Hands down the best affixed sharpener available and always growing, Clay is always updating that thing and adding to it. For good control and every grit imaginable including power stropping with leather and pastes, a 1x42 vertical sander, the slower the better. For crazy sharp after you have it profiled, paper wheels and rogues. For true Zen sharpening .. by hand and stone. The majority of my sharpening, even personal stuff, I do on belts making convex edges up to about 1k grit and move to paper wheels ... shaving sharp. Just my 2 cents.

A great EDC in my opinion is Spyderco's Manix II. You can't go wrong. Here's a great review from NutnFancy of one in blue. I'm partial to black G-10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9751H0NmnC0

The secret is leaking out For adult sizes and quality look at the enlan EL-01. Boker now put their stamp on it and are selling around $40 .... $10 plus shipping from exduct .. shhhh. For an everyday workhorse, my go to is: http://www.amazon.co...c_df_B001CZDNVU Spyderco Endura in PE. I've got Enduras that are 20 years old and going strong. Long blade, not too tall, thick spine, solid lockup, great ergos, clip mounts at all 4 points for any carry, edge shape is great for all sorts of tasks, FRN handle is tuff as nails, and VG-10 keeps an edge ... just stay on top of it with some stropping and you got your best friend.

I carry all mine clip in pocket, and tip up if possible. Over 20 years and never a problem but .... Technically, you can get snagged on that as concealed, as well as having your shirt over it on your belt, but again this is where officer discretion comes into play if you get in a jam of sorts. With all the wacky gravity rules, assited opening rules, concealed carry rules in this state, one of the most legal ways and types of knives to carry is a fixed blade, in a sheath, on your belt, outside your shirt. Weird ain't it, as it sure does draw attention while shopping.
