Does NJ require permanently attached floorplates on all magazines? I'm looking at some reduced capacity mags and they come with the option of perm attached or not. It would be nice to be able to give my mags a proper cleaning every now and again.

After saving his family from those home Invaders, I bet he got more than just a happy ending.

Before I looked up the HP info I had a feeling it was either the CPU overheating or the graphics card, which is probably on board. When I went to the HP site, I just guessed the age of the machine based on specs. Still, both error code designations fit my initial gut feeling. If you happen to have an old graphics card laying around in a drawer, or one you could borrow out of anther PC just to diagnose your machine, that would be super. So, if you could just go ahead and uhh, disable the on-board graphics and throw a graphics card into an expansion slot, that'd be greaaaaat, Soooo, yeah, let's do that and you submit your TPS report so we can see the result. M'kay.

Before you go through all the trouble of swapping out mobos, go for the low hanging fruit. The power led code (4 blinkie blinks) is telling you it's a thermal issue. btw, onboard thermometers are not exactly precision instruments. Just pull the heat sink, scrape it and the cpu, and put a dab o' fresh thermal past on there. That's a whole lot less work, is a logical step in diagnostics and is exactly what I'd do based on the 15 years experience I had as as a computer tech.

There are a bunch of things that can cause a system to shut down. I'm not familiar with 10 but I'm sure it has Event Viewer. That's where I'd start. From what you have told me though, it does sound hardware related. I'd look at the heatsink and make sure it's seated properly with a compound. Most computers will shut down before the CPU fries itself. Bad power supplies can also go lights out without warning. EDIT: Confirmed. HP error codes, 4 blinks is a thermal issue.

Occasionally, Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters (Harry's Army Navy) has pretty decent sales on select items. I believe they had the Ruger AR-556 on sale for $500.00 not too long ago.

Find yourself a used pre 2000 870 Express or a Wingmaster. You should be able to find an older used 870 for about $300.00. I am not impressed by either Mossberg or Remington these days. The later model guns work okay, but they do not compare to the quality they used to be. I just bought a Mossy 590, it cycles okay but it's clunky. My 1992 870 cycles like butter and has NEVER malfunctioned. The 870 action is a tank! Mine came with a 28" bbl but, most of the time, it wears an 18.5" bbl, that I picked up a few years ago. If you don't like the wood furniture you can go with Magpul gear and throw on a +2 mag tube extension for good measure.

This is the way I'd spruce up (or would that be "walnut up") my Shockwave. The guy used furniture off an old mossy. The only thing I'd add is checkering on the grip.

Here is a good read by Chuck Hawks comparing two nearly identical cartridges. It explains the technical differences in a way that does not make one feel stupid. In other words, it is in plain language. Abstract Full article here ---> http://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_243_6mmCreedmor.html The bottom line for me, though it was not specifically pointed out in the article, is that if you are going to invest in a PRS rifle for competition, go with 6mm Lapua if you are really looking to eek out that extra .01 moa. Otherwise, just get a .243. All the 6mm CM, or Lapua for that matter, does is allow the reloader to seat a longer (and heavier) VLD bullet in a case with a slightly shorter neck. For the average non-competitor who will be happy with .5 to 1 moa, 243 makes the most sense as the rifles and ammo are far more cost effective. For example, a .243 Ruger American Predator Rifle will cost about 1/3 that of an entry level 6mm CM and off the shelf ammo is half the cost. If you absolutely have to have .25 moa and reload (as most competitors do) and have a trust fund to bankroll your hobby, Creedmoor (or Lapua) all the way.

Just an FYI, if you plan on shooting in competitions, having a brake/comp may disqualify that rifle. From the NRA HP rule book If I'm not mistaken, most competition shooters do not use threaded barrels, I believe a target crown is the most common muzzle profile. Those that do have a threaded muzzle use a thread protector or whatever flash hider came stock. More good news, a standard A2 flash hider is also (to some extent) a compensator. If I am mistaken, I'm sure someone will come along and set things straight.

Ho ho ho.

I'm guessing the reserve is not less than $125,000.00

I don't remember all of the details but the story goes something like this. A mold was made from the Barris modified metal body of the Futura which the B mobile was built upon, three fiberglass bodies were then made from that mold. The mold cracked so another mold was made from the body of one of the stunt cars Two or three more bodies were made. The guy who made the second mold eventually sold the mold to someone who then started making replicas. legal battles ensued. Slight modifications were made, most notably, the iconic Bat logo was changed a little bit, just enough to not infringe on copyright. Other minor details were modded.

Peel, I'm afraid you are suffering from pork roll derangement syndrome. You just can't accept the fact that it is pork roll, and not your beloved ham that is on the package label. I pity the ham snowflakes for their misguided ideals.

I was going to buy everyone on the forum a 5# Taylor Ham for Christmas but I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere.

I've driven that car. There are a few of them floating around. Built on old Town car frames. Worked for the owner showing it at comicon and car shows like. Carlisle. And yes, it does shoot flames. No jet engine though.

uh.... eh.... ahhh.... erm.... omg, I left the iron on, gotta go.

Good, just clarifying since you mentioned multiple rifles and no room in the safe.

Zeke, are you planning on using the scope on more than one rifle? If that's the case, not a good plan.

Zeek sounds like you need some Ernst Apel mounts, EAW guarantees 100% return to zero every time. Sprechen sie deutsch?

Can you buy a new slide and have it shipped directly to your house or does a slide have to go through an FFL? It is my understanding that only handgun frames have to go through an FFL.
