Unlike two years ago, you can find 22lr any day of the week now. It may not be your favorite brand or 2012 prices, but you can find it. The best way to find the good(ish) deals is to get on mailing lists (Cabelas, SGAmmo, etc.) and check them in the a.m.. Last week I snagged four boxes of Troy Landry CCI Mini-Mags from Cabelas web site. It took about eight hours for them to sell out. Back in `14 they'd have been gone in minutes.

Used mine to make jumper cables out of heavy gauge speaker wire. First to strip the wire and then as a clamp bound to the battery terminal with electric tape around the handles for tension.

What exactly is a shotgun shootout? Trap, skeet, sporting clays?

Police supply shops have exorbitant fees to discourage plebeians from darkening their doorways. Lanagan's in Shrewsbury charges $95.

No, no no....definitely, get rid of those old antiques. PM me, I'll take em off your hands .

Modularity and ease of modification as my needs evolve.

The A-Team was less conspicuous. I think the "shoot your local heroin dealer" on the ammo can pretty much says it all. Vigilantes.

Forget the churlish paint job and lights, displaying Higher Ground Tactical all over the vehicle practically screams search me. When the cop saw the cracked windshield he probably started foaming at the mouth and his eye twitched when he realized he would not need probable cause to have a closer look. At any rate, they're boned.

To be perfectly honest, I effing hate anything made in china. I like the American defense mount. I've been shopping around for the mount and the spacer but cannot seem to find anyone with both in stock. I may just get the mount and a crappy 3 slot rail for now and grab the spacer when it becomes available. Also seeing some nice hoods. I take care of my hardware but a little extra insurance wont hurt. My brother-in-law elect has a full machine shop. I may take a crack at making one but the Burris hoods look like they may fit. I have to see if the openings for the controls are the same. EDIT: Just found both in stock at SWFA and ordered. Now the waiting begins.

HE Thanks for researching this. I heard back from PA and they say the picitinny mount is removable and confirmed the footprint is the same as Burris (Fastfire). They also said I could use a Leapers 0.83" med height picitanny mount as well. Since the optic is a budget item I want to mount it on a QD riser, yanno, just in case I need to remove it if the optic soils the bed sheets.

Standard Picatinny mount.

Primary Arms low profile reflex. Fits picatinny and weaver rails Not Rated for shotguns or handguns Length 46mm (1.8"), Height 19.3mm (.76"), Weight 1.9oz.

I've been shopping QD 3 slot risers and they come in a crazy wide variety of heights. Ya'd think the product descriptions would make it fairly obvious what height suits a particular purpose, but they don't include that tidbit of data. I have folding front and rear sights (M4gery flattop) and intend to keep them tucked away mostly, but I'd also like the option to flip up that front sight and see what it's like to use the reflex and the front sight simultaneously.

Well, I went to SGammo's site and they have everything I shoot in stock at relatively normal prices. So what if I have to wait a little longer for shipment, big deal. I guess it's a problem for impatient or unprepared people though. Go ahead and panic if you want. I'm good.

I have not seen any substantial increase in ammo prices. In fact, all things considering, I've seen some pretty good deals out there on bulk .223. Ammo prices tend to go up a little bit during the summer months, just like gasoline, it is a seasonal price adjustment. Almost certainly CTD and scalpers were foaming at the mouth in anticipation. People wised up post Newtown. While there may be a small surge in AR and ammo sales, we will not see panic buying on that scale again.

Interesting concept but it's still an impediment and the additional moving parts create an untold number of opportunities for failure. I prefer my firearms (and anything mechanical in general) to have the fewest moving parts possible.

For the project you indicated, it's a terrible buy.

I've run some Herters 00 through my 870. It all went bang but feeding and extraction was a little rough which is a little unusual because I've never had a problem with high brass shot shells.. I had to rack the rounds with authority to get it to cycle. Burns kinda dirty too.

The MSM is picking up on this because they have no other choice. Naturally the story is being spun as Couric having made a "mistake", that the pause was simply for dramatic effect, that she initially objected to the pause (yeah right) and now feels bad she did not more strenuously object.(yeah right again). First she stands by the documentary, then after being presented with incontrovertible evidence back peddles and says she had a problem with it? No way. It was her documentary, she could have had anything changed she thought was impropper. What a load of BS. She did not apologize for the blatant deceit, she said she regretted it was misleading. The only thing Couric regrets is that someone in the audience had an audio recorder and exposed her for what she is. A liar..

Just 12 years of canceled checks.

Here's the scenario. I own a landscaping company, my business address is my home address. I also rent space on a lot (we call it "the yard") there are about a half dozen other landscapers that rent space there too. Office is at home, but all operations are run from the yard. So, the question, as you probably have guessed, can I carry within the confines of the property that I rent. The lease is informal (verbal), have been operating out of the the same yard for 12 years now.

.243 or 6.5 Creedmoore

Perfectly legal but...do you really want to advertise to passers by that you have firearms in the house?

This range report is for the birds.

As an alternative to the 20, I'd suggest considering a single shot 16GA. They are out there and can be had pretty cheap, less than $300. The only issue is ammo availability and cost. A 25rd box will run about a buck more but If you reload it's pretty cheap. Reloading for shotgun is stupid easy.
