    Fear and Firearms Values

    I vividly remember a guy working at a local pawn shop telling me that the mag in his G17 was selling for over a hundred bucks during the Clinton ban.

    Fear and Firearms Values

    I can think of one that I'd love to have (and don't currently have), would likely get banned for the chillren, and is in what I'd call a relatively possible to purchase price range... MP motherfucking 5, a real deal HK manufactured one, semi-auto of course. My problem here is the price...

    Recipe Tips / recipes for grilling corn on the cob?

    I realize I'm late to the party, but... I had to get better at cooking corn after marrying my midwestern wife. I like to use flavored butter for grilling corn. And as for grilling, I strip off all but about four layers of husk. Fold those down, remove silks, then fold the husks back up once...

    Form 3 Wait Times Update

    Yup. That was my 'election year' purchase... and last fun toy for awhile.

    Apocabox / Creek Stewart / Really cool

    Good point- I enjoy trying out different things, tools, and gadgets- especially when they're outdoors/"survival" related. I'd love to see someone put together boxes of gear to be tested by users. A low cost, industry sample kind of box. I guess to make that work you'd have to have some sort...

    Med Kits & First Aid Packs

    Their kits look pretty good- I've put together mine from parts mostly... GI surplus pouches of various sizes and bandages, butterfly closures, non-stick pads, antiseptics of various types, rolled gauze/rolled self adhesive ace bandage-like material... Generally, the stuff I feel proficient...

    Apocabox / Creek Stewart / Really cool

    Interesting... I've seen the Apocabox ads before and also visited the website- looks neat. I've come to realize I'm too much of a control freak to let someone else pick out stuff to send me. However, I do look forward to reading your review.

    Do You Co-Witness

    So you guys don't just point-it-over-there and start pulling the trigger? Damn I've been doing it wrong. Kidding- sold my red dots. I just shoot irons now.

    HK wants me to get a divorce.

    That's just being humane. Shooting a squirrel with a bullet 3/4 the diameter of its head is really best for the squirrel. I'm about to start eliminating the local chipmunk population on site. Although I'm going to go with a 10/22 so as not to disturb the golfers playing through.

    HK wants me to get a divorce.

    I've talked with Rudy over there a time or two... they're located about five miles from me. I have not gone over to see their uppers first hand, but everything I know about the .45 AR pistol upper seems to be first class. Unfortunately, so is the price. I have no problem paying for a top...

    HK wants me to get a divorce.

    Hummm... After the initial "Woah that's cool- gotta have one" reaction, I finally settled into that thought. I mean, the POF's and Zeniths aren't Fiero's with Ferrari plastic parts on them- they do have the same roller delayed operation and (I assume) should operate the same. There's a lot to...

    Mossberg suing drop-in trigger companies

    I'd tend to agree with that. I didn't know Timney made a drop in pack.

    Mossberg suing drop-in trigger companies

    I'm not sure where I stand on this one. On the one hand, I hate to see in fighting within the industry I'm very fond of... however, at the same time if I were the patent holder for the drop in trigger group, I'd want to be paid for my work. (I didn't read the patent- I'm assuming it's an all...

    Rattle Canned the AR

    I like it- looks good! And the painted, then well used look is good too- I like the worn finish.

    HK wants me to get a divorce.

    What the hell? I saw the barrel "shroud" but it's not even threaded? If that's the case, I've lost interest- it would have to let me use a can if I were seriously going to go drop that kind of money. Hummm... http://zenithfirearms.com/product/z-5p-pistol/ Still expensive, and still not an HK.

    HK wants me to get a divorce.

    Oh my God.... I'm so glad I didn't buy one of those POF made mp5-ish guns now... Ok, so I can live without a/c in the truck this summer, that's $1K, now to find the other $1.7K.

    AR Triggers

    I have not personally shot the GS2, but it gets very good reviews.

    AR Triggers

    Hard to do a home job... I've ruined one hammer that way (but nobody was going to tell me otherwise before I did it). I'd tell you to just get a Geissele, but that doesn't fit the budget constraint. Love my SDC triggers.

    Idiot drops gun in Cracker Barrel injuring 3 people.

    Ha- my G26 and Galco holster slid right down my pants leg at the Kroger gas pump one day. I'd just put it on after being at work all day... apparently I missed the pants hook when I put it under my belt. Oops.

    Brace yourself HiPoint owners- 20rd mags

    I had a hi-point carbine for awhile and it shot really well. But the cutout on the left side of the sheet metal receiver cover made it a no go for me- basically a direct gas channel into my nose from the chamber. It shot fine. It would basically hit where I aimed. But not being able to...
