It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Smith & Wesson has pmags available on their website still.

I grabbed a few since I read they're the go to ar mag at just about every website that ever wrote about them

Santa came by a little late to see me.  He brought me the one piece red thermals (with the poop chute) I've always wanted.


He also dropped this off

Ruger SR1911, 45, made in America.

Not only made in America, but just about three miles from my house -- my neighbor Angel works on the line! I want one.  [thumbsup]

There are some evil people in this world that need a large bouquet of those flowers. They know who they are. I'm thinking special delivery! ;) [popcorn]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Tell your neighbor, Thank You!  And let him know they make some beautiful high quality pieces. 

The Ruger plant in Newport, NH is about 15 minutes from me, everyone that works their is proud of their work (and they should be) and I'm a big Ruger fan. 

I have my eye on a SR22 and 10/22-FS.   Soon.  Anyone here own an SR22?

A friend has an Sr22 and loves it. I want one too. Similar to my sr9c :)

Did you take this picture?

No.  Now I even forget where I found it.

Just thought it was too cool not to share.

So, I picked up my AR-15 type carbine (Del-Ton Echo 316) on the 26th.  Finally got to fire it Monday down in San Diego at an indoor range.

I've fired these before, but this is the first one that is mine.  Pride of ownership focuses the attention in a way that nothing else seems to do.

I've been looking around for accessories.  Since I have the "MOE" edition I learned that MOE means Magpul Original Equipment.  Naturally I've looked at the Magpul website for ideas.

While clicking around inside the Magpul site I felt like I had discovered some type of accessories porn.

So, is Magpul like the Rizoma of AR15/M16/M4 carbine goodies? 

Are there others I should check out.

Good analogy.

I like milsurp stuff. For mags, I haven't had any problem with the Orlite mags I kept from service.  They are pretty near indestructible.

Pick up a copy of Shotgun News and there are a few dozen AR15 twaddlers.  Fulton Armory is one that comes to mind for being high end.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I won't be buying any troy mags after seeing this BS.  I'll wait for my regularly priced pmags to ship on the 29th.
