I have worked with electric a bit, and this does seem simple. Kill the power, connect the feed....my wife disagrees so I'm willing to pay someone who knows what they are doing. As far as looks, I am doing surface mount conduit anyways, so I was thinking a surface mount panel would be fine as well. Mount it next to the existing panel, one hole in the drywall to snake the cable through...

Any electricians on here? I'm looking for someone to help me with a small project. I have called a few local companies without success. I need more outlets in the garage, and I want to run a new circuit for it. The current breaker box has one open slot, and even though I don't expect to need more circuits I think a sub-panel is in order. I'm looking for someone to install the sub-panel and connect to the existing box for me. Once that is done I will handle the rest of the cable runs/outlets. I'm sure I could do the install but with the potential risks I feel better with someone who does this for a living. This seems like a fairly simple job if someone is in the Columbia area willing to take on a side project.

I went through a bunch of IWB holsters for my Glock 19 until I found TT GunLeather. I have the Mike's Special and it is perfect. Milt Sparks holsters were close, but the TT carries the pistol lower in the waist band which I prefer.

I had a PS3 years ago and when the time came to upgrade, really debated between PS4 and Xbox One.... I ended up going with the Xbox One. I haven't upgraded to the One X yet, but maybe when prices drop later this year. My reason for the Xbox One was that it was more than just a game system, it is really a media system. Yes the PS4 can play DVDs, etc. but the Xbox just seemed to do more media wise, and we watch/stream as much as I typically play games. Most of the games are going to be available on either platform, but there are some special games that are locked to one or the other.

I bought the gel cups for my Peltor's a couple of months ago after using the standard foam for years....not cheap but was totally worth it. They seal better and are a lot more comfortable, although they can be very cold depending on weather. They are typically about $50 on Amazon, but have seen them drop to $35-40 a couple of times.

I bought some tread grip tape (ladders/stairs) and used a new Talon grip that I hadn't installed as a template to cut out a couple of my own (Glocks). The glue isn't as sticky as what comes on the Talons but worked well enough to last the past 6 months or so now. There are a couple of spots that are loose, when I get around to replacing the tape I will use some additional adhesive (available from several sources).

I wasn't too interested in purchasing something proprietary from FA anyways, was really just interested in what loophole they found and seeing if it could be used for individual builds. I am not buying an inaccurate non-rifled barrel and/or proprietary ammo, so will be going with an adjustable arm brace for my next build.

Nothing more to be said for Strategic Edge. Great place, the waiting list exists for a reason.

Right. Agree with MacGyver, gimmick. They have a ton of press, but on other forums it is negative attention with the detailed release. I like that a loophole was found, but the actual usefulness is lacking especially with the costs involved.

Video says 4MOA at 50 yards with standard ammo...........sheesh. Tumbling starts at 50 yards. They are designing a .308 bullet (300 BO) that will improve to 1MOA.

Yesterday's report said the barrel was rifled....yeah, not really. Interesting approach for sure. What I read so far, media day shooters were limited to testing at 50 yard steel. One or more people shot at a further distance and said the POI vs POA drop was massive, which doesn't bode well for success of this product. BUT, projectile shape will play a very important part.

https://www.outdoorhub.com/news/2018/01/22/quick-look-franklin-armory-reformation-hands-shot-show-2018/ From the link What we know so far: The “firearm” has a rifled barrel so we can put that rumor to rest. The trigger is the standard binary trigger from Franklin. It shoots once when you pull the trigger, and once when you release it. The “firearm” is 26″ long and comes with a stock and no need for a tax stamp or ATF paper work. It shoot’s really well and feels just like an SBR

Per Outdoor Hub from today's media day, it is a rifled barrel and the standard binary trigger..... Franklin Armory is supposed to release full details tomorrow publicly but if today's report is accurate then this has to be an overall length or length of pull matter.

It was pretty detailed, but still leaves a bunch of questions. The emails that were noted regarding stuff to try out seems like some sort of sell or a sting, half of the rifles without sights of any sort, how many of the total rifles were fired, how many rifles in each room fired..... This was preliminary so hopefully more info comes to light. For the conspiracy theorists, the autopsy notes in this report did not have much info at all, including gunshot residue (although we know he wore gloves, should still be GSR on his person with over 1k rounds fired). For as much information as the report contained, it still lacks a lot. No matter what the report said, even with irrefutable evidence, not everyone would be satisfied though.

Saw elsewhere that it's was confirmed to be the trigger. Hopefully we know for sure on Monday. On the national forum, they dug up some stuff showing that the length of pull has to be over 13.5" to qualify as a rifle. So a buffer tube that is missing the last couple of holes, or is pinned very easily could bypass. I sure as hell hope so, because I want something that can be retro-fitted to existing firearms and don't want some expensive funky trigger. ETA - the length is more about intention to shoulder. Rifle definition includes shoulders fired.... As nice as it would be, I don't really believe the ATF would let it fly although they have shocked people with some other decisions.

Finally some information released, although it honestly isn't very much more than has been pieced together. Still no motive, autopsy says suicide but is vague on other details, on-going investigation because of child porn (which his brother was picked up on the week after the shooting). Preliminary Report: https://www.lvmpd.com/en-us/Documents/1_October_FIT_Report_01-18-2018_Footnoted.pdf

Something new and proprietary ammo wise could easily skirt the law, as easily as using a non-metallic cartridge. But that would require other manufacturer's involvement as I don't see FA starting an ammo company. And it would be unlikely IMO to ever sell very well, unless it is 'intended' for a specific ammo but could easily fire a common caliber as has been referenced. We should know soon enough though.

On Arfcom, no one has found a legal description of a rifled barrel. I don't expect the trigger to be involved in this, but go ahead and surprise me. Not a rifle, not a shotgun implies something Barrel related to me. So the barrel itself is twisted, or muzzle device is rifled, something to beat the rifle description with a rifled barrel.

The trigger appears to be their basic binary trigger. Safe, Semi, Binary. Additionally, the firearm in the press release is identical to their SBR, which means we are all guessing without seeing a photo (potentially). Link to their SBR: https://www.franklinarmory.com/collections/short-barreled-rifles/products/bfsiii-franklin-armory-11-5-libertas-sbr-nfa Right now everything is speculation. I hope it is a loophole that could otherwise be exploited, look at some of the other loopholes found recently by other companies, but not holding my breath.

OS very well could be on to something. Additionally, this is the company known for their binary triggers, which appears to be shown in the photo..... possibly related to the function of the trigger and projectile count? The term “Rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.

Figured long guns section may get more traffic than under the NFA section. Saw this earlier, from Franklin Armory. 11.5" AR with stock that is not a NFA SBR. This isn't posted under news on the Franklin Armory website and only a few other websites are reporting it. Will be interesting to see what comes of this. https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/franklin-armory-introduce-non-nfa-11-5-inch-ar-pattern-firearm/

Vortex caps over (standard) Butler Creek IMO. I haven't tried the BC multiplex though, they sound similar to the Vortex Defender.

I don't mind the looks. Have been considering an AR-9 build for a while to use Glock mags, this may scratch that itch. Throw on a Magpul stock, a 10/22 trigger, and have some fun.

I'm far more interested in their PCC. 9mm and will accept Glock mags, takedown model with 10/22 part cross compatibility. ETA - missed the thread on it in Long Guns.
