TGO Protech Dark Angel Official Thread
TNMTBik3r replied to willis68's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I'm in for #12. -
If we were closer I would trade you a black slide or frame to offset some of that FDE. I think the single color is a bit much personally but I love the bi-tone looks (Black with FDE/OD/etc).

Getting ready to move into a new place, one of the upgrades I plan to make is a smart thermostat. Current home I have a programmable thermostat but never invested in a Nest or anything as the place is fairly small. New place is 2 stories, but only a single HVAC zone, so I am leaning towards an Ecobee 3 system with a couple of remote sensors as the thermostat is upstairs (main floor, hallway) and a couple of primary rooms are in the basement. I would like to add some smart lights in the den/rec room but that can wait. Smart locks, I'm not sure yet. Would be useful when family is staying with us or whatever.

USPSA match March 18, Strategic Edge, Chapel Hill TN
TNMTBik3r replied to Tnbb3's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
Great match indeed. -
Very interested.

Well, it may no longer matter. The listing agent of that specific house called back today, and they have a contract on it now. Someone made an offer sight unseen basically - inside is not finished and the builder had no available photos of the expected result which is partially why we were waiting for info. Oh well, lots of other houses being built, and both new/used pop up on the market daily. We haven't even listed our place yet, expect to this week and we expect an acceptable offer within 24 hours based on recent activity in this neighborhood. I'm not moving out until we find us a good spot, so someone may be waiting for a few weeks (beyond normal closing times) as part of the contingency in the contact.

Yeah, that was one of the few things I was able to find last night. His name is on several houses that we saw over in the area. They all look very nice, I just would like to know more about dealing with that builder for warranty work and such.

We are house hunting, found a new home that really has everything we want based on the listing, but the interior is not finished and after scheduling a tour my realtor received a call back saying no tours are allowed yet. We did drive by, love the exterior look and what little we can see through the windows. The house appears to be within a few weeks of completion. The builder is not a name I was familiar with, and research has not turned up much (founded in 2004, discovered 5 reviews). Does anyone here have any experience with Gary Boyce Construction, building in Chapel Hill but based out of Shelbyville? If you do not want to post anything publicly shoot me a message.

Recommend a 50-dollar butt stock

Bravo Company BCMGunfighter. B5 Sopmod. Magpul anything. -
I am about 30 minutes from Strategic Edge - It is not as convenient as the range 10 minutes down the road I used to go to, but is 100X better (atmosphere, safety, available equipment including steel, plus the target distances). When I go out there I spend at least 2 hours typically, if I take a couple of rifles it is no problem to spend a few hours. I know several people from Nashville and further (Chattanooga, Huntsville, etc.) who make the drive to SE because of all it offers. They either do not shoot except when they can spend several hours to make the drive and shoot, or pay for a close range that allows them to shoot but without the amenities that SE offers.

I was getting ready to go buy a Glock 43 but going to take a second look at a Springfield XDS 3.3" 9mm now. A few ounces heavier but comes with better sights and get the extra mags for the same price as I can get a G43 blue label.
-
I am very tempted to pick up a bottle of ALG Go-Juice and try out (maybe their lube and very thin grease). I read some good things on a couple of other forums, the lube seems to be very thin but some people mixed the two products, or even the lube with something else to thicken it a bit. The WeaponShield I picked up is working out good. Not that I ever had any issues or reason to question my Slip2000 EWL or other products....

May be some discounts coming if they try and ditch merchandise based on this. https://gearjunkie.com/yeti-rtic-coolers-lawsuit-settlement

LaRue MBT-2S is what I am running in my hunting/target rifles. ALG ACT in my carbine. I used to have a couple of Geissele triggers and they were great, but (IMO) the LaRue is every bit as good as the SSA-E I had and a lot cheaper.

I can't wait. Have really enjoyed the series.

Three British stooges, a bike, and an electric fence.
TNMTBik3r replied to Sam1's topic in General Chat
We had a pulse electric fence growing up, and a family friend was over one day. She asked about the fence and how it was able to keeps the cows in, and was told it was electric, etc. Said friend did not trust what she was told, and walked over and started tapping the fence. She timed it just right and was hitting in between the pulses, missing the shock. She then proclaimed the fence was not working and quit tapping it, and instead grabbed a hold. Much laughter ensued from us watching. -
It was a great game. I didn't care either way - I cheer for SEC teams in bowls, but as an UT fan I wanted to see Bama get beat. The game could have went either way, several big plays, mistakes, and missed calls on both sides. That game was exactly what a National Championship game should have been like.
-
I just ordered some Weapon Shield CLP to try. It sounds like it may be a bit thicker than my currently used Slip 2000 EWL and cling to a BCG better but I will see.

I'm not selling this back! I just noticed that picture shows the MOS plate not seated flush with the slide. I forgot I had that issue when I first installed the optic and didn't notice until at the range that day. It is a fairly common complaint with the MOS plates, is that the included screws are either too long or too short. The screws from Glock were so long they actually raised the plate and optic away from the slide, after some reading online I went to Ace Hardware and bought some screws that were the perfect length.

41 MOS. I have since added Talon Grip tape but haven't touched anything else. I may install a 3.5# connector at some point so it more closely matches my G34 trigger. Or even a full trigger group, haven't made up my mind yet. One of the coolest factors of the G41 is the 9mm sized slide. The G41 fits my competition holster for my G34 without issue, if/when I want to use it. I actually shot both in USPSA the other month, just had to deal with the mag differences.

I have stuck with my RCBS beam, but have read a lot about the various digital scales. There are 3 scales that seem to top the lists depending on what you read. Not ranked, just listed: Dillon D-Terminator - https://www.dillonprecision.com/d-terminator-electronic-scale_8_7_25213.html Ibalance 101- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C3G73U/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_7?colid=3F4C3YMFNYUUQ&coliid=IXONWZZILSO4L Gempro 250 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C3I3AA/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_6?colid=3F4C3YMFNYUUQ&coliid=I14O1AW0525S4T If you want a combo dispenser/scale the RCBS Chargemaster seems to be the way to go.

The smell is the best part I used my spray bottle of M-Pro 7 and then refilled it with Hoppes #9.

I have some FireClean I use on my Glocks. Not dedicated to it, just trying to use it up since I bought it to try. For my AR, Slip 2000 EWL only. I read a bunch about this a couple of years ago and after buying some never looked back. I do have a can of aerosol RemOil I use at times for quick rubdown of external parts but that is very infrequent. I am not a die hard of anything though. I will (and have) try different products, but right now I have stuff that works well and no reason to buy anything else. Breakfree is on my list to try at some point.

Anyone seen this powder yet? I read about it on the national forum a few weeks ago and then picked up the 2017 Hodgdon annual two days ago which has data for the new powder. I don't shoot .300 Blackout, but this powder is tailor made for it. Also suitable for several other calibers and the one that interests me is for 6.8. I currently load using AA2200 but am eager to get a pound of CFE BLK and compare the two loads. Supposed to be available in January so may be showing up on shelves very soon.

Greg, out of College Grove area? I'm not sure he is in the business anymore. Haven't seen or heard anything in close to 2 years now.
