[RIA is a picky eater]

I had a similar problem and it was caused by the mags. They were applying to much spring force at the rear of the follower. I remedied this by bending the end of the top coil of the spring up so that it made contact with the front of the follower (the end the rounds come out). I did it with needle nose pliers and bent about 1/2" back from the end of the coil at about a 30 degree angle. This may not have anything to do with your issue but it may be worth of look. Good luck.

[Parking lot law problems where I work]

2015 legislative session. Whole new statute added to the Employer/Employee section of TCA:
 
50-1-312.  Adverse employment action for transporting or storing firearm or ammunition in employer parking area prohibited -- Cause of action.

  (a) For the purposes of this section:

   (1) "Employee" means a natural person who performs services for an employer for valuable consideration and who possesses a valid handgun carry permit recognized in this state; and

   (2) "Employer" means a person, association, or legal or commercial entity receiving services from an employee and, in return, giving compensation of any kind to the employee.

(  (1)  (A) No employer shall discharge or take any adverse employment action against an employee solely for transporting or storing a firearm or firearm ammunition in an employer parking area in a manner consistent with § 39-17-1313(a).

      ( An employee discharged, or subject to an adverse employment action, in violation of subdivision ((1)(A) shall have a cause of action against the employer to enjoin future acts in violation of this section and to recover economic damages plus reasonable attorney fees and costs.

      © Any action brought under this section shall be filed in the chancery or circuit court having jurisdiction in the county where the alleged violation of subdivision ((1)(A) occurred.

   (2) In any action brought pursuant to this section, the employee shall have the burden of establishing a prima facie case of discharge, or adverse employment action, based solely on the employee's transporting or storing a firearm or firearm ammunition in the employer's parking area in a manner consistent with § 39-17-1313(a). If the employee satisfies this burden, the burden shall then be on the employer to produce evidence that one (1) or more legitimate reasons existed for the employee's discharge or adverse employment action. The burden on the employer is one of production and not persuasion. If the employer produces such evidence, the presumption of discharge, or adverse employment action, raised by the employee's prima facie case is rebutted, and the burden shifts to the employee to demonstrate that the reason given by the employer was not the true reason for the employee's discharge, or adverse employment action, and that the stated reason was a pretext for discharge or adverse employment action. The allocations of burdens of proof set out in this subdivision ((2) shall apply at all stages of the proceedings, including motions for summary judgment. The employee at all times retains the burden of persuading the trier of fact that the employee has been the victim of discharge, or adverse employment action, based solely on the employee's adherence with § 39-17-1313(a).

   (3) The employee has one (1) year from the date of termination of employment, or the date of adverse employment action, to file an action pursuant to this section.

© The presence of a firearm or ammunition within an employer's parking area in accordance with § 39-17-1313 does not by itself constitute a failure by the employer to provide a safe workplace.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in § 39-17-1313 for parking areas, nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting an employer from prohibiting firearms or firearm ammunition on the premises of the employer.
 

That is great info. Thanks for the update.

I've been out of the loop for a while largely due to the election. When did this change?

I believed it went into effect last summer.

[Almost there...]

The M1 Carbine is a fun little rifle and excellent for home defense. I have two. One is just like Uncle Sam issued them, but the other I've played with a bit. 

Max Brooks, author of "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z" feels that the M1 Carbine is the ideal Zombie gun. Who am I to doubt the expert? So I built myself a Zombie Rifle. 

I agree that the M1 would make a good zombie gun. At 100 yards it has about the same energy as the muzzle energy of a 357 Magnum with an equivalent bullet weight.

Negative on the knife. I am open to any of the others depending on the type of hunting. If it is a stalk I would prefer to use a rifle or pistol.

Yes I would. Look like fun and I have heard they are good eating. Don't know much about it, or have a place to go. Thought a paid hunt might be a good way of getting some experience.

[Looking for input for a outfitter for hog hunting]

When deer season ends I get the hunting withdraws. To ease the withdraw symptoms after deer season this year I want to go on a hog hunt. I have heard of reasonably priced outfitted weekend hunts in Texas, but it is hard to tell what you get for your money.

Have you been on any hog hunts that were great experiences? Where did you go? How was the hunting, accommodations, and guides? What was it day or night hunting? What was the cost? And anything else that you care to share.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

[Tell me about your AR 10]

A couple years ago I saw a Knights Armament M110 sniper rifle and thought that style of rifle would make an awesome deer hunting rifle. I started researching and was heading down the path of doing a ground up build. As others have already mentioned parts are not standardized among manufacturers so you have to buy the upper and lower receivers and associated internals from one manufacturer. For the most part you can buy every thing else from whoever. Since I am a budget minded enthusiast, I learned that I could buy a complete rifle for about $300-$400 less without sacrificing my goals.
I ended up buying a PSA PA-10, 20" SS free float barrel, 15" Midwest key-mod handguard, and a NIB BCG. I purchased the complete upper and lower separately when they went on sale.
The rifle has functioned flawlessly, but I expected that from PSA. For me the gamble was the barrel, but as it has turned out I can consistently shoot sub-moa groupings with it.
I really enjoy shooting the rifle and love the ergonomics for hunting. Good luck and I hope this helps.

[Alright, Which One of You Was in the Co-op Today?]

When you have those 30 rounds mags in the gun it shoots better if you hold it sideways.

[If you could only have one gun, what would it be?]

Just one is a pretty abstract thought for me. I prefer to pick the tool based on the job. Based on what is going on today I would pick my PA-10. The .308 is a good all around hunting round. The high capacity semi-automatic capabilities could be handy in other situations.

If you have a smart phone or tablet you can download an app called "Wikiarms". It will allow you to search .30 ammo deals, or any other ammo you are looking for. Good luck.

[Bayonet Lug ?]

Keep in mind that the bayonet attached to the lug and the flash suppressor. If you don't have a 22mm flash suppressor, you can't use the muzzle for that support. The lug by itself is a poor choice for mounting anything.

It looked that way to me too. Just curious if there was anything else it could used for. Thanks

[Bayonet Lug ?]

I don't see myself ever hanging a bayonet off the front of an AR. It might make for some cool gun porn, but not my thing.

My question is are there any other practical uses for the bayonet lug? I have seen a few adapters for mounting stuff but the looked light duty and weak. Has anyone used anything that worked well, is durable, and they like? Rail adapter? Flashlight mounts? Stuff like that.

Just wondering. Thanks.

Two big thumbs up on the PSA Premium CHF mid-length upper 1:7 twist 5.56. The barrels are made by FN and are essentially an M249 barrel. Mine are tack drivers. Never a problem.
