There is no spoon errr, Carhart.

Thought I would pass this along for those wishing to purchase a lower: PSA Blem Lower $139 (free shipping) I don't see this listed on their daily deals so maybe just an email campaign.

I just use the link on the upper or lower right, the activity link does bring up more for me too; it does start with the newest though.

Quoted?? Nope, still good.

Hmmm, lets see All good here, using Internet Explorer.

Vine varieties do ok in small spaces, they'll seek out the room. I once "lost" a watermelon that went into the underbrush, but once I found it it was ready to harvest. I planted three varieties of tomatoes, Roma, Sweet 100s, and early girl, and of course jalapeños. I also put in 4 cauliflower and 4 broccoli hoping to get them to grow this year. No vine stuff, I don't know how well it would work in the raised planters, not to mention the electrical wires.

You have a nice setup, I may expand mine a bit just for S&G, right now I just plant salsa

I won't go into a bunch of could be's but Baron von Steuben was a definite force multiplier during the revolutionary war, imagine what a seal team could do to get one side or the other trained in modern military tactics?

These are the cases that will be going to the SC, and some here want to take the chance of letting Hillary get the job of appointing at least one possibly more of the next judges.

It happens, specially with slower moving handgun bullets. A bullet needs some resistance to penetrate, that is the way Kevlar works, it dissipates the energy from point of impact to the surrounding surface. I wouldn't read too much into it .

All is not lost, just get a clamp on gas block: Clamp-on Low Pro if you want it under the hand guard (measure inside your hand guard for fit) Clamp-on Rail Height with picatinny rail if you want it exposed

Some of that was tried, but many still had the old way of doing things ingrained into them. Heck they even took out Lincoln, a bit late, but to no avail.

Good luck with that, if they are removed the bottom will drop out of the market and there is no way any of those shops will support that.

No mention of what gas block or whether it's dimpled or not. Look directly under the gas port for the dimples, since it's nitride coated it will need a good drill bit to dimple it if not already done. Get a set of calipers and measure around where the gas port is, even a cheap HF $10 set (coupon) will give you a good measurement.

They can be as low as this: Alloy from Midsouth $10.40 Steel from Midsouth $21.89 (I's go steel) you may need to dimple your barrel if not already done. Or as much as: Clamp on steel from Daniel Defense $61.00 Clamp ons are good if you have enough room under the handguard and no dimples on the barrel. All these are for .750 diameter barrels (at the gas block) so be sure to measure yours (or check specs) before buying one. Also there are adjustable ones but no links to those since more than likely you won't need one at this time.

They will last a season or two, friend of mine has his in frames using the hay as filler to raise the height then some garden dirt on top of that. Me, I went the 55gl barrel direction last season, all I got out of them was jalapenos though, squirrels got all my tomatoes. This year they are coming in well, but now I have a plastic owl, a blow up snake and if that doesn't do it, I have electric lines on the top...heh heh, fried squirrel.

Even with M4s with a full combat load, this may not have been a done deal if an effective strategy is was not employed. You figure the Confederate Troops in this situation could withstand an attack like this? But again, this goes back to ammo discipline; how many of those repeating rifle's bullets found their mark? Sometimes equipment is not everything, training goes a long way in the effective use of said equipment.

Yea, didn't catch Dolo's last sentence. It would be an interesting experiment to see how long an AR can run on BP and cast; maybe if run real wet it would last longer. I know that during the Vietnam war dirty powder was a major contributing factor into the AR's bad rep in the early days.

Not a fan of the A2 front sight, even though I used one my entire military career. I like the sleek look of a flattop, and now that my eyesight is not what it used to be I put optics on mine anyway, most don't have iron sight at all. I think with the choice of iron and optic sights available now a days a flattop is the best choice, then you are not limited on what you can mount on it. So I suggest a low profile gas block under the handguard.

You would be surprised, the AKs, well heck most Eastern Block weapons and equipment has such loose tolerances that carbon, sand, and dirt buildup wasn't much of a problem.

This argument/decision keeps raising it's head, even in these modern times. When I first joined we had select fire (auto and semi) M16s, then they came up with a select fire with semi and three round burst. Now, they have auto and semi again with the M4s, which took an upgrade to get rid of the three round burst. Here is my take on this; full auto is hard to control, but it's a good psychological tool, nobody wants to raise there head when someone is slinging all that lead at them. But precise controlled fire wins the day. I was not infantry, but unfortunately I had a few opportunities to return fire and in none of those cases did I even consider full auto. I can pull the trigger fast, fast enough to put at least three rounds per target in critical areas. In that same time frame, I would of wasted 10-15 rounds, at the same target. I have some training though, many soldiers did/do not; I seen many just let loose never knowing if they even hit anything. I am sure there are those with more experience than I that can effectively keep steel on target in full auto, but I don't think the average troop can do the same. The three round burst thing, well short answer is it sucked. It always shot three rounds per cycle, so if you let off after two, the next pull you would only get one then you had to release and pull again to get to the next three . At least with full auto, with practice, you could do the same thing in three, four, or five round bursts. As far as the civil war, if you could arm all your soldiers with M4s, and each man had a combat load, typically 210 rounds, and you could drum it into them to have ammo discipline then I do believe what ever side had that advantage would win. But, and that is a big one, there would eventually be a need for more ammo, so once engaged they would need to be quick and merciless collecting weapons and ammo along the way.

I think that would depend on a few things; The three delays, were they the only transactions at that LGS? What where the delays, background check related? If so are they using/spelling your correct info vs the other LGS? Are the prices/guns worth the hassle to you?

Unless there were a reason why they could not reload their ammo, if all they had technology wise is what they had then, then maybe they couldn't , then yes they would probably stay with their MLs. But if they could reload or had a large supply of ammo, then I highly doubt they would choose a ML over an M4. One squad of trained infantry could decimate a civil war era skirmish line with an M4, they can also take out leaders from 4-600 yards easily. Hell, the Gatling gun was used in the civil war and would of been used more if the early models didn't have some issues.

Probably misunderstood one of the survivors from before who described the climb as "It was a sum beach!".

If by old site you mean the way it looked before the upgrade I'm afraid you can't. Once the site's software is upgraded you have one of two versions, with light or darker views each, the mobile version (less brown on the outsides) and the regular full site version.
