  1. I called TnArmsCo this morning inquiring specifically about 80% lowers. I was told they have none in stock and none in production. They are waiting on new molds and will start filling orders upon arrival. I then asked about an ETA on said molds .... none.
  2. I have one of the new Wraith models on backorder. I tried an ATN 4K a while back. What a steaming pile of crap that thing was. Stay far far away from anything ATN. If the budget allows, thermal is the way to go.
  3. What I carry to the campsite .... https://www.estwing.com/collections/axes-outdoor/products/leather-sportsmans-axe
  4. Done. Kustoff maybe needs to get the boot.
  5. Added number 8 this morning. A beautifully symmetric 8 point at 25 yards. Not a monster, but pretty dang nice. Nothing but slick heads going forward.
  6. Nothing worth posting pics of here. But including the wife, son, and myself, we've taken 7. 3 scrub bucks and 4 doe so far. Freezer is full, donations to friends, other family, and Hunters for the Hungry. CWD is only a couple counties south from us and is headed north. We're doing our part to try and make a "fire break".
  7. You can post an opinion without submitting any of the information at the bottom of the page. Of course they'll still have your IP address ....
  8. My lovely wife has one for her Glock 17. She put a Holosun RDS on it. It's a lotta fun to shoot and she is very accurate with it out to 25 yards. If ammo was more plentiful, I believe she'd shoot every day if I'd throw targets for her. Oftentimes, we buy a few of those $3 per case sodas and blast away.
  9. For the last 6 months or so, I have been of the opinion that the only safe assumption is that ... Whatever you have right now, is possibly all you will ever have. Buy/use accordingly. ETA: This includes firearms as well.
  10. Never tried the Power Belts. I bought 2 boxes of the Barnes Spitfire TMZ bullets from Knight several years ago and have been using them ever since. The Wolf came with some of the PB's but I think they were 300 grains. So we picked up some of the TC spire points since I was a bit low on the Barnes and we couldn't find anything else because it was so close to opening day. I have a couple more boxes of the Spitfires ordered and we'll try those once they come in. P.S. The wife got her first deer yesterday morning. Spike on one side, broken off on the other. But to listen to her, you'd swear it was one for the record books! It was awesome.
  11. Thanks for the info. In our case, this happens with less than 5 shots. It happened twice while sighting in the rifle over the course of like 8 shots. It might not matter ... I dunno if the pellets actually seat inside that ring, or if they rest on top of it. If they rest on top, then the gap between the pellets and breech plug is widening every time it gets loaded. I suppose it's irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. She has already said that she wants to get a different rifle if she continues to hunt. She wants a Knight. ETA ... Good group Henry347. Sorry for the hijack.
  12. My wife decided she wants to hunt this year so we bought her a new CVA Wolf. It shoots where you point well enough I guess. I've noticed that after a few shots, a ring of powder builds up on the inside of the bore just above the breech plug. I have to remove the breech plug, and use a cleaning jag/patch to "bust" that ring outta there. I was wondering if either of your CVA's do that. We've used only 777 pellets and TC bullets that you mention above.
  13. I have an Eotech 512. I recently wanted another holographic RDS for another firearm. 2 major areas of concern for me were "shake awake" and battery drain. I also don't like looking thru a tube for a zero magnification RDS. I prefer the reflex style. I bought a Holosun 507C. Yes it's China, and not really even China cheap in price! But so far, I'm happy with the product. As for batteries ... It will work with no battery as long as there is ambient light. Even indoors under LED/incandescent lighting.
  14. Would we even know about this situation if POTUS hadn't gotten involved?? I say kudos to him for screeching about it from the oval office. And if he backs out of it, will it be quietly swept under the rug as so many other things are?? I agree that it probably isn't in his job description. If the folks that truly are responsible for it actually did their job, he/we wouldn't have to worry about it.
  15. Member of both here. But I won't renew NRA when it runs out.
  16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goSXxZNTTqo Sorry ... couldn't resist.
  17. I'm afraid you'll be severely disappointed. TLC no longer has anything to do with "learning" anything other than maybe how stupid modern society has become. Nat Geo is now primarily shows about criminals. Either being locked up or how they got that way. Discovery is now pretty much non stop reality show BS. It could legitimately be renamed "The Mike and Frank Network". (American Pickers) Edit ... Forgot History .... mostly junk also. One of those does have Forged In Fire. I watch that often. But they show far more reruns than new episodes so it gets old PDQ. If you have streaming capabilities, Curiosity Stream is informative. It was built by the same folks who built the original Discovery Channel. Science Channel is still pretty good. But it's in a higher tier pkg than my subscription so I only get to watch it on free preview days.

    6mm ARC

    Anyone here tried one yet? I have an 18" 6.5mm that may very well get converted if the new Hornady cartridge proves out.
  19. Light ... Olight Mount ,,, Magpul aluminum
  20. There is a small independent Verizon dealer near me that has Windows 3.1 on his main terminal at the counter. As I've mentioned before, I have one customer still running Windows 98 with sign cutting software on it.
  21. Sonic weld is what I have.
  22. Between the wife and I, there are more than 4 and less than 10 FS and a pair of micro carry units around here somewhere. She's a "Glockaholic" and I'm partial to Sig. Yea we like full size frames.
  23. Black Dog Machine I have a dozen or so BDM mags. Most of them are 15 rounders and a couple of 25's. The higher cap models are too long for bipod shooting. Never had problems with any of them after several thousand rounds. (combined) ETA: I use CMMG bolts. I don't know anything about the Ciener units.
  24. Dedicated uppers are the route I chose. The wife and I now have 3 of them. 2 from these guys 1 assembled from parts from these fine folks.
