I have ran a few boxes through mine with no issues...cant remember if I had any minor glitches or not, but if I did they weren't significant. I want to pick up the CMR-30 to go with it...and I saw some aftermarket magazine floor plates I liked that I would mind getting as well, except they aint cheap, lol.

Thanks, guys for the tips! When I said mobile, I was thinking handheld, but perhaps a mobile would be better after all...recommendations on those?

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but it does fit. I have been into shortwave and scanning radio for many years, off and on, and have long had a desire to get into amateur radio as well. A long time ago, fear of learning code kept me out, but I think that not now required, so...I have absolutely no idea of where to start. I'm thinking portable for my first radio is a good idea, and maybe get a base station later on. Can anyone recommend a good starter rig for a newcomer? I'm so lost I dont even know what bands to start with. I posted here as a STTF possible use, but I also envision this as another hobby to get into as I plan to reire in a few years. Figure funds will be tighter then, so might be a good idea to buy the equipment now. I welcome any and all suggestions.

Sorry, I can offer no help, but I will pray for you, brother.

Im ready for a brand new modern setting book, that will capture my attention. One that will take a while to read. -

Finished it. Rarely are sequels as good as the originals, and that's true here too. One Second After was the best of the three. -
Good SHTF Survival Fiction Books
Defender replied to plank white's topic in Survival and Preparedness
I agree with earlier posts about One Year after, by Forstchen not being as good as One Second after. It wasn't the writing style so much as the story line didn't seem fully developed. Right now I'm reading The Final Day, which is the last of that trilogy. I like it a lot, but I'm near the end and got a feeling the end will be sudden and quick, lol. Anyway, I like it a lot. Ive read most of his books, even the ones he co-wrote with Newt Gingrich about the Revolutionary War. -
Post the last firearm related thing you bought!

3 boxes of self defense ammo. -
As a former cop, im a law and order type guy. Do the crime do the time. But the drug issue is killing us. Lock 'em up aint working. It may be right, but it just aint working. Eliminating the source aint working either. I hate to not have a solution, but its taking over our country, between coming across the borders and #### being made right here...I bet 90 % of the crime in this country is drug related directly or indirectly.

You can also go to their web site and navigate to a channel lineup so you can see what channels are what number. https://login.comcast.net/login

They're getting me for about 164, but that includes equipment. What Comcast gear have you got?
-
My only concern really is my watching schedule. I record a lot to watch later, and would need to buy a couple dvrs.
-
Lmao, you're right! That's why I was careful to not call him stupid. Now before you call me stupid, I'll just admit it, lol. Good thing I'm not a rocket scientist, or we'd have more crashing rockets than North Korea! I was confusing monthly and annual, and adding them together. Usually I can use my brain for something more than just to hold my ears apart...thanks.

Your math confuses me a little. I'm always looking to get a better deal for what I want, so I added yours up probably I missed something, but you said you had been paying 180, now you pay 99 for Amazon, 10 for Netflix and 80 for internet...isn't that 179 total? I'm not calling you out, lol, just looking for any good alternative than what I have and i'm a little confused...would appreciate a clarification. I really want to lower by cable bill, but right now I have Comcast and am paying about 164 a month for unlimited internet, HBO, 1 Main and 2 Satellite DVR boxes, and the last time I argued with them to get this price, they threw in Starz for 6 months and said they would do another 6 months if I call back in 6 months. I could easily get by without the HBO and Starz, hardly ever watch them anyway, nor do I watch the multitude of other channels i get. What I DO like though is the total of 3 DVR boxes where I can record what I DO like to watch and watch it on my terms or start watching in one room and finish it in any room. After getting fed up with Comcast, a friend of mine went to one of the Satellite deals for TV but kept Comcast cable for internet. Hes getting way more than me, but then he pays more overall, too.

This is probably a niche item, not of much use to many, but I will probably get one for each of my ARs. http://www.alloutdoor.com/2017/09/06/magnetospeed-minimag-3-round-ar-magazine-fits-grip/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=2017-09-09&utm_campaign=Weekly+Newsletter

Picked up a rifle I never thought I'd have today
Defender replied to rugerla1's topic in Show and Tell
Wow, Im envious. I love 10/22s and have a few. I would love to have one of their old .22 mags. Are there hicap mags available for it? I havbe an old savage .22 mag but Ive been on the lookout for that keltec .22 mag, CMR-30 to match my PMR-30, but have so far been unwilling to pay the asking price...maybe someday Ill see a good deal on one.., or a trade... -
Got a few USAF stickers and an NRA sticker on mine.

My first CZ was a 75 P-01 made of aluminum. Great gun, still have it, but I also wanted a higher capacity CZ so I picked up a polymer CZ P-09 which features a 19 round magazine. Love both of these firearms! CZ makes some awesome guns.

What kind of scanner do you have?
-
After a couple decades out of it, I got the scanning bug again! I just picked up a Uniden BCD-396XT Handheld and a Uniden BCD996P2 base scanner, both second hand with some programming already on them. Wow, scanning has changed. Im about completely lost. I live in the Goodlettsville area, close to Madison, so I can pick up most of MetroPDs area, Goodlettsville, and often Hendersonville as well. I downloaded the free computer program, Freescan, and am ready to get started. I also plan to get a premium membership at radio.reference.com, and will have access to the frequencies there. Does anyone have either of these 2 scanners and might be willing to help me? Either things got way more complicated or I got slower witted or both...Im kinda lost. You tube hasnt helped a whole lot do far/.

Just saw a review of this compact 9 and I must say I like it. I've been looking for a pocket 9 for a while now, and I really like this one. Need to find one and see if it is pocket size. I love the way it offers several carry configurations with both a safety/decocker and a trigger, with da/sa options. Normally I like bigger guns but I want to replace my 380 pocket gun with a 9mm. Anyone try this gun yet?
-
Has anyone seen this yet? I own several Sigs, but this one is truly awesom! https://www.sigsauer.com/store/1911-we-the-people-full-size.html i want one!
-
Here's mine, it's a Gas piston Sig and I love it, even with the 7 1/2 inch barrel, but I want to get a budget model to use as a truck gun. I think I want the same size for that use.
