Thanks. Didn't remember that. I did see some press on the Kriss. and yes it should be a wild one Mrs.Monkeyman.

Found my wife a Smith 417 a few years ago. She loves it. She has wrist and tendon issues, and that is about all she can hold and shoot. I got really luck with this one. It was virtually new, bought from a small shop I dealt with nearby. An older gentleman had bought it and attached a Crimson Trace grip on it. He didn't like it for some reason and brought it back to trade or sell. I just happened to be there immediately afterwards and snatched it up. Spent about 20 minutes adjusting the laser and it's been perfect.

Which rifle is that? My brother-in-law is a big 10 fan and might like to know about it.

I'm tempted to try one of the EEA models, but I'm a wimp and don't really care for the 10mm. But maybe it was just the Glock I didn't like? lol

Very impressive work. Really.

That, my friend, is treasure. Plain and simple. And you aren't rambling. Just celebrating the life of a very important person.

I agree with you an the video. I loved it. I didn't come up with names for each one immediately, and there were a few of the new faces I don't know; but it was pretty good. And once again...proof that a legend walks among us. You have had an impressive career. Maybe not always out front in the limelight, but always adding your talents to the mix. And making all things better.

Joe, my friend, I am very saddened by this news. I know nothing much will comfort you at this time...but my prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless and keep you all in the coming days.

Post the last firearm related thing you bought!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm a bit ahead of you. lol Got a few mags run thru mine. I Suggest you look at the HBindustries site. They have some replacement parts for the Scorpion. I got the Theta trigger and extended charging handle for mine. As well as the spring kit and the AK style safety. All four parts were a bit under 175 if my memory serves me this morning. Oh...be warned that the parts sell out quickly on the site. I was about 5 weeks getting them all in. But when all installed, it was well worth the wait. It's a tossup as to whether the new charging handle, which really makes a difference; or the AK style safety lever was the better choice of the two. Both are a major benefit for the Scorpion. The slightly longer and better grip with the extended CH makes a major difference. The safety change is fantastic. No more awkward finger positions and rubbing almost raw when firing. And you can get the trigger and charging handle in red or black. Red if you want to be stylish and get more attention. Or black if you wish to remain incognito with your weapon. Short version. I love the changes and it's worth it. -
Well said, Omega. That's what we all should aspire to be and do. Unfortunately...not everyone succeeds or even tries. But back to the op's question, report it. I had an experience with a seller several years ago that had me contacting E-Bay and sending copies of my emails. I received an apology and a full refund from the seller.

Congrats! But you better get another case of 9 coming. That first one won't last long. -

DD grip and stocks from a member here. Like them so much I think I'll get more for some other rifles. -
Looks good, but I couldn't find any lumen or candlepower rating on it. Did any of you happen to see something?

Still recommend Sam Hoster at Custom Defense in Gallatin. -
Join in. We may never get any of them, but it's fun to gripe and ask for them anyway. lol
-
Yes. Where is it?

Great idea! I'd be willing to bet that somewhere along the line, some of the GGC bigwigs have given this some thought. -

Sorry, mine's enough. Good luck cleaning and with your listing. -
10/8 - 10/9 Gun Show at Fairgrounds - anyone go?
hipower replied to Pntblnk's topic in Events and Gatherings
Thanks, I appreciate the heads up on it. I'm only about 6-7 miles away, but that's one less trip. Now I can stay and help clean the house. Yay. -
lol Now you are into the hard part...picking one. Or is it just one? Good luck.
-
I have nothing against the Magpul products, but with people like CDNN routinely running Glock 17 round mags for 19.95. I'm sticking with factory mags.

10/8 - 10/9 Gun Show at Fairgrounds - anyone go?
hipower replied to Pntblnk's topic in Events and Gatherings
I guess I could just drive out and see, but has anyone found if the show at the Shrine Hall is on? -
I'm with Fourtyfive on this. The price to put together an AR is about as cheap as I've ever seen. You can buy full kits with everything but a lower from people like PSA for as low as 450 range. I've seen complete uppers as low as 230, and complete lowers 159. More recently those have been rising fairly quickly. Granted the PSA may be an entry level rifle, but I have several from them and functionality has been great. When you can get into a fully functioning rifle for under 500-550...well I can't see it going any lower right now. Colts and Rugers can be had in the 900-1000 range routinely. But the higher end rifles like the DDM and Noveskey are rising. So I suggest if you want an AR...buy now. All this just my opinion. But if you do a little searching on the web, and gun shops, I think you'll agree.

Wow! A 100 hp bike/trike? That's some motoring power.

SWEET TRIKE! Heck I might could ride one of those. LOL Heck. Who am I kidding? I'd fall off before getting it out of the drive.
