  1. I keep telling Dad that he needs to get his VA Id card so he can get the free meals. He says he'd rather pay full price than fight the lines!   

    He really does need to get his ID card so he can use the VA if he needs to.

    I am seeing a lot more of the " I am on disability and would like to buy your vehicle but I will not get a check until next month".

    *I really need vehicle but i wont have the money til dec 3rd i really need a vehicle i will buy it* followed by * Im on disability n used this months check to buy our house*

    I also have it stated on the ad the vehicle is NOT a daily driver and needs work.

    At least they haven't gone to "disabled vet" yet. And besides if you can buy a house on 1 monthly check, I'd think they would buy a new car/truck and just finance it that 1st month.

  3. The best way, and the cheapest, is to get a box of 9mm ranger T +p+ 124 grain ammo. Standard 357 Sig is 124-125 grains at 1300 fps. The Ranger T load is published at 1300 fps. That will give you a really really close approximate of it.

    My son shipped on 10/24 and it's being delivered today 11/7.  15 days in all not bad. He's too busy at present to test it out I may have to do it for him :dirty:

    You sir are a great father!

    I haven't watched TWD since the season opener last year.

    Does Rick still hold his Python above eye level and point the barrel down? This always struck me as an awkward position, much less being unable to aim the gun. 

    That's the accepted way for shooting little girls who are zombies.

    I don't have a pic of the setup, but here is a close example of what one if mine looks like. The other has a Sig brace on it. There are sights on each.

    I thought with a M-Lock rail piece you could add an A2 handle to the side of the foregrip. Not sure how functional or comfortable it would be. Just an idea that popped into my head. 

    That little round hole on the hand guard should be a QD sling socket. And in the pic you can see the loop on an end plate like I was talking about.

    Posting in another thread I came up with the question: Is an A2 carry handle legal on an AR pistol? If so could you mounted at a 90゚ angle on the handguard rail and still be legal? Mounted under the rail might be questionable as it could be seen as a forward grip. Or would it?

    I came up with this when trying to find a good way to mount a sling to the M-lock rail on one of my 9mm AR pistols. It is easy to arrach a rail piece or mount to the M-lock, but the lack if a stock makes the other end a challenge (to me at least). 

     

     

    There are a ton of end pieces that have a QD socket or a loop on them. That's what most people use. The Shockwave has some slits you could use for a sling. I'd make sure you got a good hold with a M-lock sling mount. I didn't have much luck with the magpul one on my 308.

     

    I use the magpul ASAP plate on all my ARs that get a sling for the rear point.

    My thoughts exactly; "It's a 30 yard shot and Negan's standing on an elevated platform, why are you not filling him with holes already?"  I guess the answer was that Rick wanted to give Negan's acolytes the chance to surrender.  However, I think they'd have been more apt to surrender if Negan had started talking and immediately caught five rounds in the chest from Rick's MP5.

    Also -- lots of ammo expended during this episode.  Is ammo not a problem any more?  Maybe Target Sports USA has reopened.  :)

    It annoys me in an tv show/movie that it's in.

    The utility and ubiquity of the Glock 19 and Glock 17 platform are undeniable.  Arguing against them is like arguing that the AK-47 isn't a benchmark for the same qualities in the carbine platform.

    But, I'm telling you, the M&P 9mm platform is better in just about every way.  All it lacks is the widespread presence that the Glock enjoys due to a two-decade head start.  Had the M&P been introduced at the same time as the Glock 17, we might be having a completely different conversation right now.

    I'll tell ya I search my soul once a week over Glock vs M&P. I got a RMR on my Glock 19 and I got a #### ton (yes a technical term) of mags for my G34 and G19. I've more holsters than 1 man should own for glocks and am heavily invested in Glock.  But I shoot my M&P Pro for IDPA and shoot my M&P 9 full size better than my glocks. I just can't seem to make the switch to my Apex'd out M&P. 

    Maybe if I box everything up and bury it deep deep in the safe under all that AK stuff I have from when I had an AK.

    I think a little more is needed, what caliber and from what twist are we looking at, and what is your goal?  I've changed out barrels to a faster twist in order to stabilize heavier projectiles (for subs) but mostly just feed the rifle what it likes.  

    308 and the current twist is 1 in 12. I'm planning on shooting the heavier match king bullets.

    I looked at aftermarket barrels and everything I saw when it comes to Rem 700 and Heavy is the price or more of a new gun.
