Good on you!

I had a similar post, where I was calling the AR platform "commodity guns".

Assembling a working, sub-half kilo-buck shooter is a piece of cake these days, which kind of showing you where the AR market is going. Or at, right now.

Fifteen years ago, who would have thunk it?

I don't have either, but I'll post just to put you back to the top.

Pictures, please!

Remains to be seen... Bronco not out till 2020? and Ranger at 2019? Guessing Ford will drop the Explorer since they're both same size. And Bronco will be mid-size, not the old style large war wagon. I'll take a good look at the Ranger. I'm on a 2012 F-150 right now, but something smaller and handier...

What they said. Silverlight is a Microsoft product designed to give you an 'engaging interactive user experience', sort of like Adobe Flash, which also sucks.

How this all started...(please bear with me...) Kenny Lane's (a.k.a. wirecutter) blog had someone asking about low end .45/1911 advice. Majority of replies said with budget constraints of the poster to take a look at the Rock Island Armory handguns. One guy said Rural King site (rkguns.com) carried ...

Get a standard issue grip, it's cheap, until you've looked at a lot of others and decide what you want.

Magpul makes some good starter sights.

Both sights sit on the one rail, or one sits on the back rail, one on the gas block rail? If the latter, you've got a half an inch offset to make up.

That's a good one. Haven't done that yet, but my wife has done my billfold couple times. Last time we were going on vacation and had to keep explaining this wasn't boob or sock money, just that my wife had laundered it...... Very glad for the guy nothing exciting happened. That would have been hard ...

If you have the 'wrong' sign, it may be stolen, your property or vehicle may be vandalized, you may be personally assaulted. True, however it is interesting how 99% of the vandalism and violence seems to come from the 'progressssives' and their 'liberal' agenda which preaches 'tolerance' and 'inclu...

Ordered one of these off Amazon, sent it back, got a second one.

Issue was, down at the 430 position, there was a big blob of epoxy for the wiring and the blob extended in to the limited field of view

Don't know if that's normal for these or just a bad production run, but it soured me on the product

lamp head still doesn't look quite right in the for the upper left

BTW, I have a lamp exactly like it on my garage electronics workbench

rescued it from the trash bin in the early '80's, so who knows how old it is, and it still works perfectly

It's something that started on the internet, and it's being promoted by stupid people who are affecting people who are more stupid.

DVDfab works very well.

I remember that series, looked a couple times and never found it was released on DVD.

So they're bringing it out now, or you have an inside source?

quite often there are some nice, rusty cast iron frying pans.

Probably a firearm that will never chamber a round again in its existence.

I'm sure some one will buy it, but hope that it doesn't wind up in the darkness in a safe somewhere.

Thanks for that tip, I'll see how my trip to Graying works out and I may try to check this one out on the way back.

I've been to so many Cabelas nationwide (including the one nearby in Dundee) that I'm pretty much burnt out on them.

All in all, the area doesn't have many good memories for me, but I was up there in February over in Alpena on a big air national guard exercise.

Thank you for the tip on Jays. By coincidence, I'm going to be at one of my company's facilities in the Roscommons/Grayling area in a couple weeks.

Ordered a Bushnell TRS-25, based on good reviews. Good scope but the one I got had a big blob of epoxy inside. Very visible in the field of view, right down at 4 o'clock.

Looks like trending is for the 870 platform and I'll have to agree. But the Mossy 500/590 would probably work for you also. If you're not into competition, I scarce doubt you'd shoot one out I just don't have any because things are in different places, Mossberg v. Remington. I'd sooner be stabbed wi...

Oops, missed one. This one has been my everyday carry knife for three plus years now. Opened tons of Cisco boxes, cut cables, and other bits of abuse. It's a Rough Rider brand, again from SMKW.

That's when you hit three or more. Although I'm on fence between "collection" and "accumulation" One on top, picked up at Harbor Freight more 'n five years ago, and I'm thinking nearer ten. It was probably $4.99 or something like that at the time as I wouldn't have spent any more...

You done good. Glad to see you rescued one, and that seems a pretty fair price.

Trust Ruger to use the Savage style mounting, it's cheaper and when done right, very consistent and accurate. Fact you tried different ammo and didn't get a big bump in accuracy points back to rifle or scope. Have you tried shooting the scope at both lowest and highest power? Also, if it's on zero, ...
