Bought the DD fixed for my PSA middy from July4th.  Wasn't sure how it would be since I haven't used a fixed like that before outside of the normal A2 carry handle affair.  In short I love it!

If you fancy a chest rig you need look no further than Kennedy Nylon Designs. Some of the best work I have ever seen in that market. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kennedy-Nylon-Designs/154032604784809?ref=ts&fref=ts

We are house shopping right now and the market is CRAZY hot from the seller's side.  From all that we have been looking at I'd say your estimate is pretty close for those items.  Honestly, most of the homes we have seen have not had much work put into them; some have been downright filthy in regards to carpet and overall cleanliness.  Ask your realtor for their opinion but I would probably hold off on doing the work unless the condition of the carpet, walls, and yard are so offputting that it won't show well.  Instead I would offer to pay some closing costs as an allowance for the buyer to get done what they want to get done.  You never know the buyer might be a DIY'er and could get the stuff done a lot cheaper than you subbing it out.  Also, two people rarely agree on style so a particular carpet that you choose may really turn off a potential buyer, etc.

From CNN http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/19/us/charleston-church-shooting-suspect/  

Read somewhere, fox maybe, that he used a .45 pistol that he was given on his 21st b-day by a family member.

I would think it is most likely just the firing pin.  You would need to compare against another European/Comm Block one though to be sure.  Just going to state the obvious though that if the rifle is as new as you say then it should probably go back for warranty repair.

This is the article you are referring to: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/06/03/how-many-rounds-can-an-ak-fire-before-it-breaks-down/

Will give them a try next time we are up that way.  Thanks for the suggestion!  "Good" dining can be surprisingly hard to find in that area.

Sorry but no way @ $750 w/ no side rail.  Factory built wasr's are still the way to go at this point for a full size rifle.  With Cugir, Zastava, Molot, and Century all fielding better product(arguably in some cases) for lower prices I expect them to have a hard time competing once the "new" wears off.  Add on top of that the fact that Arsenal's can be had for a couple of bills more with all the bells and whistles.

I have been using the Samsung gear fit for about a year and really like it.

I've been keeping tabs on this one. Like the concept and definitely seems to hold up to shotgun usage. https://seeallopensight.com/

Wow, new trailer looks great!!

Holy crap - BB8 droid is not CGI.  Couldn't hardly believe it when it rolled out on stage.

Volk is doing it correctly with a shortened receiver, mp5 mags, etc. They are doing a glock mag well version as well along with a conversion kit for existing M85/M92 PAP pistols.

Got wind of another builder trying to make a 9mm production gun outside of Atlantic's operation.  Pics on their FB page look like they have the right idea. Volk Armament: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007187412291&hc_location=ufi

The minute they(Atlantic) started spewing all of the crap about all of the custom work that had to be put in to engineer this AK I knew it was going to be a turd.  The Russians have been utilizing pistol caliber AK's for a LONG time and they didn't have to do any of that crap.  Since it is blowback all you really need is proper profile 9mm barrel and the ability to rig up a mag adapter.  I've seen several people/hobbyists do this in their garages with just the regular AK building tools.

It will be a nice one but I'm afraid it will be too rich for my blood.  The Colt stick mags and a few other differences kinda kills the aesthetics for me too.  I'm sure it will run like a top though being a Definitive Arms product.

I predict the finale will be the death of Pete and the battle with the DC Scavengers/Wolves which will set up a very nice series of cliffhangers for the next season.

Same here!  Normally not a fan of the zombie stuff but this turned out really good!

If you relegate the channel to ONLY doing local stuff you will have a channel with very little content that is only watched by the likes of us.  If you have a channel with a ton of content that appeals to the masses then the sky is the limit.  Especially when you start diving into the different generations/versions of certain firearms and mods that can be done to them.  The amount of knowledge, experience, and personally owned/used products in our user base is staggering.  Most successful channels have only newer firearms/gear being pushed to them by a handful of sponsors.  I feel like our channel has the opportunity to really go much further beyond that since we aren't beholden to any sort of contract with a vendor, etc and have a much more wide pool of resources at our disposal.

Also, there is something to be said for having a one-stop-shop channel for the large potential product reviews that our user base could provide.  Even the large channels that are being fed products by the large distributors or importers can't cover everything or a large enough product base.  Definitely think there should be a standardized format ironed out/communicated to the users and all videos reviewed for quality and content before being uploaded to the channel.  

No receivers nor barrels yet that I know of.  Also the kits are only in "good" condition with some pretty substantial wear according to the ad.  It looks cool but also the Cetme "L" had more than its fair share of problems while it was being issued.  Unless you're a Cetme collector I'd pass on this lot.  Just my two cents tho.

Last year after the birth of my son I decided that I was not happy with the way I felt and looked as a result of putting on weight over the course of nearly 10 years.  So I decided I was going to get serious about losing weight correctly.  I refuse to "diet" but am passionate about portion control and cooking nearly all meals at home.  I have "worked out" before with trainers, etc. but it just never took.  I decided that after a bit of research that I just needed to focus on cardio to drop the extra pounds to the point where I could include some arm and ab workouts a bit more easily.  Well after a year I had my final weigh-in yesterday and I've lost 30 pounds and 2 pant sizes; from a 42 to 38.  I think I will continue this resolution for next year and see if I can't get another 30 pounds to go away and maybe hit a size 36.
