  1. maybe the barret rec7? 6.8 is the logical choice if they change calibers
  2. no kidding how the hell is someone going to make a 7.62x54R rifle in select fire weighing less than an m16 when they cant make a 7.62x51 rifle in the same configuration? i bet the military has more 762nato ammo than they do 762x54r ammo laying around. besides, in reality, the military is looking for a cartridge with more knock-down power than 556 but not the recoil or weight of 762. so ive heard. and that is IF they ever replace the m4/m16
  3. ding, ding, ding! this is not a gun nut quiz, more about ammo than anything. bout the only ones that should have been there IMO were the maker of 44mag and pre 64 winchester, rest did not belong. heaven help you if you are under 30 years old and dont know about tv shows or movies in the 50s and 60s that had guns in them
  4. i was wondering what the heck was going on and went back and looked and the post was edited so that is what threw me off
  5. actually now they make a single shot bolt action .50BMG upper for the AR-15 receiver, available with up to 30" barrels

    Ruger Mark 3

    that is the one downside to it, complicated tear down. and difficult reassembly
  7. anybody here know anything about the .375Chey-Tac? from what i can find out, its a .408 casing with a .375 bullet. with the right bullet, its supposed to be capable of approx 2800 yards kill shot. on a sniper forum that i was reading on, its supposed to be the hottest thing going right now as far as anti-personnel, extreme long range rounds go.
  8. i order pizza so much from papa johns that today they called me asking if i wanted to order a pizza!
  9. why do they want albino deer? albinism is considered a mutation, and quite rare compared to the normal population.
  10. the probability of that is very high
  11. i would call the tech line if no one else comes up with anything
  12. cant say i have heard of anything like that. im guessing that you will have to do with a standard armored vest and a mesh tactical vest with molle attachments, and add a drop-leg holster for sidearm
  13. hahahaha! thats great!
  14. they choose 338 over .408 or .50 because 50 is primarily a anti-material and .408 is overkill in most cases. but the big thing is that a 338 is a much smaller and lighter rifle in most cases than a 408 or 50.
  15. probably because store policy says to lock it up at all times and some just dont do it either because they have been there longer and know when they can get by without locking it up or they just dont care because it would be aggravating to have to unlock the cabinet every time to get ammo. at manchester walmart if someone is in the sporting goods (good luck) most of the times the big ring of keys is hanging in the ammo cabinet lock, sometimes the door is even setting open.
  16. if you are just curious, carefully take apart the switch you took out and look at it and see what does what, lol
  17. there are times when it is perfectly acceptable to kill a fly with a sledgehammer.
  18. there are sometimes electricity cant be explained. honestly i dont know what is inside a single pole switch, but i know all it does is connect the two wires together that are hooked into it. something is probably loose inside the switch and causing it to act erratically
  19. if this is true, it points towards the switch being faulty, internally. the regular switch is only like 50 cents and the spec grade is less than a couple of dollars, not sure how much though. i usually dont buy them the contractor does. residential grade : $0.65 http://www.dale-electric.com/detail?itemnumber=1451-2W commercial grade : $1.85 http://www.dale-electric.com/detail?itemnumber=CS115-2W
  20. if i were you i would change the switch first. it is certaintly the easiest and cheapest. use a high quality switch like a leviton brand. if this is a switch that is used very frequently, get a spec grade if you can, they are more expensive but are much tougher and more durable, and they are stiffer. if the 3rd light truly is the third ligh in the series, it is NOT the wiring. however, it sounds the me like there is a problem in the lights. look at the bulbs if the ends are dark, they are most likely almost shot. it could also be the ballast if the bulbs are good. short version: do in order until it is fixed replace switch replace bulbs replace ballasts btw, i am an residential electrician when im not on here
  21. i really like the looks and reputation of them but beyond that i know nothing about them. i know you can only carry a knife that is 4" or less in blade length but other than that, i have never heard of any other restrictions concerning size
  22. just a friendly FYI but what you are looking for is called BUIS (back up iron sights), might help you find what you are looking for

    Sig question

    yep, think of it as glock sizes, the P226 = G17, P229 = G19, P239 = G26
