Got most of them up today. Just had bad luck in the past waiting till after Thanksgiving. Usually the only time I get off afterwords, the weather just sucks ass.   :usa:

Good day to put up Christmas lights... (Do it or else!!!)

The Q&A :dirty:

Tempted, but I suck at these things.

There is so little capitalism left in this country that scalpers abuse what feedom is left in the market. Bad part is that those who patron scalpers for their "services" perpetual this nonsense even further. If demand is really as high as it is, I would expect the manufactures to either meet that demand with more supply or for them to raise prices to market equilibrium. Since this isn't happening on the manufacturer's side or even with the retailer for the most part, scalpers will do it for them.   Box limits set by the retailer is just a mechanism to curtail scalping, and from what I've seen, it isn't working.

I haven't tried it yet, and it's the closest range to my house. That's my favorite LGS.

  I think they have clear priorities. We just get to suffer for them.

Planning on building a rifle soon, so I won't have knife money for a while. It will be cool to see how this one turns out though.

  Black magic and pentagrams.

  Classy.   I do like the raptor charging handles. Nice product.

You won't catch me paying that much for a rail full of dickholes. Then again....it does come with a free raptor charging handle! :cool:   EDIT: I see that it's one seemless peice and not just a rail mounted up to an upper, so I give it extra props for that, still tooo much though, and I'll never use keymod anyways.

  Police State? NWO? One-World Government? :tinfoil:

Are you wanting a set of tritium buis? Or will any do?

No masters!

Does an under-the-pillow weapon count, or do I need to start a new thread?

TN Gun Country is my favorite LGS in Clarksville. Glad you had a good time there and picked up a nice new weapon.

I have a set. Fit and finish is exceptional, they are sharp, keep an edge, and are also ergonomic. I prefer them over any of the consumer grade knives I've used (since I don't have to buy them again): my concentration for my A.A.S. was culinary arts, so I've used quite a few different consumer grade and commercial grade brands. (Wustof, Henkels, etc.) You pay more for the finish and the domestic manufacturing, as well as their warranty. I didn't buy mine from a vendor, I bought them direct through the mail, and believe I saved some money on them that way (this was quite some time ago). I recommend going to a chef or restaurant supply store and looking at their commercial grade sets if you don't care about looks or warranties. There are a lot of great "commercial" grade knives that aren't too pretty (fugly as all hell to be honest) and lack the "feel" quality of Cutco, Henkels, etc. They're functionally equivalent and cost a fraction of high end consumer knives, and professionals use them on a daily basis at work.

Damn, I hate when that happens. Best bet is to go to the local retail store that has the best price.

  Maybe they were doing routine maintenance? Or they are just messing with you? Both entirely possible.

Have you checked ebay or amazon?

Had AT&T for almost five years. Zero problems. Been prepaid for about three of those.

Bullet magically materializes in the chamber and the cocks itself while cleaning. Happens quite often and is why cleaning is one of the most dangerous aspects of owning a weapon.     :rofl:
