  1. I'm thinking it would be pretty labor intensive to verify that. Although I agree there are probably some that do that.
  2. Due to the slightly larger case of the 6.8 an aluminum or poly 5.56 mag body will bulge and deform the lips. The 6.8 mags are all stainless to prevent it. You can fit about 10 or so 6.8 rounds in a 5.56 mag, but will have feed issues and ruin your mag eventually.

    Microtech STG?

    rat works has the E4 and Buds has the best deals on the basic STG. The rat works STG comes with 5 mags for $1082.
  4. These came out a long time ago and were widely criticized on many fronts. Everyone I asked that had one had either sold it or gave it away.
  5. Your both saying the same thing from different ends. Yes their tax burden is passed on to us through pricing. so in essence it is not a tax on corporations/business but rather a backdoor way of taxing the American people. They know this. Also I think one needs to clarify corporation before this argument can make sense. There are millions of 10 and fewer employee corporations, ala LLC.
  6. Here is the best price. http://swfa.com/images/sfrdar15.jpg
  7. The Strikefire gets excellent reviews and has a lifetime no questions asked warranty. Great for everything short of the sandbox, but that's a whole nother world anyway. http://swfa.com/Vortex-StrikeFire-Red-Dot-Sights-C1462.aspx The Konus Pro Atomic (Aimpoint micro clone) also gets excellent reviews and you can get it under $100 from here. 7247K-KONUS RED DOT SIGHT PRO ATOMIC

    Microtech STG?

    So, all this bullpup talking has brought back the old idea I had of wanting one of these. The fact they have come WAY down in price actually makes it feasible. So, question is..... what are the benefits of spending the extra $300 to get the E4 model (takes AR mags) as opposed to the cheaper STG model? The Steyr/STG mags aren't all that expensive to begin with. Also a consideration is that I definitely want to get the 6.8 conversion when available and price comes down. I' thinking that in that case the E4 might be worth it. Also I am not a mag horder, 5-6 work for me. Give me your thoughts.
  9. Come on this is good. If this was the end of politics then Standard Oil (Rockerfeller) and Andrew Carnegie's families would be Kings by now. There was a time when corporate America ran the country it is not that way anymore. While I have lost much faith in the American people, they eventually wake up when pushed far enough. Besides this is not new or ingenious. The lib corps have been funneling money through back channels anyway, PACs ect. McCain/Feingold was mostly a way to limit the NRA anyway. Why not bring it out where we can actually see what's happening instead of letting them do it behind closed doors and then speculating.
  10. If i'm standing next to a guy in Iraq fresh out of boot I'm not so sure I want him thinking about what he feels like doing.
  11. I think you missed the point and my sarcasm. THEY are the ones who decry Fox as being non journalistic because of bias while touting their own sacredness as unbiased journalist ala Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, ............ I agree everyone has a bias. The idea that they are pure while everyone else is tainted hypocrites is humorous and ironic to me. We need to go back to the days where a paper named the "Democrat ..." or the "Republic ...." actually told you the truth.
  12. Really the only "progressive" voice in mainstream media? CNN, MSNBC........ I thought media/journalism was supposed to be independent and unbiased. Not agenda and philosophy driven? All in all I find it humorous that they don't get it and in the end capitalism put them in their place. No wonder they hate capitalism. Socialism is for those who can't and are jealous of those who can.
  13. The only real detractors will say is cost, which has been fixed thank to SSA new plinking ammo, and range. The 300 yrd range is about the only thing people can knock the 6.8 for. However, if you are target shooting over 300 yrds you've just defeated the purpose of the 6.8 and entered into the realm of wildcats and specialty stuff. The 6.8 is designed for combat out of short barrels and to max out the balance of effectiveness, capacity, weight, and accuracy.
  14. I think it is appropriate given you screen name.
  15. ???? only 156 compared to the 516 reported in TN by the OP. Just trying to clarify. BTW one is too many.
  16. That is probably all time. In 2006 there were only 156 nationally on duty deaths.
  17. Here is from another post I did that shows it nationally based on the last census 2006.
  18. She made the call!
  19. Dang just changed Brown 53%-46%
  20. 60% in. Brown 52% - 47% Boston Herald.
  21. You don't have to have a guard liscnese but you will still have to have a HCP to carry a handgun. This allows you to carry where alcohol is served if OK'd by the owner and under his employment. My brother owns a restraunt and we have had this clarified by LE. Maybe not the best source, but they would do the initial arresting.
  22. It doesn't matter the caliber just the configuration. With a HCP permit you can carry it in the vehicle un-chambered like any rifle. Otherwise it is just like the old law. Unloaded and not easily accessible, ie mag in glove box, carbine in the trunk.
  23. The restaurants and shops are all separate identities and are sectioned off making their own "space". I carry in there often, but I don't go to the restaurants. It is no different than a mall where the whole mall can post or each store can post.
  24. My experience with CZ is you have to specifically ask them for a return label. Otherwise you assume the cost. BTW the guys who answer the phones are NOT smiths and sometimes over step their authority and knowledge trying to be helpful. However, I always got to talk to someone who was at least trying to be helpful and they are fast. Two thumbs up!
  25. Um, she is responsible for maintaining the structure and regular maintenance unless you agreed otherwise. Let her take it to court and then counter. It would be an easy victory especially if there are unfixed leaks. Of course this assume you didn't do any intentional damage.
