  1. A couple Christmas presents. 95 American Standard Strat. New pickups, picguard, and control's on the way. Gonna black it out. Already added Fender locking tuners. Line6 V60 & FBV Mk III Express. Way too many toys in this amp! Lots of fun though. I still want a Vox AC30!
  2. I've used the Burris Fastfire III on a Glock 19 MOS, and really like it. If I were super serious and had enough money to waste, I'd go with a RMR and leave it on.

    5.56 or .308

    You know what I think! But if you decide to part wit the Saiga, let me know!
  4. Just picked this up today. Always wanted a PRS and I got a great deal on this one. It's not American made, but it wasn't $4k either![emoji6] Wish I had the Epiphone Sheraton II and the '86 Les Paul I had when I thought I was a musician. Sold them 18 years ago to fund my wife's wedding ring. Don't regret it one bit, but I sure liked those guitars. Now I play in church on Sunday's and that's about it.
  5. Well, I figuered if Hillary won I could make a small fortune and if Trump won, everyone in my family would be well armed. Everyone is now well armed. I do need more AK's. Maybe Trump can get that door opened back up. A $700 WASR is just crazy. I miss converting Saiga's for dirt cheap.
  6. So, now that Trump will be president, what am I going to do with all these extra AR's and receivers? How low well they go? [emoji6]

    Cubs!

    Well I'm a life long cubs fan, and I gave up hope after game four. I won't get excited again till after they win a game six. Then it'll be back to near heart attack status.
  8. Click on the link to the pictures and it shows what that site is selling them for. Seems to vary depending on gen and a few other details.
  9. Maybe it's the picture or the angle, but it looks like the lines of the frame, slide, and barrel don't line up properly. The bore axis looks like it is half in the slide, half in the frame.
  10. I personally don't know why anyone would pick a 17 over a 19. The 19 is just about the perfect size gun for carry or concealability. The trade off of two more rounds and less than 1/2 in. in sight radius isn't enough to cover the larger size. That slightly larger size is just enough to make the 17 exponentially harder to conceal carry.
  11. Just received a vintage Savage 340 30-30! Here's what makes it special. This is my grandfather's rifle he used to put food on his family and neighbors families tables in the rural Ozark mountains of northern Arkansas. My grandfather died at the age of 28 from what is believed to be an aneurysm, not too long after returning from Korea. My dad was only 5 years old and this rifle was one of the few possessions my grandfather had that my father was able to keep through the years, house fires, and normal life issues. My grandfather purchased the rifle through the only general store in the little town they lived in, probably from a Belknap catalog. I do have the catalog as well! Probably purchased sometime in late 1950 or early 1951. Which is pretty cool as well since the 340 came out in 1950. Also have the original box of ammo that my grandfather had at the time of his death with 4 shells left in the box! Gun isn't a high value gun but it's priceless to me. To hold in my hands the tool the man I never got to meet, used to feed his family. The gun my father used to kill his prized mounted 10 pointer the day I was born ... It doesn't get any better than that.
  12. Many reasons why I really like the Garrett Industries Silent Thunder holsters. Kydex shell with a leather lining. [emoji6]
  13. The AKT with a JTE Power trigger spring from Carolina Shooters Supply is about as good as it gets.
  14. Not a problem. They also wash in daylight. Green will work, but still washes pretty bad.
  15. Yep, and it's circular. However, disagreeing on "principal" and then arguing in that same "principal" is what Gary Larson built The Far Side on. Carry on repressing free speech, in defense of free speech, using free speech. [emoji6]
  16. This whole thing is upside down. Free speech isn't free of consequences, EXCEPT by the government. In real life, what you say has consequence. Kaepernick is free to say whatever he wants and everyone else is free to say whatever they want in response. There is no defense for Kaepernick necessary nor should there be condemnation for those who speak against him. Lecturing those who disagree with Kaepernick about free speech etc. is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black while the pot is filled with arrogant hypocrisy.
  17. Mainly because lasers are visible to everyone down range, expand size over range, are fairly unreliable, etc. Same reason putting a laser on a rifle is vastly inferior to an optic.
  18. I recently picked up a G19 MOS. Really like it for all the reasons mentioned before. Also, with the tall sights, you can work it either way. I'm running a Burris Fastfire III.
  19. I think you may be disappointed with that mount and optic. It sits everything a too high and the dust covers on the M92's aren't tight enough to really hold an optic. The weight of the SPARC will also shift the POI/POA on the factory dustcover. I highly recommend the TWS Dogleg or a gas tube mount like the SLR, or Ultimak with a micro-dot.
  20. Snap caps well solve your concern issues. A little more expensive but great alternative is something like the Laserlyte targeting system. It sounds expensive up front but factor in the cost off a couple range trips/ammo/etc. and it pays for itself pretty quickly. P plus you can have range time in your Lazy Boy!

  21. Ghost elite 3.5lb connector with the TCT. You will have to file a little on the connector, but it's [emoji106]
  22. I've always found the Ghost connectors to be great upgrades. Never needed to next step up like the Zev, but I've heard good things. IMO the Ghost type connectors are perfect for EDC/range guns. If you are going into competition then you may want something more like the Zev's.
  23. I only have one Rossi M92 and a Rossi 85 .38 spl. But I love the idea of the versatile .357 platform. I want another lever action. Here's my favorite! My dad engraved it and I've since added custom walnut hg and stock. Did a trigger/action job on it. Smooth as butter!
  24. I'm not going to fight the Bermuda. With the neighbors and golf course, it's no use. I just want to get rid of the thick blade stuff.
