Magiccarpetrides is a good dealer with a great rep. Here's not on much anymore but he is a member and can probable help you out.

Hey! Don't forget that HP still wants to come home, back to its starting place! I always keep an eye out for it. I miss that one above all others.[emoji22]

Ak's are front heavy as they are. Adding more weight is to the front is not my preferred method. Much of the reason I don't care for the Ultimak setup, as good as it is. The Renegade is as tough as it gets and it's light while dispersing heat very well. I'm a big fan. The center of weight issue is mainly with full sized Ak's. With the M92 the barrel is so short that the triangle stock will only help you. I've shot a bucnh of them in all sorts of configurations and an M92 with a stock is far better than without. Here is the review I did i the Renegade when they were still in beta http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/79291-manticore-m92-handguards/

Yeah, Sven is doing some great stuff. The Alpha won't fit the M92. The Renegade is what was made for the M92. You can also get one of the top cover mounts for an optic as well. I beta'd one for the Burris Fastfire and really liked it. However after I went with the TWS I went back to the basic top cover for the Renegade. Mainly to get weight centered.
-
I just went with the TWS top cover and added a Kel-Tec Peep sight. Took care of any issues and makes it far more useable. I also like the Manticore Handguards, Big fan!

Sort of. The Ontario Rat series is exactly the same as the Esee series. The ONLY difference is in the heat treating, which Esee does use a reportedly better proprietary company for that process. About the only objective test on that subject I've seen are somewhat inconclusive. The Esee fan boys will scream otherwise, but that is where all the noise comes from. I will also say that the fit and finish on my RAT is actually better than on my Esee. That being said the warranty and heat treating upgrade you get with the Esee does legitimize the price bump IMO.
-
I've got an Esee 4 and really like it. I also have a RAT5 and for the price I have no problem taking it over the Esee. That being said, I've always wanted a TOPS Tom Brown Tracker #1 or #4 for the purpose you mentioned.

Screws in the back aren't all that bad an idea. Not much flex back there to cause an issue. However, Toth Tool makes a rivet tool for bolt cutters that makes it real easy to rivet, especially the back end.
-
Keep in mind that some of what you are getting at IS being addressed for instate manufacturing. Colorado, I believe, was one of the first to say that no ATF tax stamp required for suppressors, etc. as long as they are made in state and reside in state. Taxes can only be enforced due to interstate commerce. Theoretically of course.

So if you stick to your position consistently, then you also blame the girl who was raped because she was dressed provocatively? People have been doing controversial art for a long time. In fact, several art exhibits have expressly tried to be provocative towards other religions. I don't recall shootings and attempted bombings as part of the discourse.

Any of you sold a house to a person with a VA loan?

This is truth. Our agent bumped our asking price up quite a bit from what I thought was the high end and we l still had 28 showings and multiple offers in roughly 4 days last week. Being in the low 100k, it moved quick. Still waiting on the inspection and all that good stuff, so we'll see how it goes. My agent told me inventory in starter homes is very low and demand is very high. From our multiple offers at asking price, I believe it. I was not expecting that situation. -
One note, the FEG HJK-9HP is an almost identical clone of the hp and all parts interchange. FEG ALSO made the HP9 (clone of the Browning DA9HP) and the FEG P9R which is what the Smith series you mentioned is designed after. My first handgun was a hjk-9hp and I had no idea how good a gun I had. I've had a lot of hi powers since, and I'll still grab a feg hp if the opportunity arises. It's a hp without the Browning markup our beautiful bluing.

Might as well carry a .380 with less recoil and size. 9mm needs velocity to work and 147g are generally only good for subsonic, SMG, and very hot loads. Combine that with a short barrel and you lose most of the benefits of the 9mm over the .380 while adding all the negatives (size, weight, recoil, etc.). The gun can handle it, but there is no reason for it and zero benefit. In a 9mm you want a balance of weight with speed. I generally like a 124g +p or standard load in a premium defensive round. The .45 mentality, where heavier is better, applies because it is not velocity dependant.

I am bit curious why so much identity is tied up in sexuality these days. It's a new phenomenon in case you didn't know. Makes me think it's largely disingenuous and much of it is concocted for attention and justification. Much like global warming/cooling/climate change.

One thing to note is that while it is not required to do a background check it report for in state resident person to person transfers, it is illegal to knowingly transfer a firearm to someone who is or is believed to be ineligible from owning a firearm.

If they do it like metro, they will put you in a sealed bus or bunker and throw a canister in there, so it's not as bad as having the spray directly on you.

I've grown fond of jam nuts for just this reason. Keep several on hand. I have some for your 5/8x24 if you need one. Just pm me.

I got behind one of those fellows yesterday in old hickory. It was actually a Mercury, so I guess it counted.

Need help keeping an eye out for something
Smith replied to Luke E.'s topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Dolomite is correct about needing an FFL if the gun is left overnight for business purposes. -
My first gun! Loved that thing and regret selling it. Keep in mind that you'll also have to refinish the gun after milling for the front sight.

I'd have to add Phil Keaggy. Acoustically, there aren't many better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3iSiij98VY and you can't get much more technically perfect playing than Eric Johnson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15eu7ar5EKM

Yes, they can audit at any time, but they can not take, reproduce, keep, or copy any information unless they have a warrant .... by law. They will tell you different, but it is illegal. Try to enforce that. Just ask Ares Armor. They can only check/audit for FFL clerical compliance

BY federal law they can not digitally document them. However, Reno was caught doing it. Supposedly they destroyed her "secret" records. :ugh:
