"Conditional Proceed" usually happen when TICS shows a denial qualifier that doesn't have a clear resolution or disposition. Since by law they have to give a response within 15 days they will give the "Conditional proceed" to meet the requirements of the law while covering their legal butts.     The FFL can transfer on a "conditional", but assumes all legal liability in the transfer. I don't know of any brick and mortar or reputable dealers that will assume full legal liability for someone they don't know really, really, really well. Personal, I can't blame them. Risking their FFL and a possible sting in the federal pen on a felony isn't worth the risk.   If it has been longer than 30 days, you will have to do another TICS check to appeal. Essentially start the whole process over. After 30 days the initial transaction is legally dead.   The only way I know someone has gotten any information about their denial is to go to the TBI in person and supply all supporting identity information they request. They will not tell the FFL, customer, or anyone else anything over the phone or electronically due to privacy laws.

You have and astigmatism. I really like the Bushnell TRS-25. Great little optic for the money.

Assault rifles are full automatic/burst and can not be converted to either post sale unless it was registered or uses a registered "lighting link" made and registered prior to 1986.   That being said "Assault rifle" is the new boogey term that has replaced "Glock" and "AK-47" as the generic fear term for guns used in media and by politicians.   They also said nearly 50 guns were taken at a loss of $15K. That averages out to around $330 per gun. I think it is yet another example of not fact checking their terms and info.

It's like gas prices. THey may spike and then go down but they never go back to where they were before the spike. Add to that that raw materials and gas prices continue to rise and the cost of ammo will follow those regardless of the momentary spikes.   In short, it won't go back to where it was.

Haha, auto correct. Missed that one, but it may fit. I may no judgment calls on that one.

Well, we should start with actual punishment. Since what we have is neither a deterrent or punishment for many criminals then the rest of the argument is mute.

Seeing how I didn't watch the game or really care, I think FSU should quietly take their Auburn style win and go back to the state of Florida and the ACC happy that they squeaked by the SEC's 2nd or 3rd best team.   BTW - I think I have just seen the sorest winner and looser in a better match up than the FSU/Auburn game.

Sarco also has a lot of stuff that is hard to find elsewhere.

Reliability? It's an AK. I don't think Krebs can really add anything to the platform that the WASR doesn't already do.

The Yugo wood is very nice for an AK. It's heavy but very nice. I really don't care for the synthetic on the Yugo's, aesthetically speaking.

Yes, yes, and yes. Avoid IO unless you see it in person and know what issues to look for. Pick up the Yugo and don't look back.

You sure you didn't hit the NV button? Easy to do and you will get what you are describing.  If not call Vortex and they will make it right. Great customer service.

You need to. I have put them on every AK I've had and several other peoples and it works wonders. You get a proper cheek weld, a 4" longer sight radius than a standard AR, and the ability to mount an optic/red dot/holographic.   Steelharp was a little unsure till we got his hooked up. Now he's sold!

IMHO an AK in 5.56 is a marriage of all the weak points of both systems and slams them together. 5.45 is ok but it really needs to be a 7.62x39. Keep the 5.56 in the AR.

From the same people. Says it compliments the angles that the stock rotates at. Just exactly how does this eject shells?

In 7.62x39 a 8.5" barrel is no different than a 16" as far as what is needed in twist rate etc. You may have to make some adjustments to the gas system but the barrel rifling is the easy part. Cut one down or buy one of the Yugo m92 barrels to make it work. Or you can just buy a n M92 and reconfigure it or leave it 1.5" longer. Which is what I would do.

Marbles tang sights are really nice and windage adjustable. Skinner makes a very nice peep that fits in the dovetail.

That I can agree with you on.

Haha, we've had similar discussions before. Liberal is a descriptive term for a particular world view that conveys context without having to write an essay to establish a contrast. ;) Not necessarily intended as an insult towards you.   That being said the notion that Mandela brought peace is not even close to reality. I have friends who live on the outlays of South Africa and family that have traveled in the area extensively and that reality coincides with what my research, own time in Africa, and many other observers have opined.   As I have said before I think Mandela genuinely believed in what he was doing and had the best of intentions but that does not absolve him from the consequences of his choices. Just because he did not make it as bad as it could have been doesn't mean he isn't responsible for the genocides that continue after over 20 years of his government. He also didn't stop what was/is going on.   It's kinda like defending Hitler because he didn't kill as many people as he could have and applauding his restraint.

No your intent was clear as was mine. Not really sure what Nelson Mandela and South Africa has to do with America's imperfections. This was a discussion of South Africa and Nelson Mandela. How that turns into an American problem is beyond me but then again that is what liberals do. When they can't defend their hero's or position on the sole basis of their merits, they start making the equivalency arguments and turn the discussion about someone or something else.   Nelson Mandela and South Africa's issues are one of the truly few instances where the situation is as autonomous as it could be on the world stage.

D&T had them as well as the Slide fire versions.

so the rampant genocide that has been going on across South Africa and nearly every neighbouring country since the revolution is the peace you speak of? Are you reading the links? liberals are great. the results and reality don't matter as long as the intention feels "right". I also like how liberals have no problem with universals when they speak of America's faults, yet rail at the idea that their hero's are accountable for the actions of people following their ideology. Very interesting indeed.

Well aren't you a Daisy. It's really sad that this is perceived as truth. Over simplifying out of context history and reassembling it to reflect ones ideology is exactly what has made South Africa the hell hole it has become.

The situation is indeed a complex one, but I still fail to see why the west is so enamored by Nelson Madela. He had absolutely zero impact on any aspect of world events aside from South Africa and yet he is hailed as a world leader who made great strides for all of society. While there are many issues in South Africa and very very few of them are good the only thing he did was bring chaos and destabilize and entire region of Africa while bringing nothing positive outside of ending apartheid. In fact the turmoil and ethnic cleansings that are going on all around South Africa and in South Africa itself are a direct result of a well intentioned Marxist ideologue.    While I truly believe Mandela was genuine in his intentions and his motives, South Africa is a prime example of what a well intentioned bleeding heart gets you - Chaos and bloodshed on historic levels.

CDNN has the Bulgarian synthetic mags that are metal reinforced. Cost twice as much but $14 still isn't bad.http://www.cdnninvestments.com/ak7630slmosy.html
