Can't believe she has three kids.  I mean, either they're triplets or someone had sex with her three times.   http://hollykorbey.com/bio/

  Or... by conspiracy.  :stare:

  The would be fools not to release a carbine right now, especially if they have been building up stockpiles of them.  Imagine being the only manufacturer with all the rifles anyone would care to buy, ready to ship.  You couldn't walk into your local gun store right now without seeing Glock carbines and not much else on the wall.  It would overnight become the ubiquitous modern carbine by sheer fact of being the only one available.   You just can't buy popularity like that.

Actually a little digging resulted in the claim that they are releasing what is essentially a Model 36 slide on a Model 30 frame.  Full size, slim frame .45ACP.  10+1 capacity.   If that's it, I'm probably going to die from yawning.

My guess is that they're finally getting off their Austrian butts and producing a carbine / modern sporting rifle / alternative to the AR-15 platform.

None of the Tri-Star / HCA hospitals block 2A related sites yet.  Try using one of those.  ;)

  You need to upload it again.  The forum doesn't think you have an avatar.

  That might be fixed now.

Don't go and jinx us, guys... :shhh:

Thanks for the kind words.  Our Trading Post is successful because of the members.  By and large we have the best bunch of folks on the Internet right here, and we've only in rare occasions had to crack down on someone for a bad deal in the Trading Post.   You're in good company with these folks.

  You've got more posts here than I do.  The server knows who's important!

I was eyeballing a R1 Enhanced recently at a local shop.  They're nice!  The only thing I'd be tempted to do to one of them would be to replace the thumb safety with an ambidextrous version, install a set of flat-bottom VZ Operator grips and add a magazine well.  With those things done, it'd be about perfect for a working 1911.

  We're already aware of OhShoot.  There's nothing we can do about him.  :)

Guys... I admire the dedication and tenacity, but we're still working on this behind the scenes and it's nowhere near ready or performing like it should yet.   Until you see an "all clear" post from me, you're going to experience all sorts of weird crap and there's no reason to report any of it.  We know it's happening.

    No doubt.  Total badassery.

I've been known to use the BFH on more than one occasion.  :)   I think this particular issue is related to a security patch that IPB released back on Dec 27th.  I've raised the issue with them and will be following up as soon as they address it.

Yeah... apparently our nightly backup job crashed last night and took the database offline.   I'm looking into why that happened.

Regarding 5.56 AR pistols, has the full powder charge really burned in the 7-9" or so that the barrel provides?  I know the 300 BLK charge is optimized to burn completely in a short barrel which would seem to make it a far better choice for small-ish AR builds.

  That's been my experience as well.  And as I've said before, my wife says my general demeanor tends to perpetually border on "GFY" so I guess most folks don't want to risk smarting off to me in line at stores.

TMF, you have a PM inbound.  :lol:

Costa had a very short and to the point post this morning on Facebook.   http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=510842915614285&set=a.246354765396436.65474.229735767058336&type=1

Warning... video not safe for work, family, children, delicate ears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2BjA7B_mpg :lol: First thing that came to my mind. Anyone else?
