  1. Tower, that sounds really nice. Is there any way at some point you could take a picture of the view up there and post it for those of us who weren't able to make it? Thanks!
  2. This used to be an HTML how-to guide hosted by the Maryland AR15 Shooters site but the document was missing the last time I tried to search for it. So I revived a copy that I had saved, cleaned it up in MS Word and then saved it back off as an Adobe PDF file. You can download it directly from this post. Summary: Improved Battlesight Zero.pdf
  3. You should have given him directions to East Side.
  4. There was a recent thread about this on M4C and someone referenced a similar thread on barfcom. Based on everything I read, I would spend the extra and go with the TacSol upper hands down. I have no issues with my Spike's lower but TacSol is well established in the .22LR world and their customer service is reported as being top, top notch.
  5. I've run the stock polymer furniture on my Remington 7600 since the day I bought it. Have had no need to replace it for accuracy's sake and have taken plenty of deer and a handful of coyotes with it.
  6. Yeah, we really like him. The two Bostons are really low maintenance and together maybe equal the vet requirements of one bigger dog. That's the only saving grace for us. Hopefully Max won't need a whole lot of Vet attention other than the normal annual checkups and such.
  7. Well Max is back at work with me again today. It appears that he caught tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) while he was at the shelter. It's not uncommon at all for this to happen. Lots of sneezing, lots of coughing. They put him on an antibiotic but two of the side effects of it are that he is extremely thirsty and extremely sleepy. So he'll probably spend most of the day passed out on the floor with his water bowl in front of him but need bathroom breaks during the times when he is awake. Poor little monkey.
  8. We had one of their RSO's sign up here in the early days of the forum and he didn't last very long with us. Quite a few people, myself included, tore into him about some of the same things you guys are saying. Just ask HunterH... people become RSO's because they are power mad! (just kidding, Hunter)
  9. Tasteless. But I admit that the line "Bad polar bear!" made me laugh.
  10. I was just sitting here thinking about The Todd from Scrubs. "The Biden appreciates hot regardless of gender".
  11. Yeah but you've mispronounced "goober" in your user title. Goober Insurer. See?
  12. Anyone else notice the similarities between Biden and the evil Count Olaf in Lemony Snicket?
  13. Let's use this thread as an AAR for the Biden / Palin VP candidate debate. I'll try to clean the puke out of my shoes before we start.
  14. Haha... I couldn't stand it anymore so I called them just a moment ago. APPROVED!!!! In fact, it was approved just today. She said that it should go out in the mail either today or tomorrow and that I might see it as early as Saturday. Can't wait.
  15. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't come in yet this week but there's still three more days. The trend looked like I would see it during the first week of October. Guess we'll see.
  16. There's nothing against it in the rules, so I'd say go right on ahead. The only mention alcoholic beverages as being forbidden.
  17. I figured you would enjoy the mention of the Tavor.
  18. Red emphasis = mine. It appears that an alien here has a legal avenue to own a firearm. But I would contact the BATFE branch office nearest you and ask for written clarification. Despite common assumptions to the contrary, the BATFE agents that I have had the pleasure of interacting with have all been very helpful and cordial. Just be sure that you get a written statement that it is permissible for you to own a handgun. Verbal statements aren't worth the air dispelled to make them. Good luck
  19. Taken from elsewhere.... Acutally, it never really left... Back in 1990-91, KBI introduced the Jericho 041 pistol to the US market. It was a joint venture with Tanfoglio of Italy and IMI (Uzi fame) of Tel Aviv. The chief attraction of the gun (kit actually) was the interchangeability of the 9mm para round with the .41AE (Action Express). We sold it in a kit that included the 9mm pistol, a .41AE spare barrel and recoil spring/guide stem, 4 hi-cap mags (2-9mm and 2-41AE) 50 rounds of Israeli made 9mm and 50 rounds of 41AE, a Rig cleaning kit with brushes for both calibers, all packed in a blow molded carrying case. To make a long story short, the .41AE was DOA as we finally got it to market at the same time that Federal and S&W announced the .40S&W. The "not invented here" syndrome doomed the 41AE from the start and soon after we were left selling "just another" hi-cap CZ-type 9mm pistol. The quality was excellent, the design followed the lines of the famous Desert Eagle and lent itself to perfect balance. It also had a unique backstrap design that some equate with the Browining Hi-Power as being the two most ergonomically designed grips to be found on any pistol available in the market. It naturally fits just about any sized hand, large or small, skinny or fat. Unfortunately for us at the time, IMI was not happy with our early sales volume (or so we were told). I always believed that Magnum wanted the line and pushed IMI to take it away from KBI and give it to them. In the middle of the SHOT Show during that second year of our trying to get it started, a representative from IMI came to our booth and told us they were taking Jericho away form us and giving it to MRI. Why am I telling you this story now??? Fast forward almost 20 years later and lo and behold, KBI is pleased to announce that effective January 1st 2009, KBI will be bringing the Jericho pistol back to the US market. MRI is moving the Desert Eagle production to the US and in the process they lost the distribution of the Baby Eagle. KBI was there to pick it up and even though I am emotionally tied to the line, I think there is a home for this pistol in the US market under the Jericho brand, imported and distributed by KBI. These days it is a full line consisting of 3 sizes and 3 calibers, 9mm, 40S&W and .45ACP; and available in both polymer and steel frames. Recently MRI introduced the Baby Eagle II which added a picatinnly light/laser rail and improved LPA/Novak style sights. Meprolight tritium sights will also be an option. My question to you guys is pretty basic. What do you think of this line? At its heart it is a CZ-75 DA pistol, though MRI sold a version with a slide mounted safety/decocker. We are considering offering it in the original CZ system only, i.e. with a frame mounted saftey that can be carried cocked and locked. You can see more of the line here at Israel-Weapon.com. A full blown (Re)introduction will take place at the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando in January. In the meantime, as we like to do, we would appreciate all your feeback, pros and cons, as we still have time to tweak the line before finalizing all specs for production. Let us know what you really think. We realize it is not a Glock or an XD, but is there still a home in the US market for this gun? And, of course one of the real motivations behind our interest in the Jericho, is our extreme interest in the Tavor Bullpup rifle now in use by the IDF and a few armies and special forces around the world. What do you guys think of the Tavor? Will the US military ever really consider a bullpup design? The Tavor is something very special. You can learn more about it here: Tavor Link and the really cool Micro-Tavor. What do you think? Don't hold back guys...tell us how you really feel...Kinda makes a hell of an addition to Charles Daly Defense don't you think? We look forward to hearing from you.

  20. That is freaking awesome.
  21. In before someone comments on the haphazard way those weapons were stacked in the truck.
  22. They do not allow any human silhouette targets so the IDPA target likely will not be permitted. I ran into this the last time I shot there.
  23. BB gun Ruger 10/22 rifle 1911 Glock 9mm AR15
  24. We've got two of those. Ginger, the one that looks the most like Maggie, will play tug of war with you until you surrender. If you tied a rope to a tree, she would tug until the tree gave up. Seriously. And yeah, she can pull me around when we play tug. It's amazing what these little f'kers are capable of. We had to bring the Doberman in to break the two of them of their "small dog syndrome". Nothing stops the foolishness like 90lbs of woof.
