I have a little Logitech bluetooth travel mouse for my laptop and its performance is sketchy to say the least. This MX Revolution is absolutely nothing like it, in a very good way. It does look like a Braun shaver when it's sitting in the charging cradle!

Too bad your last name isn't Naifeh. You'd have it by now.

It takes a lot to make me want to talk shop about computer gear anymore, but this one has to be mentioned. Last week one of our graphics artists (at work) had their Mac's mouse croak on them, so I gave them my Logitech MX510 mouse and took their mostly dead mouse and made do with it for a few days until a replacement arrived. I tend to use my laptop at work more than my desktop anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Yesterday the replacement arrived and I think I'll be keeping it at my desk instead of forwarding it to the user. They have a nice MX510 now. The replacement is a Logitech MX Revolution cordless mouse and this thing freaking rocks. It uses a docking station to charge itself up and the LiION battery lasts for about 15 days of average use according to the manual and the power meter software. The wireless receiver is a little USB dongle that I have plugged into a USB port on the back side of my Dell 24" widescreen LCD. Yeah, life at work is rough. The mouse has a very nice heft to it thanks to the battery. I love the added weight. It feels like you're moving something sturdy and precise around on the desktop rather than just gripping a light, flimsy piece of plastic. It's got a myriad of programmable buttons for page movement, application control, etc. Four way scroll wheel as a middle button, and a two-way scroll wheel at your thumb. I'm already seeing a lot of uses for the additional scroller. Nice! At $70-90 depending on where you shop, it's not a cheap item. But it's worth the money from what I have experienced so far. I'll probably pick one up for the desktop computer at home too.

Verbal is joking, albeit it's not funny to anyone who wasn't aware of what was going on out of the public eye ... more or less. I would say that 99% of the people who patronize Rabbi's store will be 100% oblivious to and not really care to hear about the problems that we've had with him here as a Vendor and member of TGO. A thread has been posted about it on our Feedback and Support forum. If you've had enjoyable transactions with him, then that's really all that likely matters to you as a consumer.

We have refrained from associating with any one "fraternal" organization and will continue to do so. As has been suggested, you can always add an NRA item to your signature line if you feel inclined.

Very nice. How's the recoil feel in the sub-compact?

I wouldn't bother with the one that allows you to swivel it then.

It depends on what you're wanting to do with the rifle.

I've only used Harris bipods in the past and always found them to be well built and reliable. I've seen cheaper knock-offs but tend to like to pay and cry just once rather than go cheap and have to pay and cry again.

So you guys are carrying the USP 40 over there? Cool.

RSVP for 2 here.

Sweeeet. Third firing position, FTW!

That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was hoping that I could use some non-chlorinated parts cleaner to spray the parts down and allow them to drip dry rather than risk touching the plastics while they might be somewhat softened by the acetone. Would this stand a decent chance of working?

Verbal checked into this back in Kentucky and was told by a local shop that they could but that they would have to do it "free hand" ... which sort of scares me. Do you know of anyone in Tennessee, or more precisely in middle TN, that would do this and do it with the lower locked into a fixture and engraved a little more precisely?

Tasty! Nice choice of Kimber also.

I will have to double check. It may be that you're presently 9 posts short of the forum software automatically bumping you to "TGO Member" status and removing the freshman designation.

Flitz metal polish and a felt wheel in a Dremel work very well for polishing feed ramps. I did that to all of my XDs and M&Ps in the past and will likely do it soon to our new M&P 9L. It won't remove metal (per se) but it does clean the ramps up nicely.

I've got the pink Duracoat supplies at the house but I'd love to hear any prep or equipment recommendations that you might care to share for successfully painting the plastics. That looks great, btw. Exactly what I had in mind.

Pink's the new Black.

BCG and barrel are running $430-450 depending on reseller. The rest of it's pretty much cookie cutter AR15.

I had the distinct pleasure of introducing my lovely wife to the world of firearms and it's turned out that not only is she a great shot and a fast learner but also easy to shop for. Basically the rules for success are (1.) it has to be a badass weapon and (2.) it has to incorporate the color pink in it somewhere. When I picked up the lower receiver for my AR15 short barrel rifle project, I bought a second receiver to be kept non-NFA. While it may eventually have a 5.56mm upper built for it as well, more immediately I am going to use it to build a .22LR AR15 weapon platform. This rifle will use a lot of parts I already have handy as well as a few things that we'll have to order. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the year.

It sounds like my wife may receive hers sometime around the middle of October if this trend is any indication. We finalized her HCP application on June 10th. Four months to approve and issue is pretty damn pathetic given how fast our good friend and ardent 2nd Amendment Rights supporter Jimmy Naifeh got his.

Rabbi's stance the last time I asked him about this was that he wouldn't transfer in a firearm that he could sell you himself. His rates were also higher than anyone else that I had checked with at the time. He may have changed both of these things since then, so the best thing do to is just call him and ask for the Tungsten Special. He'll probably give you a great price just to spite me, which works out perfectly for you and keeps me on his mind. www.eastsidegunshop.com has the phone number. Ask about the waffles and chicken special while you've got him on the phone. Bellshire Hardware reportedly has good pricing on inbound FFL transfers for the Nashville area. Guns & Leather, On Target, Hero Gear and others are all pretty much in the same general ballpark and don't mind transferring in a weapon regardless if they have the same thing sitting in their showroom.
