Dude, when were you in 1/5? I was a Black Knight from 93-95! I cant tell you how many stupid ****ing parades I was in during those two years.... It seems like I was either in the field, or standing in front of Division HQ for a stupid parade....

Im sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family comfort during this tough time.

What kind of "Army Instructor" are you?

Welcome Specialist. Stay safe.

Wow, this thread is a blast from the past! (Berets still suck!)

Easy killer....Im not harassing you. My concern (contempt) is that offshore companies continue to knock off (actually STEAL) designs from American companies. This practice is part of what is wrong with this country and it sucks that people support this practice. Nice looking build.

I will be interesting to see how Magpul handles this. Im sure they have design and utility patents pending. I dont understand how you buy a knock off, when you can have the real thing for another 90 bucks. ** I just spoke with my buddy from Magpul and he said that the MP attorneys are already on this**

I guess im such an ammo snob that I assumed you were referring to new-man "surplus" type ammo. I have no idea how spam can stuff will run, as I see no need to dip THAT low in the ammo bucket. Junk corrosive ammo is .17 per round Wolf non-corrosive ammo is .22 per round I will pay the extra nickel.....

Yeah, I bought 10k rounds of that Wolf stuff and so far, so good.

LMAO.....are you serious?

Great builds and great refinishing.

I have an 11" full auto AR chambered in 5.45 and it runs like a champ. Ammo is dirt cheap, and 0-125 meters I could tell no difference in accuracy. * 25m zero targets were 5 rounds inside of a quarter.

I would be in on the 24th, but Hero-Gear has a 2 day range event on the 17/18th

I think you should ban yourself.....

All three of you guys have way too much time on your hands...... RIP Mars

Well put Eddie. RIP Misty. I have resisted commenting long enough, so let me throw a few opinions out there: 1. I think ANY positive press the firearms industry, and pro-gun community can earn is a step in the right direction. The fact that Bill was featured in a liberal/commie rag and they didnt try to blast him or gun rights is a great victory for us. So- Lets give credit where credit is due. NOW..... 2. Bill aka The Rabbi has a long history of stirring up trouble on TGO, other gun forums, and it seems that even the local Nashville listserv crowd has some pretty vocal members that seem to have a strong distaste for his "witty" opinions and banter. He has been banned from TGO, and a host of other webforums. Don't belive me? ask him. Im sure he would be proud to let you know how many ignorant forum administators banned him for (im sure "unfounded") actions. It seems that Bill enjoys stirring the pot, and takes pride in the controversy that he creates. Cool, thats his right as a tax paying American, and I support his freedoms of both opinion and speech. What I DON'T support (or more accurately, appreciate) is when his freedom of speech steps over that imaginary line that separates fun/witty and distasteful; When Marswolf died, Bill was an insensitive prick about the entire situation. Bill lost a lot of "fans" in doing so. When Misty passed way, again Bill was a bully and downright insensitive. Again, Bill didnt make any friends with these actions. When Bill was finally banned from TGO (after a ton of warnings, "Time Outs", and other administrative actions) he left and started www.tncivilsociety.com • Index page For the record, I think that he made the right move. He didnt like the way TGO was being run, so he did what I feel this country was founded on: Don't like the way something is run? Go out and try to do it better somewhere else! What I find interesting is the fact that Bill has used www.tncivilsociety.com • Index page as a sounding board to lash out against TGO, David, TGO Mods, and yes- even Hero-Gear. If TGO and the members suck so bad, why would you spend you time talking about them? I believe that most/all of his Admin/Mods are very active members here at TGO, so I guess Bill is the only one sitting on the TGO sidelines. *which again, is a result of his own actions. IN MY OPINION; TGO, David, and the rest of the staff have taken the high road since Bill left. Unfortunately, Bill does not show the same respect. Case in point? In the very article we are discussing, Bill took the time to single TGO out, paint the members as Navy SEAL fan-boys, and paramilitary types. How is that "civil" as his website claims to be? So let me congratulate Bill, his shop, staff, and forum members for some (generally) positive press. In a society where the press has their liberal hands around everything we do, I think he did fairly well to represent himself and gun owners in general as more than a bunch of hillbillys living in a cave and clinging to our guns and religion. I wish he would have had more class, and not used the article as an opportunity to jab TGO and all of our paramilitary mall ninjas What would I like to see in the future? No negative references to Bill or Eastside here at TGO No TCS members coming here to "promote" Eastside (Bill lost that right when he was banned) No more jabs pointed at TGO or David over at TCS. (Do I really think Bill is interested in being "civil" over on his forum? not really, but one could always hope) * You will notice that I have not asked that he limit his jabs and snide remarks about myself or Hero-Gear. (Because I think those remarks only make him look like an ass) **Disclaimer Im sure some may feel that my opinions are biased by the fact that Bill and I are in the same industry, and may be viewed as "competitors" Let me state for the record that I do not, nor have I ever viewed Eastside Gun Shop as a competitor. He has his market, and I have my market. Bill runs Eastside as he sees fit, and I wish him all the success in the world. He has a new line of ammunition out, and I hope that is successful as well.

We switched all our our outbound shipping from UPS to FedEx about 18 months ago. Our rates are lower and the service is better, so we are very pleased with the switch.

Well, I guess we have a few "experts" here.... Ok, let me state for the record that NO! The slide pictured was not made 400 years ago, nor can I think of any metal/blacksmiths making "real" Damascus in a commercial capacity. The slide you see here is regarded as the best money can buy (think 6-12 month wait and 1000.00 to get started) and is a love it or hate it type of thing. I love it, thus I am having my personal Hero 1911 built using this slide. Here is a good article that discusses the origins of the Damascus slides offered by Caspian Arms Magazine Articles about Tussey Custom Guns

We have 300+ Spikes lowers in stock. Spikes has had a wild ride (as have many dealers/manufacturers) in the aftermath of the "Great gun run of early '09" with up 20% of FFLs going out of business this year, and several major manufacturers suffering the same fate. The above mentioned thread does document the details of Spike's actions, and how they have worked to rebuild some relationships in the industry. Please refer to this post: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/hero-gear-llc/25044-lower-fiasco.html#post385770 for details of our current feelings and status with Spikes.

I would contact TNRoboCop. He is AGR with the Air Guard, and I think may have some info on how to navigate through DRMO waters.

How about something a little different.....

Man, I dont know Glen.... I googled, and all I got was the fact that your brother was a Navy deckhand, kicked out of the Navy for stealing MP5 magazines out of the supply room. In fact, google even claims that he doesnt know how to swim!

Tommy Welcome to TGO, and thanks for all your support of TN FoNRA. Guys- Tommy and his family are first class people, and it goes without saying that we need more people like him.

Ron is a good guy, and is a pretty good shooter. Here is a picture of him getting my P90 brief prior to unleashing 50 rounds of 5.7mm terror I should see him tomorrow at the 2010 installment of this: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/tennessee-politics-legislation/19484-tn-house-representatives-range-day-aedc-2009-a.html
