MacGyver

Their quality is totally across the board, so long as the board is scaled from "cheap optic that may hold up for a while" to "cheap optic that is a total piece of junk". You may get lucky and get ahold of one that holds a zero for a while, but I've not seen one on real steel that lasts for long. There are some much better options in the same price range for a .22 - especially in the 4x range.

+1 on some solid premarital counseling. It can benefit anyone, regardless of how great you think your relationship is before you get married.

Wow! Great offering for some in depth training on the AK platform. That looks like a great set of courses. Can we look forward to a similar AR offering later in the year?

Robert Pelton, the primary designer of this knife posted on BladeForums yesterday that the production version of this knife is shipping to dealers on Friday, with another shipment the following Friday. Hopefully they'll make it through customs quickly, and dealers should get them within a week or so to then turn them around to everyone who pre-ordered.

I'd like to shoot that Rhino 20DS. It's a neat concept. I don't see myself replacing my J-frame anytime soon, though.

Fast forward a few years down the road. Anyone, if they are looking for a reason, can find a dozen reasons to get divorced a day. I think people who stay married are the ones who have simply decided to. Everybody has their issues they bring to the table. Sounds like trust may be her's. Make sure you're not looking for an issue - though if you are, much better to figure that out now than later. Maybe get some CommSec. I don't need or want to know everything my wife spends or does, and vice versa.

If I want to see snow, I want to have to travel to see it. Otherwise, I'm fine with 80 and sunny.

Mark at the Safe House is good. The guy he had helping him when he moved mine looked like he might have been able to just pick it up and carry it.

You're dealer will get it transferred to him on a Form 3. He will transfer it to you on a Form 4. This is the step that will cost $200. Once you receive your stamp, you can take posession of the receiver and assemble your SBR.

Pistols, rifles and SBR's are all mutually exclusive. A pistol has to start that way on the 4473. You can build with a stripped lower that is transferred to you as a "handgun" on the 4473. To put a stock on a pistol is illegal. Once it's a pistol, it's always a pistol unless you fill out a Form 1 and pay the $200 maker tax. At that point it's an SBR an can never be anything else again, as it goes on the NFA registry. A rifle cannot be shortened to an SBR configuration without filing the Form 1. Again, once done, it's an always an SBR. As was said earlier, don't mix and match parts between builds. Possession of parts without appropriately registered receivers may be considered "constructive intent", and likewise illegal.

It's interesting that their position paper is talking about bayonet lugs on shotguns - thus affecting the 1897 Winchester Trench Gun clones. Mind you, it is a Chinese clone, but it strikes me as "outlawing" one of the most iconic weapons in U.S. military history. Oh well...the irony is probably lost on them anyway.

I've never seen a posting there.

I'd love to see someone step up and offer a full line of knives from various top shelf manufacturers under one roof here in middle Tennessee. That said, I need more places to spend money like I need a hole in my head.

Nice review, and a nice pistol. You may as well just go ahead and tear up those New Year's resolutions.

I transferred mine in through Joe.

That's really nice!

Wow! Good luck and Godspeed.

I'll add an extra caution to anyone thinking of supporting them, that your $400 Rolex knock off very well may get confiscated at the border if customs happens to scan the package. Single watches shipping from an individual overseas to an individual in the states are almost all counterfeits. You are definitely rolling the dice dealing with these guys.

There are some truly amazing counterfeits out there today, if you can use that term to describe a fake. Especially in the space of the major watches - Submariner, Navitimer, etc... there are some counterfeits that literally look like they came from the same factory. "Cyclops" is right, fonts are right movement is right, holograms are correct, lug spacing, serial numbers, etc... We've done some work in the space, and even have seen cases of genuine dealers being fooled and taking them in on trade. Of course, by the time you've bought a good counterfeit, you've spent a good bit of money that could be put toward the genuine article. These aren't your Times Square specials.

Or paddling a quiet lake with my four year-old on the paddleboard first thing in the morning.

Early morning coffee on the beach with a couple of good friends after catching a great set of waves.

It might be worth giving Tom over at Guns for America a call. I bought some subsonic 5.56 made by Engel Ballistic Research from him recently. He may stock the .308 stuff as well.

Awesome! Can't wait to see some pictures.

Love big bore airguns. Kudos to Crosman for upping the ante a bit. Looking forward to seeing how this one performs.

I just finished watching The Pacific last night. Amazon had it for $39, so Santa decided I needed to have it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Everyone should watch this series, as Hanks and Speilberg have done a great job with it. A lot of people initially complained that it was not as good as Band of Brothers. It was certainly different than Band of Brothers, but I thought it was every bit as good. Where the first series had the natural story of the men of Easy Company, The Pacific focuses more on a few individual men in the 1st Marine Division and their stories throughout the war. If anything, this series shows how different this theater was from the European Theater. They may as well have been completely different wars, and the creators did a great job showing that. If you have not seen this series, you really ought to get yourself a copy, or at least throw it in your Netfilx queue. You won't be disappointed.
