What is the advantage in using the magpul followers?

Well part of membership is the security card to grant access if I understand correctly. According to the website you can bring immediate family as often as you'd like and visitors, except each visitor can be a visitor only twice a year. What is ATA exactly?

I believe so, or at least, it seems like there was a skeet range there the last time I was there 10 years ago.

I am sending off my application tomorrow. It would be good to be accepted because when you are in, you will pretty much be able to shoot any time you want as long as it's light out. No one else has to be there, either. This is the next best thing to being able to shoot in your backyard. I'll be looking forward to taking advantage of the 300yd rifle range, too.

The reason I'm not using an AR for defense is because: a) I don't have one yet 2) When I get it, it will be a while before I have accessories that would make it a good defense weapon (light in particular) R) It would be a weapon I'd have to take out of the safe when I get home, and put away every morning before work. I can keep my handgun out at all times, and when I'm not home, it's not home either, so there's no loaded gun laying around around for a burglar to steal. Back to .223 overpenetration, here is some interesting reading on the topic along with some ballistics: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=146306

Actually with frangible ammo, a 55 grain .223 round is less likely to penetrate normal house walls than an average 9mm round which weighs twice as much, or a .45 acp that weighs 4x as much. The frangible rounds are meant to fall apart. Now that's not saying your Wolf .223 FMJ ammo is going to.. it will punch right through your house and go into your neighbor's house (probably not if you or he has a brick house, though). Be wise as to your ammo choice.. an AR is a great home defense weapon, as long as you get the training to know how to use it in close quarters. I agree about the legal aspect, though. I'm sure an aggressive liberal DA could try to sway a jury based on the looks of the gun.

The .45 GAP cartridge is awesome! Signed, Windows Vista Z06 Roof Panels The Titanic

Definitely not. Thanks for the replies. I'll try a couple of the Wideners mags.

omghi2u.

I ordered a Bushmaster A3 M4 today, and of course the one magazine supplied isn't enough. I hope to slowly build my magazine store to 15-20 mags picking them up here and there, but what do I need to look for? I know that there are probably more than a few manufacturers out there, and I want to know what brands/characteristics I should be looking for. Thanks.

Hey John!

Buy a speedloader for your magazines. You can get small ones that fit over the magazine and would slip into a pocket easily. For shooting over 1000 rounds, this would be really nice to have.

Well they've deleted both posts

Is this a radiator with aluminum or plastic tanks?

Did anyone else notice the old perv. looking dude trying to hit on the young teenage girl on the Brady myspace page Her profile says she is 16.

Well I shot it today and it goups well. I shot 50 rds into this target at 10 yards. It seems a bit low, but I can adjust that out. At least it's on center now! I like the Tru Glo sights.. they're nice and bright. The group to the bottom left was where I was shooting one-handed. This is obviously something I need to work on.

Holy balls, that guy has me pissed off. The Brady Campaign has picked up on his comments and has posted them: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=88508969&blogID=231738183&MyToken=70814c28-fef5-4d05-8c37-76113727327e I hope that guy gets fired.

Did anyone click the next blog entry? http://outdoorlife.blogs.com/zumbo/2007/02/i_was_wrong_big.html Oops.

I would contribute.

$9.98 at Wal Mart in Hermitage.

Go ahead Wareagle. I am saving for an M4 and buying this would only hinder me.

Well it came today. These sights look good. I can't wait to shoot it. I'm going to go tomorrow if the TWRA Range on Hobson is open.
