That's at least $1000 worth of ammo at today's prices. Congrats!   All smart-assedness aside, that's a cool display.

Better means different things to different folks. Carry what you're comfortable with, what you shoot well and what you'd trust your life to. Magazine capacity isn't everything. Shot placement is. JMHO.

I'm not buying ammo at the current ridiculous prices anymore than I'm paying $1200 for a DPMS AR-15 or paying $55 for a 10/22 mag. I feel like a cranky old man but I'm getting tired of this bull$hit.

Idiocracy. The most prescient movie of all time.

I built a PVC stand that holds a fishing net. Still doing some refinements but I think it will work fine when I'm done with it. No pics right now, sorry. I'll try to get some soon.

Several nice pairs.

Thoughts and prayers Don. Hope for a full and speedy recovery!

I like pretty much everything I heard from Colion Noir. He makes a lot of sense.

Then you could tell everyone that your mag holders are about to be banned and charge twice what they're worth just like the magazines :) Seriously though yours look great.

I won't let mine expire. If nothing else, the dealer pricing I've gotten from Brownells, Midway and Grafs has more than paid my renewal fee.   On a side note, just got my renewal in the mail. About three weeks from the time I mailed it to the time I received it back.

Well if that stays true I should have pickup in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the update...

That really is awesome. I need one immediately.

Nope, you're not the only one. I've made my "naughty list". It irritates the piss out of me, especially here. I imagine a lot of the carpetbaggers will disappear soon enough but the ones who stay will never sell to or buy from me at any price.

I'll take it:)

Really liking this one Steve!

I really like that. 8 or 9 inches overall?

On a related note, what kind of notification do you get when your approval comes through? Do you literally get a notice in the mail?

Yes, do tell. There were apparently several of us who went pending in October....

Thanks Neil, I just found it in stock at Brownells. I need to order a few other things anyhow so I think I'll try it out.

Anyone know of a place to pick up some TW25 around Knoxville?

Interesting...

Glad to hear it. I'm about to backorder a couple of magazines from them I hope the service is as quick:)

I don't watch those videos anymore because they piss me off too. Every time I see one I think about the potential gun advocate that may have been lost.

I don't know. I've never seen a price below $1700 for a 716, pre or post hysteria. I paid $1899 for mine last fall and felt like I got a great deal on it. Wish I still had it.

Whittaker's is in Owensboro, Ky. I believe that they are the largest gun store in Ky. I've found the best way to keep up with their inventory is on Facebook. They post their morning and afternoon releases every day and seem to get all of the best toys. They've put out several PMR-30s in the last week and have ARs up every day at pre-hysteria prices.
