    TGO lower

    I used a CMT upper, but my PSA upper, and my Colt uppers both fit the CMT lower fine as well.
  2. Yep, I got some 9mm and 38 spl brass last spring, nothing special, essentially range pickups that have been sorted, but but they shipped it in good time and was not overpriced when the 38 spl was hard to find elsewhere.
  3. Brass exchange has it in stock ATM.   http://shop.thebrassexchange.com/357-Magnum-Brass-250-Piece-Count-0357M250.htm
  4. I could care less if they want to sell to a select group as David does, that's not the issue in my eyes, it's that the Academy employee flat out lied to Lionsfan when he specifically asked about the bulk ammo. Had the employee said that they already "reserved the bulk that came in for a customer that called in earlier" I'd be unhappy but not like I expect Lionsfan is catching them lying to his face.
  5. Cannot wait! I love my CMT receivers.
  6. Actually there are only 5 states will require Elio drivers to wear a helmet with 12 more requiring it for drivers under a certain age (17,18 or 21).   As for the deposits to reserve an elio you can pledge various amounts from $100 to $1000 in both refundable and non refundable deposit types. the non refundable deposit holders get their orders filled first but all deposits net the buyer more off the purchase price than the initial deposit amount.
  7. I've never shot the 9mm shot rounds through a smooth barrel to compare, but I've also never had a problem killing a pest with it inside 10 feet. mice, groundhogs, squirrels, poisonous snakes, ect.
  8. The CCI 9mm shot shells will cycle in my sigma, makes for a great gun for yard work though the aluminum cases are a little bit of a pain to pick up. I haven't ever tried the 22s.
  9. Made it into work, but took 2 hours with a chainsaw and tow strap to do it. Freezing rain had brought down lots of trees around us and there were many neighborhoods without power that I passed through.
  10. Coil bind only means that the spring's coils are fully compressed and touching, upon which it's spring rate becomes essentially infinite. This damages some springs while others are actually designed for it, in fact some springs spend nearly their entire service life in full coil bind such as those in some sports car's suspensions.  :up:
  11. A whole lot of it has to do with the quality of the spring. I have mil spec m16 mags from the 80's that were loaded for 20+ years stored in the attic and still perform flawlessly(ammo too even fired full auto), but have seen pro mags that won't work out of the package yet are fixed by replacing the spring.
  12. The wallet updates from the ledger which is stored on all BTC network nodes.(typically miners at this point but can be anyone helping process transactions) The ledger tracks each and every BTC individually virtually connecting it's unique code it to a wallet or multiple wallets since the coins are divisible. Each wallet is essentially an address at which the coins virtually reside, while a paper wallet can be put in a safe deposit box it actually contains a printable representation of the owner's private key to the encrypted address currently "storing" the coins. With the ledger being shared there can never be more than 100% of a single bitcoin nor less than 100% though you could own 50% of one and give the other half to another user. Since each bitcoin is unique and the ledger has track of all the coins in existence the only way to add new coins to the ledger is through mining.
  13.   I wish I had realized when I tossed a few bucks in the pot that I had told my friends, family, and acquaintances to do the same. I bought in to play poker one night at a computer conference in vegas after listening to an hour panel essentially explaining the ins and outs of bitcoin and the encryption behind it. I never have cashed out only added coins where I could here and there, and lost a few to .gov in the silk road fiasco. It's hard to believe that they were just over a penny a piece once upon a time but then again I guess that's how some people feel about the apple stock they bought back in the 80s.
  14. The wallet is digital, it can be stored online, on a flash drive, phone, or hard disk. As with nearly anything digital if is accessible to someone who would steal it, it is only as secure as the user's password. That is why I recommend everyone use a both a good password manager and a secure password generator for everything not just bitcoin wallets, as well as using 2 factor authentication wherever it is offered.
  15. Depends, if your trading bitcoin back and forth into other currencies online then likely yes. If you purchased BTC from an individual or mined it yourself then no. Very little of my coins have ever been through an exchange even though I own several thousand. The first few thousand were purchased from an individual and have never left my wallet.
  16. You've obviously never wondered what to do the the loose mags sliding around in the floorboards of your car/truck.  
  17. Without something like google fiber (or EPB if your lucky and live in chatty) you'll loose significant video quality uploading multiple cams to the cloud instead of local storage.  Limiting yourself to a 1mp cams will help but you won't be able to take full advantage of higher frame-rates and resolutions offered by better cameras.
  18. If you want real scary look at the number of java versions in the wild and all of the exploits published for many of them. I was at a conference last summer where a researcher pointed out that around 75% of the browsers on the web are running a java plug in that is more than 6 months out of date! Source
  19. Not half as big an issue on iOS as it is in the desktop OS, though in iOS it doesn't affect users of Chrome since Chrome handles SSL handshake via NSS instead of the effected DHE and ECDHE.   Coding is extremely complex and it takes YEARS to work all the bugs out. VxWorks is a perfect example, essentially out since 1987 and still had a major bug pointed out by security researchers in 2010.
  20. Oh .gov can snag anything that they want and if you are the one at the point of their sword you're likely screwed, I figured it up last time I was up that way that ORNL's new Supercomputer could brute force each of my passwords in a couple of decades but I would have to be holding back something pretty earth shattering for them to devote those resources for that amount of time to little 'ol me.   But encryption and strong passwords aren't a theory. Give the NSA "X" more packages properly encrypted to try to get into daily and all of a sudden it overwhelms their resources and they have to pick and choose little encrypted bits to work on. Even the NSA's computing resources aren't infinite and the the above average internet users FAR outnumber the analysts at the NSA.
  21. Not necessarily, your stuff can be as secure or as insecure as you make it. I have no fear of the .gov reading my gmail, but it would even take the NSA or ORNL a few decades to brute force their way into some of my research data. If just 1% of the american population learned how to simply attach a properly encrypted text file to an email with a strong password the resources suddenly needed to snoop everyone's email content would increase 1000 fold overnight making it much harder on agency's like the NSA.
  22. Actually it's kinda important if you value the internet and a certain amount of privacy. Some services have simply closed their doors due to things like the NSA or homeland security data requests. Dropbox is letting you know that going forward they will publish all that they can about government data requests and will fight all generic or blanket requests. They will not allow any back-doors to be knowingly installed into their services.   Lavabit closed it's doors rather than give up customer information.   Level 3 alegedly did the opposite and essentially handed the NSA all of Google and Yahoo's data on a silver platter.   Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and AOL have all stood up for their users.
  23. I use Adblock, Ghostery, and NoScript on Chrome.
  24.   5 min is an eternity when thieves are in your house. In 3 min. at my last home 2 thieves walked out the front door in broad daylight with $20k in electronics and valuables(including a 50" plasma) By the time the police arrived the house was re-secured and the thieves were gone.
  25. Likely a simple bump key, They have pretty much made 90% of the locks on the shelves at your local hardware store useless. If you want locks that will actually stand a chance at keeping thieves out look into abloy or bilock cylinders.     Also remember that you don't have to make your entire house a fortress just a bit more secure than the neighbors'. Quality door locks are a great first step.
