    Olympic Arms OA-93, any hands on experience?

    Wow Todd, thank you so much for your very informative post on this subject. I'm not SOLD on buying one, but IF i go the route of adding an AR15 Pistol into my collection, the OA-93 may get a nod. Pricing for a complete pistol I have seen for 600-800, not sure if that ranks anywhere near a good...

    Olympic Arms OA-93, any hands on experience?

    Before I built my "only" AR-15 I was seriously contemplating turning the stripped lower into a pistol, but decided a nice all-around user friendly recon-styled 18" rifle was what would suit me best for that build. Fast forward to me killing time and watching the movie Clear and Present Danger...

    Another gun buying painc in progress?

    I wish I could agree with this. Sadly I just rewatched Clear and Present Danger and have a fierce itch to get an Olympic Arms OA-93 with the quickness. Also wanted to get a Colt Python, but Rick Grimes has pretty much ruined that for me.

    Looking for a basic trail camera to trap a pest

    Appreciate all the advice folks. I am going forward with 2 fixes. Getting that deer spray first and hitting the vegetation. Then also buying a new front door light that has a built in security motion sensor camera, for enough reasons and maybe it would also catch the idiot deer too.

    Looking for a basic trail camera to trap a pest

    That's on the long term plan. tearing up a 1' wide path outside the 'sidewalk' path from the front door to the driveway, planting a row of something like 'Bee Balm' that can look decent through the year, and act as a barrier. For now though I would just love to learn exactly when this pest...

    Looking for a basic trail camera to trap a pest

    Subdivision with an HOA, can't do any preventative measures like that.

    Can somebody please explain the difference...

    The 3 twist rates you mentioned won't make a hill of beans difference, your bullet weight, intended target, range, optics and overall amount of practice/range time will make the most difference. The mags... both work fine. When the D&H GI style mags are on sale for $7 or less at PSA I grab...

    Looking for a basic trail camera to trap a pest

    Thanks for the suggestions folks. That actually sounds like a decent idea, I was debating on spending a weekend morning in my normal hunting gear sitting on the front door stoop once I get the timing of when this deer comes calling, hose in hand (until I figure out a more permanent method)...

    Looking for a basic trail camera to trap a pest

    I'm not in need of a super camouflaged high resolution camera, something more basic that is going to get mounted on my house near the front door for a night or two. I have my main garden in the fenced back yard, but there is a small 2'x2' square near my front door that over the years has been a...

    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    This thread is so awesome. Helps those of us that don't have any land or safe places to hunt any longer. Color me envious of those full freezers. Keep up the good work!!

    Almost blew my Rifle up yesterday

    Good reminder. My buddy who has a 300 blackout rifle in with his others has those magazines marked with blue electrical tape. We both have a bit of a chuckle when he gets out that tape to mark any new mags. Movie reference for our generation :)

    Thoughts on Leupold VX-2 1-4x20?

    I'll second the Burris MTAC, can't cite comparisons between it and the Leupold VX but the package deal was a winner for me. Adding in the Ballistic CQ reticle and I was sold.

    Decreased my carbon, er uh CALIBER footprint today.

    I did mine for two reasons, I had a known entry of 2 new individuals into my household who are/were incapable of wiping their own bottoms, eating their spinach, and maintaining proper firearm handling practices (working on the eldest with a Despicable Me "Fart Gun" and it's going well). Second...

    Would you make this trade?

    I would do it, but I am deeply in want of a HP C series. So I am highly biased. Good luck on it and let us know what you did!

    What To Do If You Get Pulled Over

    Sam making sensible statements yet again. Everyone has the right to proceed as they so desire. You can make the decision yourself. I personally want to get home to my family and be sure my kids have me present, so I know how I will proceed.

    LaserLyte Dual Lens Center Mass laser?

    Curious to know if anyone has used one of these. "The Center Mass laser feature projects a ring of eight green laser dots with one green laser dot in the center as the aiming laser. The circle grows at one-inch per yard, approximately the same configuration as a shotgun aimed at a moving...

    On-rifle storage options for cleaning stuff for AR15 carbine?

    Depends on what you are running for a stock and grip combo. I went with a Rifle setup vs a Carbine and have a standard cleaning kit in the A1 stock with the Magpul MOE grip/bottle. I could see doing the same grip with one of the Magpul ACS or something similar and rolling up a boresnake into...

    What's your "buy it now" price for ammo online?

    Only just got back into AR15s, so trying to keep it below $150/500rnd packs with shipping included for brass. My rifle functions with steel but prefer brass. Still browsing for deals.

    Negligent discharge

    It's been many years since I owned an AR15, just last week took my new one to the range and was astonished at how easy it is to flip the safety off. I can see that happening in a ball duffle or something. Not so easy with one of my 1911s, but still.

    Keymod or Picatinny (Quadrail)?

    There is a common internet 'thread' that Keymod attachments fall off, or are not stable, etc but I've yet to see actual proof of this. As I understood it, Magpul couldn't produce a functional Keymod in their polymer handguards, so they did their own. Since they have the market share (plus a...
