Anyone going to the Appleseed shoot in Ottawa, IL?
I am planning on going, and wanted to check to see if any other THR members will be in attendance.

Just got a new knife (Ontario RAT 5) for my car emergency kit :)
I am a little disappointed with the finish quality.
The handle seems to have some burn marks from the buffing wheel (see photos)
Is this common appearance for knifes with Micarta handles?
Something I should be...
Thanks Rugerlvr for the detailed advice !
I looked at your DPMS link, and I was concerned about the 38" max length. Have you tried the DPMS sling? Do you think the 38" is long enough to use the sling for various support positions?
Also, do you think the buckles are better on the DPMS...
Thanks again for the input -
I am going to pick up this sling from Midway http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=213015&t=11082005
CJ Weapons AR-15 Web Sling Cotton Black - 12$, expands to 52", looks like it will function similar to a USGI web sling.

My Appleseed shoot is in Ottawa, IL - Buffalo Range
Fred's is 'out of stock', so I am trying to find another source.
Good idea about contacting the shoot master to see if they are bringing any.
I have seen the Turner leather straps & like what I see. However, I...
Where can I buy a USGI web sling?
I am going to a Appleseed shoot in early September, and I would like to get a USGI web sling for my AR. I am looking for a cotton version, but I will take nylon.
I have a 'silent sling' and a three-point slling. However, my research into Appleseed has...
Thanks for all of the feedback -
There are some good knifes referenced in this thread !
No - but this is what I find myself carrying this days.
I have a few slip-joints, more of the 'old timer' style. But I don't find much use for some of the small/thin blades.
A number of the knifes...
Thanks for all the suggestions !
I was not aware of the Dragonfly - looks like a good fit for me.
And I could always use another Kershaw ...
I could try a new brand for me with the Boker ....
I do have a birthday coming up ...:)
Anyone have a recommendation for an every day knife w/blade < 2 1/2" ?
I am looking for a folding knife with a smaller blade.
No specific task in mind - general every day use.
I have a few other knifes (Fallkniven F1, Kershaw Leek, Spyderco Delica 4) and have been pleased with quality.
I...
Here is a reference I have used for explaining the differences between a .223 & 5.56:
http://www.winchester.com/lawenforcement/news/newsview.aspx?storyid=11
Good ammo, but not 55 grain (see title above Poll).
I would like to practice with heavier ammo, but the price is a factor.
If I am shoot for score, I'll shoot a heavier bullet.
I am thinking about trying some of the Prvi Partizan match ammo (75g).
If price is no object, I am shooting the Federal. Never a problem for me.
(For me, price is a concern - I am shooting Silver Bear....)
Please note that you asked about 223 ammo - the XM193 is 5.56.
A small, but notable difference (see...
I could not find anything that bans ownership in Chicago.
It does appear that the 'unlawful use' of body armor is a crime.
I was unable to define 'unlawful use' in Chicago.
Here is recent crime report (no details)
