    Moneybomb for NRA-ILA

    Already done, and I agree, it was a great idea.

    Civilian FN SCAR 16S Now for sale!

    Not to resurrect a dead thread, but the 17S is what I'm saving up for as well. I might pick up a 16S if prices come down any later this year, but otherwise, I have plenty of 5.56mm platforms already.

    2009 SHOT Show, Long Review

    Thanks for the first-hand report, atek3. I see Winchester has plenty of marketing budget to waste. :D I hope you get to meet some of the other THR founders, someday.

    How reliable is ammunitiontogo.com?

    Two boxes of 9mm Gold Dots were damaged and missing rounds when they arrived. The missing rounds were not in the shipping container, either. ATG has offered to replace the boxes but I haven't closed the loop with them yet. They've been responsive and willing to fix the problem, and to me...

    Do-It-Yourself Alarm Systems

    I'd have trouble trusting a wireless system without knowing more about how the communications is secured. It seems like it would be far more vulnerable to interception or spoofing than a wired system. On the other hand, anyone prepared and able to defeat a wireless system is probably...

    Wow, can you say half off SCAR and PS90?

    Its getting bad out there

    I'm real happy my license is good another couple of years. The crowds should have subsided by that time.

    Accidentally flicking off the safety

    My first carry pistol was a Glock 19. I understood that it had no external safety like other firearms, and that I had to carry it in a suitable holster. It generally stayed in the holster, and it never went bang unless I pulled the trigger. I never pulled the trigger except when at the range...

    No tritium illumination in Trijicon TA31 ACOG

    The TA31 should have dual illumination; fiber optics and tritium. How old is it? You can try calling Trijicon to see if they'll fix it under warranty. They might not if you're not the original owner.

    when at the range why not let a few others shoot your stuff

    Some of the best fun I've had at a range was "trading stuff" with other people at the range. One mag from yours for one mag from mine, etc. That, and providing general guidance for newer shooters when appropriate. You asked why not share? Well, general liability concerns. If someone gets...

    DPMS Sweet 16 Q's ["Full size" Bolt, .223/5.56, & BUIS]

    I place more faith in what the manufacturer says than what an internet website tells you. Naturally, that includes this internet website. :D DPMS's website lists products segregated between .223 Remington and 5.56mm. The "Sweet 16" is listed under the .223 Remington section. Call DPMS and...

    DPMS Sweet 16 Q's ["Full size" Bolt, .223/5.56, & BUIS]

    If it's chambered for .223, do not run 5.56mm through it. It may fire once without a problem. It may fire 100 times without a problem. Eventually you will feel pain. The DPMS website states ".223 Remington" for this model, so I would call them to clarify further if necessary. By "full size...

    Best place to buy OEM Glock 27 barrel?

    If you have your C&R FFL, Midway has a slightly better price than Express Police Supply on that item.

    How sturdy are glocks?

    Nice choice, I also own a Glock 19. As everyone else has said, it was probably the limp wrist and not the Glock itself that was at fault. I can recall one failure to feed that I witnessed first hand, but it turned out to be the ammunition that was at fault. One round of WWB 9mm had a case...
