    Anyone have experience with Sightmark night vision equipment?

    I came across some night vision equipment from a company called Sightmark. I've never heard of them, but I haven't been looking at night vision stuff that long. Does anyone have experience with their NV products? Thanks for any replies.

    AR magazines....need help

    $12.30 plus $12 shipping (more if you order more than one) isn't that much of a sale. Here's $10.24 for black, dark earth and OD green, plus $8 flat rate shipping no matter how many you buy: http://www.lensandlasers.com/magazines/rifle-magazines?manufacturer=907

    AR magazines....need help

    I'm stubborn. When Pmag's first came out and everyone was buying them, I stuck with my aluminum mags. A friend gave me a Pmag to try, and that was all it took for me to switch. Even though they're plastic, they feel more solid than most aluminum mags. They load easily, and I haven't had one jam...

    New Miami Classic--strap won't reach

    I stretched it like crazy today, and got it to snap. Not easily, but I'll keep stretching. I'll try the hot water. I like to have the strap just a tiny bit loose, as it makes re-holstering and re-snapping easier.

    New Miami Classic--strap won't reach

    That's right. With the hammer cocked, the snaps are within 1/8" or so of being able to be connected. With the hammer down, it's more like 1/4" +.

    New Miami Classic--strap won't reach

    I replaced my well-worn Miami Classic with a new Miami Classic II. I wasn't expecting the change in the thumb break. The strap is about 1/8" too short, even when I jam the 1911 in as far as it can possibly go. I even took out the rubber bushing for the tension screw to maybe give it more travel...

    Galco Jackass harness in finished leather?

    Thanks. I bought a Miami Classic II harness, which is pretty close to the same thing.

    Galco Jackass harness in finished leather?

    I need to replace the harness on my Miami Classic. Rather than go with the standard thin straps, I'd like to go with the wider straps of the Jackass harness. However, I only see them now in suede. I don't see any in a finished brown leather. Doesn't Galco made harnesses in finished leather...

    Archdale Arms, NC---Out of Business?

    I've been trying to call Archdale Arms & Ammo in Archdale, NC, but I keep getting a message that the phone numbers I'm using are not in service. Does anyone know if the store is still in business? Thanks for any replies.

    Gun-free zone map

    Someone did make a map of all of the mass shootings, and had the locations marked as gun-free zones or not. I remember folks saying what a clever idea it was. It wasn't all that long ago. This is driving me nuts. I just wanted to post a link to it on Facebook to drive my liberal gun-hating...

    Gun-free zone map

    I guess I didn't make myself clear. This was a map of the US with marks at all of the media-hyped spots where there were mass shootings. The map also indicated which of them (all, or nearly all) were in gun-free zones.

    Gun-free zone map

    I recall that a couple of years ago somebody put together a map showing mass shootings from the last 10 or 20 years, and which ones were in Victim Disarmament Zones. I've been trying to find that map on Google and Bing, but no luck. Does anyone remember this, and know where I can find it...

    Bore finish question

    Murphster, the barrel came this way. The pistol is excellent in every respect, and shoots fantastic. Maybe I should be a little more clear. The bore is shiny, and looks fine without magnification. If I put a magnifier to it, there appears to be something like VERY light lead fouling in the...

    Bore finish question

    Bigfatdave, I'm selling the pistol, and I don't want some buyer to want to return it because he says the barrel is pitted. I did call Kimber, and they confirmed what I thought, that their barrels sometimes need to be fired a lot to get that mirror finish. I hate having to take back anything...

    Bore finish question

    Thanks, JTQ. The bore isn't just dull. With a magnifier it looks like it has very faint texture, and I mean very faint, but enough that it's not shiny. I'm going to call Kimber in the morning to see what they have to say. They'll think I'm nuts.

    Bore finish question

    I have a Kimber 1911 that I bought brand new ten years ago. By that time I already had two Kimbers I'd bought in 1998 and 1999. Both of those have bores that are shiny. The 2002 Kimber has always had a bore that wasn't shiny, but wasn't pitted, either. It just was never polished like the...

    What guns would you go for in a raffle?

    Okay, let's change this a bit. Don't think about what audience this is playing to, or who might be buying, or how diverse a group it may be. Just think about you and only you. If there was a raffle you were going to participate in, what would you love to have the chance of winning? Don't...

    Have you seen this laminate?

    Laminate is also the term used for the material that has the pattern and color. For example, Formica is a laminate. I thought maybe these places would have laminate about as thick as Formica, but which could be dimpled or checkered.

    Have you seen this laminate?

    Oh, well. It seemed like a good idea. Thanks for letting me know.
