  1. That's the complete issue, right there. <thumbsup>
  2. Original Pmgs (Gen 1) - wouldn't drop free from all lowers, but made to specs. Tolerance stacking amongst manufacturers, primarily. Includes the dust cover. Pmag, Revision M - thinner at the tops, so they'll drop free from out of spec lowers, or close to spec lowers. Included the dust cover. Pmag E-Mag - smooth bodied, sightly changed to function with all European-spec weapons, including the HK 416. Includes dust cover. Pmag, Gen 3 - revised again, so they'll function in HK 416 rifles, Marine Corps IAR, and all Euro-spec weapons, as well as all AR weapons here. Thinner profile at the bottom now, for stacking in mag pouches. "Over-insertion stop" on the back of the mag. Includes dust cover. Now, "Gen 2 MOE magazine" - this is the older Revision M mag. The first upgrade. It's what gets sent to rifle manufacturers that spec MagPul parts on their rifles, and now that it's the Gen 2, it doesn't include the dust cover. When you buy a Gen 2, no dust cover, but you're getting the Revision M mag.
  3. ^^^ What HE said... <lmao> Welcome aboard, man.
  4. DSG Arms is still having the Holiday Mag pack sale - I'd suggest hitting it up. 10 Gen 2 MOE non-windowed black Pmag 30s, and a free patch = $100.00 10 Gen 2 MOE windowed black Pmag 30s, and a free patch = $125.00 The mags ARE out of stock right now, they ARE accepting backorders, and they DO expect the next shipment within a couple weeks. The "MOE" designation means that they're the Gen 2 upgraded mags, but just don't come with dust covers. I grabbed 2 non-windowed packs (10 each pack), and also threw 10 black Gen 3 Pmag 20s in the order, at $10.45 each. Go get 'em! ;D <thumbsup> P.S. The sale ends at midnight, 31 Dec... Tomorrow night.
  5. I'm with ya on the Lautenberg bullpoopy, too. That Amendment was passed, and became part of the law. Sometime around 1999 or 2000, after lengthy court battles, it was decided that it was retroactive, and it DID apply to military members. If you're a Soldier, and you're not permitted to handle firearms... So, I had to put 3 very, very good Soldiers out the door. Not my choice, their names were on the list, and they had to go. One got to stay, but had to become a Chaplain's Assistant (no weapons assigned to that job specialty).
  6. It really is that bad right now, man. GS Arms has some JD Machine lowers in stock, $165 per.
  7. Toby is such an awesome dog, brother. <thumbsup>
  8. That's already the case, and has been for many, many years now. Lautenberg Amendment. If you're convicted even of the Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence, you lost your firearms ownership/possession rights. Convicted is not accused - you'd have to be convicted.
  9. Thanks! I will be picking a few up. <thumbsup>
  10. That thing is so very close to the AAC Brakeout, just not a suppressor host - I've been thinking about picking one up. Lemme know how it works, but I think I already know how it's gonna work... <thumbsup>

    $7/gal for Milk

    Here's a local Iowa story on this mess - it just shows you how much the Govt Fucktards have NOT been doing their jobs. They ALL need to go - good ones, bad ones, get 'em all out. Start fresh, with people that realize that we don't work for them, and they indeed DO work for the citizens... Read on: DES MOINES, Iowa -- The new year could bring new worries for American consumers: Milk prices could double or triple. Without a new Farm Bill by Tuesday, milk prices by law would revert to rules set in 1949, which could send milk prices soaring. Those pricing laws, complete with inflation adjusters, have the potential to send prices as high as $8 a gallon from the present $3.50 a gallon national average by as soon as February. But milk producers and processors believe action will be taken to avert the price spike. Underscoring the nervousness around a potentially hot consumer issue, President Barack Obama on Friday urged Congress to at least pass an extension of the current Farm Bill, according to Politico. The 64-year-old Farm Bill gives the secretary of agriculture the authority to step in to adjust prices, which Tom Vilsack is expected to do. Vilsack said on Dec. 20 that he and his agency are "prepared to do whatever it is legally obliged to do" in the absence of a new farm bill. "You certainly wouldn't think that the secretary of agriculture would let the price of milk double," said Miriam Erickson Brown, chief executive officer of the Anderson-Erickson Dairy in Des Moines. The company is one of the largest dairy processors in the Midwest. While a giant leap in prices might seem like a windfall for both producers and processors, Brown and others say that wouldn't be so. "We don't want a big spike in prices," Brown said, noting that per capita milk consumption has been flat in recent years because of what she said was an undue consumer focus on fat and calories at the expense of the nutritional value of milk. Chris Hoeger, vice president for procurement for Swiss Valley Farms in Davenport, Iowa, said a major price increase would make U.S. milk uncompetitive in world markets and open the door to imports. "We would continue to lose market share in the U.S. as most consumers will not spend or be able to spend $8 for a gallon of milk," Hoeger said. Dairy producer Joe Lyon, who runs a family operation near Tama, Iowa, scoffed at the idea that prices would be allowed to more than double. "It's just a lot of talk to scare people into passing a Farm Bill," he said. For all its wholesome image, the politics and economics of milk have proved to be complicated. Unlike virtually all other agricultural commodities, which long ago were sprung from government controls to the free market, milk prices still are controlled by what are known as "market orders" issued monthly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The market orders the USDA sent to producers and retailers a week ago guarantee that milk prices won't rise in January. "We know that our prices won't rise on Jan. 1, and if anything, might go down a bit through the month," said Ruth Comer of Hy-Vee Inc., the West Des Moines-based grocery chain. "There's been some publicity, and we've had questions about it, but we've assured customers there won't be an increase after New Year's," she said. Lyon, the Tama dairy producer, said milk is heavily regulated for "good reasons, including health and to make sure it is affordable to consumers." "It is fashionable to criticize regulations. But regulations aren't always a bad thing," he said. Processors like Brown see the matter differently. In April, Brown testified before a congressional committee, urging that price controls be removed from milk. The International Dairy Foods Association, representing processors, opposes a new program included in the 2012 Farm Bill that's designed to control milk prices. Instead, the group said, the Farm Bill should emulate the programs for other commodities and focus on providing safety-net programs, such as revenue insurance, typically used to protect growers of corn, soybeans and wheat. Disagreement between producers and processors was one of many reasons Congress was unable to pass a new Farm Bill before the November election and is thought to be unlikely to pass one before the new year. One of the key disagreements: The House wanted deeper cuts in spending, including in food stamps, than the Senate approved in its bill.

  12. ss, you'll love that barrel twist, with some good 68~69 gr match bullets. 16" midlength is a very soft shooter, and that's a very accurate setup. <thumbsup> I have 3 x 1:8 twist setups, and all are fantastic. One 20", one 18" and one 16", all stainless, and all Wylde chambers. They shoots the lights out. ;D
  13. It is a good deal, and I hope someone from here jumps on it - it's available, and the price isn't jacked like all the other semi-auto stuff right now. Someone will grab it fast, that's certain. <thumbsup>
  14. Post the link to his shop, then, with the item for sale... Easy, brother. Otherwise, lets just get it moved to the sales and coupons section, but it should still have a link to the item for sale. <thumbsup> This section is really for selling personal items - I commend you big time for getting the word out, and helping others, so let's get it to fit this section, and try to keep it here. :happydrunks:

    $7/gal for Milk

    He couldn't lead his way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. It's gonna aggravate the hell out of me to see him take all the credit, though.
  16. That's right, sweetie... ;D <laughs>
  17. To post in the For Sale section, a pic of the actual item that is for sale must be posted - find the one Joe has for sale, post a pic, and it should be good to be in here. <thumbsup> Otherwise, it sould be listed a couple sections down, in the sales and coupons part.
  18. You have to run the RRA lower, then, just so others know. Longer than anything else (DPMS and Armalite patterns), so nothing else will fit that upper. Good luck, man. <thumbsup>
  19. My old stompin' grounds for about 3 years. I love that area. Welcome aboard, man. <thumbsup>
  20. Already planned. <thumbsup> You and DNP need to meet anyway. I'm just sayin'. ;D
  21. :wtf: are you talking about, sketch... Slow down, breathe, and try that again, man.
  22. 5.56 or .308, what are you talking about here? The answers you've received thus far are 5.56 answers.
  23. Was it printed before all this poop blew up, though, brother?... <dontknow>
  24. That's cool, brother - when the time comes, you know how to get here, and I've got all the firearms that you'll need. <thumbsup>
  25. This is another very, very good read - I'm still working through it. My ONE point that I believe hasn't been addressed by anyone in print yet, either physical print, or electronic media. THIS, I firmly believe: The Anti-2A gun grabbing assholes are going after the "Assault Weapons" like we don't really need them. These "Assault Weapons" serve no purpose - they're not for hunting... Let me tell you dumb fuckers something. The people that wrote the documents that you so choose to piss on all the time, and try to deem "irrelevant" in our modern world - THOSE MEN. They were armed with the most technologically advanced firearms of THEIR TIME when they wrote those documents. If they could have predicted the future, you can GOD DAMN SURE BET YOUR ASS that they would have included those visions in the documents they produced. Guaranteed. They used those weapons, and made advancements in them, based on combat - The French & Indian War was "practice" for something they didn't see in the future - the Revolution. They modernized during those times, from one conflict to the next - and most important conflict of our defining of this nation. THEY FULLY INTENDED FOR EVERY CITIZEN TO HAVE THE MOST MODERN HARDWARE THAT IS POSSIBLE, AND NEVER BE LIMITED FROM IT IN ANY WAY. Take that poop to the bank.
