  1. Oh, Lordy, the Illinois elected representatives are doing some very, very stupid things. They may very well be shooting themselves directly in the foot. "Can't see the forest for the trees" comes to mind right here. I'll link it, but I'm posting the entire news story. By the way, Armalite - you are very, very welcome in my state. Come to Arizona. If I hypothetically knew a guy at Armalite, he would have a place to crash, at my house, during the move. <thumbsup> http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/02/illinois-dems-press-forward-with-gun-control-bills-firearms-group-warns-no/ Illinois Senate Democrats advanced legislation late Wednesday to restrict semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, pressing forward with new gun control measures in the waning days of the session over the objections of firearms groups. Amid the developments, the Illinois State Rifle Association issued an “urgent alert” to its members warning them that Democratic legislators were trying to push through last-minute anti-gun legislation. “There would be no exemptions and no grandfathering,” the group stated in its alert. “You would have a very short window to turn in your guns to the state police and avoid prosecution.” A Senate committee approved two bills, one dealing with the weapons and the other with magazines. Democratic supporters could face a tough sell in the full Senate. One measure would ban the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of semiautomatic handguns and rifles. People who currently own such weapons could keep them but would have to register them. The bill would allow semiautomatic weapons to be used at shooting ranges, but those facilities would be regulated. National Rifle Association lobbyist Todd Vandermyde told lawmakers the bill would restrict about 75 percent of handguns and 50 percent of long guns in circulation today. He also said it would treat law-abiding gun owners like criminals, and is in conflict with Second Amendment rights upheld by the courts. "I've never seen a piece of legislation that tramples on so many court decisions," Vandermyde said. The other bill, introduced by Democratic state Sen. Dan Kotowski, would limit ammunition magazines to 10 or fewer rounds. Those pushing for enhanced restrictions say stricter rules are needed in the wake of a string of high-profile mass shootings -- most recently the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn had been trying earlier this year to pass new legislation in the wake of the Colorado movie theater shooting, but lawmakers are taking another crack at it. Kotowski sponsored legislation in 2007 that would have prohibited assault weapons and .50-caliber rifles. His bill made it through a Senate committee but died on the floor. Another Democratic state lawmaker, Antonio Munoz, introduced the ban on all assault weapons “designed for war.” Quinn has repeatedly tried to get stricter laws on the books but has fallen short. The state Senate got back to work Wednesday. The House plans to return Monday. Both legislative bodies are working against a Jan. 9 deadline -- when the state’s new General Assembly will be sworn-in. Gun manufactures in Illinois have already threatened to leave the area if laws limiting guns are put in place. ArmaLite owner Mark Westrom told FoxNews.com that he’s been fielding offers from at least two others states to move his operation if gun control laws in Illinois are pushed through. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
  2. Or $3,000.00 for the BCG. That's not some wild-ass guess on my part, either. When I see $10 surplus, beat-to-poop AR mags going for $99.00, then it makes my $3k guess right in line with the gougers out there...
  3. You don't really have very many options right now - and it looks like you'll have less options in the future. It's YOUR call. 3 months ago, this was a different story, but it's not the same, anymore. Something to think about. The supply may NEVER come back up, and if you see something that's not "gouging" right now, you'd be best to jump on it. That's my $0.02. Good luck. <thumbsup>
  4. Search out "Al Gore news" right now. He sold out, to Al Jazeera. Yes, he did.
  5. In a "perspective" kind of way, the Fulton chrome BCGs, complete, were mid-$330s in early 2010, when supply was good. If you caught them during a 10% off sale, you nailed that thing for right under $300 - complete. What you're looking at right now, all things considered, for that carrier, isn't really that bad. Pull the trigger, man, before even that is gone. I'm just sayin'.
  6. If I were you, in your situation, I'd go ahead and snatch up the Fulton carrier. You can build up the carrier later - find a complete bolt, firing pin, cam pin and firing pin retaining pin. Voila - complete BCG that way.

    Well,

    You are really welcomed here, anytime, brother. <thumbsup> I forgot to mention this part - once rounds started going downw range, - and we thoroughly glassed the area first, very thoroughly... we flushed out a BP truck. :o I'd finished sight adjustment on the newest one, on the upper flat ground, and was shooting down into the wash, and Jon yells "Cease Fire! Cease Fire!" I'm thinking, "what the hell is he talking about?..." and look up to see a USBP Suburban coming down outta the hills... <lmao> They weren't in the trajectory, never in danger, but they decided to get the hell out of the hills, regardless... <laughs> They didn't even drive up and talk to us. <dontknow>
  8. Then... why are we still waiting?... <dontknow> <lmao> <munch>

    Well,

    Greg, you remember the location where we shot the Tannerite? Jon and I were at the same place on New Year's Day, and... shooting Tannerite. ;D Now, alot of this had already melted - there was much more on the morning of New Year's Eve. It got onto the streets in town. Here's the road on the way in: Here's an interesting sign, right after that cattle guard and gate. This is an example of something that ALL Americans should know, about "our" country, too. We're not "safe" in our own country, and this is one of the reasons that I should NOT be restricted from owning evil "assault weapons..." [img width=810 height=607]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/rgrhartley/100_0628_zps6cc3bd3d.jpg View from the shooting position, and the 1,200-yard range. [img width=810 height=607]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/rgrhartley/100_0629_zps0e035ae7.jpg A couple of the firearms of choice. If you look at the far right side of this pic, you'll see a cardboard target down in that wash - that's exactly 100 yards from the shooting position. We placed the Tannerite on the large rock in the middle of that wash.

    Well,

    It's alright, brother. You have a home here, once everything in this country goes to poop. I'm here for you, anytime - snow and all... Dress warm. <laughs> <lmao>
  11. I can't recommend those enough. I wish more were available. Until then, I won't hesitate to run American Defense mounts. <thumbsup>
  12. Not so much, anymore - alot more technology has been released to civilian ownership... Here's what TNVC is allowed to sell to the public (weapons-mounted lasers, here): http://tnvc.com/shop/category/class1-civilian-legal-infrared-lasers/
  13. RCBS .308 caliber shellholder is the same one for .45 ACP, too. <thumbsup> ;D
  14. I think you were, brother ss - I remember commenting about that situation. The only carrier you can't ship a handgun through is USPS - but they'll let you ship a rifle. <dontknow>
  15. poop, I'll shoot it up - and you don't need to send ammo. I'll provide the ammo, brother. If it doesn't like a certain "Personal Defense" round, you'll know. I have a plethora of different hollow points. <thumbsup>
  16. Yeah, it's gonna give them a leak, for sure... <thumbsup>
  17. Damn glad it's fixed, man. Awesome news. <thumbsup>

    Is it just me

    Gun porn, or porn-porn?... <dontknow>
  19. Good for those people. Telling the media, "Nope, we will not honor your request for info, you don't deserve this info, and it's because your intentions with it SUCK."
  20. The EPA is gonna be up your ass in no time, as well as all the Green Tax bills that'll be headed to you. You guys should think more about the country, and less about yourselves... Do your fair share... <dontknow> <laughs> <lmao>
  21. I currently found an ex-husband that needs some :bitchslap: He will see the light, very soon. <thumbsup>
  22. Oh, she's in trouble, no doubt. I can imagine a pink nurse outfit, for some reason... <thumbsup> ;D
  23. I'm fine - this would be payback - Karma, in a big way - for taking the "Feinstein One" for you bastards. You think I sound funny up there ^^^ - just wait 'til I start talking about myself in the third-person... :o <laughs>
  24. Your PRI adjustable gas block is in stock... at PRI. All sizes are, right now, listed as "ample stock." Thats how they do it. You better get it, where you can get it, while you can still get it. Im just sayin'... Welcome aboard.
