Our comical interaction, or the linked articles?... <dontknow> We can get rather ridiculous sometimes, so I had to ask... <lmao>

New show on Animal Planet - Call Of The Wildman - I can't wait to see the first episode... <thumbsup> <laughs> <lmao> http://animal.discovery.com/tv/call-of-the-wildman/

Definitely. DPMS makes the .308 ARs for Bushmaster - as long as it's not the older BAR-10. <thumbsup> Info on interchangeability - I don't know the accuracy of this document, though. http://gunwiki.net/Gunwiki/Ref308ARs

Are you serious, brother? Looters are already out there? WTF... :-[

Check it out, batman. TA648: http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA648 TA648-308H: http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA648-308H Two different scopes.

Yep, read all about it! ;D http://www.hornady.com/ammunition/zombiemax Looks like the rifle ammo that will be available is .223 Rem 55gr, and .308 Win 168gr. I think the Guns & Ammo article says the tips a green, and glow. :o Sounds like A-Max ammo, but a different colored tip. Awesome marketing.

For future reference, when someone searches on this subject - and I've said this before - Armalite clamp-on railed gas blocks are the best in the business. Everyone overlooks them, probably based on price comparison - "can't be better, since it's so much cheaper..." I have a few of them, and I have some of the big-name other-shop ones. For a railed, clamp-on gas block, the Armalite is definitely the best. You can't beat the quality versus the price.

Wow. Lived in Spanaway for 12 years, man. Right off 176th. Small world. <thumbsup>

Here's the reason for the G-Mag, in the first place (It is because of the ITAR): Also, though some may show up on US shores, they're only made for sale in the EU, and aren't supposed to make it over here. They're not competition for us here, against the P-Mag. Not supposed to be, anyway, and for the most part, they won't be. Not the intent.

Ben Avery. Range. Ben Avery Range. Thought I should clarify that for some people, if they didn't know what that was, and thought I was talking about coming up there and looking for someone, with your help... <laughs> <lmao>

Nice - lived there for a couple years. Converted my parents into snowbirds, so I'm up there quite a bit in the winter/spring. I'll try to get up there with some hardware one of these weekends, and we could shoot at Ben Avery. <thumbsup>

Welcome aboard - where in AZ are ya? I'm down in the southeast corner. <thumbsup>

Info on G-Mags, Robo... http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum/showthread.php?1066-G-MAGS-The-German-P-MAG They've been out for quite awhile. Has something to do with the ITAR.

Looks like what I got hit with in the VA/DC area during the winter of '09/'10. Two feet at a damn time, every couple weeks. As soon as I got dug out, I got buried again... :-[ That's a reason I'm happy to be away from there. In the desert, you don't shovel heat.

Welcome! Fire up some details of what you've got brewing. <thumbsup>

Welcome aboard, man! <thumbsup>

Put up some pics of that little beast - very cool. <thumbsup>

That's the coolest pup on the planet, brother - he rocks. <thumbsup>

Jealousy gets you nowhere - get your butt on a plane and visit me during the "winter" here. I'll convert you... ;D Just ask Greg. ;)

Impressive - first time I've seen one apart. SS, this has convinced me to pick a couple of them up, no kidding. I'm a Pmag 'Ho, since those things came out, and have refused to even try anything else, based on those. I will try these now. <thumbsup>

Greg, you have no idea how happy that makes me... <thumbsup> ;D

I damn near lost my eyesight today - forgot my sunglasses when I went to work... <dontknow> <lmao>

Right along the lines with this one - I think I've posted this here before? <dontknow> It's not mine, but was passed to me in an email. The Gun is Civilization Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220 - pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender. There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly. Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable. When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation...and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act. By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
