    I'll get in touch with Keo in the morning on that.

    Firearms and equipment theft- 2016 International Sniper Competition Winner

    Well, I hope this is permitted- I tried contacting Frank, but seem to have struck out on getting through. I don't really want to put ALL of his business and details out there, but one member of the first place team in both the 2016 Winston P Wilson Sniper Competition, and 2016 International...

    Sig MPX barrels, etc...

    Good info. I'll get it with a block!

    Fuck yeah! Glad you post this. I have been annoyed at the (typical) Sig antics.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles... new scopes?

    Anyone heard any updates? Last I heard, someone verified they have at least one they've been working on. But that's been months ago (like- 6 or 7?). I emailed them earlier this week and told them they need to shit or get off the pot (but in a more polite manor), cause people are getting tired...

    Think my buddy is disqualified from joining the military?

    Just looked it up- basic straight leg Army Infantry requires 20/20 in one eye and no worse than 20/100 in the other. Both corrected. General entry standards are 20/20 and 20/400. I would imagine that is due to the dioper adjustment limitations of optics. Or, the need to be able to function...

    Think my buddy is disqualified from joining the military?

    Army sniper standard when I went (2009) was the same- 20/20 corrected in BOTH eyes. I don't believe that has changed, nor would there be incentive for them to do so, since qualified canidates are in no shortage. At least Army side, LASIK and PRK are now permissible. I had LASIK about three...

    8 years of suffering under Barack Obama

    Remember when politics (other than gun rights info) were off limits on the hide?

    So glad Chicago gun laws work

    Again- it is still apples and oranges. The best way to look at this would be to come up with an annual average. For that, we can look at the "troop years" (self explanatory- one individual, for one year = one troop year). Rand Corp determined that from September 2001 to December 2011, a total...

    So glad Chicago gun laws work

    Very poor comparison all the way around. -exposure time (12mo vs lifetime) -population (city population vs troops in combat zones) Keep in mind, you're talking about a city of 2.72 million people. In any given recent year, we've had how many troops in areas of active combat? Hell, even...

    Electronic Ear Plugs

    Keep in mind NRR varies with frequency. What you read on the box may not be the whole story; like MSA Sordin's 19 NRR. Dig into the data and in the frequency range of gunfire, it's significantly higher.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Got back a stamp for my Apex Micro. Went pending July 13th, stamped May 20th, got the call tuesday and picked it up tomorrow. Two more form 4's were sent in with said can, and went pending the same day; not back yet.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I think NFA tracker is by far the best place to look if you want info beyond the date your form went pending. I called NFA branch a total of three times; the second and third were specifically to figure out why one of my cans wasn't showing up in the system. Really, outside of that, calling is...

    I've only ever purchased direct.

    Incorrect, unless something changed since January.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Well, the call takers are not associated with the examiners. That's point one that makes your comment here ignorant. Point two, is the fact that, depending on payment method, you may not know when your form went pending. Such is my case since I paid using USPS MO for most of mine. If you...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt back in the wheel guns game...

    If they do come back, it would likely drop the bottom out of the used market.

    Rifle upper on a carbine lower

    You should be fine. That isn't always the case, but 999 out of 1000 it is.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Okay, I've got sort of an update. I called NFA branch to get an update on my forms; all of them are still pending. But for anyone curious about how long it was typically taking for the forms to move into pending, here's the dates I have (date mailed - date pending) JULY 07 - JULY 13 (3...
