    TX DPS - More than semiauto AND faster

    TRG-42 Mags on Sale!

    Re: TRG-42 Mags on Sale! Yes, just saw that! Weird. I could understand if they had been flagged as "on sale" when at $129.xx, but they had been flagged as "clearance"! Perhaps a flagging error? (should have been "on sale" versus "on clearance") Glad I ordered that 2nd one before the price...

    Accushot Monopod....Which size??
