Anyone know if Jensen is closed for Veterans day? I popped in to pick up a DPMS lr-308 on saturday... Couldn't pick it up till today because of the lag on bg checks. I'm calling to make sure and it is busy all morning. :) Bob might just have a ton of business again. :)

Anyone know a good compensator/flash hider that will mount to the end of the 24" stainless barrel? Any recommendations on a scope?

Happy Veterans day! And Happy USMC Birthday yesterday!!!

No idea on their hours.. but for the FS - PWS's FSC 30 is getting great reviews - http://primaryweapons.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=5&idproduct=37

Optics really depend on what you want to do and how much you are willing to spend.

That looks like a cool one Badshot... Thanks for the quick response.

For a scope- I'm probably going to be target shooting 300-500m and hopefully hunting a bit.

I just found a bank that is open so I'm off to get my cash for the LR and head up. I'll post a pic of their emptying wall of ARs if anyone is interested. Bob said he has sold 70% of his ARs as of Sat..

Heh, they took the phone off the hook yesterday because they are so damn busy.

Here is a pic of J at Jensen and the top shelf of ARs. In this one you can see 12/30 slots are empty. Bob said he usually has 10-20 guns behind each on display. So they have run through a LOT. Magazines are disappearing quick there.

Anyone else stocking up right now? I just ordered 6 saiga12 mags, 2 20 round drums, 6 mags for this new lr380...

The range isn't really the issue here, it's how much you're willing to spend.. you can start around $300 for pretty decent glass and go up to $2500 for god like pure vision to 1000m .. and everything in between.

So at ranges like that you should consider a optic with lots of range in the adjustments and or a 20MOA base to get some extra range out of the elevation adjustments. Make sure you spend the money on a good set of rings or mount.. Badger, Leupold, LaRue and a few others are all more than solid. The prices can seem traumatic though.

Another option is a fixed magnification optic like a ACOG and several others that are low variable magnification e.g. 1-4x and so on.

J helped me with my M1A purchase. He also tried to talk me into a suppressor. He's good working the gun counter. I'd like to get one for my 22s and another for my ARs while I still can.

...pun intended. ;)

yeah i really want that gemtech upper for my mkII govt target model. The integrated can is barely longer than my current bull barrel. Just having trouble deciding if I can spend more than the $2k I gave them today. :)

I think Jensens was the best EBR shop around, until there price hike.
I know it's a free county but maybe give us CO AR-15 guys the old discount.[HiFive][Love4]
