Alright. I do have one guy who told me he was going to buy it if X conditions existed. X conditions exist, but now he is getting all wishy washy on me. If you want it, just say the word you'll jump to the front of the line

That being said, you probably don't want a 7.5 inch barrel with a suppressor. Most suppressor manufacturers won't warranty their product if you put it on a barrel shorter than 11" or something along those lines because a lot of ammo is still burning powder 8" down the barrel and it could damage or prematurely wear the suppressor.

Also, if you get a "pistol" length upper and you don't have a stamp, then you just can't put a real buttstock on it. ...And like anything else, there are ways around it. Check out the NFA section of the forum to make your wildest dreams come true! ;)

Too many antibiotics and the body / immune system builds up resistance to them. not to mention so does the bug you're trying to eliminate.

Unless you keep the kids out of school 2-3 more weeks it will be a viscous circle .

I think buy once cry once, and go with the aimpoint pro. Anyone seen them for sale locally?

Not local, but I think I saw them somewhere for $389. Slickguns maybe? You can probably do better then that if you work at it.

I can understand that. Shoots fine with a comp though......methinks.

He has an appointment with ENT specialist. Really bad stridor/croup cough in back to back weeks is odd. But I agree immunity does build up. He seems fine so far (and has gone to school).

Anyone by chance load up one of those silver eggs that held pantyhose back in the day with red dot, a box of primers and firecrackers. Then wrap that sucker with duct tape, insert a cannon fuse and place 10" below a baseball pitchers mound, light and run like hell? Just curious.

That's a good price.

$153.10/8lbs = $197.76 shipped to me

Or, 16lbs for $357.40 shipped.

That's similar to what I've heard, that its longer than varget. I also read something that is shorter than varget, which looking below it might have been RE15.

And their price of $153.70 is the same as midsouth, maybe their shipping is cheaper though. [Dunno]

Well, figure having powder is just as good as currency, so if something more desirable shows up, I can sell/trade.

True, I need to load up some test loads with my 4064 and hit the the range, zero the scope, test the loads, run the analysis, then decide if I want to buy another 8lbs.

I also got 1k Win Large Rifle primers thinking its better to have those than none at all, and in my quick research, people say they're slightly hotter than CCI #200 and are better for long range work. [Dunno]
