      "The Army's new handgun already has some serious problems"

      See those last two sentences in the post you quoted? The last one alone states "Get rid of the supply chain of parts". A good debate, even if it is adversarial, should demonstrate a comprehension of the subject material. The whole idea is acknowledging the cost and problems of...

      "The Army's new handgun already has some serious problems"

      If there were a way to run the numbers, I wonder if this may actually be true. Issue, use. Discard after a certain round count instead of replacing parts. These retail for what, $200? with a dealer avg markup of 40% this puts dealer costs at roughly $140? These could be manufactured in bulk at...

      Giggity! Cover your keyboard before you click!

      The review: $149 from Midway. Well built. I don't know what kind of abuse would have to be done to want the $400 metal model. No real assembly needed. Just two pins to connect the tray to the top, and a base. I did not mount the base, it stays put. It worked with magpul, mystery metal mags, a...

      Giggity! Cover your keyboard before you click!

      I'll post my own review when it arrives. The negative Nancy's can post whatever they want, but it sounds like envious complaining. If you are low volume whiner, just say "I don't really shoot, but that looks cool" and move on. No one gives a flying F_ck about what standard army issue is/was...

      AR10 Suggestions? Are any of them illegal?

      I have a PTR gen 2 I put together by ordering the upper and lower separately for $580. It was $399 for the upper with BCG and charging handle, the lower $179 with magpul furniture. I think they offer one for $159. Just keep watching and order when they offer free shipping. As has been mentioned...

      Malaysian 7.62x51 300 rd for $125 shipped

      The Korean surplus arrived from AIM today. Boxes of 20 inside of a ammo can. The tape sealing the boxes has started to come 'unstuck' (what do you expect after +/- 35 years). Red primer sealant on each round. A few of the rounds had some rainbow and darkening on the projectile tips, just the...

      Near perfect solution for handgun mag storage

      I have one. It is nicer than the picture. It is the closed cell (non absorbent) foam. I filled one with just loaded 1911 mags. You can get two to a slot. Spend time shooting, not loading. A bit of labeling would make it a useful storage tool for mix & match.

      Malaysian 7.62x51 300 rd for $125 shipped

      Same Malaysian is now $200 for can of 540 at AIM. With approx $20 shipping that is $0.40 a round.

      Malaysian 7.62x51 300 rd for $125 shipped

      I just has to order some of this once I saw it was made by "Poongsan". Poongsan is PMC. Some of my most consistent 1911 ammo is PMC bronze.

      Polymer-coated ammo?

      Wonder Nines

      S & W 5900 & 5906. 5900 was a bit finicky, had to send it in to S & W for repair. It was returned with a new hammer which does not allow the shooter to cock it. The 5906 is a beast. I keep my eyes open in case one ever turns up in the local shops.

      Boot suggestions

      Muck boots. Get the brand name, not knock offs.

      PSA PA10 GenII comments and observations.

      If I buy one of these, do I need to have a local smith check or modify the headspace for 7.62 NATO? (seems to be available again as an inexpensive import)
