Re: Did anyone go to the SAR show today? If so... how was it?

Of all things i scored a New In Box pair of Danner Fort Lewis boots in my size for $50.00
Add parking and entrance fee and the boots cost me $85.00 ,not bad since the msrp on them is
$450.00 these days.
OK Show.

Re: Turkish 9mm quality control still sucks

Whats the brand name on the box? I keep hearing good reviews.But all reviews seem to come from retailers that sell the ammo .
Ive been leery of buying turkish ammo but pricing some days make it very interesting.

Re: Thinking about FN FAL

Scottsdale Gun Club has a nice looking DSA Fal hanging on the wall.16" barrel
I used to have a Century Mutt that ran really good,sold it to an AZS member and have
regretted it ever since.That AZS member wont part with it for nothing.

Re: Rock island stk100

I looked at it,thought the grip was too fat for my hands.I ended up buying the Alpha Foxtrot G19 clone instead.Grip frame fits my hand much better than the STK,very happy with it.
