Re: 2011s

And there is the Springfield Prodigy. I have one - and have put ~2k rounds through it and it has been great. I actually had it out today and put another few hundred through it with a friend. I paid ~1300 for a 5" model last year. Unlike many of the youtube clickbaits - I have had zero issues ou...

Re: Sportsman's Warehouse

it brings back memories of the same "hmmmm - this ain't good... " feeling that I got walking into Fry's Electronics about 6 months before they went under. The whole thing with Fry's was hilariously sad. The inventory kept decreasing - yet management was adamant in telling everyone (includ...

Re: Sportsman's Warehouse

Once they were going to be bought out by Bass Pro, it went down hill. They revamped the stores, then the deal fell through. They then decided to do their best impression of Bass Pro/Cabelas despite the buyout failing and it is the reason I stopped shopping there (mainly the i17 & Yorkshire locat...

Re: church camp road

The two times I have been there in the last few months they didn't have those plates up. Both times was mid day during the week so it wasn't particularly crowded - but there were some real "special" dingleberries there.

Re: Ultrasonic cleaner

I have a couple of these off amazon - both are white plastic outer shells with stainless insides w/ baskets. They both work great for what I use them for (one for 3d resin print cleaning, and another for automotive/garage use.) I haven't used them for gun parts - but everything else I have used them...

Re: Israel reverses stance on gun control

They didn't reverse their stance on gun control, just like the Ukraine didn't. They are basically hoping their unarmed citizens will now be an army of convenience. If they are victorious they will go back to the draconian laws they had - and from what I have gathered from some friends that live over...

Re: Quattro-15

Didn't they announce these things at a shot show 2-3 years ago. I wonder why we haven't seem much about them (youtube, etc.)

But it is DesertTech - kings of the missed release dates and vaporware.

Re: Springfield Echelon

I think the "argument" part of this thread is just another example of a certain someone trying to compensate for some serious s.d.e. and looking for a "I told you so" argument when he doesn't realize those always make him look like an a**. I have shelves of printed manuals, books...

Re: Springfield Echelon

I like to have a paper manual as well. I am not always in places that have internet, or sometimes I don't want to sort through the garbage on the internet to get an answer when I can just grab the manual. Often times the manuals have the parts breakdowns which can be super useful. It is like service...
