  1. If you can, hold off a couple weeks. The Nexus 5 (2015) is expected to be announced soon.
  2. Kia minivans have the most painful seats ever made
  3. I don't think you understand the idea of a throw down gun
  4. looks like a nice pile of throw down guns
  5. T-Mobile is great. Been with them a year and a half after having been with Spring for 12 years. I'll never go back. Look for a phone with LTE bands 2, 4, and 12 in order to stay future proof, but 12 isn't super important. Also, that deal you are looking at is going away on the 27th of this month so jump on it quick. http://www.tmonews.com/2015/06/t-mobiles-2-for-100-and-4-for-100-promotions-ending-soon/
  6. Regardless of the reputation Dodge trucks have, GM trucks love shitting out transmissions. And fuel pumps. And they try to murder you by way of brake line failure. Dodge trucks rust. Transmission failure rate really is no worse than GM trucks. I'll hang on to my 91 Ram forever. I hate Ford interiors. There may still be some floating around waiting to eject the spark plugs, but for the most part those are probably all fixed by now. Ecoboosts misfire when it rains. The best Ford trucks ever made were 92-96, with either the 300 I-6, the 302 or 351. I'd love to find one in good shape. Nissans rust. And ride/handle like shit. Original Titans had exploding differentials, that's probably been remedied by now. Toyotas are expensive as fuck. So long as you find one without frame rust it'll be perfect. I'd get a Jeep or an older Tundra. I still really, really miss the '01 Tundra I made the mistake of trading in back in '07 or '08. The last run of Cherokees are pretty cheap now, but pretty old. 05+ Grand Cherokees are coming way down in price. I had one, it was great but I couldn't afford to put gas in it with that 5.7. A 97-04 Dakota would also be a good, cheaper option. No, it's not.
  7. Shoot an M&P and Glock side by side, buy whichever you like better. It's pretty simple.
  8. 99+ Jeep Cherokee. Take it to a shop and have them replace any iffy front suspension components, otherwise it'll love you long time.
  9. One of our old time, but rarely posting members got scammed by a contractor to the tune of about $10,000 in HVAC work. Then a lawyer charged him $2500 to tell him that if he were to actually sue the guy, it would cost more in legal fees than he'd be able to win, and the guy probably wouldn't pay anything anyway. Be careful who you hire.
  10. 10 years ago $2,000 went WAY further than it does now edit: here ya go http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121978
  11. ATF recently decided that they no longer like pistol grip only shotguns, so right now we are in a holding pattern waiting to see what they do. While technically legal right now, the legality of that would be questioned by everyone that ever sees it, and in the near future could be deemed to be an unregistered short barrel shotgun. And its too expensive for how ugly it is. Either SBS a Mossy using one of the aftermarket receivers that can take detachable mags, or SBS a Saiga.

    Weed trimmer

    I need a new trimmer as well. From what I gather, you either want a Husqvarna, Stihl or Echo with a straight shaft. I haven't gotten around to buying one myself.
  13. I had Sprint from 2001 until late 2013. Sprint service was progressively getting worse so I switched to T-Mobile. I'll never go back. There's a reason why Sprint is slipping to 4th largest carrier in the country.
  14. Well, you can never just buy one. The more you buy, the lower each unit costs. I'd love to see the $36 Tapco lowers come back. There was a small run of them, most likely made on Grizzly LAR equipment since they are both part of Freedom Group. Great quality, regardless of the price.
  15. $45 plus shipping https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8913
  16. It's usually a good idea to test a lower to make sure its in spec before you go through with SBRing it. Build it and toss a 16" or longer barreled upper on it and run a couple hundred rounds through it. If its out of spec and you don't do this you'll be kicking yourself. Along with buying a Gun Envy lower (which are fine, I own one), you can choose from many different manufacturers have it shipped to Gun Envy pretty cheaply. Here are some options: http://midwestpx.com/index.php?cPath=92 http://www.aimsurplus.com/catalog.aspx?groupid=577&name=Lower+Receivers http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/lowers.html http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/AR_15_Lower_Receivers_s/3021.htm https://www.primaryarms.com/AR15_Lower_Receivers_s/5347.htm I've personally ordered stuff from all of these places, and ALWAYS been happy. I'd recommend not getting a polymer lower, like New Frontier. If you want a billet, MidwestPX and Joe Bob's both have their own branded ones very cheap. After looking at those links I noticed a couple brands I'm not familiar with, but for the most part everything they have listed is solid. For what its worth I've never heard of anyone having any problems with a Mega, they are great. I have 3 of my own.
  17. So long as you are present it's fine. You can't leave nfa stuff at a friend's house that isn't on the trust unless it is inaccessible to them, like locked in a safe that you have the only key for.
  18. No. When you first create the trust you are setting up a legally binding document that shows who created it (Settlor), Trustee (yourself, and anyone else you want to have access to the NFA items), and the beneficiary (person who inherits property upon execution of the trust). Everyone listed on the trust is able to possess the property in the trust as if its their own. It's usually best to stick with family members for this stuff, like if you have children list them as beneficiaries. In order for the trust to be valid it needs to be signed in front of a notary. There is a lot of disagreement over whether or not a trust actually has to have property to be valid. On the original list of property (this has different names depending on setup) I put the serial number of a two dollar bill and stuck it in a folder with all the paperwork. I'll never add anything directly to that page, instead I'll add amendment pages to include new stuff. When submitting my trust to the ATF for new items I won't have to include those amendments, just the original page. Do not add NFA items to your trust until they've been cleared by the ATF. I got my trust on sale from this place: http://199trust.com/buy/ Right now they are selling it for $80. I'm pretty sure Diamonds got his from the same place. I'm content with mine. Since you are wanting to do an SBR you'll want to efile a Form 1, which requires a trust to do. This route is MUCH faster than as an individual, or sending in your trust through the mail. Like 2 months (currently, but climbing fast) versus 6 or more. This is the point where you'll need the serial number of your lower. Keep in mind you'll need to get your info engraved on the lower. I used this place: http://www.veritasmachiningllc.com/#!nfaweapons/c1pl3 and had it engraved on the bottom of the mag well. Very happy with the work, and it was under $50 including return shipping. Gun Envy does engraving as well but they have limitations as to where they can engrave. Don't forget, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not giving legal advice. Just suggestions following my own personal experience.
  19. Back for now http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=477535106
  20. Yup, and I'm too stupid broke to buy one. FML
  21. Being that thin you could honestly conceal a fullsize OWB, I have a friend with a similar build who carrys a G17 OWB all day long and you'd never know. Sigs are great, but pricey. For a carry gun you really can't go wrong with either S&W M&P line or the Glocks. Both are completely reliable, reasonably priced, and accessories like holsters and mags are available everywhere for reasonable prices. Figure out what fits you best and run with it. Since Glocks don't fit you (same with me) try out an M&P compact or a Shield. Nice thing about the M&P compact is you can use a fullsize mag as a backup.
  22. yeah, I saw that after clicking through a couple times. I was on my phone when I posted that. Let me know how you like it, I won't have the money for one while they are being blown out. That's below dealer cost fyi.
  23. Aaaaaand it's gone If you are lucky the link to the new listing is still active. Like I said, got to be quick on this one.
  24. Get on this FAST. They don't last long. If I had the money to burn I'd have ordered 3 by now. Lots of people on ar15.com have bought these from this store, all with no problems. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=476046938 Looks like total price including stamp, shipping and transfer through Gun Envy would be just shy of $600.
