Thanks, you can throw credit towards Scott for the graphic, I came up with the name... We've got some things in the mix for some ideas with it... =)

I know where there are several. We had one about five weeks ago. Good choice!

XD is a good gun, but is it the best? Glock is a good gun, but is it the best? 1911 is a great gun, but is it the best? All guns are as different as the people behind them, just as all cars are as different as the people behind them. The answer is get what you like and what feels best for you. If it feels good to you, you will most likely shoot it the best. You wouldn't want to drive a car you hated would you? Consider it the same with a gun, because it is potentially even more important. Remember some day it just might be the gun that saves your life, or the life of someone you care about. Consider what's important to you!! Any gun in a person who is properly trained can ruin the rest of what is left of forever for the opposing. We can argue all day long about what car is best and what gun is best, but it's what you choose to live with... and defend your life with that matters. Just make sure the damn thing works right before you load it and stow it away! (If you don't plan on shooting it regularly).

I've known Eric for some time and he's a great guy. I forgot you had to post an intro here and he did a fantastic job. I would have expected nothing less from him!

Not bad to sticky it or something like that... I field these questions all day at work. It gets annoying after the 25th time, but at least people are doing what they should have been doing all along...

Less than 60 Shopping Days left until the Big Gun Grab: It’s been a week and a half since Barack Obama was elected president. He won’t take office for another two months. But he’s already got one big group of Americans on their feet. What is Barack Obama’s position on the rights to bear arms? Sen. Obama’s campaign Web site says he “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms.” It promises he will “protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport and use guns.” Seeking to reassure gun owners, Obama told a campaign audience in Ohio in October: “I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away.” But the crowds mobbing America’s gun stores this week say a large number of Americans – including first-time gun-buyers – don’t believe it. In 2003, while serving in the Illinois State Legislature, Barack Obama voted in favor of a bill in the Judiciary Committee that would have made it illegal to “knowingly manufacture, deliver or possess” so-called “semi-automatic assault weapons,” reports Chris Cox, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. “Under this bill, a firearm did not actually have to be semi-automatic to be banned. According to definitions in the bill, all single-shot and double-barreled shotguns 28-gauge or larger, and many semi-automatic shotguns of the same size, would be banned as ‘assault weapons.’ “Any Illinois resident who possessed one of these commonly used guns 90 days after the effective date would have had to ‘destroy the weapon or device, render it permanently inoperable, relinquish it to a law enforcement agency, or remove it from the state.’ Anyone who still possessed a banned gun would have been subject to a felony sentence.” In an April television debate, Sen. Obama argued someone else on his staff improperly filled out a 1996 questionnaire stating support for a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns – even after ABC News’ Charlie Gibson told Obama “Your writing was on the questionnaire.” And the National Shooting Sports Foundation sent out mailers last month warning that – while in The U.S. Senate – Sen. Obama voted for versions of Senate Bill 397 that could have bankrupted gun manufacturers by allowing them to be sued for misuse of their products (“equivalent to holding car makers responsible for drunk driving”), as well as for a 500 percent tax increase on guns and ammo and a ban on virtually all deer-hunting ammunition. Americans aren’t waiting to see which Barack Obama takes office in January. They’re voting with their feet, and their billfolds. Glen Parshall of Bargain Pawn in North Las Vegas reported Wednesday that sales are “through the roof. I can’t get anything. I mean handguns, rifles, ammo, you name it. Ammo’s doubled in (wholesale) price in the past week if you can find it. I had a line of people waiting for me this morning when I showed up for work, waiting to buy AR-15s. Everybody’s fearful of the messiah, very, very much fearful, I mean hanging their heads and cannot believe he got elected fearful. “We had that rush in ’94 when they passed the first so-called assault weapons ban, but that’s nothing compared to what we’ve got going on now. I mean, people come through the door asking me ‘If I buy this now, they won’t be able to confiscate it next year, will they’? I tell them ‘My crystal ball is in the shop.’ “My biggest distributors nationwide, they’ve got a strict allocation of two AR-15 rifles per week per dealer – if they get them. Everybody wants ’em. Brownell’s is out of everything: nuts and bolts and screws. I just got done ordering a few barrels and upper receivers a few nights ago, but they’re out of magazines. I can’t buy a Glock anywhere in the country except the oddball ones, weird calibers or the ones in green with orange slides, things like that. I did find a couple ARs last week, match rifles that go for $2,000, I’ve got those coming in for customers. “In October before this all started, my sales were approximately double what they were last October. This week it’s up more than that, and it’d be a hell of a lot higher if I had anything. People are looking for handguns, looking for rifles, looking for magazines. “Ammunition? 7.62-by-39 was $180 a case last month, now it’s $350 for a (thousand-round) case. .223 was $300 a case, I haven’t been able to find any, but it would run me over $400 if I could get any. A guy across town got in two pallets” (about 100,000 rounds) “of 9 millimeter, it lasted about a day and a half. It’s absolutely mind-boggling. I’m still selling a lot of revolvers. I can’t get short shotguns.” But why do his customers believe Democrats impose more gun bans, we asked Mr. Parshall, who’s sold guns and gold in this town for decades. After all, aren’t crime rates highest precisely where law-abiding citizens are barred from carrying weapons for their own defense? “That’s not what they care about. They’re socialists. They want to be in total control. They want to confiscate – that’s their word – all the IRAs and 401-Ks, put them in a government fund paying you 3 percent interest. People are afraid.” “People are terrified of losing their right to protect themselves,” DeWayne Irwin, owner of Cheaper Than Dirt, a large gun store in Ft. Worth, Texas tells the Chicago Tribune. “The volume is ten times what we ever expected. It started with assault rifles, but at this point, people are buying ammunition, high capacity magazines, Glocks – it’s all flying off the shelf. With the economy the way it is, people are worried about instability. They are scared of civil unrest.” “Why are white people buying assault weapons?” asks Ben Agger, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Arlington who wrote a book about the Virginia Tech slayings. “I almost hate to say it, but there is a deep-seated fear of the armed black man, because Obama now commands the military and other instruments of the justice system,” Professor Agger told the Chicago Tribune, a newspaper which routinely refers to semi-automatic rifles as “assault rifles,” which they are not. “They are afraid Obama will exact retribution for the very deep-seated legacy of slavery,” Professor Agger figures. Oh, please. What we’re seeing in the gun stores this week is not a nation arming itself for revolt, but Americans in a thoroughly defensive mode, stocking up now to avoid the Democratic gun bans they believe are coming. What many Americans fear is that Barack Obama – aided by congressional allies like Senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Charles Schumer of New York – will revert to his true, pre-campaign nature come Jan. 20, and once more move to take away Americans’ guns. Obama “says he’s in favor of common sense gun laws,” says DeWayne Irwin. “Well, what people up north think is common sense is something different from us down here in Texas. The criminals have all this illegal stuff. I don’t want to fight them with a handgun if I can get an AK. I’m entitled to that. I should be able to defend my home.” “We’ve had a lot of people concerned because our president-elect is extremely anti-gun and so is his running mate,” says Jerry Bricco, owner of First Class Firearms in suburban Zion, Illinois. “They’re afraid of future gun bans and what you will be allowed to get.” After all, Democrats have tried before. In fact, a notable public figure said after Republicans recaptured Congress in 1994 that that happened precisely because Democrats tried to take away Americans’ guns. Who was that insightful analyst? Bill Clinton.

If you still have this Weds next week, I'll bite.

Get at me with what you'd like out of it.

I agree with the amp, not the sub.

Hey Mitch thanks for the response! I can definitely do that. I see you're in Dublin, when would be good to meet up with you?
-
15" 5x114 or 14" 5x114 would work. As long as they can be balanced, I'll be happy. Let me know what you've got!

bump it up

95 Civic Coupe, DOHC Vtec Swap, Clean...more details inside
cinergi replied to DaddyBuiltRacing's topic in LBTS GLWS
Mileage on the engine/tranny? -
10 and I have that number already, sans CR. Supply is dictating demand right now and people are paying the price. Fear is a great motivator.
-
I have a large amount of lowers and assembled guns already, but I figured I could pass some savings on to some others. Price doubles for those who voted this into happening.
-
I know, I am not really happy about it, either. I called AIM and they told me 6 to 8 months. Anyone in for a group buy of LRB lowers? They will be less than 105 a piece...
-
MP15 lowers in stock... Got 10 of them 5 mins ago.

You can't just join and post on ohio hondas, either... have to have x amount of posts for a $ sum...
