  1. Think again.

    1 workstation, 3 laptops, xbox, ps3, kindle, and 2 smartphones.

    Netbook....pppfftttt....now that's funny.

    Let me know when you're ready to come off the porch and run with the big dogs.

    :lol:

    Let me know when you are provisioning circuits off an OC-48 as your telco handoff, then I may be impressed.

  2. They should make it an SOP at every bank to have an employee check the ATM for even just a moment 2-3 times a day for this shit. Imagine how many peoples anger and $ they'd save by simply tasking an employee to do this a few times a day that have been taught proper education on what these look like and how they work. :drsuess:

    It's SOP for the folks that service it, the ATM techs and the cash handlers. That's usually how it gets caught.

  3. Thats not exactly true.. Ive seen vids from the ATMs of theives installing the skimmers. Allot of the new ATMs can be or already are tied into the overal survelience system of the Bank.

    WaltherGSP could probably provide details due to who he works for.

    1) It Depends on the bank if they are going to have a clue as to if your account was compromised. Some banks have really on the ball security dept's, some don't. As Flounder stated, they may not know how many times data was pulled off of that skimmer, also there is a trend for those things to broadcast that data via bluetooth so they run less risk of getting caught.

    2) It's very hit and miss. No, I've never seen it only active when a card is in. There is integration, but usually not quite like that. However, often your PAN may get recorded on the video for Loss Prevention purposes when you do insert the card. Also, whether its real video is hit or miss. Video is 30 frames per second and requires a lot of storage. I've seen a lot of security cameras (atm or not) only do 6-8 fps to cut down on storage if they feel they don't need full time video.

  4. Is the guy that bought a house with a mile long range in the backyard telling is we can't post fantasy gun stuff? :lol:

    If your post is meant to imply that shooting at a mile is fantasy, then I'd suggest your view of reality is skewed. If its a "hey asshole, you shoot in your backyard, don't ruin our (albeit overboard) fun" then carry on.

  5. Lol not looking to make a serious rig out of it. Just want a better trigger for now. But still wish it were a 308 just for the cheaper ammo. If it can get a inch group at 100-300 yards i'd be ok with that.

    In that case, you might be able to find a sporter weight take off barrel from someone upgrading for ~$50

  6. Thanks Tom. I have been looking into aftermarket parts some. How hard would it be to turn this into a .308?

    You would need to procure an action wrench, a set of head-space gauges and a new barrel. A few friends have done it and it isn't too big of a deal. That is the major upside to the savage action vs the remington.

    FYI this will be a slippery slope. First a barrel, then a stock, then new mounts/rings, new scope, new trigger, etc.... You'll eventually spend more than you have in your AR. I literally had a 2 hour discussion with R1douchenozzle on this very topic tonight.

  7. FYI, It's basically a less expensive Savage. You could eventually build that into a decent LR rig if you so desired. They sell pre-fit match barrels that you can basically put on at home, no gunsmith required (provided you can use a set of go/no go gauges).

  8. If its stevens, then I'm assuming its actually a Savage action. So in theory, anything that fits a savage will work. I have a rifle basix on my rem700 set to 2.5lbs and am very happy with it. Timney is generally considered the better of the two.

    I'm not one for sub 2.5 lbs triggers on hunting or LR target guns. I just don't feel its necessary. I've done .2 MOA groups with my .308 with the shitty factory trigger at roughly 4.5 lbs. FWIW, when I shot pistol competitively my heaviest trigger was 2.2 lbs and the lightest was ~50-75 grams (yes grams).

  9. I said lighter bullets. I never specifically said 55 gr, I said mine will shoot it fine. And the one sister I used to like is still dating that twat btw.

    In terms of rounds put through an AR, 55 gr is usually the lightest most users do,

  10. But it can happen. :)

    Just like your big sister could suddenly stop being a gianormous bitch. However, a 1/7 twist barrel causing an issue with 55gr ammo is orders of magnitude less likely to occur.

  11. Some folks think its to fast. Cheap ammo will actually come apart with the increased centrifugal force over a slower twist barrel. I have a 1:7 and it has shot plenty of 55 gr just fine.

    It's really only too fast when you are talking about the lighter weight bullets in 223. For your 55gr fmj 223 or 556 milsurp (xm193), its perfectly fine. Now if you put a super HOT 40gr varmitting load in there, sure you might overspin it. If one is that concerned, run your load data through a ballistic calculator, otherwise for your average user with an AR, 1/7 is just fine. For your user that wants to shoot further distances, a 1/8 or 1/7 is mandatory.

  12. The better question is what sort of accuracy are you looking for at 100/200 yards? Target/plinking or CQB? The strikefire (and various other reddots) is a 4MOA dot. So it covers a 4" circle at 100 and an 8" circle at 200 yards. Eotechs are 1moa dots in a 65 moa circle, so they cover 1" at 100 and 2" at 200. Still very quick in the sub 25y cqb type shooting, but a little easier to get better accuracy out of. I have an eotech on my m4, and even then, I hate doing any sort of precision stuff with it because I get slight haloing with red dots.

    My next 16" AR will probably have a 1-4x ffp scope with target turrets so I can dial or hold for specific distances.

  13. Msrp for all the add ons for this model would add up to $1551 they were selling them for $1100. I got this one for $899 +tax new.

    Nice. Sorry I kept missing you on the phone. That's probably the perfect setup for you. I'm interested in seeing how I like that rail on that.

  14. Crappy pic of what I just picked up from Dales. Spikes 10.5" with the mount for my Gemtech G5 (money sent in waiting to the .gov to give me my stamp back!!)

    Got to get $200 bucks saved up so I can put a stock on it.

    FYI, not sure if that magpul AFG counts as a foregrip, but if it does its not legal to have on a pistol, throws it into AOW category.
