AR mags
Went to the Hamilton gun show. Here’s a lesson in shopping:
I go to the table that has all the military surplus. Theres 8 AR mags sitting in the bin.
Me: How much for the mags?
Him: Ten bucks each.
Me: Make me a better deal for all of them?
Him: Sorry.
On the other side of the room is a fella with a table full of misc gun stuff. Theres a stack of six AR mags.
Me: How much for the mags?
Him: I dunno…lemme think.
Me: Make me a deal for all of them.
Him: How about twenty bucks.
Me: I can do that.
So eight mags for $80 vs. six mags for $20. Given the current political clime what would you do? Precisely: drop $100, buy all 14 and average out your cost.
Specter 3-point slings
Someone, I cant remember who, asked me about three-point slings. The girlfriend was nice enough to get me a very nice one for my AR15A2 a couple years ago and I’ve been pleased enough with it to recommend it. The sling was from CQB Solutions which has changed its name to Specter.
I’ve ordered another sling for use with my HKlone and should probably get another for the Bushie Dissipator carbine I picked up a few months back.
By the by, theres a very nice illustrated tutorial on the various ways to use a three-point sling. I think most of you might find it interesting.
Permanent(?) MH link
www.zeroincorporated.com/mh
Thats the link to the permanent-for-now ordering page for the Montain House freeze-drieds. For now, its the ProPack pouches in ten different flavors (their entire line). Unlike last time, there is an option for ordering single (or, really, up to five) pouches but you get a better value ordering by the full case.
No time limit on this particular deal. Order whenever you want. All of it is on hand for immediate shipping.
#10 cans will be on there but not for a few months until the next group buy.

EDIT: Oh..and I received another 100 mags for my HKlone today. So a big, heartfelt ‘fuck off and die’ to the fine folks working to make HR1022 a reality.
Bushmaster gas-piston guns and uppers.
Well zowie!
I got the new Bushmaster catalog today and, surprise!, Bushmaster is making a gas-piston AR and they are alos selling a gas-piston upper. Looks promising. Bad news is that they want upwards of a grand just for the upper.
I like the AR platform for its ergonomics and modularity. Its reliability, however, isnt what Id like it to be and that is mostly because of its direct impingement system. Add a FAL/AK style of gas operation and I think you’ve got the a wonderful new beast.
I wouldvery very much like to get a review on one of these. I’d be willing to sell of a few of my current Bushies to get a couple with the new gas system.
Camillus closing
As I predicted/forecasted/warned, the folks at Camillus have closed their doors.
Fortunately, I did get not one but two of the knives I wanted from them.
BUT…I still need the TacTool.
Its sad that these good American knife companies are going under. I was in WallyWorld the other day and even some of the Buck and Gerber knives are mafe in China. Even if the Chinese did make quality stuff, I’d avoid it just on principle.
I think KaBar might be the last choice for a large sheath knife thats US made. We’ll see. I have a gun show this weekend to attend so perhaps there’ll be another Becker knife in the future if I come across one.
