    ND’d 9mm glock 19 indoors - hearing damage

    Not a doctor, but as others have expressed, I doubt one incident, AND you getting state of the art treatment is going to end badly. That said, I have some hearing loss from years of shooting (even wearing ear pro). I now double up with foam plugs and Sordins now to preserve everything I have...

    check out trexarms. they are selling a boatload of hesco 3810's. that's protection from most threats, good weight, available, good prices.

    Optics "Liberty Optics and Snipers Hide, Always a Great Match"

    Got my Gen2 Razor In, which I ordered just a couple weeks ago. (Thnaks Scott!). What's the status on LHT's? I ordered that several weeks before the Gen 2! (Gen 2 is beautiful, everything looks great)

    Optics "Liberty Optics and Snipers Hide, Always a Great Match"

    I work for a manufacturer (different industry).... Lack of flights to/from Asia is causing air freight to be either extremely expensive or hard to get scheduled... Shipping ports are congested and everything is taking weeks longer to get through b/c of COVID. All manufacturers (overseas or US)...

    I F'n despise Leofoto and other Chinese knockoff specialists

    Agreed, but take a look at the new vortex tripod and ball head... the similarity in the industrial design is... well... uncanny

    I F'n despise Leofoto and other Chinese knockoff specialists

    I’m curious about the groups thoughts on the new Vortex tripods and Ballheads... they are made in China and seem to be very similar to RRS / Leofoto

    Rifle Scopes Vortex/Night Force

    I had to supply my own AR when I was on duty... sucks, but small department... so I know the feeling. Vortex Razor Gen II is a great scope, and you can goto Liberty Optics to get hooked up with great pricing on it. It's heavy, but basically bomb proof. You DO NOT need to spent 3K on an optic...

    Binos; Forge? Or?

    I went with Swaros... but honestly the different isn't much. I would probably rate them Swaros, Meoptas, Forge... I haven't looked through the Athlons... but I'm a little nervous about purchasing from such a young company...Anyone can place OEM orders from China, Japan, etc... Already saw...

    Proof Research Barrel Order Lead Time?

    Ordered a Prefit for Rimx in July, and Proof just told me 12/10. Seems to align with what most others are saying. It's ok... the wait time has let me figure out what stock I want...

    Gunsmithing Aerosol Release Agent For Bedding?

    the Mclube 1700 stuff LRI sells is fantastic....nothing else I have used compares

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    LRI. A lot of other smiths do great work also, but LRI has another advantage...they are FAST. They can build a rifle in a week, where others take months.

    Member Link Up Louisiana members.. check in here.

    I forgot about that section...No, it's open as far as I'm aware, but I let my membership expire last year so I haven't been back... I honestly never got a real good answer on exactly when it could or couldn't be used.... I don't recall them having any steel, you had to bring your own and set it...
