    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags Much appreciated. I hate to spend money on overpriced AI mags when I can get an even better American made version and support someone at the hide at the same time.

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags I appreciate the reply and I am sure you do know more on the matter, since you seem to know what is going on with Alpha. That said, do you know if Chris has a timeline when he is trying to get them out? I understand he had some problems with...

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags I didn't mean of a larger following over 300WM. Quit taking everything personally Knight. It's not an attack on anyone. I just wonder about these kinds of things. It isn't meant to be "trolling" just honest questions. I guess next time I just won't post any...

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags Yeah, I was impressed by the 308 mags a buddy has and it makes me want some 5 and 10 rounders for 300WM that much more. The stainless is perfect and the double stack for shortening the mags is an awesome feature and they seem better built than even the AICS...

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags By enlighten I meant, do you know of a larger following of the 408 crowd then perhaps I do? Again, if you read my post I was thinking from a business perspective. I just don't see being able to make a profit with 408 unless you charge a fortune, where if...

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags I fully understand the engineering and tooling part of the equation. I just found it odd that they show the 408 as being worked on but not the 300WM. I know a good number of shooters and very few are running chey-tac based rounds. I know quite a few who...

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    Re: Question about / for Alpha mags Sorry if it came off as arrogant. I guess I worded things a bit havey handed and will edit my initial post to reflect. I do not think anyone owes an explanation, just would like to know I guess.

    Question about / for Alpha mags

    I keep reading that Alpha is going to come out with mags for 300WM in the semi near future, and considering the ridiculous length and price of an AICS 10 rounder, I am awaiting anxiously. Today, I saw on the Alpha website it looks like they are coming out with one listed as 408. type 5...

    Need some shoe suggestions

    Re: Need some shoe suggestions If you have a running shop around you that would be your best bet. I was shocked when I actually went into an actual running store when I was still in the Army. They checked my stride for pronation/supination width and a dead on length. They knew exactly what...

    Leg Press = Cracked Rib

    Re: Leg Press = Cracked Rib I was always a big leg press guy. Form is hugely important though. Guys get lots of injuries on it. Seen knees get blown out and many a cracked rib. Even saw an ankle get broken once. The biggest mistake people make is slamming the weight up as quickly as possible...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Total Wreck! Clark Custom....

    Re: Total Wreck! Clark Custom.... wnroscoe, I agree entirely. He was quick on the trigger, with a shop's rep on the line, the expectation is high, and no the getting it right the first time is probably unrealistic. However you should catch that before you send it out. I personally check to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Total Wreck! Clark Custom....

    Re: Total Wreck! Clark Custom.... I'm not saying it would be smart on his part, but I expect my gun to have been given a complete shakedown prior to my 'smith handing it to me. It SHOULD be ready. Example:I had to deal with that kind of crap in the army. I go out zero and qualify, and run...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Total Wreck! Clark Custom....

    Re: Total Wreck! Clark Custom.... I have to agree the title is what caught my eye. It's a litle rough for what is wrong. However, as custom builds go, this should have never be sent out the door. Any one who does this for a living should take enough pride in their work to never let something...

    Re: Newb in SW Ohio looking for some advice. Was just on the TVP website. Can anyone confirm the newbie day on June 18th? Even if it's not, this would be probably be the first weekend I would be able to go anyway.

    Re: Newb in SW Ohio looking for some advice. Sorry to get back to you guys just now, after so much great stuff has been posted. School has taken all of my time the last couple weeks. My plan is to get up to TVP sometime after mid June once I have ditched school for the summer (yes, nothing...

    Newb in SW Ohio looking for some advice.

    Like it says in the subject, I'm new here. I was in the Army for 9 years, but was a dumbass and never got into shooting outside of on the Army's dime(I shot much more than my fill). Having gotten out in 09 I started missing it all so I have gotten back into it slowly but surely. I now have quite...

    Buying Gold/Silver?

    Re: Buying Gold/Silver? My biggest problem with the commodities market (besides the fact that the value of gold and silver is predicated upon a belief that someone else values it) is that even with the enourmous growth in gold and silver, you are going to be paying a large chunk in taxes at...
