    Nice write-up, and it looks like a very promising design. The speed that they created the design makes it even more impressive.

    Just to kinda throw a curve ball in here...
    Don't know if any of you are 10/22 fans...

    But around here on small pests birds,gophers,skunks,rabbits,squirrels,possums,and coons we like em and the kids sure love theirs..

    This new 10/22 receiver from Tactical Solutions...looks pretty neat...along with their bolt and handle....looks like Picatinny rail...

    I want a couple...I know the nephews will.....

    Wow....That's a fair bit of improvement over the M3 models.....

    ...Which means that maybe the M3 models will start going on sale and I can finally buy one!

    Goodie for me!

    Things I liked at SHOT

    I did a whirlwind day at SHOT today since I was sort of in the area between projects. These are some of the things I would reasonably like (meaning: may actually be a possibility/available some day) to take home.

    - The girl at the AmeriGlo booth. (This may be a tough one)
    - ELCAN Spectre DR. Very nice glass, nice reticle. Love the flip.
    - Mini Aimpoint or whatever they're calling it.
    - AAC Black Box and 416-SD
    - Magpul Masada and just about most other Magpul prods.
    - M&P 45.
    - HK 416/417 & HK45.
    - Colt 1033 (I think that was the number)
    - Troys M14 stock.
    - Vltor complete upper.

    ETA. - CCF alloy Glock frame & M&P 45.

    According to the Aimpoint guy we talked to, the only reason it's not rated longer is that there isn't a battery with a shelf life over 80k.

    Another side benefit of the show was that I got to meet Grant and, after years of corresposing via various forums, Shivan. Wish I had more time to spend with both of them.

    One problem I have with the new M4 Aimpoint, is the cost. For as much more as it costs than an M3/ML3, I could buy a life time of batteries and still be able to use whatever mount I wanted.

    I looked at it a bit. I like it. Feels really nice in the hand. I would consider possibly picking one up. Sorry I cant give me details on it though, as I didnt spend a lot of time messing with it.
