NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

[actaeon277]

It's funny, the guys at work all planned to hit up Great Lakes for breakfast; as soon as the rain hit they all ran to their cars and left out. So here I sit eating breakfast all alone.

I was going to get breakfast.
But... I'm soaked to the gills.

Good to hear from you GB. Glad the hand is doing better. I love it when I have a lot of work (money) I hate it when I have a lot of work ( no fun) the money all seems to be gone when i have time to have fun. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.

ACT, does the rain steam when it hits you, like when it hits the ladles?

The first 1000 rain drops steamed. I was pretty hot after a double shift.
But, 1000 drops only took about 2 seconds in that downpour.

Yes, got it off of Amazon for $30. They had a mail in rebate along with it.

I got my 2 yesterday that I got off grabagun for only 25 a piece. Now to print off the rebate form and send it off.

Nice!! I guess two weeks ago they were $16 each.

Yeah I tried to get in on that one but it was too late. I got the white label ones whereas my gp100 has a yellow label. Supposedly there is a difference between the two. The only thing I see is that if you have the dot down below 5 it gets really hard to see when you get to 1, whereas the yellow label shows a decrease in brightness but not like the ones I got.

I didn't know there was a difference. I'll have to check and see which ones I got.

I think supposedly the yellow labeling on the side of the dot were older, yet some people still get them mixed in. Something also about Bushnell changing who made the red dot.

Whew, and now off for the weekend, kinda. Leaving Chicago is always nice.

Whenever coming home from Jessee Brown, when i see the arch on 80-94 I yell Yeeeaaa, Im Home!

 

[gunbunnies]

I owned two TR25's in the past and neither one could hold poa/poi... Hope whomever is making them now is doing a better job...

Sooooo picked up a Tavor... hoping to get to make some noise on a buds private range in La Porte County this weekend... Maybe even **** off the councilman over there that were pushing through the draconian ordinance to keep people from shooting on their own property....

Still can't run the reloader... it's killing me to sit and watch the boxes of bullets, brass and powder just sit there next to the blue press and not become range ammo.... Pretty soon hopefully...

Well, it was supposed to be finish up, but what's one more midnight.

The trs on my GP100 has probably been through around 500-600 rounds with no issues.

 

[gunbunnies]

I gave up on them after that.... for cheap optics I went to the Vortex dots and have been pretty happy...

I'm wanting to replace the Burris FastFire on my GP100 with a Trijicon RMR but I just got the Tavor so that won't happen for a while...

 

[aclark]

Feel like I've been packing forever and still not completely done. Picking up a uhaul Monday after work and loading it up, closing and moving Tuesday, and hopefully unpacking Wednesday. This needs to be over with already.

A beautiful night for some front porch sitting.
