At least the like to dislike ratio and comments on the video did give me some hope in humanity. I'm surprised comments and the like counter are still visible.

I just ordered a https://www.steiner-defense.com/lase...series/dbal-a2
It is a used one that I want to play around with on the AR platform. Anyone else have one of these?

Is it a real one? I thought they were only sold to LE/Mil.
Edit: Well at least that specific version. There are CIV friendly versions (has to do with laser power) but at closed to $1500 i wouldn't buy one. Other more affordable options out there.

Well, hmmmm... I'm not sure I need one of these, but it would be interesting to have. The cost would be a factor, but I've read that you should spend as much on optics as you spent on the rifle.

Decisions, decisions.... do I run an EOTECH on my ARs or do I put specific optics on each rifle for specific purposes? My AR-10 I consider my 500yd+ rifle, so a good variable power scope would be best. My 6.8 SPC I consider a mid-range (200-500yd), so I could either go iron sights or a variable scope (or both). The 300 BLK (pistol & spare upper) I consider close quarter (house clearing and up to 150 yds, so laser or a good RDS would probably work best. Ugh.... too many choices....

Holly chit! The prices some people want for gun powder. 8lb jug of Hodgson H1000 is going for $1000 on gunbroker.com.

Yeah, everything is stupid expensive right now. I picked up some factory second bullets for my 6.8 from Midway. They don't look too bad to me.... and they were reasonably priced.

That's some seriously messed up prices.

Luckily I have plenty of powder, but I am running out of small pistol primers. Those seem to be in the same category as gold right now.. FFS. The Steiner DBAL I have is in good shape. It is a white light/ Red laser and built to last. I did not get a remote switch for it, so I am going order one of those. The purpose of this would be for close quarters/dark encounters .

That sucks. Anything gun related I'm looking to see if it is in stock before ordering it. Some things have ridiculous lead times. I'm hoping things will settle down soon but I fear that regardless of who wins the election things will not.

Electronics are the same way. I have been waiting for a soundbar from the beginning of August. Took me almost 4 months to get two marantz receivers. But that had more to do with the Virus. I think the gun stuff became scarce because of the riots and looting.

That's for sure. I needed a set of iron sights for my 300 BLK pistol and wound up getting the front sight from one place and the rear sight from some where else. Thankfully, they are the same color...

I can get 30-06 ammo all day, but can't find any 308 or 223. I really don't want to tote around a 1903A3 Springfield bolt action, but.....I can take out targets 600 to 1000 yds away.... The recoil is a bit much for my skinny butt....

Buckle up, boys... it's likely to get bumpy over the next 2 weeks or so.
