    GGRRRRRRr got a gun that's firing at about 2-5 fps over the limit
    consistently what a pain in the sack to need to do a spring change or cut a a coil or two off the spring to reduce it by something so small. we need +/- tolerances in Irish Law people!!! :(
    [EDIT I've now pieces of a gun spread out over the end of my bed ]

    If it's a linear spring, one coil or two will do it. I had the problem with my scar being 2-3m/s over and then it went down to 2-3m/s under when I took two coils off. I was very careful and the aeg is fine. You will need something strong to use on the spring though as I bent some clippers I tried before using something a little more powerful (bolt cutter :p).

    Edit: meant to say that I feel your pain

    I know that feeling I was squeezing the life out of a pair of clippers before
    the first time I tried to cut a spring and they snapped with barely a mark on the spring, so ever since Mr Dremmel comes out of the drawer. :)

    Looks like an interesting concept with some advantages, but at the same time way to expensive for avid shooters, military, and LEO.

    In this handout provided by NASA, sun spots are seen as the moon moves into a partial eclipse position after reaching annularity during the first annular eclipse seen in the U.S. since 1994 on May 20, 2012. Differing from a total solar eclipse, the moon in an annular eclipse appears too small to cover the sun completely, leaving a ring of fire effect around the moon. The eclipse is casting a shallow path crossing the West from west Texas to Oregon then arcing across the northern Pacific Ocean to Tokyo, Japan.

Fleet Week is an opportunity for Marines, sailors, and coast guardsmen to show the people of New York what the Navy, Marine and Coast Guard team is, what they do, and how committed it is to serving this country. Twenty-one U.S. and coalition ships and more than 6,000 troops will participate in the 25th anniversary of Fleet Week New York, a celebration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, May 23-30.

    Just saw this on Redwolf's FB page.

    The US Army, in their infinite wisdom, have come out and said that soldiers may only use the official issue magazines for their M4 rifles, which effectively reads as "Bye bye PMAG - it was fun while it lasted"

    U.S. Marines serving with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, to include their improvised explosive device detection dog, Cabella, prepare to go on shift at guard posts around the base here April 4, 2012. Colonel Roger Turner, the Regimental Combat Team 5 commanding officer, and members of his staff visited Marines aboard Patrol Base El Paso during a recent trip to several combat outposts in Helmand province's Marjah district.

    And… this will lees to troops requisitioning said mags from their quartermasters thus leading to the army buying then in bulk and reducing the cost for the average serviceman… maybe this was brought on by a mass Magpull addiction that riddled the us forces?
