A new ATI HDMI-capable graphics card for my 3-year-old PC. It allowed me to finally get the right connection to my HDTV for proper viewing and set the stage for me to finally get rid of my $CABLE$ and have DVR capability for OTA/ATSC local channels with WMC7! That has been the best $45 spent this past year! Sad, but true!

U Need less guns and more ammo. :) I burn through 500-1000 in day no problem.

I'm also thinking about one of the MSARs - outstanding balance much better than AR IMO and you can get them at Buds Gun shop for $982 right now!

Since you have LMT here is a shot of my LMT piston I have been using in 3 gun with a TA11F-G ACOG.

Wow! The MSAR I'm looking at here is $2k with the 1.5x scope and 45rnd mag. Stupid mags are ~$50 each.

Are you going to carry with the .45? I just got the kimber ultra carry and it's a godamn beautiful gun and shoots amazing right out of the box. I've only put about 100 rds through it so far but my friend has one that's been amazing. He also has a para p12 that's been doing great but they used to have some spring issues.

I don't have a carry permit yet. Whatever 1911 I get will have the 5" barrel. If I get a carry permit, I'd probably go with my 9mm Springfield.

WAY to high. ...$982 at buds, then go to Ratworxs for $22 42rd mags.

I went ahead and ordered since we talked last. totalled out less than $1200 for 5 42rd mags, weapon, and sling.

When it comes in I will cut to 17" then thread it RH 1/2" x 28 so I can use standard hiders/suppressors.

The pro carry from kimber has a 4" barrel and shoots great as well. It's a little cheaper than their 5" models IIRC.
