PSA used to be really good about shipping within 24 hours of the purchase. Once they blew up and became a huge retailer they slowed down to what they are now. I do not know of many firearms/accessories dealers that ship as fast as they used to. The volume is so high now it is unreal. But I agree; they could do something to tune up their notification/actual shipping timing. I hate getting the notification "a ship label has been created" email.

Yep, you got that right.

That's why I usually try to buy from Primary Arms because they ship as fast as Amazon and the shipping prices for me are super cheap since they are in the same fucked up shit-hole as me.

Rainier Arms and Brownells are also really fast as well. But Rainier Arms has been out of stock of a lot of stuff lately since they are moving to a bigger warehouse right now and they had those terrible gun laws passed in Washington (basically the police have to approve new firearm purchases and you have to surrender your health information to the state/surrender your HIPPA rights to the government in order to buy a firearm). So people were buying everything up they get could get before the law went into effect.

Just got an update. It will be here tomorrow per UPS tracking. Shipping from PSA not from Vortex. All in all not bad from when I ordered it to the anticipated receipt (less than a week).

Now I just need JP to hit me up. Funny how giddy a adult can get over a squirt gun order that's not even in production yet. I keep wanting to call JP and get my total, but I don't want to be a PITA like some customers can be so right now just trying to be patient as possible and let them respond to my e-mail inquiry when they get a chance. I'm sure they are busy given the current atmosphere lol

Texas Governor puts 10 NRA-supported laws into effect. READ MORE



SOURCE: NRA-ILA

New Laws Will Take Effect on September 1

Governor Greg Abbott has now signed all of the NRA-supported legislation which the Texas Legislature sent him during the 2019 session. Thank you to pro-Second Amendment leaders and lawmakers in the House and Senate for their work to ensure passage of these measures. Here is the list of NRA-backed bills which will become law on September 1:

House Bill 121 by Rep. Valoree Swanson (R-Spring) & Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) provides a legal defense for License To Carry holders who unknowingly enter establishments with 30.06 or 30.07 signs, as long they promptly leave when verbally informed of the policy.

House Bill 302 by Rep. Dennis Paul (R-Houston) & Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) prohibits “no firearms” clauses in future residential lease agreements and protect tenants’ rights to possess lawfully-owned firearms and ammunition in dwelling units and on manufactured home lots, and to transport their guns directly between their personal vehicles and these locations.

House Bill 1143 by Rep. Cole Hefner (R-Mount Pleasant) & Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) prevents school districts from effectively prohibiting the possession of firearms in private motor vehicles by limiting their authority to regulate the manner in which they are stored in locked cars and trucks — including by employees.

House Bill 1177 by Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) & Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) protects citizens from being charged with a crime for carrying a handgun without a License To Carry while evacuating from an area during a declared state or local disaster, or while returning to that area, and allows shelters which are otherwise prohibited locations to decide whether to accommodate evacuees with firearms in their possession.

House Bill 1791 by Rep. Matt Krause (R-Fort Worth) & Sen. Pat Fallon (R-Prosper) closes loopholes in the state’s “wrongful exclusion” law that cities, counties and state agencies have been using to restrict License To Carry holders in government buildings.

House Bill 2363 by Rep. Cody Harris (R-Palestine) & Sen. Brian Birdwell (R-Granbury) allows foster parents to store firearms in a safe and secure manner while making them more readily accessible for personal protection purposes. ?

House Bill 3231 by Rep. Travis Clardy (R-Nacogdoches) & Sen. Pat Fallon (R-Prosper) improves and modernizes the state’s firearms preemption law, curbs the ability of municipalities to abuse their zoning authority and circumvent state law to restrict the sale or transfer of firearms and ammunition at the local level, and allows the State Attorney General to recover reasonable expenses incurred when obtaining injunctions against localities which violate the preemption statute.

Senate Bill 535 by Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) & Rep. Dan Flynn (R-Van) strikes “churches, synagogues, or other places of worship” from the list of prohibited locations in the Penal Code, clarifying that these places have the same right enjoyed by nearly all other controllers of private property in the state to decide whether to allow License To Carry holders on their premises.

Senate Bill 741 by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) & Rep. Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) prohibits a property owners’ association from including or enforcing a provision in a dedicatory instrument that prohibits, restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting any person who is otherwise authorized from lawfully possessing, transporting, or storing a firearm.

Senate Bill 772 by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) & Rep. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) provides civil liability protection to business establishments which choose not to post 30.06/30.07 signs, making them less vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits and giving them an incentive to adopt permissive policies for the carrying of handguns by law-abiding citizens on their premises.

Lastly, there’s been a lot of coverage in the media lately about the state’s role in promoting gun safety and the following rider that was included in the state budget bill, which was also signed into law by Governor Abbott and which NRA did not oppose:

Statewide Safe Gun Storage Campaign. (Department of Public Safety) $500,000 in fiscal year 2020 and $500,000 in fiscal year 2021 in General Revenue to establish and promote a statewide safe gun storage campaign. The public awareness campaign shall begin no later than September 1, 2020. The public awareness campaign may include online materials, printed materials, public service announcements, or other advertising media. The public awareness campaign may not convey a message that it is unlawful under state law to keep or store a firearm that is loaded or that is readily accessible for self-defense.

NRA supported the award of a $1 million grant from the State of Texas to the National Shooting Sports Foundation for the distribution of Project ChildSafe firearms safety kits to Texas residents through a network of law enforcement and community partners. We appreciate Governor Abbott’s recognition of NSSF’s expertise in firearms safety and his effort to bring this proven and effective safety program, which is free of anti-gun rhetoric and bias, to Texas residents.

Good for you guys. Pretty easy to understand vs the legislation I always take w/a grain of salt because I'm no legal linguist.

I would of never thought you guys were previously barred from carrying on religious grounds. Glad you can protect yourselves now.

It has been legal to carry in church(wording was removed from the penal code, it was in conflict with CHL regs) and the new law allows you to carry no matter if the church prohibits it, unless they post those huge signs.

Works like a champ on scratches and stuff I pick up when hunting.

Have you used it? Is it just a overpriced sharpie or really different with more "stick" to it? I'm always having to touch up anodized aluminum & sharpie rubs right off.

Derp - just read you use it for hunting
Yeah I've used it on my .270, AR and my savage and it works like a champ.

Played around with the strike eagle for about an hr tonight. Pretty impressed by the illuminated reticle. Ive never owned or shot from one before so that's not saying much. Anything is an huge upgrade compared to some white out or yellow paint on my front iron sights - I have done both for low light plinking in the past lol

Fit and finish are spot on. Magnification dial is a little stiffer than I would expect but I'd rather it be stiff than loose. Now I know why people like adding dial levers to them but Ill never mess with that I suspect. Not looking to mod anything.

Well when ordering my .22 AR upper parts, I ordered a 9' CMMG barrel and an 8" SLR Ion Lite hand guard. When I put it all together, the hand guard was flush with the barrel. Great...well I didn't think it's be a problem to get the .22 suppressor off since it's just .22 right? Well the suppressor still carbon locks to the barrel. So I ordered a 7" SLR Ion Lite hand guard and swapped it out. I thought 7" might not work out either but it came out just right and I'm really happy with it.

I added a BCM vertical grip and MLOK grip panels since I'll be shooting this upper offhand a lot.

whats the deal with all the offset scope mounts I am seeing these days? My strike eagle came with one and they seem to be really popular, but I can't figure out why you would want anything offset if you have the room on the rail? I always looked at offset hardware as a loss of leverage but that's mainly on my daily door hardware (handles & pivots to be specific). Just trying to find out if it has a benefit I just don't know about due to my rookie gun knowledge. Minimizing heat transfer is the only thing I can think of and that could be totally wrong

Nope, heat transfer has nothing to do with it. It's offset so you can still have a full sight picture at maximum magnification (8x in your case). You don't want the scope sticking past the charging handle if you can help it.

Vortex can explain it way better than I can.
