Did any California residents receive the letter from the Attorney General about the [purposely done] CCW data breach?

I didn't get a letter, so I guess they don't save those that were not approved

Yeah, I think it's only those who were approved. I had one for a few years prior to joining law enforcement.

I want a .458 SOCOM!

The .458 and the .350 are both great calibers to have.
Prime example of hunting with an AR platform. The .458 is a great round for whitetail and hogs inside of 150yrds.

Some will tell you the AR is horrible for hunting…….or if you need more than 5 rounds you're a poor hunter.

Meanwhile those are the same folks with high end scopes who still can't consistently hit anything at 100+yrds.

If they are like everyone else - they will not. Price dictated on when we ship -- not when we take the PO. Too many cost increases since then to eat all that.

I think our oldest backorder right now goes back to April 2020. It's insane.

Good news - Atheris has finally started shipping out the rifles from our deployment group purchase a year ago.

Bad news - They only appear to send 5 at a time, and my 6.5 Grendel has not shipped yet.

Also, I'm over that "90 days" claim for electronically submitted can stamp approval window and still waiting on my can stamp to get approved

My bro was hunting boar near Lake Nacimiento. Our Cuz brought his buddy who was making ghosts, and let me bro pull a trigger when they finally showed up at the water hole near dusk.

Good thing my Cuz also had a tag, because my brother hit 2 with a single shot

That was some of the best backstrap I ever ate. We simply put it on the fire, Fire, FIRE!!! No flavoring at all, then passed it around the BBQ for everyone to get a bite.

That AR is so small you really crunch in and hunch a little bit to get a decent cheek weld; the buffer tube is a non-adjustable Strike Industries short pistol tube with an SB-MINI brace.

Leopard, here's the buffer spring update I recommend. It's the Armaspec Stealth Recoil assembly. I use it in all of my AR's with a standard length buffer tube. It's a drop-in unit and it works wonderfully.

Interesting opinion on zero distances. For those of you that shoot longer distances often, what do you think?

Thanks!

Btw. I just read on the range site that we were supposed to get $10 back for each of the target stands. We basically rented it. Best believe I won’t forget about it next time.
