Re: Cabela's - Ultramax Bulk Ammo

Cabela's sign your paycheck? I checked several sites before I bought, sites that carried brands other than Ultramax and they all noted that the rounds were either all brass or might include some nickel plated brass. Cabela's made no note of nickel plated brass and showed a picture that included all ...

Re: Cabela's - Ultramax Bulk Ammo

The good news is that I am over it, just happen to be over Cabela's as well. Your points on returns are valid and I would totally agree in virtually all cases. In this case where they misrepresented the product they could have at least done something reasonable to make it right, even if it wasn't ta...

Cabela's - Ultramax Bulk Ammo

I bought 1,200 rounds of Ultramax remanufactured ammo for my two .357 Sig pistols thinking it would be inexpensive rounds to shoot and the brass could then be reloaded. I do not like nickel plated brass to shoot or reload so I passed on other brands of bulk ammo that indicated some rounds might be n...

Re: First time out with new AR-15 w/ pics

I've got the Magnus AFG on my cabinet too and really like it. But those kinds of things are often subjective. What works for me might not be the best choice for you. That said, what clinched it for me that I had made a good buy is that all of my friends who have handled it also like the way it feel...

Re: First time out with new AR-15 w/ pics

I finally got to the range with my new CMMG bargain bin AR-15. They say when you buy it the lower can be any one of several different brands, but mine came with a CMMG lower. I've added the A.R.M.S 40L rear sight and UTG rail system that I purchased from The Annoyed Man, a UTG vertical grip, and a ...

Re: April 2010 applications

My status changed to "mailed" on Friday. I live in Houston and thought surely the Pony Express would get here from Austin by Monday. Apparently, that horse stopped for water along the way and now after the mail has arrived on Tuesday, still no plastic. I'll be looking out the window all d...

Re: Brother-in-law status

Don't lose sight of the fact that is six week period is right on the heals of the Census process in early May. Reports were that that period when the FBI shut down to do Census fingerprints was going to add about two weeks to the process until they got caught up. If that is correct, I would think th...

Re: May 2010 Applications

Is the federal government really moving faster than Texas state government? Don't loose sight of the fact that passport applications don't carry anywhere near the background check the CHL does and the passport has no review of fingerprints. I also suspect that the rush for passports that existed a ...

A lot of good movement lately! It would appear that any backlog created by the FBI shutdown for Census Taker work has cleared and they are getting back to something closer to 4-5 weeks than 6-8 weeks. Congratulations to all!

Half black or less is seemingly sufficient to qualify as the first black President, don't know why it wouldn't qualify here! :lol::

Re: April 2010 applications

Thanks for all the encouragement. I know that I am not the only one that is getting agravated at how slow DPS can be, but then I look back at some of the extreme waits people had to endure in the last couple of years and realize that we ain't really doing too bad. :txflag: While it is no consolatio...

Unless it gets held up by the Postal Service, my guess is you will have it early next week.
