The Grey Man: Payback
Just finished Jim Curtis's newest book,
The Grey Man: Payback
My thoughts: Buy it. Read it. It's worth every penny and more.
Jim is a life long shooter, and one of the good guys. He's a man who keeps his back covered, and his experience shows through in his books.

Storing a weapon close to hand..... an attractive option.
(It has taken me a year.... but I finally ordered more of these magnets. Home circumstances have changed, and there is opportunity and reason to be creative in tool storage.)
So... when I was a kid, my buddy (both of us were shooters) mentioned his dad kept a .357 under his mattress. Being kids, we had to go look. This involved lifting the corner of the mattress and just looking... NEVER touching..... Oh My God. That was unthinkable.
More to the point, keeping a weapon close to hand during the night was something just understood by everyone I knew at that age. Whether it be a handgun in a nightstand, a shotgun just inside the closet, or a S&W under the mattress like my buddies dad, pretty much everyone had a weapon nearby in case something went KaBump in the night.
True to my upbringing, I've been
that way myself since the first .22 came into my boyhood life. The only thing that's changed are the weapons themselves, and how much more careful I am about where I keep them.
The idea I'll show here is not one for people with immature folks in the house. Be they children, or just those who forgot to grow up, weapons need to be kept from those without judgement enough to be responsible and safe.
That said, there's ways, and then there's ways..... and here's one of them.
Setting up a new bedroom, and bed, in our home, I was thinking of exactly what and how I wanted to keep there. The room is minimalist, and will stay that way. Being so, anything extra would simply stick out like a sore thumb. There are only a couple logical places to keep a weapon, and one of them is the tried and true "Under The Bed".
The thing is, with the room design and the bed design, the firearm could not go between mattress and box spring, as this bed does not have both. With the polished wooden floors, simply putting something under the bed isn't going to work either.
Whatever I decided to put there.... it needed to be
under the bed, and attached to it. That left a number of options, and I settled on what might be the most versatile one.
I ordered up a
Flat Magnet
from Amazon, for dirt cheap.
If you order from that link,
get ONE m
agnet, not two as shown!)
Able to support way more weight than I needed, it offered a very comfortable margin of strength for this job.
With the magnet mounted to a small wooden board, it went between mattress and metal platform, giving me a 3" round high strength magnet mounted under the bed from which I could hang any blessed thing I please.
While it's strong enough to hold a riot gun all by it's lonesome, stability would require two magnets. At this time, I stayed with just the one, which will nicely hold almost any pistol I own. The Ruger with a stainless slide and alloy frame, that one is a bit sketchy, but just about everything else clamps on beautifully.
While there are manufactures out there making magnetic units designed specifically for mounting out of sight and holding a handgun, they can get rather pricey.
The magnet I used here is less than $10, and careful shopping can beat that price too. Designed to be mounted by way of a bolt hole drilled in the center, they can literally be put wherever imagin
suggests. Held on by bolt, screw, or even double sided mounting tape, the magnet can be attached almost anyplace out of sight that a person can reach.
Under a desk, behind a cabinet, on the inside of a closet door or inside the closet over the door. Under a bed, behind a head board, or maybe the back of a sock drawer.
Some care should be taken to protect the firearms finish, but this can be as easy as a 4" square of wax paper between magnet and firearm.
Obviously, if small children are in the home or come to visit, the weapon should be retrieved and locked up.
As for me, I think I'm going to order another eight or ten of these, and get creative......

Sometimes the decision is so easy......
It was marked $299 in the case. Used, on consignment. Minor holster wear... not a safe queen. It has been carried a bit, but not abused.
The box is not the original, but I believe it's correct for the model and (roughly) for the build date.
Do I NEED another snubby? No....
Could I pass this one up? NO....

Chuck busting on the cheap... the Savage 93r17
'Tis woodchuck season again here in the Commonwealth, and those fat crop munchers are swarming with a vengeance this year. They are literally everywhere, slowly and inexorably mowing their way into newly planted fields and pastures.
The Fat Man has been punching out chucks since the tender age of 12, with dad cheering him on. Every woodchuck smacked in the ear with a .22 was one less digging holes for horses to step in, or leaving cleanly mowed pathways through the fodder.
This season, I'll be keeping this little rifle in the car, along with ammo and a decent pair of binoculars. A Savage 93r17 of some years age, it's one made before the accutrigger came into play. With it's bull barrel, this 17hmr laser is just plain accurate. One hole groups at 50 yards are common, given a good rest and some trigger control. Half inch groups at 100 yards are it's normal offering, using Hornady 17 grain polymer pointed ammunition.
This rifle retailed at $199 a few years ago, and comparable rifles can be had for $250 any day of the week. Add in $50 worth of Weaver steel rings and bases, and an $80 BSA scope, and it's a 150 yard woodchuck killing machine for under $350 out the door.
.17hmr ammunition is available, and not expensively. Typically around $13 per 50 rounds, it's almost a steal given the performance of the round.
To put the cartridges performance into perspective, the first 50 round box purchased with the rifle accounted for 38 woodchucks, one shot each, and also the initial sight-in with a new scope. Those shots ranged from 30 feet to 125 yards, and in every case the creature never more than quivered after the hit.
The BSA scope is a new addition this season, replacing the 4x32 Simmons cheapo bought with the rifle. The 3x12 BSA is a cheap one itself, retailing around $80. No, it's not a stellar optic.... but it's perfectly fine for a rimfire trunk gun that is likely to see more than a little indifferent handling.
A nice feature on the BSA 'Sweet 17' optic is the adjustable objective, offering the ability to dial in a decent focus on the target. Many scopes that are preset to focus at 100 yards fail miserably in clarity when shooting at 25 yards. The reverse can be true of dedicated rimfire scopes which don't offer adjustable focus.
Of somewhat less usefullness, but of a certain..... 'optimistic quality', is the bullet drop compensating vertical adjustment turret. It STARTS at 100 yards..... for a cartridge I consider to be effective out to 150 yards at best. Yes, hits can be made at farther ranges..... but it's pushing the envelope to shoot game past 150 with the .17hmr. That's my honest opinion, for what it's worth.
In any case.... there it is. The bargain basement chuck buster that will live in my trunk over the next few months. Cheap, accurate, dependable, cheap, fun, and cheap.

Enjoyed a few moments today with 'No Excuses', an exceptional rifle.
This is the rifle/scope combo that allowed me to shoot a 238/250 on the Appleseed course....
This afternoon I enjoyed a simple moment on the back patio, putting a few magazines-full down range onto paper.
Townsend Whelen said "Only accurate rifles are interesting". While I may not go that far, I will agree that rifles of this accuracy are fascinating.
When the Ruger 10/22 Target model came home with me from
The Collectors Gunshop
, the idea was the rifle would be my ticket to Appleseed nirvana. After all it has a target bull barrel, a great trigger, a super stiff laminated stock perfect for sling use, and is already set up to mount an optical sight... something my aging eyes require.
The day it came home, an Eotech found it's way onto the Ruger's included Picatinney rail, and immediately the rifle began demonstrating an amazing capacity for accuracy. So much so, in fact, that not mounting a quality optic on the rifle would almost be a sin. Towards that end, the knowledgeable folks at Collectors guided Carteach towards a new offering from Nikon... Specifically, the
Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 3-9 x 40
Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 3-9 x 40
is designed for the .22 rimfire and Air Rifle market, and is an exceptional piece of work. Investigating the scope, I discovered Nikon makes an 'EFR' model, so named for it's 'Extended Focus Range'. Th
at's a feature The Fat Man can snuggle up to, being able to dial in and focus a crystal cl
ear sight picture anywhere from 15 yards all the way out to 300 yards. In keeping
with it's intended use of relatively close range target shooting, the scope has click adjustments equaling 1/4" at 50 yards, or 1/2" at 100 yards.
Obviously, the scope will also work just fine for other calibers than .22, and I have read of them being used on varmint rifles in the .223 category quite succesfully. I have my
own plans on buying another and mounting it on my Savage .17 HMR, to enhance it's already substantial ground hog eradication powers.
Do I like this scope? Oh... I don't know.... Is it possible to fall in love with an optic?
YES! I Like this scope!
I want a few more exactly like it for other rifles!
Now.... how to mount this spectacular scope on the tack driving Ruger 10/22 Target? Here again, the folks at Collectors had an answer, as they introduced me to the
'Reaper' mounting system. This one piece mount is specifically machined to fit the rifle, and eliminates the idea of mounting bases on the rifles, and then rings to the bases. Improper alignment is all but impossible, and the rings need not be trued to fit before bolting in the scope.
The Fat Man contacted the owner of DNZ mounts down in North Carolina and talked with him about the mounts history. It
seems it all began back in the 80's when he wanted a quality mount for a muz
zle loading hunting rifle. In the
finest American tradition
he machined his own.... and the 'Game Reaper' mount was born. Last year they shipped 60,000 units...... yes, I said 60,000 units.... and Carteach had never heard of them till Collectors hit him
with a clue bat.
DNZ Reaper line
has about sixty different offerings in it, each designed and built to perfectly fit a specific rifle. The
y also have a number of offerings built to fit AR carry handles and Piccatinny rails. Now that I have seen how well this mount works, I'll be swapping over a few other rifles to DNZ setups. The pricing on them makes this reasonable for the quality you get, and the one piece design is strong and stable.
Carteach's Ruger proved no hassle at all in mounting the
DNZ mount designed for it
. In fact, it took less than five minutes to unpack the mount and have it secured to the rifle using the provided hardware and
tool. Installing the scope took another ten
minutes, what with all the fussing about eye relief, levelness, rechecking everything, etc... etc.
It almost seemed too easy, but not twe
nty minutes after unpacking the scope and mount, shots were going down range as it was all sighted in. Less than five rounds put the bullets hitting exactly where they were pointed. The Nikon's specially designed adjustment knob made this even easier, and once the scope was zero'ed, the dial was simply lifted to unlock and then set to 'zero'. Targeting adjustments from there are a snap. The idea is... get the rifle dialed in, and then set the adjustment knob back to '0'. After that, it can be dialed up and down as needed depending on the targets range, but always returned to the original zero.
Five rounds to sight in.... and the next five rounds did THIS:
After shooting this group (while simply resting the rifle on the porch rail out back), the scope was then adjusted through it's power range, shooting three more groups... each at a different setting. The groups looked like the targets had been run through a copier.... each exactly the same size, in exactly the same place.
The Ruger 10/22 target model is spectacularly accurate. The
Nikon ProStaff Rimfire
is startlingly clear and precise. The
DNZ mount
is rock solid. Put it all together, and the package is.... perfect.

Brightening the darkness......
There is something to be said for commonality of equipment. That something is this: "Keep all the widgits the same from one weapon to the next, and maybe you won't forget how to work them when the SHTF."
Towards that end, The Old Fat Man has caused his defensive shotgun to grow a flashlight pretty much in exactly the same place as his carbine. Not only is it in the same place, but it works the same and feels the same.
Of course, it took different hardware, but in today's age of rail that's not a big deal.
It began with the rail mount, and this one is a
unit made for 12 gauge shotguns. It clamps to the magazine tube, and so far I have not managed to budge it after several large handfuls of heavy buckshot through the weapon.
The mount provides three rail positions; right, left, and underneath the tube.
After that, what more can one say about it? It's simple, reasonably priced, easy to put on, and tough enough to do the job.
Next, the flashlight and mount. In this case, both are
made, and procured from Amazon.com.
The mount is a well thought out rig that allows for flashlights of different diameters to be fitted. The center bolt tightens the mount to the light, while the outer bolts tighten the mount to the rail.
Mounting the flashlight to the rail mount is nothing more daunting than sliding it in and tightening the bolt!
If the flashlights bezel and cap are too big to slide into the mount, simply unscrew one and then slide the flashlight in.... reassembling the light after it's in place.
I found it best to attach the mount to the rail first, and then install the light in it. All three bolts are then tightened with the supplied tool.
The rig fits solidly.... VERY solidly... and does not move at all under heavy recoil.
In use, the flashlight's rear activation button lines up very nicely to the shooters thumb as the fore hand controls the slide. I have no issue controlling the light this way on either shotgun or carbine.
Remote switches are available, and can be screwed on to replace the flashlight's tail cap, with a short cord and a pressure switch mounted to the slide. These work...... but....(and it's a BIG but)..... I have problems with cords and wires hanging off the side of a weapon. Biggest of these is the 100% surety that I will rip it the hell off at the very first opportunity. There is no 'chance' involved here. I KNOW what will happen.
No..... The Fat Man will stay with a simple button to turn his light on. Even then, a back up flashlight will be at hand..... just in case I knock the weapon light clean off it's mount by 'accident'.
So now all three home defense weapons have lights mounted on them.
, Carbine, and shotgun. BRIGHT lights. BLINDINGLY bright lights.... and I practice with them often.
Next, I will be mounting one on the S&W 15-22 play/training rifle.... and increasing the commonality factor just that much more.

Review: The LaserLyte V4 rail mounted laser....
Some time back, I took a look at the
LaserLyte FSL-3
itty bitty rail mounted laser. Now I'm doing the same with the latest/greatest version, the
LaserLyte V4 Laser
There are a bunch of rail lasers out there, so it's really all about the features. With both these units, size is the key. Both the older FSL-3 and the new V4 are pretty much the smallest effective rail lasers on the market. In terms of taking up landscape on a weapon.... they just don't use much.
The V4 is slightly larger than the FSL-3, but not enough to make a big difference. In trade, it's edges have been rounded off and it's a very smooooth gadget, offering no nasty sharp bits to dig in while carrying.
Like the FSL-3, the V4 has a feature I approve of greatly.... it is programmable for either a solid red laser, or a pulsing beam.
Personally, I find the pulsing beam to be a much quicker pickup to my eye. I just see it faster, and can align it to the target faster. That's a good thing, right?
Using the pulse beam also doubles battery life, a healthy 10 hours even with the tiny itty bitty little watch batteries this thing uses (LaserLyte includes spares with every unit!).
The V4 also maintains the auto-off feature of the FSL-3, giving a flickering warning of impending offness after five minutes of solid use.
I think LaserLyte has also made an upgrade on the adjustment system of the V4, since I found it dead easy to get a perfect sight alignment with it. Much easier in use than the FSL-3, which I found a bit persnickety in how it needed to be adjusted. Both hold adjustment... well..... forever, but the V4 was easier getting there to start with.
The V4 uses two activation buttons on the back of the unit. One on each side, so righties and lefties are both served equally well. For me, either are usable, depending on where my trigger finger is. When I mount the laser on the rail of my M&P 15-22, it's buttons fall under the thumb of my support hand.
What to use the teeny little rail lasers on?
Well.... just about anything you want, I suppose. Being as small as they are, they just don't get in the way much.
Given the right holster, use on a regular carry pistol would be perfectly fine. The Fat Man keeps one on the spare backup auxiliary house gun (more on that later), and another on the rail of his 15-22 rifle. Mounted on the rifle, it makes low light can busting in the backyard a ball.... and whoa betide the raiding raccoon who gets into MY trash cans!
For those on a budget, the very LaserLyte V4 is a reasonably priced, feature rich, and robust little laser that will work on anything with a bit of rail. Not overly fancy, and nothing to gloat over on the BBQ gun. It's just a simple working mans laser sight. I've loaned my M&P 15-22 to teenage boys for a week at a time, and they couldn't manage to break the laser unit. Now..... that's saying something about durability!
I own a couple.... and glad of it. They are handy little buggers.

Building an AR-15......... This could be addictive.
The AR-15 platform, more so than any other rifle in the world, is an utterly American creation. Born in controversy, raised in battle, and matured into the 'Hot Rod' of gun owners all over the nation.
Much like a hot rod, the AR-15 takes customization to a unique level. Buildable with minimal tools and just some basic knowledge, these rifles can be assembled by almost anyone with a moderately decent mechanical ability. In fact, ten minutes on the internet will supply all the instruction manuals (and videos!) one needs to construct a service quality AR-15 from the ground up.
Options? Accessories? Choices? Oh MY........ as many as there are fish in the sea. The ability to build the rifle exactly as one wishes may be the single best reason for a shooter to assemble their own AR.
Cost savings? Perhaps..... perhaps. Certainly some money can be saved in building ones own AR-15 if shopping is done carefully, some used parts are (luckily) found, and absolute top quality is not insisted upon. As this is written, it's possible to build a perfectly serviceable rifle for less than $600.
The thing is..... also as this is written.... it's possible to buy a brand new entry level AR-15 from a major manufacturer for about $650.
So.... why build? One simple word..... customization. In building the rifle from scratch, the entire AR universe can be drawn on to make a weapon exactly suited to the shooter. Caliber, length, sights, features.... all can be changed, mixed, and matched to serve a particular use.
To that end..... here's The Old Fat Man's recent build....
Beginning with a Rock River Arms stripped lower, and an RRA lower parts kit, a complete lower was assembled. Using only a few simple hand tools, an AR armorers wrench, and a
video supplied free
by the fine folks at MidwayUSA, the lower assembly process took no more than 30 minutes. This includes some trial and error during the adventure, and taking it all apart again just to be sure it was right.
For a buttstock, the
Fab Defense Mako
was chosen, along with it's buffer tube, spring, and buffer. This stock is solid, doesn't rattle, has a storage solution for batteries, and importantly to me.... has a rubber butt pad that looks like it was stolen from a snow tire. I LIKE the way it sticks to my shoulder while firing.
Installing an adjustable AR buttstock requires using an end plate between the stock and receiver. This gives an opportunity for a low cost but valuable upgrade..... a sling plate. This widget allows attaching a sling at that juncture, just behind the grip. Perfect for use with a single point sling, and generally costing less than $15 for a simple one. Sure.... $50 name brand sling plates are available... if one just HAS to have something fancy (g).
The RRA lower assembly kit comes complete with a standard AR plastic hand grip, which is serviceable. The Fat Man, on the other hand, favors a
Hogue Monogrip
on his AR's. They fill my hand better, are 'stickier', and I think help aid in accurate shooting.
When it comes to the upper end of the rifle, I wished a 16 inch barrel of fairly heavy and stiff contour. Accuracy is one of my goals, and I value it somewhat higher than light weight. I also wanted a flat top receiver for mounting a holographic sight, but a standard A-2 front sight post to use with a back up iron sight. Also.... a midlength or full length (dissapator style) gas block placement to give me a longer sight radius when using iron sights.
Decent quality should go without saying..... and such an upper unit as I describe could be built from scratch for under $600
including the bolt carrier group and charging handle. To my fortune as I was building this,
AIM Surplus
had a sale on Spikes Tactical uppers,
complete with bolt carrier groups
, for only $519 with free shipping. That was a deal too good to turn down. It's only downside, which most shooters (myself included) might consider a good thing, is a minimum spec chamber. Reloading for this rifle requires small base dies.
For forearm furniture, I chose a Magpul MOE handguard. I like the fit and feel, and the internal heat shields are excellent. In addition, bolting on a rail section allowed attaching the one 'gadget' I wanted on this rifle..... a
really bright light
. It's 300 lumens right under my thumb as I grip the forearm, and I appreciate having that option.
As main sighting optics, I installed my trusty old
EOTech 512
. This unit has been on rifles of mine for
years and years
... and still keeps working perfectly. I've even handed it off to teenagers for a weekend at a time.... and it still works! The fact it takes cheap AA batteries is a plus.
Backup iron sight? A Magpul MBUS unit (Gen 2), mounted backwards..... yes, I said BACKWARDS.... as
described here
That's MY AR-15.... as assembled by me. It's hard to say 'built', since I just put parts together like a semi-trained monkey..... but whatever it is, it's all MINE. At 8.8 pounds, it's not light, but it is handy.... and quite accurate. As for dependability, I really can't say. A thousand rounds in, and I'm still waiting for the first hiccup.
Accuracy? Well..... it's okay... even without a magnified sight.

Damn..... I thought it was clean!
Today I was moving a few things around, including a small stack of mil-surp rifles too long for the safe. As is my habit, when I pick up these particular rifles, I pull the bolt and check the bore, as they are often shot with corrosive ammunition.
Click.... yank.... bright window.... shiny.
Click....yank...... bright window...shiny.
Click... yank... bright window..... SON OF A B!#@$
My old 91/30 Ex-Sniper had a bore gone dark. Thinking back, it had been over a year since I fired this rifle, and I am CERTAIN it was cleaned well before being stored. I am also certain I have checked that rifle no more than a few months ago as well, since ..... well..... mil-surp corrosive ammo.
Anywho, it called for immediate action, and a whole bunch of
*. This 'gun oil' has been my go-to solvent, cleaner, lubricant, and preservative on mil-surp rifles for about 20 years now.
30 minutes of vigorous scrubbing, and the old beast once again has a shiny bore. Hopefully it has escaped serious damage from my poor stewardship. Sorry tovarishch, I'll be more diligent from now on.
Lesson learned......
has a long and honored history. It was the black powder cartridge shooters who clued me in to it's goodness.

Calling the mathability enabled readers....
Okay you brilliant people..... how does one solve for this question?
Say the rifle is 36" long, and pivots from the butt end. How far (in thousandths of an inch) must the muzzle deflect to change the point of impact 1moa at 100 yards?
Yes, I know it is simple math. No, I am not having the knowleging of the mathiness ways.

Well.... THAT was different...... and scary
A few days back, I was allowed some 'quality time' on the range with this PSL. I'm fairly certain it was unfired, and here is how I know.....
A couple rounds in, I was greeted with this when I sent one. It sounded weird, felt weird, and locked the action up pretty tight. The top cover was bent up, and the bolt took some finagling to get open.
Examining the other spent rounds found every one had a problem.
Lesson learned: NEW don't mean GOOD. Also, QC is a little less than impressive behind the former iron curtain. ALSO also.....
wear the damn eye protection!
PS: Why ain't you folks chewing on me about the misspellings? Good friends would show no mercy... sheesh.

Case study reports singing lowers patient's blood pressure prior to surgery
Doctors report that singing reduced the blood pressure of a 76-year-old woman who had experienced severe preoperative hypertension prior to total knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis (OA). While the patient was unresponsive to aggressive pharmacologic interventions, the woman's blood pressure dropped dramatically when she sang several religious songs. This case-report appears in the April issue of Arthritis Care & Research, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Traditional therapy for preoperative hypertension, doctors say, involves drug-based therapies that include diuretics, beta blockers, calcium-channel blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These medications are used to lower blood pressure to acceptable levels for surgery, however, a number of patients do not respond to these treatments. In patients unresponsive to standard therapies, as in the current case study patient, alternative hypertension interventions are needed.
Several studies suggest that listening to music can be effective in reducing blood pressure by calming or diverting patients prior to surgery, which lessens stress and anxiety," explains lead author Nina Niu, a researcher from Harvard Medical School in Boston. "Our case study expands on medical evidence by showing that producing music or singing also has potential therapeutic effects in the preoperative setting."
The current case subject was a 76-year-old woman from the Dominican Republic who had hypertension and a 15-year history of bilateral knee OA. The patient was treated with ACE inhibitors and calcium-channel blockers for high blood pressure and diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for knee pain. She was accepted into Operation Walk Boston, a philanthropic program providing total join replacement to poor Dominican patients with advanced OA of the hip or knee. The case study authors served as members of her medical team.
Upon admission to the hospital for surgery the patient's blood pressure was 160/90 mm Hg, controlled by her normal regimen of nifedipine and lisinopril. In the preoperative area, the woman's blood pressure increased to 240/120 mm Hg and persisted, requiring doctors to postpone surgery. The Operation Walk medical team was onsite site at the Dominican hospital for a limited time; therefore it was imperative that the patient's blood pressure be reduced so surgery could proceed.
The patient asked doctors if she could sing, which the patient reported doing frequently to calm herself down and to help with sleeping. The medical team encouraged her to so, and after two songs checked her blood pressure which had lowered to 180/90 mm Hg. With continued singing for 20 minutes, the patient's blood pressure remained lower and persisted for several hours after. As instructed by doctors, the patient sang periodically through the night which kept her blood pressure at acceptable levels. The following morning, the woman was cleared for knee replacement surgery, which was successful and without complications.
Niu commented, "Singing is simple, safe, and free. Patients should be encouraged to sing if they wish." This single case study showed the positive effective of singing in reducing blood pressure and controlling pain. "To be formally considered as an alternative therapy for the OA patient population, larger studies are needed to explore the effects of signing on hypertension and chronic pain relief," said Niu.

Mahindra & Mahindra said it will offer free pollution check for its entire range of personal and commercial vehicles on June 5 to mark the World Environment Day.
M&M has joined the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA), a global alliance of vehicle manufacturers that is working to bring Google's android platform to cars.
A Mahindra spokesperson said the discussions at the vendor meet were confidential and the company was not in a position to share details.
SUV manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd today unveiled a new version of its off-road vehicle Thar at Rs 8.03 lakh (ex-showroom Nashik).
The existing initial MoU enabled both companies to work together on potential opportunities in manufacture of aerostructures.
Amid persistent pressure on volume, the board approved a resolution that allows the company to raise as much as Rs 5,000 crore.
Thar comes with host of new exterior changes that includes front and rear bumpers, wheel arches, clear lens headlamp and redesigned side-footstep with the canopy.
The company, locally rated Triple A, is seeking international ratings. Banks for the offering are expected to be mandated soon.

Jail term may make Cantona quit UK
Friday 24 March 1995
There were gasps in Croydon magistrates' court yesterday as the sentence was handed down and Cantona was led to a cell beneath the court in south London.
Within three hours, however, Cantona, 28, was freed on bail pending an appeal against his sentence. He had pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault after his attack on Matthew Simmons, 20, at Selhurst Park, the home of Crystal Palace Football Club, on 25 January.
Jean-Jacques Amorfini, Cantona's agent, said: "We are dumbfounded and absolutely shocked. I think people are trying to make Cantona disgusted with England and, obviously, I believe he is going to have to leave the country." Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards said he was shocked by the sentence and the club's star striker had now been punished three times for one offence.
In a statement read out to the court by his barrister, David Poole QC, Cantona said he had been "angry and frustrated" at being sent off mid- way through the game and was leaving the pitch when he heard Mr Simmons shouting racist abuse.
Mr Simmons, who Jeffery McCann, prosecuting, said ran down 11 rows to taunt Cantona, is to face public order charges.
Cantona said Mr Simmons' face was "contorted with hatred" and he was hurling abuse. "This, with my additional frustration [at being sent off], caused me to react in a way I now deeply regret by jumping up and kicking out at the man's chest," he said.
In mitigation, Mr Poole said Cantona had already been punished, having been fined two weeks' wages, £10,800, by his club and given club and Football Association bans that would keep him out of the game until October.
But the magistrates said the only appropriate sentence was jail. "You are a high profile figure with undoubted gifts and as such you are looked up to by young people," the chairwoman told Cantona. The magistrates turned down an application for bail pending an appeal against sentence, but bail was later granted on a £500 surety by a Crown Court judge. The appeal will be heard in eight days.
Paul Ince, another Manchester United player, pleaded not guilty at the same court yesterday to common assault during the Selhurst Park fracas. He will be tried in May.
Gordon Taylor, leader of the Professional Footballers' Association, said that the court had made an example of Cantona because of his fame.

Approximate Leaf Dimensions: 14in x 6in
Approximate Leaves Per Pound: 80
Our Aged Dominican Seco Long Filler is a premium cigar filler that is used in many hand-rolled premium cigar factories. Being a leaf from the fourth or fifth priming, our Piloto Cubano Dominican Seco tobacco leaf is thinner than the ligero tobacco leaf.
This is a premium cigar filler that is used in many hand-rolled premium cigar filler blends. Make your own cigar blend with our Dominican Seco!
Our Seco Long Fillers from the Dominican Republic are aged to perfection. Being one of the milder long filler types, the seco is revered as what makes up the body of the cigar because the seco can fit more leaves in a smaller area.
When bunched together, Seco tobacco leaves make up most of the filler in a hand-rolled cigar, while the ligero tobacco gives it that "kick". These leaves arrive packed in flat stacks, and are grown from the Piloto Cubano seed. The benefit of this format are that you can immediately roll these leaves into a cigar binder.
"Thanks for the offer for an additional pound on the next shipment, but 1/2 lb. is fine, honestly! I should have placed a larger order the last time, I'm gonna' go to the website now and get more stuff. Thanks John! Keep up the good work, I'm constantly telling my cigar mooching buddies how awesome your company is...maybe they'll become brave enough to try rolling one day."
- Stephen, TX

How many more weeks?
Words and photos by Morgan Taylor
Pristine. That's how every bike starts out. Every build has its moment of perfection before it succumbs to a life of abuse – cross bikes especially so.
When I walked into Kelowna, BC's The Lions Cyclery, recently opened by former Vancouverites Meshkat Javid and Ryan Lidstone, that moment of perfection was oh-so-apparent. These two are building the shop's reputation on "a higher standard of fit and function" – and having worked with both of them in the past, I know that means an obsessive attention for detail during the bike building process. (more…)
Bay Area people, dwellers of Santa Cruz and San Jose listen up: the crustacean king at Rock Lobster is throwing a pre-season cyclocross cup on August 29th at the Bonny Doon Airport. There's something for everyone, so if you can make it out, do so!
Julie got her 44 Bikes Hunstman (huntswoman?) last winter and built it up this spring. Kris from 44 had never seen it complete until recently, when she allowed him to photograph it. As far as 'cross bikes are concerned, this might be one of the slickest to ever grace this website. The white paint, juxtaposed with the sour apple green is so attractive. Also, those Ashima Ai2 rotors look amazing on this bike, especially with the sour apple Chris King R45 disc hubs.
See more drool-worthy 'cross goodness at the 44 Bikes Flickr.
With an ever-increasing popularity of the sport, many mountain bike companies have ventured into cyclocross bikes in the past few years. For David Turner, owner and founder of Turner Bikes, his personal race rig prototype has finally hit the public market. David has spent the past five years designing the ideal 'cross bike. One that can take on everything from hour-long races to day-long "all-road" rides. The Cyclosys is the brand's first non-suspension bike, ever.
As an introductory offer, Turner is selling the Cyclosys with a custom Powder-coat color finish as a free upgrade option to the First 50 Pre-Orders and a free upgrade to Stans Carbon Valor wheels to the first 25 pre-orders. Have yours in time for 'cross season, in the color you want, with race-ready wheels…
See more information at Turner and more photos below.
Eric from Imshi Cycles continues to hone his skills as a framebuilder with this hot pink and white 'cross bike. See more details at the Imshi Cycles Flickr!
For Niner, there are two sides to their cyclocross coin: one, an all-rounder that can take bikepacking trips on and still be race-worthy and on the other side, the race-pedigree machine that is the BSB 9 RDO. The latest version of the BSB now sports a 142mm x 12mm thru-axle, locking in the stays to the hub and keeping the frame rigid when it's needed most: during acceleration.
Paired with clearances for up to a 40mm tire, short chainstays (425mm), this stiffness will take on everything from sandy corners to rutted off-cambers and with the reliability of disc brakes, you're in for maximum control.
Because you'll want to hold onto this one for a while, Niner backs the BSB 9 RDO with a five year, C5 warranty.
Pricing begins at $2,300 for a frame, $3,000 for a 2-star build and up to $6,500 for a 5-star build. See more of the BSB 9 RDO below and more information at Niner. Available in late July or early August.
Cross is coming, cross is coming! But then cross is over, just as quickly as it came and you're left with a bicycle that is only alive for about an hour on a closed course, right? I'd sure as hell hope not. Strap some bags on it, take it on singletrack, shred it on gravel. Cyclocross bikes are incredibly versatile and with so many options out there these days, it's hard to sift through them all.
That's where brand recognition helps. For those of you who have ridden Niner's bikes, you know they're thoughtful, ripping machines and when they announced the RLT 9 Steel earlier this year everyone's interest was piqued including mine. Let's face it, there aren't a lot of high-grade steel 'cross frames out there. There are a lot of "custom butted" or "special recipe" tubesets, which have a place for sure but there's something recognizable about the words "Reynolds 853."
As the Transcontinental Race approaches, riders all over the world are getting their equipment dialed in. Jeff from Factory5 is taking on the Vlaanderen to Istanbul course on top of a new disc cyclocross bike the shop has been developing. He's running a super tight setup with Revelate bags, a SON hub, the Plug and other essentials. Head to Factory5's blog for more information and best of luck, Jeff!
Anyone looking for a do-it-all bike with a Rival 22 build for $2,000 should check out the Twin Six Standard Rando completes that just landed. With clearances for a 43mm tire (spec'd with a Panaracer Pasela 32mm), 160mm rotors, steel fork and a nice geometry, these are surely a contender for an all-rounder. See more at Twin Six.

Video: Cops TASER knife-wielding man seeking 'suicide by cop'
Surveillance video captured a tense standoff between a knife-wielding man and officers in a jail
By PoliceOne Staff
PHOENIX — Surveillance video captured a tense standoff between a knife-wielding man and officers in a jail.
CBS 5 reports 33-year-old Jesse Bustos Arce was taken into the jail on charges of disorderly conduct.
Arce went to the bathroom and emerged with two knives while shouting threats to police.
Video captured officers as they drew their weapons while commanding Arce to drop the knives.
A detention officer deployed a TASER and subdued Arce without further incident.
The man is believed to have been attempting "suicide by cop," according to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Arce was placed in the jail's psych unit following the incident, according to the report.

JRC/GEE/2015/D.1/0042/RC of 22/05/2015IMPORTANT INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON 10/07/2015: A corrigendum has been published today in the Official Journal of the European Union. With this corrigendum, the deadline for submitting candidatures has been postponed to 28/8/2015 and the description of the works also includes the construction of parking places. --------- IMPORTANT: Interested parties need to submit their applications before the deadline indicated in Heading IV.3.4 of the Contract Notice by post/courier/hand delivery to the address given in Heading I.1 of the Contract Notice. Applications cannot be submitted by email. The project concerns the construction of a new building for laboratories and office space for scientific policy support activities related to EU food safety and quality legislation carried out by the JRC's Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (JRC-IRMM) in Geel (Belgium). The design of the building, carried out by the JRC-IRMM, will be based on the identification of the essential needs and requirements to operate the food safety and quality activities in the future. The pre-design architectural study, in the finalisation stage at present, will minimise energy demands and will implement energy efficiency and low carbon technologies. Concerning the future of the old buildings, one of them will be maintained on a low technical level and used for storage purposes of food materials and other equipment of the JRC-Geel site, and in particular of the collection of the EURL feed additives. Another building will be refurbished to become an information and scientific training centre and the third one will be used for the purpose of analysis of nanomaterials. Building surface area required: The planned building will have three floors with the following breakdown of surfaces: Total floor area offices: 1.000 sqm Total floor area laboratories: 1.400 sqm Total floor area technical rooms: 316 sqm Total meeting rooms, storage rooms and circulation: 767 sqm Total floor area: 3.483 sqm Parking places: outside the scope of the projectLast Update: 29-07-2015

- Information
Doubletap was started by Mike McNett, President and CEO, in his Salt Lake City garage in 2002. Since then, Doubletap has developed a reputation for powerful, reliable and accurate ammunition loaded with a variety of premium bullet options. With their "no punches pulled" style of building ammunition Doubletap uses only the best components available to manufacture the highest performing ammunition possible. With special attention to quality control and precision craftsmanship each individual round is inspected and handled by Doubletap employees that share a passion for shooting and hunting resulting in the highest quality assurance possible.
Doubletap loaded this to be a high performance standard pressure load for the 45 ACP. The bonded jacketed bullet features a copper jacket that is bonded to the lead core, resulting in a bullet that retains most of its weight after expansion. Higher weight retention results in greater penetration. Perfect for concealed carry or home defense.
