L2692/603 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The L2692 is brand new on the market in 2016, with this eyewear you are at the cutting-edge of trends. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of L2692in our 2015, and 2016 Lacoste range.
The unisex Lacoste model makes no distinction between men and women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The L2692 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Lacoste back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get L2692 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)

PHILADELPHIA It's been 18 months since Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Willis W. Berry Jr. retired on the day he was to pay a $180,000 civil fraud judgment involving a property that a jury found he acquired by deceiving a client.
Now, that same ethical violation has cost the 71-year-old Berry his license to practice law for the next year. The state Supreme Court on Wednesday approved without comment the suspension recommended in October by its lawyer Disciplinary Board.
The board's report called Berry's violation "serious misconduct" that requires suspension to "protect the public and preserve the integrity of the legal profession."

A reporter asked me whether this was "an act of philanthropy." Probably yes, but I hope it is much more than that. I am glad Bezos is using his wealth to save a great and necessary American institution. But I hope and pray the real value he brings is his entrepreneurship, his innovation, his experience, and his fresh perspective, enabling him to reimagine news as an enterprise.
I'm ready for folks to cry for joy that Bezos knows how to sell content. He'll know how to build pay walls, damnit! But I don't think that's his key value here. He knows how to sell and deliver unique not commodity content: entertainment mostly.
No, Bezos' key competence is in building relationships. This is wishful thinking on my part, as I have been arguing that we in journalism need to stop thinking of ourselves as manufacturers of a mass commodity called content and start understanding that we are in a service business whose real outcome is informed individuals and communities. Thus we must be in the relationship business.
I have been arguing with newspapers lately that they must gather small data about their individual users — where they live, where they work, what their key interests are — so they can serve people with greater relevance and value. I hope that skill — building profiles and using them to improve relevance — is the first that Bezos brings to the Post.
I have one fear of Bezos: his secrecy. A news organization must be open (there I'm a disciple of the Guardian's Alan Rusbridger). I also want to see innovation and experimentation at the Post done in the open so the rest of the industry can benefit from it. Then perhaps Bezos can save more than one newspaper.
I do trust the Bezos understands the value of the Post and the necessity of — using my CUNY dean's phrase — journalism's eternal verities. I also trust that Don Graham would not have sold his family's jewel to anyone who did not understand that.
Now mind you, Bezos also invested in Henry Blodget's Business Insider. I'm a fan of Henry and what he has done there, but he is controversial in the halls of journalism schools. Bezos praises the Post for waiting to get things right. Henry is rather quicker on the trigger. I'm glad Bezos has an interest in both models; I think each can learn from the other.
Bottom line: I'm hopeful.
I am left with tremendous admiration for Don Graham, whose family not only built the Washington Post into its glory and protected it from political pressure to serve the people. Today, Don Graham made no doubt the toughest and bravest decision of his life: He admitted that he did not have the strategy to save his newspaper so he found someone he believes will. That takes courage.

So in this team match here http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=298194 My group is unfairly losing because I lost 2 points to a cheater who's account has been closed down. The score is 6-4 to them when it should be 6-4 to us. So can I have 2 points for our team. Also when I played the cheater I thought he was geniune as his rating was 2100+ and he was the highest player I ever played so I even invited him to my team and he was the highest rated member there. I was really p***ed off (excuse my language) when I found out his account got closed down for cheating because I had lost about 40-70 rating points to him because he was one of the first people I played on here (The more people you play the less the rating adjustment is). So can I please have my rating points back aswell because I am focusing on getting to 1600 and I do not want cheaters to get in my way.
Hello Mr.Billon_Tactics_Boy, this does seem unfair so please go down the screen and go to "Help & Support". Then,after you have gone there,go here,and submit your ticket.
I am not reporting an abusive user as he has already had his account closed down. I just want my lost rating points back and my team match points.
Wont happen.
Why!? It's only fair. Why won't it happen?
Just doesn't work, rating changes affect too many people too quickly - there is a ripple effect, you can't just give people their points back. Also, just too much admin for chess.com.
This is not fair. I am a decent and honest person on chess.com and did nothing to deserve this. I really want to get past 1600 and I am not having a cheating woodshovers set me back!
As other says, there is nothing to do. It happens. If your real value is around 1600, you'll get there regardless this.. accident.
For the team match, yeah is annoying, but I'm afraid nothing can be done there either.
Look at it this way. In every game since you lost to the cheater, you have been given a few more points for a win, and lost a few less points for a loss, than if you never played him.
Bite the bullet and keep on marching. If you let one cheater spoil your advance you're wasting your time. The majority of people here are good sports. Admin has ousted him; time to play on.
Alright I understand. 1600 is not far off now.
When you have played a hundred more games, there won't be any difference. It doesn't make it less unfair.
Sorry, can't help you there.
Also, chess.com closes accounts all the time and just throws them in the cheater list regardless of if they are really cheating; it makes the cheater list long to give the impression that they are catching cheaters. He may well have not been cheating but just pissed off an admin.
Many of us have been victimized by cheaters. It helps if you enjoy playing the games and don't take winning and losing too seriously.
Looked back in your archive ... you lost 1 rating point for your two losses to this guy lol.
Every point counts lol :p

DAVID POILE wanted to take his time and wait until at least June to officially replace the only coach the Predators have ever known.
But with four other NHL head coaching vacancies and windows closing fast, it did not take Poile long to realize he'd been working with his top candidate for months.
That's why Poile, son of the first Flyers general manager, Bud Poile, hired Peter Laviolette yesterday to be the second coach in the 16-year history of the Predators.

It should be pointed out that if Gomes were in the AL, he too would have been a "DH for a reason." I'm not saying Guerrero is a great fielder. I'm saying he's no worse than Gomes but he's a better hitter.

Vlad is not going to an NL team, IMO.
"We are better with Crawford, but at that price?" a Yankees source said. "I'm not sure it's that good of an upgrade."So, if that's how the yankees REALLY feel then they'd likely hold the advantage in any trade talks. And I'd hate to see Walt overpay for a guy unless he really, really has to."Unless they parted with one of those guys (Swisher, Granderson, or Gardner), I'm not sure where they would fit," the source said of Crawford and Werth.

"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Flash back to May 1975. The Big Red Machine had lost the 1970 & 1972 World Series. They lost the NLCS in 1973 & in 1974 finished 2nd to their archrival the Dodgers. In early 1975 the Reds were in 2nd place. They had a big hole on the team at 3B. Pete hadn't played the infield for 8 years. He had a grand total of 16 major league games playing 3B. George Foster was not an MVP caliber sure fire thing for the outfield. He was a 26 year old who had started 65 games in 1974 with an OPS+ of 110. Pete moved to 3B and a replacement level bat was removed from the lineup and replaced with George Foster. Foster OPS+ed 139 in 1975 & the BRM won back to back titles.
The 'Reds are interested in Podsednik' thread got me thinking.
The team claims to be cash strapped & have very little money to spend. They don't seem (although we don't know for sure) to have been interested in DeJesus, Willingham, Uggla,etc.
OK. How can the Reds improve the team's position players without adding payroll? Well folks, there is a way. We could add a potential 850 OPS bat to the lineup. All it takes is for one guy to 'take it for the team'. Considering the competition defensively in LF may be a Gomes/Podsednik platoon the bar is set pretty low. Unless Joey is an absolute butcher in left it seems that Joey to left & Alonso to 1B could be the best way to help the team in 2011.
(Note I picked Joey to LF instead of Alonso to LF as I feel Joey is more likely to be adequate there defensively than Alonso).
I know this has been discussed before. I bring it up again for a reason. In past discussions it was thought that Joey could stay at 1B and the team could add a decent bat for left field. This doesn't seem to be the case as the team has passed on several decent targets & there are statements from the team stating that they don't have the cash to make a significant addition.
I understand where you're coming from, but personally, I wouldn't consider moving Votto. Why chance messing with an MVP? Especially one who is only a year away from some serious personal problems. Plus, what would happen if Alonso struggles mightily for the first month or two?
Why can't Alonso try LF again? He briefly did last year, IIRC. Is he that bad of an athlete? Would he really be that much worse than Dunn or Carlos Lee? If the Reds are great defensively everywhere else on the field, couldn't they afford one albatross? I've never seen Alonso play LF, and most on here haven't either, but I just wonder how bad it is. Outside of catchers, there aren't many young major leaguers who can only play one position.
"....the two players I liked watching the most were Barry Larkin and Eric Davis. I was suitably entertained by their effortless skill that I didn't need them crashing into walls like a squirrel on a coke binge." - dsmith421
As for Votto moving, I agree with your post. I'm guessing, and its only a guess, that Votto just doesn't want to do it.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS

Motoring giant Holden has sold its massive Fishermans Bend car manufacturing plant to the Victorian state government in a $130 million deal which will see it transformed into an innovation and employment hub.
One of Melbourne's most prolific apartment markets has notched up another sale with a Hong Kong-based developer buying a development-ready Southbank site for $8.8 million.

Super fund developer CBUS has won a legal battle to construct one of Collingwood's tallest apartment towers, a 14-storey monolith on a 2010 square metre block in Wellington Street.
Two big corporate tenants looking for new office space could potentially spark a flurry of commercial development activity in Melbourne.

Fouquieria shrevei
Fouquieria shrevei is a plant species native to the States of Coahuila and Durango, Mexico. It can be found in the Cuatro Ciénegas basin in Coahuila, approximately 50 km west of Monclova, at an elevation of about 740 m (2467 feet). There are several natural springs in the region, allowing an estimated 150 species of endemic plants and animals to survive in this desert oasis. The species has also been reported from other sites in the same state plus one locale in the neighboring State of Durango.[1][2]
Fouquieria shrevei is a shrub up to 3 m (10 feet) tall, branching repeatedly near the base but hardly at all above. Leaves are ovate to oblanceolate, up to 3 cm (1.2 inches) long and 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) wide, with scarious (thin, dry and brown) margins. Flowers white, born in short racemes in the axils of the leaves. The board leaves plus the axillary racemes of white flowers make this a distinctive and unusual member of the genus.[3]

A captivating retelling of a Philippine fable about two elderly boars--one kind and cheerful, the other selfish and mean--who find their actions repaid in very different ways. "The text has a lilt and a gleam of humor...and the illustrations are among this well-know team's most engaging."--Kirkus Reviews.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In His Own Words...
"Jose Aruego's books for young readers have earned the applause of critics, teachers, librarians, and parents -- as well as the affection of children everywhere. Mr. Aruego's comic animals are immediately recognizable as they cavort through clear, vibrant landscapes, carrying out the action that the simple text has set in motion. It is a style one reviewer has termed illustrative mime.
"Jose Aruego was born in the Philippines, where he studied law and became a member of the Bar. But after practicing briefly, he decided to come to the United States to study graphic arts and advertising at Parsons School of Design in New York City. After graduation, he worked in adver-tising before taking up the demanding job of cartooning for The Saturday Evening Post, The New Yorker, Look, and other magazines. Every Wednesday I would go to the cartoon editor with fifteen or sixteen drawings in hand, from which he might select one for publication. The tension was terrible, because selling cartoons was howI made my living. But I learned a lot from the rejected work, so it wasn't a waste.
"The sink-or-swim experience of drawing cartoons was how I learned to make the most of a small amount of space. Both abilities have helped him in his career as a children's book author and illustrator, which he began with the publication of The King and His Friends in 1969.
"Although he is known for his amusing characters, Jose Aruego takes writing and drawing for chil-dren very seriously. After more than three dozen books he feels he is still learning his craft and getting to know his audience. Each project teaches me something new and makes mea better artist. Each book brings me closer to children. From the popularity and appeal of Jose Aruego's books, it is obvious that he has both the artistic skill and the imagination to reach the world of children. His work has a distinctive rhythm, and his humorous animal characters have a gaiety and playfulness that children adore.
"I have found from making appearances at schools that when kids draw for themselves, most of them like to make funny pictures. SoI show them how to draw an alligator. It's a simple drawing and the teachers tell me that after my visit, Aruego alligators show up all over the school.

- Eastern Canada (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/eastern-canada/)
- - Ottawa? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/eastern-canada/42906-ottawa.html)
Just getting a gauge on how many we have here from the Ottawa valley/Outaouais area, where you ride etc...? I am in Kanata, ride the legendary mosquito tit that is Mount Pakenham mostly as it is super close and cheap.
Mont Ste. Marie or Tremblant for the day. Jay peak, Killington, Le Massif, Mont Ste. Anne for the weekend.
Out West for anything longer.
anyways, i started boarding last year. i went to camp fortune a bunch, titus, and vorloge which i got free passes for. this year, ill be going to fortune, marie, and edelweiss.
i use to be in Outaouais and Edelweiss was good... then Fortune and Ste-Marie.
I've heard that Edelweiss again should be good this year...
I see a lot of people from Ottawa-Gatineau-Hull in Tremblant and also in Avila, as these two parks are good
I used to be at Fortune all the time. My buddies dad worked close to it so he'd drop us about an hour before the lifts open. Was really nice, maybe another 20 or so other people there on weekdays, mostly retired guys. They may not be huge but we are pretty lucky to have as many places as we do as close as we do.
Some mildly good news, Calabogie has started making snow. The coverage is pretty sad so far but at least it is a start. According to their sire they are aiming to open December 10.
Mostly go to camp fortune but also trips close by. the weather has been so wonky im not sure when anything will start opening up
Surprised no one's mentioned Cascades yet. I prefer that area with Fortune & Edelweiss there too. Can't beat these for proximity to Ottawa.
Tremblant (of course) & Mont Ste Marie. Even Pakenham. Hoping to try a few more this year.
Mont Saint-Sauveur has been open since Hallowe'en I think, but haven't been there.

> AR Magazines - Aluminum vs Stainless Steel
April 4, 2007, 04:18 PM
SS mags seem to cost about twice that of aluminum ones. Can someone please school me on the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Stainless steel, sounds great, stainless steel. Steel that does not stain. Sounds impressive. Sounds like a quality attribute. Backyard mechanics are easily sold on the term stainless steel. Often items are made of low quality stainless as a sales gimmick. People eat it up.
Ok so the stuff is hard to corrode. Are you therefore assuming that all else is equal? Equally hard, equally tough, equally strong, equally light? Not necessarily true. Depends on the stainless. Stainless steels just have to have enough chrome content to inhibit rust. Almost a generic term. There are low carbon stainless steels that work well as colanders and salad bowls. How do you know if these magazines are made from a better grade of stainless than your salad bowl? How do you know if these magazines are properly tempered? There is more to a magazine than just being made of stainless.
Why do you want a stainless steel magazine? Are you going to be shooting from a vat of corrosive acid? While the magazine may survive, the rest of the system is going to dissolve.
Maybe you are worried about rust, that is legitimate. You could also periodically clean your magazines. Magazines really dont require much maintenance, you still need to clean the fouling out once in a while or you will get a jam, stainless or not.
M16 magazines are made from as light a material as possible. Foot soldiers are already loaded down with 125 pounds of gear, might as well make the magazines as light as possible. I believe the current M16 magazine is made of aluminum. I could be wrong. But the current material has worked very well. Used all over the world. Made by lots of folks who know, through practice, how to make a good magazine. The best thing about that is that military magazines tend to be cheap and reliable. All things being equal, I will buy the military magazine. If the vendor does not make the product to specification, he runs the risk of the government not paying him for a 100,000 magazines.
If you want stainless, go buy it. Could very well be a quality product, proper choice of stainless, proper bending and forming, annealing and heat treatment. I think it is a gimmick.
April 4, 2007, 05:01 PM
Aluminum- Light, corrosion resistant, cheap, plentiful
Steel- Heavy, less corrosion resistant, expensive.
I prefer aluminum GI mags :D
April 4, 2007, 05:03 PM
Which begs the question, if aluminum is lighter, stronger and cheaper, why would anyone want SS?
April 4, 2007, 05:20 PM
Just get some good ol' USGI aluminum mags for your AR-15. I run a bunch of beat-looking old GIs in my match rifle. Never had a problem I can blame on the ammo holders! ;) I think mine are Adventure Line, or maybe Universal. I don't remember, but they work. I think the "other steel" AR mags are just gimmicks for people who don't think the GI-stuff is adequate.
Well, okay, I've heard the aluminum mags can bulge if sat on or used for levellers on book cases. Advantage there would probably be stainless or regular carbon steel mags... :neener:
April 4, 2007, 05:22 PM
Go with aluminum and dont look back.
April 4, 2007, 05:50 PM
Only benefit to steel mags is that the bodies are more durable than AL.
April 4, 2007, 06:25 PM
What about the steel asian military contract mags? Any good?
April 4, 2007, 06:36 PM
Only Americans make good AR mags. Not all American made AR mags are good. Buy USGI contract magazines. Cproducts are not USGI contract magazines. I have seen a lot of junk Cproducts aluminum mags. The SS ones they make seem to be slightly better quality, but those can have problems too. The only Cproducts mags I would buy are the SS ones, and even then I would be leary about buying them. Any Cproducts mag that is bad will be replaced or refunded by Cproducts. They may or may not offer to pay return shipping. The little bit of money saved on Cproducts aluminum mags, is not worth the return shipping fees to me.
April 4, 2007, 06:37 PM
i have more aluminum mags that i could count they are every where when i think i have located them all, i find more and more. they have done fine by me. the aluminum mags are the ones i am issued and if they work for desert duty then they will work for my personal ar!
Don't Tread On Me
April 4, 2007, 06:41 PM
I don't think material has anything to do with quality. When it comes to AR mags, how they are made - more specifically, how well they are formed/stamped determines their quality.
The #1 killer of AR mags is feed lip spread. If they widen too much, you can get the dreaded double-feed where the top round is jammed up in near the gastube.
The less rigid material is likely to experience this easier/earlier. I think that is the appeal of stainless steel. It is stiffer, which leads to less spreading and makes the bending of feed lips less likely.
Personally, I'll take a Labelle/D&H USGI contract aluminum magazines anyday over any SS commercial mag.
Aluminum mags also have price working for them. When they are worn out, buy more.
April 4, 2007, 06:57 PM
I stick with USGI mags for the most part, however the new Magpul Pmags look somewhat promising...
April 4, 2007, 07:43 PM
I guess it's about perspective. Me, I can only have one, 10 round fixed mag so all this talk of alu vs. SS makes me jealous :banghead: I wish I could have some 20 or 30 round mags I could drop from my AR like the rest of you guys :banghead: :banghead:
April 4, 2007, 08:22 PM
I like the aliminum mags, but then I'm not using them in combat. The argument for SS that I've heard are that they are better because they don't dent and therefore, destroy the mag feed.
April 4, 2007, 08:25 PM

this may be true but in my almost four years in the infantry i haven't dinted one yet. and i have only had one aluminum mag go bad it just dosent feed good, i stowed it away and i will use the mag body later if i ever need it.
btw there are accesories out there to make the mags more reliable. or supposedly, like the self leveling followers, i don't use these but they are an option.

Aluminum for me too, there are the ones I use.
April 4, 2007, 08:27 PM
Where online can I find USGI mags and for how much? Also, is grey teflon finish worth the extra money? I don't understand why mags need to be corrosive resistant, durable, etc. As long as they feed, that is all that I think matters. Am I right or wrong? Thanks.
April 4, 2007, 08:46 PM
Will steel magazines wear down the mag well in the aluminum lower?
April 4, 2007, 09:10 PM
i have seen them 10 for $100 i can't remember where it was but i will check it out for you and get back to you.
here are some for a little more than that, i am still looking
here are some $9.95 ea

I've got a GI aluminium mag (with a black follower no less) that has a 3mm dent in the body and is still going strong. You have to keep in mind that aluminium GI mags are meant to be disposable items. When they wear out, chunk them and get new ones. For even a fairly heavy shooter, you should be able to get 10 years use out of an aluminium mag with no problems.
The steel mags are sturdier; but bring different problems up - corrosion, weight, splitting due to brittleness, and sometimes a little thick for the magwell. Personally, I think a lot of the current interest in stainless steel mags is because the SOPMOD High Reliability Magazine used stainless steel for the mag body. Even the HRM project has had a list of problems though.
The aluminium mags certainly aren't as sturdy as an AK steel mag; but one thing they do have going for them is that they are a known quantity.
April 4, 2007, 10:03 PM
I like these, and BCM is great to deal with.
Careful of the CProducts mags out there right now, they had a really bad run recently.
Mr White
April 4, 2007, 10:05 PM
Aluminum USGI AR mags are sometimes the only things worth buying at gun shows anymore.
Adventureline, Okay, LaBelle, and Colt floorplates are all good. I usually pick up a few at every show I go to. Never pay more than $15 for a magazine. You'll see cheap steel mags for 9 or 10 bucks sometime. You may as well just drop a tenspot on the floor. Same result and you'll save the sales tax.
April 4, 2007, 10:29 PM
Careful of the CProducts mags out there right now, they had a really bad run recently.
It's not just a recent problem. The batch of 100 I bought a year ago had 10-20 mags with problems. It's just getting reported more, and I'm sure they are slipping in quality too, trying to keep up with the demand. Arfcom, and probably this board too are filled with "shooters" who very rarely shoot. Obviously not everyone is a casual shooter, but arfcom is filled with keyboard commandos who dont know crap about crap, and preach like they have BTDT.
April 4, 2007, 10:33 PM
I'm just saying that I have noticed a large increase of serious problems with CProducts mags recently, widespread.
April 4, 2007, 10:59 PM
Can you elaborate on the nature of the issues with C-Products magzines?
April 4, 2007, 11:48 PM
I've heard about every complaint you can think of in regards to them lately.
Mostly having to do with bad welds and such. I haven't verified all cases though, mostly just took note that people were having issues with these mags.
Always test your mags.
April 5, 2007, 05:49 PM
The main issue I've seen is the followers get hung up about half way down the tube. Why? I don't know for sure. Out of spec body is my best guess. I've also seen some welds that Helen Keller would have caught in QC, and she's blind and dead. Some of the SS ones I've seen needed the edge of the mag where the nose of the bullet sits, that needed to be filed down so the round would feed without hanging up. It looks like Bushmaster is using them as the standard 30 rd mag now. Look to see posts about factory "Bushmaster" mags being bad.
For the life of me, I can't understand why a company that has such good customer relations, can't make a decent mag. It's not rocket scientistry. The dimensions are not the same as OKAY mags for example. You can see that in certain areas with your eyes. The finish on the dry film isn't as good as OKAY's. Mil Spec is Mil Spec. All Mil Spec mags should be the same.
April 5, 2007, 06:31 PM
Thanks possum. Are the $9.95 good quality? Are all USGI mags USGI mags or are some knock offs and of different quality? Thanks.
April 5, 2007, 06:32 PM
I am also avoiding CP and D&H mags for the time being. I pulled out of the AR15.com mag group buy on the CP mags and am not purchasing any more D&H mags right now.
The CP mag issues have been detailed in this thread. If you search in the Magazine subforum of AR15.com you will also find the issues with some recent (2005-06) production D&H mags. I personally got stuck with one of the defective D&H mags ... brand new 30rd mag will not load (much less feed!) 20 rounds.
For the record, I have many (10+ of each) of older D&H/CP mags that work just fine. So I am not bashing them across the board. In fact, once they get their act together I will be buying more. I am only saying that I have suspicions of recent runs of both manufacturers.
If I had to buy 30rd mags TODAY I would get Center USGI mags from Talon Arms. I have four Centers dating back to 1991 with black followers that are still chugging along! If I knew where to get OKAYs I would also buy them.
[edit to add: if I was buying 20rd mags I'd get Colt/Adventureline 20s from the old days. I have ten of those Vietnam era mags and they work flawlessly]
April 5, 2007, 06:51 PM
Thanks possum. Are the $9.95 good quality? Are all USGI mags USGI mags or are some knock offs and of different quality? Thanks.
Those are Cproducts mags.
April 5, 2007, 07:27 PM
USGI is USGI.
Quality is generally the same. They all have to make the mags to certain specs, and they usually do a good job.
April 5, 2007, 10:08 PM
Except Cproducts didn't pass the mil spec tests.They are made to Mil specs, but they are not certified mil spec.
April 5, 2007, 10:55 PM
Only Americans make good AR mags. Not all American made AR mags are good. Buy USGI contract magazines. Cproducts are not USGI contract magazines. I have seen a lot of junk Cproducts aluminum mags.

So, you're saying the 30-50 dollar HK SS High reliability mags are junk?
April 5, 2007, 11:09 PM
I really like Brownell's mags. I havent had any problems out of them.
April 5, 2007, 11:17 PM
So, you're saying the 30-50 dollar HK SS High reliability mags are junk?
I forgot about the HK mags. Those are not SS if I remember correctly. But for the price they go for, I can get 4-5 good aluminum mags. I don't even think of them when talking AR mags, because of the price you pay for them.
April 5, 2007, 11:32 PM
Exactly, I'd rather get 4 USGI mags than one HK mag.
April 5, 2007, 11:50 PM
Yep, what they said. I would trust the HK mags but why pay $$$ when you can get a reliable USGI Okay or Center mag for much much less?

Actually there are alot of people over there that do know crap about crap and have been there, done that.
April 6, 2007, 06:15 AM
Obviously not everyone is a casual shooter, but...
Nice selective quote.:rolleyes:
Obviously there are guys there who have been to the Mt. but there is a lot of BS to sift through. A lot of the real deal have moved on to different boards because of all the clowns. There is info there, but finding it can be hard to do.

I have some steel Enfield's that work well. But, they had to be cleaned up inside. The "parking" is extremely rough. At the time mags were hard to come by and it was a good buy.
By and large, milspec is the way to go. I stocked up when things got better, but the Enfield's are still in the stocks.
One side benefit, if THAT dread SHTF thing ever happens, the defective, worn out aluminum mags are a valued scrap item. There would be a lot of salvage scavenging going on to supply what ever production that is still available. In these times, silver and gold will not be the only "Coin of the Realm". Brass, powder and lead will be right there on the list. Even cast iron will have use for production.

Sound off
Why #MoreThan4?
I have had some very interesting and eye opening conversations lately….It's evident that many people are unaware in regards to the real facts about pediatric cancer.
I saw a comment yesterday where a particular gentleman basically said pediatric cancer is not a government problem and that we need to hold more fundraisers.
If he only knew how many bake sales, shaved heads, and begging the pediatric cancer community has done already...There has actually been millions of dollars raised and that won't stop, but real research the kind that cures cancer will take millions more.
Our children who are dying and suffering from lack of effective cancer treatment can't wait. Our survivors who face a lifetime of complications and secondary cancers due to treatment can't wait.
Today all combined efforts to fight pediatric have not been enough, especially when 7 children in America die a day from cancer.
We need the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and all other major cancer organizations who receive tax paid funds and donations to #StepUp. We need more support...more than pennies of a billion dollar budget...and more than leftover medicines.
The NCI's trickle effect concept of "cancer treatment is a one size fits all" is really not using much science or research at all. My son was diagnosed with infantile leukemia I wonder how many adults are diagnosed with infantile leukemia...I would guess zero but that's just a guess. Could we use the same trickle effect concept for seat belts? Yet more science and research has gone into the safety of seat belts than the safety of the medicines used on our children.
The NCI often likes to ride on the curtail of St. Jude Children's Hospital and the forward progress made at other pediatric research hospitals but yet the funding they grant these hospitals is very small. St. Jude's is run off of all fundraisers and donations and despite St. Jude's and many other major pediatric cancer hospitals enormous combined efforts to cure our children from cancer it is still the leading cause of death by disease.
Let's look at some of the funding issues with pediatric cancer.
The American government gives kids with cancer pennies of a billion dollar research budget because they still are hiding behind the campaign that "pediatric cancer is rare"…the only rare thing about pediatric cancer is research funding.
The American Cancer Society and other similar big cancer organizations follow the government's lead taking in millions of dollars per year of donated monies and giving out only pennies to children fighting cancer.
The pharmaceutical industry says pediatric cancer research is not profitable and currently is invested into medicines for erectile dysfunction and premature balding than medicines for kids with cancer.
My sweet boy first relapsed when he was on chemotherapy that, 40 years ago was found to have a high relapse rate. This particular chemo is still widely used today probably because it can kill cancer cells…but guess what?...bleach can kill cancer cells too it's just not an effective means to kill cancer because bleach is harmful and toxic much like cancer treatment is to our children, and a cure a real cure, should not kill you.
What this particular chemo has also managed to do is make a profit for nearly 40 years and making a profit is more important than saving a child from cancer. Cancer parents use these "leftover medicines" on our children because it's all we have.
There are countless stories where "all we have" is not enough; I was talking with cancer warrior Baby Adrian's dad the other day. He told me that after Adrian relapsed and had run through all available treatments at Lucille Packard's Children Hospital that it was decided to reach out to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in San Francisco. Doctors at UCSF found an experimental protocol that was new and specific to Baby Adrian's cancer. When his parents took him to get testing and paperwork done that was needed to qualify, a lumbar puncture revealed that Adrian's bone marrow did not have enough leukemia cells. They waited and retested a week later…he was still 2% shy from the required 20%. Oncologists at UCSF would plead on Adrian's behalf to hold the spot open…because sometimes qualifying for these protocols is like winning the lottery… a chance in a lifetime. However Baby Adrian and his parents would not win the lottery ...Adrian would be disqualified because he didn't have enough cancer on the right day a true cancer parent's nightmare…Sweet Adrian would die from his leukemia only two weeks later.
The protocol spot could not be kept open because there was not enough funding to wait for Baby Adrian. These spots need to be filled and we can't afford treatment for all cancer kids...only some.
Now let's look at this from a equality approach….In America today if an adult, who by no choice of their own is considered of a minority group…whether that minority classification is due to race, gender, handicap, sexual preference…were denied equal access to government money allocated to fight their disease our state would be in a uproar with lawsuits and picket signs.
The National Cancer Institute spends 96% of its budget on adult cancers and only 4% of its budget on children's cancers. Every day in America our children are discriminated against when it comes to research money for their diseases…it could be heart, kidney, liver, diabetes, and cancer…not one type of disease afflicting our children is equally funded.
The system fails again and again and it has to change. There is no more time for red tape political runarounds. It's a simple matter of breaking out the check book.
