One of the main reasons I keep a couple old phones and stay with GSM companies, if I need to use another phone for whatever reason, just swap over my sim card and good to go.

Great idea. I've often thought that there needs to be a way to have backup phones. I know I've killed at least 10 phones myself down through the years.

Unfortunately mine is a company phone and I have to turn in my old ones.

Been e-mailing back and forth between manufacturers of parts I'm trying to get for a new rifle. Everyone is replying back with like a 2 month eta at best. Seekins said wishfully hoping to have some stock in 6-8 weeks.
Haha I was hoping to have kind of a neat rifle that isn't too common looking but I don't know if my patience is that long.

Just got another email that said 6 weeks minimum for a charging handle. Guess I'll stick with the BCM on that.

Do they allow you to go ahead and place a backorder?


On another note, my phone has been working since about 10:30. I guess a couple hours in the desiccant beads worked.

Yea I'm sure they will. I know some of the websites I have been searching do but emailing some of them, they have no eta on when they will have stock and I don't know if I can buy it without having any clue when it will be arriving. I'm to much of a instant gratification person. No patience.

Glad the phones up and running.

I'm the same way. I don't think I've ever placed a backorder. At least not intentionally.

I did last night actually with swfa, they had the handguard I was wanting for a awesome price too so in ordered it and right afterward I felt like they probably didn't actauly have it so I emailed them and sure enough they didn't have it but said I would be on the back order for it and they had no ETA. I asked to please remove me from the list as I'd search elsewhere.

I can actually find the the Seekins handguard in stock forthe keymod version but I want the MLok one and that's the one that OOS everywhere.

Here are Odin MLok handguards on sale, in case you're interested. I have no idea if it's a good price, but the company is good to go.

Not only does GSM Companies allow you just to swap sim and you a go. Verizon does also even though they are using the CDMA tech. I always keep two smart android phones ready to go because I am always messing with them wiping and installing new firmware and custom ROM's. My latest phone the Moto X Pure will work on any provider will also accept two sim cards and up to a 128gb Micro SD Card. My other phone is the LG G3. I like them both. The only issue but resolved with an adapter is the LG G3 takes a Micro SIM and the Moto X Pure take a Nano SIM. I had no issues swapping back and forth.

Is that the same style you have on your race rifle?
That's a good price I think, about the same price as the Seekins NOXs rail that I'm wanting to get. I

Do they use like cdma sims or something? I have a G3 and really like it. I tried a couple different ROMs on it but went back to a Stock KitKat ROM because I couldn't get the same battery life out if any of the others.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the exact same as the one on my red rifle, except mine is keymod. Let me know if you want to see it in person again.

I am not sure if you call them CDMA SIM's. I know Verizon went to the SIM based phone a long time ago. I like the LG G3 also and running the Jasmine ROM right now it's smooth and lots of battery life.

 

[madeSICC88]

Hmm I have used T-Mobile and ATT since my first phone in highschool. Never payed attention to the others.

My next phone will probably be one of the BLU branded phones.

dry firing the 229 like crazy. Ordered a grip strengthener thing.

 

[madeSICC88]

I like the adjustable ones with the rubber ball in the middle, they wear out after a while but they are good IMO. I use it all the time just when watching TV.

Gunbroker isn't blocked and I frequent that all day. I assume and website without a SSL certificate will end up blocked

I've got a cheap coiled spring type in my laptop bag and another in my truck. I've started to work on my grip strength the last couple weeks, when I think about it. I had to run into walmart today at lunch and looked to see what kinds they had. They had an interesting version that uses a little dial to adjust the tension, but I decided to stay away from it. I've heard horror stories about people who overdo it with grip strengtheners too quickly and cause permanent damage to their hands and forearms. I'll stick with my little cheap ones until they either break or become too easy.
