Our friend Tam over at the View From the Porch blog pointed to one of her favorite TFL threads: Reasons to Own a Buncha Guns. This hilarious thread dates back to 1999. Oh, that mention of time travel reminds me: I’m presently just 81 pages into reading Jerry and Sharon Ahern’s new novel Written in Time

I recently received a sample of Choate’s newest telescoping AR-15/M16 stock with battery storage tubes at the cheek positions. This is a cleverly designed five-position telescoping stock that has two storage compartments with O-ring seal threaded caps. The storage compartments hold two AA or three CR-123 Lithium batteries in each tube. I recommend this stock for anyone that has had trouble getting a consistent “cheek weld” with a standard CAR-15/M4 style stock. The spare battery holders built in to this stock give the top a semi-triangular profile that is very comfortable and provides a wide, flat surface that allows a very consistent cheek weld for both left and right-handed shooters. It also provides a “you can’t lose it” storage space for spare batteries for night vision gear, lasers, and lights.

The owner of The Survival Bunker–an alternative energy and preparedness products retail store in Kalama, Washington–wrote to mention that he has expanded the store’s product line. They now sell home security, safety, and personal defense items to supplement their original line of generators and photovoltaics.
