Hell I don't know Russ. I just saw it and decided that since I had the AR10 I should have an AR15 to go with it I guess. This one is an Anderson Arms, made here in KY, with a 20" heavy barrel.

Think I might use it for a varmint/coyote gun.

What's the barrel twist?
Always nice to get a new gun.

Afternoon again, Woods! Back from the shop. Had a good time hangin out with my buddy. He is always busy but today was a rare slow day for him so we caught up a bit.

Russ, i drove my pickup so did not get the change removed. Maybe some other time, but I'd hate to lower the value. After all, that is Texas change in that console!

User reviews and reviews from PC Magazine, et al, will tell you more than I can. I use Ubuntu Linux for my OS and almost no one writes viruses, malware/spyware, or any of that BS for linux.

I was using Avast, and seemed like every update slowed it more. Minutes to boot up, could take over a minute to open and load firefox. Tried some others, even slower. Put Panda free version on my recent Win7 build, and it doesn't seem to have any effect on bootup, only a few seconds at worst opening programs the first time.

I've been playing with Linux, running it off a Knoppix boot cd. By default, Iceweasel (that's a Linux browser like Firefox for those that don't know) runs with scripts turned off, and loads way faster than Windows Browsers I've tried - except hdforums, has so many other websites stuff loading with it it chokes with scripts off. Planning to put a full install of Ubuntu on a hard drive, and since that's the one I plan to do all the financial stuff on, will use an antivirus. I liked Win XP, but dealing with Win7 convinced me to start the Linux learning curve.
