Midway is running a sale on the Aimpoint Micro T-1. $499.99 without any mount, which won't be a problem for those that are going to buy a high mount for an AR anyway. Use coupon code "182011" to get the sale price.
I see that Midway and Carolina Shooter Supply have the VLTOR AR collapsible stock adapters for stamped AK rifles in stock. These have been sold out everywhere pretty much since 2008. Just thought that's I'd let everyone know.
I've gone for ACE stock adapters, because I want to add folder hinges at some point when I find the money.
I think this is kind of cool, except for the now-superfluous Ruger front sight sitting out there on the barrel. A Bushmaster ACR-type stock for Ruger Mini rifles. Seems the stocks fit both Mini-14s and Mini-30s. Has a one-size-fits-some grip - like the ACRs. Has a cheekpiece adjustable for height - like the ACRs. The stocks have integrated sling QD swivel sockets, like an enhanced ACR (the basic models don't have sockets forward of the magwell). The length of pull is adjustable, like most AR carbine stocks. The stock does not fold.
I'm told that the scope rail is aluminum, not polymer. The flip-up sights will probably be included, and I'd bet money that they're ProMag sights, because Archangel is a division of ProMag.
The Sparta stocks have not been released for sale yet. Rumor has it, that they're working on getting the stocks to be a universal fit, but Ruger has changed the design of the Minis over the last few decades, and that's causing some issues.
On a somewhat related note; the Archangel Marauder stocks that convert Ruger 10/22s into a G36 look-alike have started shipping, but they seem to be sold out everywhere. The Midway price is $160 or $170, and I'm sort of thinking of buying one before HK sues and issues a cease and desist order. A little bit cheesy, and the stock probably ruins the accuracy of the rifle a bit, because the scope rail on the stock isn't bolted directly to the top of the receiver or the barrel. It is, however, cheaper than an airsoft G36, and I've already got a 10/22 to drop into it. Hmm.
I realized that I had a collection of reviews, and just maybe some wisdom to share. I hope to keep the information as unbiased as humanly possible.
Why do I bother writing all this stuff? When I buy something, I want it to work the way I want it to. I hope that what goes around, comes around, and that I'll find the reviews or advice that I need when I go looking for information.
The items reviewed on the blog are, almost without exception, purchased or rented by myself, with real money.
I am also kind of hoping that maybe someone in the right position may see some glimmer of genious in my ramblings, and help get me a paying gig at a gun magazine or website.
I hope that some of this nonsense in the blog is helpful to someone.

About Me
Some of you may wonder what the deal with the nickname is.It’s short for Suburban Commando, a nick I picked up in high school.A few companions that were a little left of center though it was quite funny, I accepted it out of spite.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a Glocker.I really can’t have nice things, so the basic black pistols work just fine for me.
I’ve also shot rimfire benchrest.I even managed to win a local match.My best score to date was shot with a completely rebuilt Ruger 10/22 with a KID trigger and barrel, although my Remington 40XRBR is more consistant.
I started shooting rimfire benchrest in 2004, I think.I got into action pistol competitions in 2006.
