Tuesday Night, January 20th, in Las Vegas Details to be announced.     Main Topic:   Reed and Steve talk with Stacey Nagy, from Primary Weapons Systems also known as PWS. The AR-15 Giveaway Winner: John Wind   Feedback: Samuel L: What did santa bring you? Josh I: The girl is getting better. Jesse C: My son is home on leave so we went to the range today! Jesse C: The rifle on top is the one I made my wife, today was our first day shooting it! Talk about a rifle that shoots smooth as butter!  (The rifle is an Anderson Mfg Lower with a PSA upper. The furniture is 1960's surplus A1, a 20" pencil style barrel with a Bushmaster Threaded Izzy Muzzle Brake and A1 sight base. The grip is a Hogue Over-molded and the trigger is a Spikes Tactical Battle Trigger.) Roger T, Burlington, NC:  Hello,  I can't remember the exact episode, but a while back you guys had a listener write in talking about how their AR buffer is getting chewed up. A lot of folks assume it's the pin that retains the buffer that chews up the buffer, however if you pay close attention while attaching the upper and lower receiver you will see that the bolt carrier group pushes the buffer back in the tube, also the bolt carrier has a keyway cut for clearance of that buffer retaining pin. In one of my ar's and a small handful of M16's I've seen this chewed up buffer problem. Unless you lower is out of spec the buffer retaining pin is only used to keep the buffer in place during assembly/disassembly of the rifle. Every time I've encountered this problem it's been a burr left on the back of the bolt carrier keyway during the machining process, I've simply deburred  that area, then replaced the buffer and carried on without issue.  I'm not saying this is that listeners problem, but it's somewhere to look. I'm a huge fan of the show, and loved the Marine Christmas poem. M Chan: Hey guys: Great show this week. I'm just getting into 3 gun and found the interview to be very helpful. I am writing to see if you would be willing to do a show on muzzle brakes. There are so many options at a wide range of prices and it's hard to see distinguish the wheat from the chaff. Thanks. Arturo:  Hi Reed, While at shot show I hope you have time to checkout the new G2 line of .308 AR rifles from DPMS. It looks to be a really great evolution of the AR10 style rifle.   Outro: Send us any questions or comments to feedback@ar15podcast.com You can also send us a recorded voicemail by using the Speak Pipe Plugin on the right hand side of the AR15Podcast website Subscribe and listen to the AR-15 Podcast for free in iTunes or on Stitcher and leave us a review so the show can place higher in the searches for potential listeners Share your pics with us on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/groups/blackrifle/ or follow us on Instagram at com/ar15podcast and tag your pictures with #ar15podcast Follow us on G+ to watch us LIVE at https://plus.google.com/+Ar15podcast Check out our YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/c/ar15podcast Follow us on Facebook com/ar15podcast Check out the other great podcasts on the Firearms Radio Network

As mentioned, Gun Log SPC does not use iCloud and your data is only on your device. The app does not (nor ever will) take any of your data and send it somewhere else. The Gun Log apps are first and foremost range logs. You have to have your inventory of firearms and ammunition to make a good range log, so the app is also an excellent inventory app. The app tracks failures, firing sets, maintenance, and all more. I also wrote a G1 ballistics calculator to help you get on paper. I wrote all the code, there are no third party libraries, in the app at all. With that said, that is the reason there is no bar code scanner, I did not want to use a third party software tool to read bar codes without knowing that the bar code scanner library isn't harvesting data. You can read about the app here:  http://gunlogspc.blogspot.com/ I would love to give the give Mr. Hardy some free downloads of Gun Log SPC that could be shared with your audience. If he will contact me, the contact info is in the app, I will hook him up so he can hook you up. There is only me, one programmer, no one else. I do this on the side. Want a code?  Like the AR-15 Podcast Facebook Page! I want one too Arturo:  Have 10 FRN listeners contacted you "guys" about Shot Show yet? Pete: Hey guys, finally getting caught up on podcasts (ARP 097) and thought I would send a picture of this monstrosity I saw at the 2014 Chicago gun show... It's like playing Where's Waldo trying to find the muzzle from the front. Still lovin the podcast and it's really great how the show has progressed in quality and content. I'd love to hear what Patriot Ordnance Firearms (POF) has going on if you guys see them at Shot Show, don't recall you guys ever mentioning them, really a very solid gun. I've owned one for a while, mine is the 18" version, fluted barrel, button rifled, piston gun with a really nice POF trigger. Very accurate, low muzzle rise and allows faster follow up shots than any other AR I have shot. Only downside of the rifle is weight, pretty noticeable, especially after a full day of shooting and lugging around from stage to stage. Your show inspired me to build an AR on my own and am really glad I did. Decided to do a lightweight version unlike the POF. I went with a Rock River 2 stage based on a friends advice...not my cup tea, feels more like excess creep more than anything else and don't really like the longer reset. I don't get the fascination with those. Anyway I will end up replacing with the POF single stage, again, a big fan, very crisp. Keep up the great podcast! Mike R, Skagit Shooting Range: Reed, Anthony, JR - What a great show as always, you all bring a great element to the podcast. First of all - Why the heck don't Rick and his "team" of survivors use the suppressors all the time? It really frustrates me on so many levels - First those walkers are attracted to sound. Second  your hearing? I'm thinking it's really important to have great hearing in the zombie Apocalypse.
