Summary: Welcome to Episode #134 of the AR15 Podcast. One thing that makes the AR-15 such a great platform is the wide variety of caliber choices you can make when putting one together. One of those is the Thumper, the .450 Bushmaster. We want to let you know about a new source of cool products! Go to http://patriotpatch.co/ to pre-order the Huckleberry patch and buy FRN stickers. Also, the Firearms Radio Network will be at the 2015 BullPup Shoot in Mount Carroll, IL on September 19th. Go to bullpupshoot.com for more info.

During the alternating weeks, we’ll be giving away a host of Otis tools and cleaning supplies. Feedback: James M: Hey guys, love the show. I listen when I have time in the car. Lots of great information to keep me backed up with lots of project ideas. My question is two fold, I clicked on your Amazon link to give you credit for me using Amazon, but is there a marker or url difference so I can know you got credit. Also as frequent shopper on Amazon is there a way for me to make sure my browser always gives you credit. Of course please answer this same question with regards to your more important sponsor... Brownells, as I sure want them to know your listeners are using them. Keep up the good work. Robert: Hi Guys! I love the show, I've been listening to and reading everything I can get my hands on since I got the black rifle bug at the end of 2012. I recently found your show and downloaded all the podcasts that were available on iTunes (back to episode 103), which is about 30 episodes. I noticed that the Peter Schiff show has podcasts about 90 episodes available, but they are shorter in length (20-30 minutes) compared to your show (which is about 1:20:00). Also, the reloading podcast allowed me to download about 40 episodes averaging an hour each. So it looks like iTunes only allows about 40 hours of any podcast? So, how difficult would it be to make them available in an mp3 format? I only have time to listen to them when I'm in the car or going for a walk, and I live in an area where cell reception is rather dreadful, so I can't play them directly from your website, or while sitting at a desk. Eager for more Joel Frederick: Great interview, thanks... I've been a Vortex fan for a while... Have a couple of their scopes and a pair of their binoculars… Austin Ledbetter: Which trigger do you prefer for AR15 and which for an Ar10/LR308? I am a Geissele man myself but hear good thing about Timney and some others, except on reliability with primers. Geissele is the only one I have yet to hear about having a light primer strike or not being able to set off all mil-spec primers with consistency. Love the show and thanks for the help Mark M: Hey guys, I was listening to episode 130, and Reed mentioned he has a safe with no carpeting in it.
