Kiki:  Dude like the new show, but you guys failed in the most popular ar rounds side....at least in my neck of the woods besides 223/556....308 nato, 9mm and 22 lr rule.....not to many people go to wild cat rounds like grendal, 6.8spc or 300 aac around here.....alot of 308s and 9mm carbines.....anyway keep it up... Josh Wood - Dallas, TX:  Jake, You read my email on air about Targetmaster in Garland. Is there anything that can be done to increase my chances of winning? :) I got a wonderful deal on a mostly milspec AR for $500 from a friend that was desperate for some cash. Did a little work on a Glock I sold him for the price. Anyhow, I love the rifle, but while  the charging handle looks black and matches in low lighting, it is actually purple! I don't know if he cannibalized this from his wife's rifle or what, but man would I love that sweet charging handle. Anyhow, mostly joking. I did give you a five star review on iTunes and didn't even have an account with them, set it up just for you :). Love all that you do and will review your AR 15 podcast soon. Also five stars. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for everything including reading my email. Good luck with the new podcast. Seems to be going well so far. Bob:  About time! A excellent first episode. How often ? Max: Hey Jake, I just wanted to say great show! I found your podcast last week and have found it to be very informative. I am experienced with the m4/ar15 platform from serving in the Marine Corps. Currently I am serving with 3rd Force Reconnaissance Co. 4th Marine Division. I have shared your podcast with my fellow marines and now we all look forward to your show every week.
