Picked up a Mossberg 715T today !

I finally bought my first gun in New York a Mossberg 715T. No 6 position stock allowed on rifles and no more than 10 round mags in New York. So i did not exactly get the model of 715T i wanted but it was close.
I plan on getting some 715 accessories like a vertical grip,sling,flashlight and maybe a green laser.
The 715T i picked up came with a 16.5" barrel and has an overall length of about 34.75".
The rifle did come with a red dot sight made by Barska which was a nice addition.
The ATI fixed stock came with a sling mount stud which i plan to use for adding a one point bungee sling.
The rifle comes with one magazine but i picked up an extra one and plan on buying a few more online.
The magazines are shorter than your average 22 magazine because they are staggered to save space.
The version I got was the flat top version so it also came with a set of removeable front and rear iron sights. I plan on switching these out for the flip up front and rear sights.
I also picked up an AR15 case by Blackhawk and a box of CCI AR tactical ammo.
Next week i plan on taking this bad boy to the range and i will do a review on how it performs.

US Military New Bayonet

I feel sorry for the enemy, this is one nasty looking blade. Dubbed the Adaptive Combat Bayonet or ACB this nasty little poker is made in Italy by company called Fox. Constructed from 440C steel its 7" long and 3/16" thick. The blade is also coated to avoid reflections and has a big belly like a Cold Steel Spartan that tapers down to a nice to some double row saw teeeth. Can you ouch ?

Doomsday Preppers - post Sandy thinking..

With tropical storm Sandy passing over the east coast and destroying mostly property here in Long Island New York. I'm mostly stuck at home. My cable and cell phone service has been restored but whats creating the big issue for most New Yorkers now in the post Sandy madness is gas.

Yesterday I had to drive two towns over to get gas at a station that just got a tanker in. After waiting about 2 hours in line and almost getting in the gas station we had the pleasure of hearing the police announce over the loud speaker that we should all go home as the gas was done.

Is there really a gas shortage here or are people just hording the gas ? Who knows...but it got me thinking about my SHTF plan and re-evaluating the contents of my bug out bag.

When I lived in Florida I was a lot more prepared for natural disasters. Lots of can food,Storm matches,knives,my looter stick (Maverick 88 shotgun),radio,gps and the whole nine.

Living in New York has made me more lapse about SHTF prep and with the after effects of Sandy still hurting this city and gas in short suply. I am stuck at home watching Doomsday Preppers and getting some good ideas.

Two things are missing from my SHTF prep kit is a .22 cal rifle and a nice 12 ga shottie. Two things I will procure as soon as my next Adsense check comes in :)
