Re: DIY Solar Air Heating Panel w/pics!
I don't have time to find the link right now (I'm in between bouts of working on the snow in the driveway), but getting the notification email for this thread reminded me to post that there's a forum/group hosted on Yahoo Groups that's all about just building these types of solar heaters.

Re: Mega Arms - Don't bother!
Jer, I followed you over from ZS. I wouldn't be as hard on Mega as you're being right now. The entire AR-15-related industry is in utter chaos right now. I've waited past the projected due date twice so far on parts from Aimpoint and LaRue Tactical and both of those companies have reputations as bei...
