Got it. I need to save that originating address in my contacts--otherwise gmail sends it to spam (btw, contact now saved!) Thanks for all you do for us on the board!

I picked up a Maglight ML25 yesterday at Wal-Mart. It was on clearance for $15 so I snatched it up (there was only one.) It does have the high and low modes. The low mode is quite generous lumen-wise (or so it seems) and is plenty for routine use in lights-out conditions. It is now the nightstand li...

How about this to add to the conundrum-- I am seriously considering changing the 2-8x scope on my only (at the moment) scoped AR for a 3-12x model.
