benefits not available in other compact semi-autos on the market today.
The black polymer frame features patented 4140 steel inserts molded
into the frame in the front and back for added rigidity and strength,
which can withstand firing thousands of rounds. Kahr’s incomparable
cocking cam trigger system employs a patented cam to both unlock the
firing pin block (passive safety), and complete cocking and releasing of
the firing pin. The system provides a “safe-cam action” and unbelievably
smooth double action only trigger stroke, fast to fire in critical defensive
situations. Many lower cost compact semi-autos on the market today do
not have firing pin blocks in their design.

boasts real sights, which are drift adjustable in the rear and a pinned-in

About: Pacific Walrus

AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal
misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry
firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was
founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained,
coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the
rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists,
the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the
first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since
they were instituted in 1994. Visit: www.azcdl.org

“However, thanks to PALS, hunters can now purchase the second spring
gobbler tag at any issuing agent and walk out of the store with the license
in hand, or they can purchase it online and wait for it to be mailed to
them within 10 days.”
Roe noted that all general hunting license holders are able to take one
spring gobbler as part of their general hunting privileges; the second
spring gobbler tag license affords those hunters interested in this
additional opportunity to take a second spring gobbler. Hunters may
only purchase one second spring gobbler license during a license year, as
the season limit remains two spring gobblers, and the daily harvest is
one bird per day.
“So, if you are looking for that application in your digest or online to mail
in, you won’t find it,” Roe said. “You can just purchase the special spring
gobbler license either through the Game Commission’s website or visit
Hunters Can Purchase Special Spring Gobbler Tag Now your local license issuing agent.”
Fees set by state law for the special license are $21.70 for residents and
$41.70 for nonresidents. For online orders, there are additional shipping
and handling costs.
The 2011 spring gobbler season is set to run from April 30-May 31. The
Board of Game Commissioners approved a change to the legal hunting
hours. Under the change, legal hunting hours from the opening day of
the spring gobbler season through the third Saturday (April 30-May 14)
will retain the long-standing one-half hour before sunrise until noon
timeframe. However, the remainder of the season (May 16-31) will be
expanded to run all day, from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half
hour after sunset.
Roe noted that the Board also extended the traditional closing day of the
spring season to May 31. This additional recreational hunting is provided

“Prior to the implementation of PALS, hunters had to wait until Jan. 1

“Without these dedicated volunteers, hunting in Michigan

would not be nearly as safe as it is today,” Wood said. There
were more than 23,000 students certified in 2010.
In addition to volunteers, Michigan conservation officers take active

roles in hunter education efforts. Officers are routinely involved through
classroom activities and field contacts.

The T68 Paintball Gun M4/M16 Carbine Kits come in your choice of
colors, including foliage green, dark earth, olive drab, black, and for very
special applications, red and blue as well. The kits come with upper and
lower handguards and the multi-position collapsible stock – swap them
out in moments, and you’ll be ready to rock!
Kits featuring the standard collapsible stock also come with an M16-style
pistol grip in matching color!
For owners of Tippmann, BT, Spyder, and other tactical markers, you
can even purchase an M4 Carbine Kit that attaches directly to your
marker…and they’re available in two hot configurations and all five
colors!
When you want to attach an air source directly to your marker, but don’t
want to hang a full size tank off of it or wrap yourself in a remote line,
here’s your solution: the 5oz/13ci Carbine Kit! By slightly enlarging the
tube at the heart of the collapsible stock, RAP4 engineers have designed
a unit that allows you to install that mini air tank directly on your
marker, then cover it up with the fully functional collapsible stock! Slide
it forwards to shorten your marker for CQB, slide it backwards to extend
your length of pull for more comfortable, and more solid, long-distance
shooting.
Both kits are available in those custom colors, so you can match your
marker to the olive drab in your BDUs, the dark earth in your tiger
stripes, or the foliage green in your digital cammies…or go with
standard-issue black. There are special police and military uses for the
red and blue furniture kits, but you might just use them to indicate which
