Most interesting thing I’ve found so far – complate Magpul’s lower with stock for $150.
That’s worth picking up two or three if you have the coin. No one ever complained about having too many complete lower halves.

My only Cyber Monday purchase was an Ancestry DNA kit. They were 30% off the usual $99, Cyber Monday only. I have no idea what to expect.
Might wanna rethink that:
Ancestry.com colludes with police to share your genetic information in violation of privacy rights
Ancestry.com Allegedly Caught Sharing Customer DNA Data With Police
Ancestry.com shares DNA with police
Thanks for that. Several family members have been talking about having generic screenings done. I know I will not being doing it through Ancestry, if I do it at all.
Did you leave your DNA somewhere you shouldn’t have?
I genuinely hope youre not about to get into that whole “If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear” nonsense.
In this day and age, everyone does something they ‘shouldnt’ every day.
If they want your DNA they can get it without you even knowing!!!
This is true, but why make it easy for them?
23 and Me is a viable alternative.

I suppose for people who are into this sort of thing it may be good to know. Personally, I care far less about where I’ve been and a lot more about where I’m going. But…if someone wants to find out that they are 1/256th Mongolian or something, hey, more power to ’em.
Being 1/256th Mongolian is what got me into Harvard.
Too late for that. Besides, my curiosity has become overwhelming.
Emergency essentials had some deals, Oakley SI, JRH had 3X magnifiers for PVS14’s for decent price. was shamed into a new comforter/duvet from Target online lol.
Wondering about doing the Ancestry thing, except getting the samples from my dog…
“According to these results, you’re 1/4 German, 1/4 Belgian, and 1/2 Pekingese.”
On the whole DNA kit stuff, I considered it last year and did some research. Ironically, me wife was talking about it earlier today so I dug up some links for her, I’ll share them here:

FWIW, the “Family Tree DNA” brand seems to be the best all around.
just watched a genetics expert debunk that whole industry as no more than snake oil. sorta like those old coat of arms and heraldry scams years ago. “look honey, i’m decedent from the 14th earl of crappingham.” they can tell where your mother came from, buts that’s another very expensive test. father? well his dna is mixed with that of the ages, so any specific heritage is statistically useless. sad, because i really wanted to know myself and all my male ancestors are dead. as to uncle sugar, well he has my dna along with every other service member since the 80’s.
