Welcome from San Diego.

I’m sure he ca develop a load that hurts.

That’s funny.

Honestly, I would build a 16” and run it. If you ever change your mind and don’t want to build a whole separate rifle, you can change the barrel or build a second upper.

Welcome from San Diego.

I was thinking the same. Have a bottle of chloroform in case he gets second thoughts. He’ll wake up in AZ and might not even be mad...

If there was a perfect do all barrel contour and gas length...there wouldn’t be any others. If the weight doesn’t bother you and you want the accuracy and the look of the heavier fluted barrel...go for it. And then build another one next time the bank allows it.

Welcome from San Diego.

I’d get out of the chat box and get on the phone with them. Someone up the chain deserves to hear the story. I get the fine print. I also see that it was within a day. Unless that email was a flash sale “today only”, I think any decent company would honor that price. Especially being a whole 34 dollars. It’s likely that the chat box is general customer service and not someone from the company. I would give a call and express the fact that the situation was disappointing and will likely affect future purchases. Not sharing that as a threat of losing you as a customer, but as a former customer who feels their process is potentially turning folks away and they should be aware. I still wouldn’t buy the gun from them, but would provide the feedback and hopefully add weight to future decisions on their end. I think businesses need to know how their policies are working. And I would refuse to purchase the gun at even a deeper discount after the phone call. “No thank you, I didn’t call to beat down the price, just to share my story. Have a great day.”

Cheap bastards.

As much as I’d love to see you down here...stay the hell away from California. I’ll meet you in AZ someday!

I don’t buy that a bit. Wish I had been there though. Hopefully next year. I might have to do spring just because.

@Matt.Cross is a true American hero. I can honestly say, I’m damn glad he had a chance to meet me. hopefully he heard that story enough times to know what it means. I’m truly honored to have camped with the guy and look forward to doing so again some day.

It’s a little more like pointing at the target. Most times.

Start planning like crazy and watch for. Black Friday sales.

Poor quality control. Somebody saved a buck making those.

That dumbass came up with the pvc too...it worked, until Vera showed her ugly face.

Instead of the chain I’d like to run a straight piece of heavy rebar between the 2x’s. That runs through eye bolts on the target and allows the target to rotate and dissipate energy a little. We should be able to come up with something pretty cheap.

2x4’s are cheaper than t-posts. Lighter too. If we made some stands for them, it would really be worth it. Broken 2x’s go in the fire and walla....no trash to haul home.

Vera has broken more target stands than targets...just sayin.

That base looks heavy to tote around. Use one of those 4x4 post mailbox bases with a spike on the end. Put a couple bolts through it to limit the size to 2x4. or just make an angle iron brace like we had for the 1x2’s. Don’t have a picture of it handy. You can buy similar tops on the web somewhere. I’ve seen them before.

Decisions decisions. I don’t think the foot traffic would be heavy enough to support walk in sales.

Reverse engineer, or make you one?
