Welcome. I still don't understand the ten day wait. The biggest mind boggler about it is that if you order a gun....and it takes over a year to show up....you still have to go to the dealer, sign papers and start the"extra 10 day wait". Just in case you ordered that gun a year ago with ill intentions. You know...an extra 10 days might cool you down
What?!? The PowerPoint blksheep posted says that stuff is awesome?? Sounded convincing to me...but I don't know crap. I'm sure good things will come of it. I usually have the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude, but hey...if they can break it...it'll give the industry something to fix.
Oh good...they're going to replace the lead with copper....because you know, that stuff wasn't pricey enough already. Wouldn't want your enemies dying of lead poisoning. I wonder what's next?
Lol...it's not really my theory, but I buy into it!
Funny how we have threads bitching about the snow, and threads bitching about the heat. If all you guys would move to so cal, we could out number the damn libs and take this place back.
Whatever you do...live as far from the trailer park as you possibly can!! Those things seem to generate shitty weather....
Must be some sort of static from all of the properly spaced materials.
That's a hell of an accomplishment micro! Nice job! I hope to be able to say the same in 15 years...aside from the 30 year habit part...more like 16 for me. Quit for a year once...
But enough of that. Wee were talking about poop. Sorry, carry on.
It gets expensive quick. Good glass ain't cheap. I bet I'm approaching the cost of a new truck with the money I have into photo gear. I'm done buying new bodies. The mk-II was the last body I will dump over 3k on. It sells now for like $500 and its fine with me.
One down. Pics and some test firing hopefully this weekend.
Total BCM upper. 14.5 middy with pinned BCM comp, bcg and gunfighter handle, DD 9" Omega rail, CTR stock, Ergo grip, SSA-E topped with a 512 and the good ol A1 fsb. She feels nice.
I was gonna suggest an iPhone....
My wife has one of the canon powershot cameras. She seems to like it. I've either got the 1dmk-IIN or my phone. Really, I like the phone.
This was my first thought when I read this thread. Haven't had that problem in a while though. Coming up on 5 months now as a quitter...again. Maybe it will stick this time. I have noticed that the coffee alone won't get me...but that first cig on top of sure as hell used to work.
Great info you guys are adding. This was my hope for this thread. A lot of us non mechanical folk try to attack things we just don't know enough about. Tips like these could help save a lot of time and heartache for the next guy who wants to do it, but has no background experience in tapping. Thanks for all the ifo guys!
Man, I can't believe it worked. I also can't believe my wife let me do that on her stove!
Editing to add:
Total cost of the beaker and a 500g bottle of Alum shipped to my door was just under $30. Could have save about $6 and got the 100g bottle. Didn't know how much I would need.
