This has been photographically documented and confirmed!

Yeah....I should have bought a bunch of amazon stock when they hit the market, but can’t live in the past.

PRI Handguards on sale 25% off on DVOR. FYI.

I like the pull both pins approach. We’ll have to get some shiit stuck and see.

Alright. I’ll buy that.

Yep. They can detach, but you either have to be featureless, or you have to separate the lower from the upper by at least the rear pin and rotate forward on the front. I’m installing Hellfighters that do just that for the moment and these old school bullet buttons no longer meet the laws. They’re trash, but I figure there might be another state that is currently at our previous level of stupidity they would work for. If not, off to the garbage. To be clear, I’m offering these free of charge. I’ll mail them to you. the downside to the new law is you have to close the bolt before you can separate the lower to remove the mag. This actually creates a dangerous situation for the user because there are certain jams that require you to drop the mag. How do you separate a lower with the bolt back even a smidge? I think first you remove the stock and buffer tube...but wait, the bolt doesn’t fit through the threads for the buffer tube. Scratch that...maybe I can poke a stick in there and pry the rounds out? Dumbest solution ever and I hope I’m the first guy to lose a finger trying to follow their laws. Gotta be an attorney out there somewhere who would take the case.

Shiit. I thought they’ve been saying “defund” the police. Maybe it’s just the accent and we’re on the same side after all....

As soon as the “don’t complicate shiit...” came out, I almost set out with the goal to make no two parts of the same manufacturer....but I failed. Next time. This is a test run. If I like it, I may wind up with two. More nice parts to put nice parts in, and make one a little more dollar friendly grade. I can pick up a taccom bolt and run it with this upper ( and take advantage of the added ramp) and move the JP over to the other.

Ouch....that hurt a little. And it’s not true. Whole buffer tube, castle nut, stock and most of the LPk are strike industries. Bolt and recoil system are JP and made to go together. I probably should have gone with a JP barrel, but didn’t pay attention to them having an ultralight until after the fact. It ain’t as bad as CMMG....that’s just harsh. edit to remove charging handle. Already forgot I got talked into the Raptor.

I don’t know if I want them to machine my JP bolt to match their $130 barrel, but maybe? Like I said...I’ll run it without. I can see where it might be useful, but if it feeds fine without it...why bother? it won’t get much more complicated. There really isn’t anything else I can do to complicate it....is there?

This is what they have to say about it:

Took this off their site. My barrel is the same 5.25” with an aluminum shroud pinned and welded to 16”. See that top piece? They have to machine a notch in your built to use it.

Any states still ok with the use of a regular old bullet button? They’re no good here anymore and I have 4-5 Of them new in box. If they work for you, and your state is still ok with them...shoot me a message. I’m breaking the rules and don’t have a photo, or a price. I just want them to go somewhere other than the trash.

I’ve got an older Strike LPK. Waiting on the trigger and buffer tube to come in before I put the lower together. the Taccom barrel comes with an upper guide that is supposed to help with the feed. It protrudes into the upper and is removable. They’ll modify my bolt to clear it for free, just gotta ship it to them. I’m going to run it without that piece and see how it goes. I’ll get a picture of it up when I start assembly.

Figures. Got the KNS pins sitting here already.

He’s been traveling around for the last several years exploring areas he might want to shop. They had a beautiful spot in Utah, but the access was a forestry road that is closed for several months during winter and the only in and out is via snowmobile. Not exactly a good retirement spot for an “older” couple. I say “older” because they’re practically kids compared to some of you on this site. He talks a lot about leaving, but we’ll see. He wanted to retire at 60 which was a couple years ago now. I’m here waiting on parts. Shitty pic, but a few pieces are in.

Every topping off beam ceremony I’ve been a part of, the beam is immediately removed as soon as the guests go home.

What weights are on your SCS currently? All steel, or mix of steel and tungsten?

I truly appreciate that offer sir, but I’ll see how she does on the Aero. Being that I’m building a standard AR lower, if I don’t like it for the 9mm it just goes to another gun. I didn’t realize how many lowers I had stashed away. I think I found 4 in the safe. I re-watch Bill’s video on selecting which of his triggers is right for you and the Super Dynamic 3 gun sounds perfect for a PCC build. Less of an “accuracy” trigger and more about speed and reset. The flat trigger gives the feel of about a pound less...so it will feel like a 2.5lb trigger with a really short reset. That’s the main thing that makes me want to try one on it. I absolutely love the SSA-E I threw into my dad’s rifle. As I type this, I was thinking to say I haven’t put much time behind the DMR because to be honest, a heavy 24” barreled 5.56 isn’t really all that much fun....which was a fucked up thought, because I just realized that I should build an entirely different upper for that lower too in a more accuracy based caliber. But where that thought was stemming from was to say I’ve been really pleased with the G triggers and there’s already enough in this build for another $240 in a trigger. Don’t think there’s any sales coming anytime soon. The trigger ain’t bad compared to the furniture I’m considering. I’ve ordered enough to dress her up, but I have something stupidly expensive and maybe a little impractical messing with my head right now. The personal accountant caught my transfers to the credit card last week. Then caught me again red handed with my CC in my lap as I finished ordering parts this weekend. Having just given birth, I think she would get off with a slap on the wrist if she killed me right now. It makes considering spending another $800-$1000 on a trigger and furniture a tough call. Also thinking I built the wrong gun to celebrate the new son. Doc Thomas might just need a Tommy gun added to the collection - though that may have to wait until grandpa moves to a free state. He’s looking to get out. Probably going to wind up in AZ, but maybe NV.

You build a thousand bridges.....do they call you Ron the Bridge Builder? No. ....but you suck one glock.....

From the rumors....since I missed a fall shoot....I’m not thinking I’d ever doubt a word you say. That’s a sweet little pistol.

I’m in the same boat with you. The RMR was neat, but I prefer the irons.

Giggidy giggidy. Barrel, upper, BCG and SCS showed up today. Forgot the barrel at my office. I’m waiting on a billion other parts still. KNS pins and DSG trigger guard showed up last week. Giggidy.

The brown ones are.
