Ooo-Rah! Congrats. Carry On.

Not really surprised. We all kinda knew that this typical, knee-jerk reaction would come flowing out of our government after Friday. All we can do is, like you say, get on the phones to our elected officials and kindly remind them that not all of us mentally disturbed / sick and twisted / emotionally unstable / fucked in the head......insert descsription of sicko here. As usual....it's the weapons fault, and not the demented person using it. This disgust's me.

Welcome Trickpony. Sounds like you got the right idea from the parts you have.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

The sad truth is that you're right Edge. The anti-gunners will be jumping all over this, as we all already knew that they would. Sick and twisted creeps like this just drag the rest of us law abiding individuals down with them. Rome wasn't built in a day........but it sure seems like it fell that fast. We'll be the next Roman Empire at the pace we're going. Once again.....thoughts and grievances for the families involved.

THAT is one bad-ass looking unit. I think I need to take my pants off now.

Doesn't make any sense. With all of the fucked up people in this world, why shoot up an elementary school? This society is really screwed these days.

That's some nice machining done there Coleman. Out-Fing-standing.

Bought myself a Sig P220 Elite Dark with a factory threaded barrel for Christmas. Something else for my Ti-rant to fit on. Should be here next week. Still waiting on the POF P308 w/12" barrel that I ordered last frickin Christmas. Dealer wasn't kidding when he said that it might take a while. Still waiting on the ACOG TA-11E that I ordered from him back in October. Oh........and 2 more Armalite 10B lowers. And as always..........ammo.

Now you've got me interested and curious Maduce. I'm looking forward to hearing (and seeing) more.

Just to let all the guys know. I see that this stuff is back in stock at cheaper than dirt. 500 round lots.

Yep. I believe the official title would be. Flow chart for weapons allowed to be owned by citizens of the state Revision 1.0 Author : J. Stalin Can't wait to see Rev 1.1 Glad I'm on the right (and not the left) coast. <laughs>

Hey there. Come on in.

Welcome to the insane asylum unlocked.

I agree with Edge. Plenty of cheap enough (relatively <laughs>) brass ammo out there. Leave the steel for the russian rifles. They don't seem to care. Though.......in full disclosure.....I put a couple thousand rounds of steel-cased wolf through one of my armalite AR-10 carbine's. It never had a problem, and never burped while eating it up. Since then though...........nothing but brass......even cheap brass. As far as the O-ring? Probably a matter of opinions. Armalite uses the O-ring, and I've put thousands of rounds thru (once again) one of my carbine's.

You got it right Blue! <laughs>

And that alone, should remind all of us to stay on top of our equipment. Just more proof that "poop happens" even when it's beyond our control. We can build it....shoot it....clean it....repair it. But any of us can look right at something and maybe not see it. No exception. None of us. When it's a mechanical failure, it's totally out of your hands. I agree with Robo. We all will have AD's. It's never intentional. That's why it's called accidental. We're just called lucky as long as nobody gets injured when it happens. Just my opinion. Ron

As if that round isn't pricey enough. <laughs> Nice............but pricey.

imschur hit it right on the head my man. It's just election year blues. Parts and ammo sem to get scarce and expensive. All you can do is keep a sharp eye out as either become available. Unfortunately, we don't make the rules........we just have to live by them.

That thing is bad-ass!

I'm right there with you outlaw. That's what lead me to "piecing" them together also. Looking forward to this thing as it comes together.

Some things are best left unsaid. Let sleeping dogs lie my brother.

Now why can't guys like us stumble across finds like this? On a more serious note. It's a good thing to see that the officer knew what he was looking at, and knew it's value......in dollars and to history. <thumbsup>

How can you not like Abbott and Costello? I'm in my mid-forties and I remember laughing my ass off to them as a kid. Hell.....they can still make me laugh today. But, then again.....so can looney toons.....tom and jerry.....etc. Ok, I thought I was in my forties.....apparently I'm still a little kid in my head. And I'm pretty sure that the ex-wife would agree. :cookoo:

Anytime you're running the suppressor, make sure that the carrier is lubed up well. These beast's like the carrier's pretty "wet" without the suppressors. I usually run a good light film of high temperature bearing grease on mine (plus a little on the lugs.....not too much though) when I'm planning to run suppressed. Different guys have different views on the grease on the lugs. I'm only speaking on what works well on mine (Armalite's). As with the gas.....even using hot loads, I find it always good to start it out tuned down low, and slowly work it up until the bolt holds open on the last round. I run adjustable blocks on just about all of mine and don't seem to have any issues. Now, with all of this said, I haven't tried using the LMOS carriers yet so I can't really have an honest opinion about them. I do know that others on the board use/or have used them, and are much more qualified to comment on them. In short, trial and error is always a good solid form of testing to see how your rifle likes to run. Ron
