So for another rotation around this giant rock. A BIG ol salute to the original Captain of the USS Enterprise. William Shatner.....slinging dick throughout the galaxy for 94 years today. All ahead full Sir! Steady as she goes.

I was thinking the same thing.

We're all over the map here in the DC region. We go anywhere from the high 20's to low 70's. All you can do is layer up in the AM and slowly peel it off throughout the day.

I'll have my people contact your people for scheduling.

Does that mean that I can get back on the schedule to have my 10 SASS tiger striped?

So was I brother. But here we go. Oh......and Mr Silverback.

Fine, Fine you Fuker. I'll get the rail for crying out loud. I'm at work at the moment, so I'll look into ordering it when I get back to the house. It's showing back ordered for a couple weeks at the minimum through Optics Planet. Right around 250 (ish) for 15". I think I've got a couple black rain lower receivers siting around somewhere that I could build off of one of these. I suppose I could get another 18" MK12 (556) barrel and try to make it a decent mid-range distance gun. Maybe. FUKER!

Now just pump the brakes a little bit there big boy. None of us forced you to go out and buy a complete upper. More or less a 700 dollar completed upper with no BCG or CH. Who do they think they are, PSA? Where I would normally fall on the grenade for the rest of the team. It ain't gonna be this 700 dollar grenade. I mean, it's not even an Armalite.

Yep. I use phase tape around my mags to differentiate them. Red for the hotter (faster) 5.56, and blue for the slower 300 blk. My Grendel uses different mags than Pmags.

Close. I grew up in MD by the main lines (bottom of my street) going between DC and New York. It was inevitable that I would become a train nerd. As well as the other nerdoms that I have.

That's a nice looking build there. I love suppressed rifles.

Yep. Most definitely. Buy once, cry once.

Noveske makes outstanding barrels. They cost a little more, but they're nothing but quality. They're what I've used for most of my builds. With better ammo, you'll be able to tighten that group up. But out of the box, 2 MOA will still drop a target.

I think that we all can come up with an easy solution for that.

Just because you're done buying doesn't mean that you can't come out play big boy.

Yeah, I haven't posted a whole lot myself, mainly cause I haven't been doing any major type of builds lately. After the last MK12 build, I'm mainly down to waiting to upgrade glass on some rifles. And that's where my glass snobbery comes down to me moving at glacier-type speeds. The cost of some of the optics, as we all know, can kick you right in the nad section of your wallet. Just as an example. I need new glass for the following: MRAD - Possibly looking at a Steiner T6 series / Nightforce NXS or NX8 series AR31 - Probably looking at the same options AR10 Carbine (one of them) - Need to trade up from the old ACOG. Haven't truly decided on a new make yet. DSA OSW - Don't like the Sig glass currently riding on this thing. POF P308 - Being another short barrel, bare minimum is another EOTech setup like on the MK18. So that's just 5 off the top of my head. And being that I understand that it's a high quality problem to be having. It's also a pricey one to resolve. And over the past year, I've been trying to pay off other major stuff on the house. That waterproofing on my basement alone was just about 40 K. So a lot of other things have taken a back seat. But, that being said, I've knocked about half off of that bill already, so maybe by mid-year I'll be able to start reallocating funding back into the glass acquisition division of R2 Enterprises. Besides getting back into building other rifles. After all, I've still got a Black Rain 10 matched receiver set to get around to building, and another couple small frame receiver sets to work on. As you were ladies.

Another great find Rene. I didn't realize this either. Duly noted.

OK. That actually made me laugh out loud to myself.

You would think that. But then, you would be thinking logically. And that word rarely goes along with our government. I've waited anywhere between 6 months and a year on the ATF in the past. Not that I had the military background. But just as a civvy, I thought it was ridiculous then. But, whatcha gonna do right? Hopefully, with Kash Patel acting as the temporary director of the ATF on top of being the FBI director, he'll start dismantling some of the nonsensical bull$hit within the ATF.

This is great news for the gun world either way. This will be interesting to see what he does.

Gotta love these old training cartoons.

Well, we can only hope that she, and the other DJT nominees are playing the same long game that the scumbag leftist did during the Biden confirmations. That is, saying whatever that they need to, to get past this portion and then to get the vote from the senate. Once in, it's back to doing what the boss wants them to do. Because we know at this point, Trump isn't putting up with any bull$hit this time. People don't perform, and they'll be shown the door.

Yes and Yes. Also a Yes. How did you guess?

Home made hot pockets. But they look way better. Plus, I know how you can cook.
