1000 feet of paracord.

I prefer Troy myself. I guess I am better than Robo, I can flip my Troys with 1 hand. :D

Jgun any word on your barrel yet?

Bright. I covered the gas block area, the barrel ext and threads with electrical tape. A couple of mins in a blast cabinet and it looked perfect.

Cool let us know what you think of it when they gets there.

That was a given, the DOJ is not going after the head of DOJ. Now it goes to Civil Court.

I got in 200 more PC of brass for my 6.8 today.

I was going to buy a 24". I called over there and talked to Woody and told him what I was looking for. He suggested I get one of there Vamitac barrels. It was about $100 less that's was planning on spending. I mailed them a check, they do not take credit cards. I had the barrel in my hands 8 days from when I mailed the check. It the best barrel I have owned. I will buy more. Here is a target from sighting it in. It was shot off of a bench at 300 yards.

I am very happy with my Walther 20" barrel.

Thanks, they are Sig grips and were hard to find.

The anchor is the new Navy version. I think it has the inside parts coated so they can be used around sea water with less rusting. Here is a photo of mine. I had the frame painted tan and added set of grips from Sig. I think the camo grips made the gun. I am thinking of having the black painted dark brown like on the grips.

If it is in good shape that is not a bad price. What is it 40, 357Sig or 9mm?

Walthers are well worth the wait.

Other than the cheek piece they are the same. I will only buy 308 version so it can be used on all guns.

The good thing about the 220 is all the functions are the same as your 226 and the holsters are the same.

Get a USP and carry it cocked and locked to mess with them. You would be in the right since the allowed H&K. <thumbsup>

The place I go is a max shot of about 175 yerds. I know a bunch of people are using the 6.8 out to 300 yards. I do not like to shoot out that far for hunting. A buddy has a plce that reaches out to 700 yards and I have rang steel plates on 400 yards with the 6.8 all the time. I have even rang it with the 30 HRT at 300. I have not taking the 30 HRT out farther because it only has a 1.25-4 Leupold on it.

I have an 18 page PDF with load data for the 30HRT that, Marty the creator of the 30HRT, sent me. If you guys want the PDF shoot me an email asking for it. teamhelotes@satx.rr.com

I have been loading 24 grains of 2200 with 150gr FMJ. I have been having good luck with this load. I do not have a way to get the FPS. I run these 15 rd mags. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/516192/ar-stoner-magazine-ar-15-68mm-remington-spc-17-round-straight-body-with-anti-tilt-follower-stainless-steel-black?cm_vc=wishList I have about 500-600 rounds through my 30HRT with not trouble. I also have a 6.8 with over 1000 rounds with no bolt trouble. I like both rounds. When hunting from a blind I grab the 6.8 with a 16" barrel. If I am out walking or up close, I use the 30HRT with a 12" barrel. 6.8 brass is not cheap, but it is way cheaper than my 458SOCOM brass.

6.8 brass cut down and sized to 30 cal with off the shelf 30 Herrett dies. Very easy to make brass and it is a very good shooting round. Only down side is you have to hand load there is no factory ammo for it, but none of my ARs have ever seen factory ammo anyway. http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=647 http://ar15barrels.com/prod/30hrt.shtml http://www.teppojutsu.com/Whats_New.htm Here is 200 yards out of a 12" barrel with 150gr FMJ.

If you want 30 cal but better than 300BO look at the 30HRT. I have one and it will do all the things a BO will do but it have better supersonic numbers. Plus a AR15 platform would be much lighter in weight and cheaper in cost.
