I purchased 4 CMMG steel mags at the LGS, but I have enough. Never used. I only what what they cost me. $45 each and we will work out shipping depending who buys what.

Yes.

I have heard they are going to make a tee shirt... passed along, didn't read it for myself... but just check their FB, probably said it there. Everyone loves the art.

Here's the program for my Colorado peeps if you have not already heard. http://www.magpul.com/colorado They said they are working on similar programs for other states that are facing mag restriction legislation.

People are going to naturally clique up. We always have. I really can't stand watching "doomsday preppers". They are all lone wolves... they are planning to defend themselves against the entire world that all of a sudden just looses their mind. It's unrealistic. Not that people won't loose their minds, but that you can't hold out against such a thing for a length of time. Only one or two people had a network of their neighbors or friends. That's good planning.

Really nice.

If your view of the world is that tools kill people... then obviously you couldn't care less about the factory that builds tools. And I'm not criticizing Magpul in the least....I'm glad they stand up for what they believe, and I agree.... but what ever legislation is passed.... Magpul will continue to make magazines. Just sayin'

Hey... eyes on your own handle! ;D

I looked into these from recommendations here, and I really love mine. I do not have experience with others, but I really like how big it is and easy to handle. Very easy for me being a lefty even with a big scope over it. Very natural.

Totally agree. If he gets 1-2-3 thousand rounds out of the part and does not mind repairing it... it's all good. I would only sugest using a softer metal. And after welding up the cavity, you could cut a small goove to keep some oil in... but it would be pretty hard to determine the effectivness of that. Lots of rounds and determining wear patterns of both. And it does not sound like he has bad wear doing what he is doing.

I don't have a clue about accurizing or gunsmithing. All I know is that for moving parts, you have to have a sacrificial part. That is the gas ring. It is the cheap easy repalcable part instead of replacing bolt, or carrier. In this case, it will require a rewelding and machining to get it back to that .001. It isn't a matter if it will wear, it is a matter of when. Obviously, if you do not mind building it back up and machining it down every few thousand rounds, no big deal. The other part is the material you are using. If you are not going to have scarificial rings... you still need sacrificial metal. You have to replace the rings with a metal softer than the bolt carrier. You WANT the bolt piston to wear because that is the easiest to repair. Last... the rings also catch and keep oil. So the action will stay lubricated longer. With it being solid, all it does is wipe a clean area, and leave the distance unlubricated. All that does is accelerate wear. It's something you can accept because you can repair it.

Thanks Bud. I might have to pick one up sometime.

Ya, I really like mine. The brushed finish is really easy to touch up with a SOS pad. good as new. Bead blasted needs to be bead blasted again. Paint is just paint. Any flat black is good. I like my SS barrel. And do not delay.. buy it now. Fulton takes there site down all the time to catch up on orders. It's real hit and miss lately. But I had my barrel is about two weeks.

My LGS just sold the last one this morning. I'll keep checking back. this was the second box they got in the last couple weeks.

Guys... what is so good about the Armalite bolt catch? I used a DPMS LPK. I don't like the little nub for the "hold" function. Curious about the Armalite since all of you seem to like them.

Ya, I'm partial to the evil color. ;D

Dude... I thought I was crazy for paying $300 for a JP enhanced bolt... until the next one went for $400. :o It is what it is... but you will go broke quick there.

Here's mine. I'm irritated because my regular camera just took a dump recently. Other wise I would take better pics.

Well I technically didn't have a "budget"... but ya, I nuked it. ;D I just got a smooth vented DPMS hand guard because I didn't want anything on it. Drilled a hole for a sling mount and put on my bipod and it's done. I do really like a couple smooth vented hand guards out there... but again... nuked budget. I do think I ended up with a really nice rifle. I'm real happy how it turned out.

In case it was not clear, I'm a rookie. Completely new. It's a bit of a learning curve. I only lost about $100 in bad parts. But these guys here took care of me. I'll step aside for the experts.

I agree Bud. I understand what you are saying. It's areal fornicate at the very least... potentially criminal depending on motives. Ya, if that is the caliber of police these days, then we should hire less and arm more people. :) (I do not think that is a fair representation of most of the officers these days.) But even with disregard for public safety, complete incompetence, and civil rights violations... if a citizen opens fire on police in self defense... then that person is probably going to die. It isn't right. A lawyer can get him off... I'm just saying, as you pointed out... you probably are not going to come out on top on that one. I'm not arguing for or against, right or wrong... just saying that is probably not going to be a successful course of action to peruse. I think this horse is officially hamburger. :)

I'll keep you guys in mind if I come across any. Fulton still has 20 rounders fro $50.

That's a fact. ;D

I actually looked it up, and I still managed a typo. Don't shoot me.

Right... when the cops come to arrest you, and they have no warrant, and no crime that you committed... feel free to shoot them all you want. When officers want to stop, or detain you with probable cause... I strongly suggest you don't pull a gun on them. Or do, if that's how you want to roll.
