ugh, I really can't decide on what to get for a new carry pistol.

have you worked out the modification? I have 5 of the gen 2 20 rounders, but more wouldn't hurt

welcome from FL, thanks for your service.

welcome from tampa

not bad. mine ejects about 8-10' at around 3 o clock. Its hazardous to be around me when I shoot.

they do feel good in the hand too

that's really it right there. Practically, 99% of us won't shoot past 500 yards except once in a blue moon. If you're hunting wild hog and deer in florida, outside of the range you'll just about never shoot past 100 yards. so why lug around the extra weight if there isn't a real advantage?

Hmm. I haven't actually seen the 308 upper in person, only the engineering drawings, and I can't remember. I'll check though

welcome from FL

Actually the new BCG was designed first, as a lot of the dpms 308 uppers have FA on it, mine does

does it jiggle much?

pm me the name + address, I can't remember it :)

oooh fun, i'm definitely coming to visit today then :D

that sounds like fun. what time are you working till? I found a plain K9 for sale for $500 here in Tampa as well.

no question, mandrake kryptek. eventually i'm going to buy some of the rolls of their cloth, and have my mother in law make me some shirts and pants or shorts out of it. to me, that is about a perfect camo (at least for where i'm at)

Well, our basic plan is that once we get all caught up to current, we'll start offering something along the lines of "If your order doesn't ship within a week, you get refunded x% of the purchase price" with some disclaimers about custom engraving and it being under a week from when you get your FFL's license / NFA forms in. We figure that will both force us to stay on top of it and not let this happen again, and also give back confidence to buyers. We're looking at anywhere from 10-50%, just haven't really decided for sure yet. And similarly on any production pre-orders like we're planning on doing 1911s, the specific item would state what its time frame was and have a similar refund but still get item policy. We learned from the horrors of the last machinist not to put stuff up for sale till we're machining at full production rates.

cool, I found a used MK9 elite with night sites for $575. Right now its a tossup between that and this http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/12548/

Actually he walked out Dec 31st, along with the friends and his mom, leaving the shop short staffed by 4 or 5 people with no notice. It was a blessing really, it was after that when we started to discover the reality of his nonsense.

its so irritating, he was treated so spectacularly well, and then purposefully tried to screw the owner. I can't understand people who think that way. Hopefully karma catches up with him.

particularly looking at the MK9 elite with night sights, but any experience with them would be helpful

nah, it was purposeful, he wanted to see the company go broke. On these supressors, the end cap + tube are aluminum with the core steel. that end cap probably shouldn't take 15 minutes to do.

oh it is, the new machinist has cut time for everything by more than 50%, for some things as much as 70-80%. Sad really, the old machinist was to be given partial ownership, got a sign up bonus and was well paid. Then chose to try and torpedo the business so he could buy out its assets cheaply. What a wiener. Oh yeah, and he hired his friends and his mom to also work there, running machines or deburring or whatever. With the whole "I really need people I can trust to ramp up production". Then even when he had the billet material, it too him almost 4 months to go from his prototype (with having g code for it) to being able to produce 5 a day, on an automated pallet loading $200,000 mill. I swear, I may pop the guy in the jaw if I ever meet him. its just ridiculous. And none of that really is an excuse on the delays. The owner should have had more control of the business, and should have even if he was going to be largely remote spent 2 weeks every couple of months there, or a week a month, or something. It would have totally changed what was happening if he had just done that. But he got bogged down in customer service because money was tight with the credit card company holding so much and just dribbling it back out to us.

i'm heavy on amazon too, mostly lots of little stuff. I abuse the prime shipping :D

just to give an example, when we asked the machinist to put together timelines for production of parts to explain the production timelines, the time for a single suppressor was something like 7 1/2 hours.... just the end cap was an hour, which is ludicrous. a full AR15 billet can be machined from a solid block in under 45 minutes.... His time on an ar15 lower was almost 2 hours.
