  1. I googled and besides the really new website and Facebook, there is nothing out there. I had over $500 of products in the shopping cart but I am just hesitant to buy without knowing.
  2. @98Z5V what do you suggest for a buffer weight on a 16” 6mm ARC, mid length gas system, that I will be running suppressed?
  3. Does anyone know anything about honestlyevil.com? With a lot of scam pages popping up claiming to be gun stores, I want to be safe.
  4. I will be getting a 16” barrel so I can make it a regular rifle build. finding matching upper and lower has been the problem for me.
  5. If I could find the parts, I would build a 6mm arc today, for once I have the money.
  6. Yeah that CZ 75 single action is beautiful ☺️
  7. We are having a heat wave now!!! 10 degrees!

    It’s got more than one good probe to stick in the meat. It is part of the actual smoker
  9. Probably almost a fourth of the deer I have taken have been with a .243 win bolt gun. the cartridge can take deer ethically out to 300 yards no problem with the energy, velocity, and flat shooting several good high bc ballistic tip bullets have. Of coarse the smaller and lighter bullets with lower sectional densities compared to .308 and many other hunting rounds means you will have to be more accurate with your shot placement. But I would never fault anyone wanting to use a .243 for whitetails
  10. I think starting north of the WI Dells it starts to get so cold we don’t have as much snow as the southern half of the state.

    It’s to late, now that I am getting wood from the Amish cheap and easy without me cutting and splitting by hand, I have already gained weight. Lol

    It has built in thermometers, won’t that be good enough? I think my wife wants me to do a chicken she bough first.

    my wonderful wife bought me a smoker!!! Now I need to learn how to prepare and cook with it!
  14. another cold morning, despite what the clock says, it was 7:30am and the sun was already up when it was that cold. And I got blisters on my ears from frost bite Saturday when all hell broke loose with crashes.
  15. Sadly the last several years colt has seemed to be an over priced name brand living of its reputation from its glory days. I have always loved cz and hope they do well with the colt brand. It just sucks to see gun companies leave American hands.
  16. That’s because God hates janesville and you are just to damn close. Lol
  17. Al I missed you!!!
  18. You need sponsors like... Raid Shadow Legends!!! 🤣
  19. Come on brother, aren’t you a YouTube millionaire yet?
  20. https://www.silencershop.com/rugged-micro30.html so I finally got one, just waiting for my form 4 to go through, but I can shoot it at the gun shop while they hold it for me. 😊
  21. @98Z5V I know the benefits of heavier buffers, and prefer them myself. Helps reduce felt recoil, makes the gun run more smoothly, more reliability with hot loads or suppressed, minimize wear and tear, and better for more powerful calibers than the basic buffer system was originally designed for. But with all the threads out there on this subject, we don’t highlight the why we suggest going with a 5.4 oz buffer as much. I know you get tired of the same topic over and over, but it isn’t as black and white as you make it out to be. SHOULD a 308ar have a a heavier buffer than the “standard” 3.8oz 2.5 in buffer?... HELL YES. CAN some 308ar function with a 3.8oz buffer? Depending on the parts (maybe it is because they are made cheaply), YES some can. Never once did I tell cwouscg his buffer was good to go. In fact I told him if he can return it, than to go with the armalite receiver extension kit or buffers and spring from heavybuffers.com. And I told him problems could come from his choice in buffer. Tom I have a lot of respect for you and i rarely question your knowledge, not a time even comes to mind. But, if someone already has the parts and can’t get their money back, it isn’t going to hurt to try them out. If they need to change parts than they can, or upgrade later on their own time and budget if it works. $75 can be a lot of money for some people, I know my wife would throw a fit if I spent that without talking to her first since we live on a single income. Just my .02
  22. Some guns will run on the 3.8 oz buffer, a lot of it depends on your gas port size. But light buffers does seem to be the number 1 most common issue.
  23. I totally would want my next sling made out of that if it comes in an earth tone color
  24. Don’t get adjustable gas block unless you are gonna run a suppressor right away, since you are putting on a vg6 gamma, doesn’t seem like you are. Keep it simple. as for the buffer and spring, most likely that is where problems may happen. You may get lucky with the aero kit. If you already have it or can’t return it, might as well try. if it doesn’t work or you can return it, the threads will tell you your two best options: heavybuffers.com or the armalite buffer kit.
  25. After a few shots you will then have a single shot rifle. 😛
