Good lookin out brother, I might have to grab a 2nd. That’s a good price too, I think I paid just under a 100 for that one. I’ve heard mixed reviews from some people on OLights, but mine has held up well, it’s bright as shitt too.

Yeah, it came together quick once you helped me find the parts.

That’s nuts, Sig seems to get absolutely every contract possible. I’ve heard good things about their optics, but I find it hard to believe they’re better than Trijicon, Nightforce, or any of the other big names you can think of. Unless they’re doing the same thing they did with the 320 and just giving them away to the Army.

Got it put together today, had some odd issues with the striker binding in place. Took me a while to figure out what it was, cause it was binding in the forward position. Since it was bound, the trigger couldn’t reset causing the whole slide to bind on the close stroke, pretty odd. I think maybe the striker channel liner was slightly out of spec? I took the striker out multiple times and the issue kept happening. I finally jammed the channel liner tool in the slide and kind of wiggled it around, seeing if I could work out whatever the issue was. Maybe it was a chunk of crap in the channel? Not sure. Either way, got it resolved and it seems good to go now. Aim surplus slide in “Sniper Gray”, comes with RMR cut and the cover plate for right around $200. Hard to beat that. Barrel is by Spinta Precision, big shout out to @MikedaddyH for putting me onto both. Mostly OEM internals I got thru KMTactical. Still need to put sights on it, and will probably transfer my Holosun red dot to it. I’d love to go function test it, but I don’t really have a spot to, short of just driving out of town and shooting into a hill side.

I really hope that story is true, that bitch needs to be reminded constantly what she did

Damn, that sucks big time. Does that mean 7 days a week as well? Or just no extra days off? Either way that sucks big time. I keep toying with the idea of joining the local PD, it’s something I’ve thought about dating back to high school. Hearing stuff like that though, makes me wonder if I’d be crazy to do that in the present climate.

Yeah, I’m really over this year myself. I don’t give a rats as$ about the ‘Rona, that’s all nonsense, but all the other complications this year has from the masses being terrified. Fuk it’s brutal. Oh, and never miss an opportunity to jump on Ron for no reason, it’s character building. Granted he’s already got plenty of character

I’m not 100% sure yet, but this year is just difficult. I definitely want to come, had an absolute blast last year, but circumstances are moving against me. My wife just started a new job a few weeks back, and that’s causing all sorts of complications with what to do with the kids each day. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice having that second income after over 4 years, but with school only being 2 days a week it makes things hard currently. I don’t know that I can get away for a week without making her life miserable. As for Kate, she also just started a job pretty recently, and they aren’t gonna approve a week off yet. She said she could get like 2 days, but being a 12 hour drive, I don’t how she’ll get down this year. I know both of us want to come, even if Ron punts on this year, but I think the chances are getting slimmer. Back to business on the Glock front, @MikedaddyH was a huge help. He sent me a bunch of links to stuff and lots of websites to check out. With his help, I was able to track down all OEM Glock parts, which I was shocked given the current climate of everything being sold out constantly. Still need to decide on a slide and barrel, but everything else has been accounted for now.

@Armed Eye Doc That is certainly annoying, parts working in one and not the other. I also don’t love the fact that is their 3rd try to fix it and never getting it right. Everything I have heard about them before this has been positive, interesting to see that issue. I’m not dead set on buying their stuff, they just seem to be the price to beat. Between the slide being about $200, and barrels around $80, that’s a good bit cheaper than anywhere else, granted you get what you pay for.

Full size 17

So i finally decided to take the plunge on one of these bad boys. Big Daddy Unlimited was selling the frames for under $100 a few weeks ago, so I couldn’t resist. Only one real problem with this build, and I think everyone knows what it is. Parts for Glocks, just like everything else right now are hard as hell to find. I’ve been searching all around and I don’t think I’ve seen one frame parts kit in stock anywhere. Just wondering if anyone has any sites that had parts kits in stock. I found a company that makes slides and barrels in house, Rock Slide USA. They actually have everything required to finish it out, but it’s like $580 for all of it. Obviously the constant mass panic in the gun world means nothing is cheap right now, but I hadn’t really planned on almost $600 to build this damn thing.

Thanks Doc, good lookin out. Seems like this stuff is starting to appear now, I saw some on Brownells yesterday as well.

Nah, it takes a lot more than that to get me butt hurt, you’ve met my old man .It’s a fair point though about the thread, it’s got a ridiculous amount of replies and we’ve been all over the place.

You’re kicking me out of the nest? You can’t do that damn it! I’m a millennial. We live at home so long, eventually we make our parents leave their own house just to get away . Somewhere right now, some hipster prick is explaining to his parents why he deserves the master bedroom . God damn I hate millennials, why couldn’t I have been born a few years earlier. As for Ronda and the desert heat, he’ll come around eventually. Someday he’ll see the beauty of dry heat. I could actually deal with the heat of AZ, but what I don’t like, the critters that tend to be around when it never gets truly cold. At least here in Reno, we don’t get all the rattlers and scorpions and whatever other scary ass spiders you guys have down there. I’m no fan of winter, but it does even out the pest population. Now if only it could even out some of the human pests... Oh, and I promise I won’t hijack your build thread anymore . Just waiting on my barrel now, then I can finally get my POS together. I’ll make that a new thread when it happens

2.6 at almost 500 is for sure crazy impressive shitt. I can’t wait to see how it performs at 800

Fantastic. Fuking Fantastic! This is everything I wanted to hear on this. Also, love the smiley face on the steel, that’s a nice touch. You’re welcome by the way, for all but forcing you to build one Did you try feeding it with a regular 5.56 mag? Or just the Grendels?

Why yes, that would be the KAC rail in question I don’t know what it is about those KAC rails I like so much, but damn it I want one. They’re expensive, and not free floated, and I don’t care, just love the look. Probably the fact they’ve been the go to for the military for so long. 20 inch ARs are just fun to play with, in my opinion. That a4ish beater I built for the desert last year ended up being the one I put the most rounds thru. They’re just easy to shoot and super smooth. With the PA 2.5x scope I put on it, it was effortless to just sit and tag targets all day in camp. It’s also nice to have the extra velocity from the 20 in wide open areas. I’m seriously debating building an M16A1 clone after I finish the MK12. They’re lightweight and just fun to play with. Also I’d like to do it properly, 1-12 twist like the originals. Most of what I run is M193 anyway, might as well have the proper twist for that bullet and maximize its power.

I too love the look of the KAC grips. Eventually I want to track down a KAC rail and grip for my m16A4 clone I’ve been slowly working on. I can’t believe the screws were long enough on that Mlok rail section to actually contact the barrel. You’d think the rail would have had enough depth they couldn’t reach the barrel, but obviously not. Definitely defeats the purpose of a free float barrel either way. On a different note for tomorrow morning, assuming you see this before then. Try out a standard Pmag with the 6mm, I’ve heard rumors they will feed fine. I’d love to not have to buy Grendel mags for mine.

That is great. I could just keep watching that over and over again. I especially like the look on his face after getting stuffed. It’s amazing to me just now incredibly stupid people are today, what else did you expect to happen? You grab at someone’s weapon, you’re lucky all he did was serve you a fist. As far as I’m concerned, he’d be well within the rules to give him a life altering beat down. More people in this country need to get their ass whooped by someone, just to remind them they aren’t as tough as they think they are. Especially the keyboard warriors, I don’t think most of them have actually been hit in the face before. It certainly changed my attitude on multiple occasions as a kid/teenager.

I appreciate that brother, but I couldn’t take that honor away from you. Rip that fuker up in the AM for me. Can’t wait to pit the 6s against each other this fall, should be a great time.

I know that’s not the LaRue you want it to be, but still a damn fine looking rifle sir. If it wasn’t a 12 hour ride, I’d be there in a heartbeat to help break the fuker in. I think Monday I’m gonna have to start shaking the tree over at LaRue and Brownells. I ordered that rail well over a month ago, still haven’t heard shitt out of them. Barrel is not too far behind that, probably 3 weeks or more now. Everything else is here, I’m ready to build a god damn rifle!

What can I say, I got us both brother on the plus side, I think we’re both gonna end up with seriously bad ass long range rifles. I’m excited as hell to hear how your temporary 6mm runs on Sunday.

Ha! Clown Shoe brewery, that’s fantastic. That name works for my current company as well, though I usually just call it The Circus Act. 🤡🤡🤡

I like LaRue stuff a lot, but their wait times suck. My rail was supposed to be 1-3 weeks out, a month ago. At this rate I could easily see your upper kit being months out. It’s gonna be worth it in the end, I’m sure of that, but I can’t blame you for wanting a plan B in the meantime. I’ll be excited to hear your thoughts on it after actually getting some trigger time.
