The following comes to us via Uncle Armalite. For those that dont know Armalite is based in Geneseo, Illinois. Veterans Day 2011 In Geneseo, Illinois Every year, Veterans Day is much the same in Geneseo: the volunteers gather before dawn to unfurl and set up hundreds of flags in the city park. Each flag honors a veteran from this tiny town. The number of flags grows every year. How can there be so many in such a small place? The woman’s club is up early too, setting up hot coffee and pastries for the volunteers a block from the park at the VFW. The VFW members stand at attention as the noon siren shrieks. The siren is very close and very loud. The veterans wait for the siren to fade and fire a 21 gun salute. A close-cropped man surely still in his 20’s stops a rusty car filled with children. He stands in the middle of the street with a stiff salute. No one honks at the stop to traffic. There are a lot of tears, none are suppressed. This year the routine of long years differs slightly. After the salute, the small, mostly elderly crowd hurries into the hall for lunch. Usually they stay gathered on the sidewalk visiting. But this year is cold and windy. At the park, the flags flying since dawn are now snapping. They seem louder than the wind itself. A small group, they look like family, circles a single flag. They’re holding hands. The words, “home soon,” come on the wind. The rest is blown away. So goes 11-11-11 in Geneseo, Illinois.

Very cool!

Gotta click on it and expand it first

Fantastic

Well after much delay I met my AAC M4-2000 today. Much smaller than I had expected. I did the paperwork for the feds. Took it home and proceded to walk to the closed post office. >:( While at the gun shop I had to resiste very hard not buying a Colt 1911 Rail Gun as well as one of these, AAC Micro 7: In the end I bought a brick of these instead

I have been carrying in Kramer Handgun Leather (Horsehide) since they came to market. Very pleased. Lead times can be long though. I do plan on trying others like Mernickle for comparison. I respect Robo's opinion very much. (Im not just saying that because I bought 9 7.62 PMAGS out from under him) <lmao>

Well anything shooting related weapons, gear including your ugly mugs, Toms hairy chest and Matt's sexy hands

ArmaLite’s “History of Innovation” continues! The originator of the AR platform has turned its popular M-15 SPR Mod 1 system into a “Family of Calibers.” ArmaLite’s Mod 1 carbine started as a .223/5.56mm carbine built around a revolutionary one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails. This year, ArmaLite goes a step further, introducing the SPR Mod 1 6.8mm SPC II and the SPR Mod 1 7.62X39mm. Both mid-length carbines continue the “ArmaLite Standard of Excellence.” ArmaLite’s SPR Mod 1 6.8 is especially well-suited to hunting. It is powerful enough to meet the minimum energy requirements of many states for taking medium sized game such as deer. At the same time, the 6.8mm is lighter than the 7.62×51, reducing the weight of ammunition carried into the field. As part of the AR-platform family, this carbine is also more versatile and ergonomic than traditional hunting models. The Mod 1 6.8mm is built with the ArmaLite-developed mid-length handguard and gas system to provide the best in form and function. ArmaLite’s SPR Mod 1 7.62X39mm provides all the flexibility of the Mod 1’s one piece upper receiver/rail system but now for the world’s most available cartridge. The original AK-47 was built to use this cartridge. Now, enthusiasts of the 7.62X39 won’t have to settle for less than the best: a true ArmaLite carbine. The ArmaLite designed mid-length handguard and gas tube technology provides an optimal gas pulse to power the 16″ system so reliability is never an issue. More on the SPR Mod 1 platform: The SPR Mod 1 is forged, one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails. In true ArmaLite fashion, the SPR Mod 1 is like no other on the market. With other one-piece systems, you’re stuck forever with the rails you get at purchase, and stuck with their limits. But ArmaLite knows you and your firearm often have more than one mission, and you want options. ArmaLite gives you just that. The SPR Mod 1′s three o’clock, six o’clock, and nine o’clock rails are detachable. That’s right, you can change your 1913 rails to fit your changing needs for sights… lights…lasers…grips…or swivels. ArmaLite takes that versatility even further. Each SPR Mod 1 comes with extra rails standard, at no extra cost. We give you a 1913 rail with quick detachable sling swivel hole. Each rifle comes with a low insert for when you need a bare rail with a low profile. There’s also a plain insert with a quick detach sling swivel hole. And there is a half plain, half Picatinny rail as well. Changing your rails…your add-ons…and your SPR Mod 1… is as easy as turning a torx wrench. Ingenious versatility isn’t the only reason you’ll want an SPR Mod 1. Its one-piece construction offers you a continuous optic platform (COP). There’s no gap to bridge between receiver and upper rail when you’re installing your scope or sights. This one-piece construction also gives the sighting platform extra rigidity. It’s a good, strong backbone. That means your sights will stay zeroed in the most trying conditions. The SPR Mod 1 typifies the “ArmaLite Standard of Excellence.” With us, quality comes standard. There’s no extra charge for: the SPR Mod 1′s chrome lined, chrome moly vanadium steel barrel; its two-stage tactical trigger; the patented, extra strength steel bolt assembly; or the hard coated finish. These are all things that the other companies consider options at an added cost. The introduction of the new ArmaLite SPR Mod 1 is truly a new chapter in our history of innovation and our dedication to the quality you deserve.

This dude had a bad rep before there was internet, back in the hey day of the shotgun news. I have read that Brownells and Midway had issues with him as well. Probably why CMMG was so successful out of the gate with their initial 22 conversion offering.

welcome unforgiven

Hey guys I did have a total brain fart. The initial rules were 5 posts. So because this was my error it stays with a 5 post minimum including the post that includes your picture. Next month 98z5v will write the rules and this will go smoother I promise. This is supposed to be fun. I will clean up the rules in the first post later Sorry for the trouble

if you can grab me some nice pictures of the build to use on another site I be very appreciative. I didn't think I would like this but I think I'm in love. Damn you damn you to hell.

I must say you have some very nice wood <thumbsup> it's a little darker than I had expected <laughs>

Let me be clear, the winner will be a random. Looks don't matter.
