Changed it up a bit

A friend just gave me two VLTOR IMODS and two LPK's... No good will come from this

Cant decide on sights and or optics. Im having issues with my eyes :(

here's the Sendra after the facelift. It's now home to my CMMG Sierra

Just waiting on a YHM WRAITH Suppressor

Here it is. Just waiting for the YHM WRAITH

Hayabusa WOW, just WOW

Our machine is unique ripoff of a Cameron 3 drum made by Arrow.

So I was filling out my form 4's and on the wall facing me was an HK SL-8, KRISS, ACR and a PS90...talk about trying to bait me..Thankfully the girl filling out the papers has this naughty cuteness about her and I was distracted. Anyhow they want like $2000 which without doing research seems high. Im still mildly interested in the platform though. Ok it was sexy as hell. Anyone here have trigger time on one? BTW I think this is the -4 variant

Been trying to get to that. Unfortunately FS2KSTD helped me get three point five projects done this past week and now I need to do a photo marathon. It's official he is worse for me than you and 98Z5V combined

Are parts still readily available for older stuff like this?

This would go nicely with your "Woody" AR

So the .45 AR is done. It turned out to be a ball buster in a way I would not have imagined. The OA upper did not fit the old OA stop sign lower. The lower did not have the enlarged relief area that most lowers have. That combined with other things would not allow the upper to fit fully rear and also prevented the pin holes from aligning. I had to carefully enlarge the lower, radius the edges of the ear with the take down pin hole in the upper as well as enlarge both pin holes in the upper by about .020. Still a very tight fit. Today I used some Alumahyde II where I enlarged the lower. It looks perfect. If it was a perfect color match it would be undetectable. The stop sign lower is a bit shiny though. The YHM QD flash hider for the Wraith is ugly as hell but installed. Mailing off the form 4 for the can tomorrow. One thing that surprised me is the weight. The .45 bore leads to one helluva light weight weapon. I just need to get some BUIS and I want a fixed 3x-4x optic.

Whats the status of this, envious minds want to know..and see pictures and video's

Cylinders were done first go around, thanks though. Even have a few spares because I think my lack of digits caused me to count incorrectly...twice <laughs> This time its about restoring massive rollers so they are round, flat and balanced and bringing the electonics up to at least Y2K standards. <lmao> Ac motor, drive, closed loop tension control, safety devices etc. I think Edgecrusher can relate to what is important on this type of machine and the fits imperfection can create. We have one rubber covered roller, "The Bitch", it's about 7" diameter 6" of which are steel and about 85" long. It is worn about .060 in the center 60 inches or so. The geniuses cant grasp the speed relationship is different at the two diameters. Not to mention the surface contact is uneven and causes issues. "Well we are going to let you fix this but we dont think it's the big deal your making out of it" :cookoo: and my favorite "can you mount some sort of lathe tool in the machine and move it by hand to recut the rollers?" :o You cant make this stuff up. I forgot to mention while I was on vacation they managed to break the 2 ton hoists at both ends of the machine. This really blows my minds as our heaviest rolls are only about a ton. AND the hoists are designed to slip under excessive load, not break teeth on gears. 25 Years of doing this and I have never seen hoist failures like ths. On top of all this I am head of IT, an army of one, and we are implementing a new weighing, barcode/labeling system begining this week. Did I mention I havent seen a salary increase in over 10 years >:(

Last year the company purchased a used paper slitting machine to add some capacity. The boss is pretty cheap so this machine was an early 70's era dinosaur. While he got it for a fair price I know inevitably there is an underlyng story that will become my headache, blood and ass. End of April we took delivery of what I refer too today as the 72 Camaro. After about a week of installation woes we fired the machine up. Aster a few hours of operating every hydraulic cylinder began leaking, belts started cracking. Some of the controls were installed to look as they they worked when in fact they did not. It was like a comedy show. Now began the task of restoring the Camaro. As luck would have it every cylinder on the machine was custom in one way or another. Several drive belts were custom lengths and types. Then while sorting through all of this the 40 year old Reliance DC Drive developed a mind of it's own. For all intents and purposes the machine needed a complete rebuild. Now because my direct boss is clueless and the business owner lives in a fantasy world where he believes all parts are a day away and everything is easy the give me and my guy until June first to get the machine running. On several occasions I was quoted as saying "are you people fuking nuts". My words fell on deaf ears. So finally I sat to my direct boss. Here's your choice. Do you want it running on June 1 or do you want the machine running properly on June 1. He chose option 1. True to my word I had the machine running. Once again It was comical to watch as stuff kept breaking. The machine stopped returnng to a zero speed. Now to make it more interesting they hire a new guy to replace my direct boss who's retiring. They stick this poor bastard on the machine to gain experience. He is an accountant by nature. To say he learned an experience was an understatement. The machine plugs along producing product that needs to be reworked on other machines for about a month. At this pont, last week of June my direct boss says "you know July is usually slow I think we should shut the machine down and fix everything else thats wrong with it" At this point I laugh in his face and ask him once again if he is "fuking nuts" That we really needed to make this decision 6 weeks ago to schedule the work that needed to be done by others as well as get parts on order that take 4-6 weeks to get. This is after all when a lot of companies shut down and a busy time for the specialty machine shops that do things like re-cover rubber rolls or centerless grind steel rollers. Two weeks go by. The Friday Im heading for vacation they call me into the office for a meeting to discuss shutting the machine down. I finally get them to understand we need to "schedule" with others and just offering the vendors an extra $100 to "squeeze us in" is laughable. Upon my return from vacation we start taking the machine apart. On day three we remove this big pain in the butt roller that needs resurfaced and crate it up for shipping. Next day the VP from sales calls me and my direct boss for a meeting. We got a hot rush from a customer and we need to run it on the slitter. Now keep in mind we have the pain in the butt roller out of the machine. The motor and drive have been removed and numerous control ripped out. They ask me how long to assemble the machine back. To their horror I tell them 5 days minimum as some of the items there is no going back. So now they tell me to not do anything. The machine sits idle why we see if we can figure out another way to "slit" the rolls. (Ill post that video next week" So finally I get the all clear this past Friday to continue restoring the 72 Comaro. As a side bar I noticed Thursday that my future boss has cleand out his cubicle and all personal effects are gone. I think tomorrow will be interesting and I will be back to living at the office. BTW did I mention the weather has been brutal, we have no windows, fans or AC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymzh7YAlZng

These are going on my 9mm and 45 AR's. Shoud have the cans in about 8 months

I noticed Brownells has stock of the Black Rain Ordnance Receiver Sets, if anyone is interested.

nope, if anything the process is even slower now hat more folks are becoming aware that ownership is legal.

ok it is my .45 OA AR15. It's configured a little different than Tom's. Same color though. Tomorrow if i can leave work at a normal hour I will fill out the paperwork for my .45 YHM Wraith. Thought I would have pictures by now. My day job has other ideas

Making a switch to the dark side. Decided to start carry my Glock 22 full time. I ordered a Kramer IWB horsehide holster.

exactly... I always got away. My buddies XR 250 was a lot slower than my DR 400. <laughs>

Now THATS A DIRT BIKE. What i'd give to run from the law on that. nice..real nice man

from my two biggest enablers <laughs>

Actually DPMS/SR25 magazines are based on the original Armalite AR-10 magazines that pre date Armalites use of the M14 magazines. Armalite probably as a matter of business and pride isnt going to promote or support the use of a competitors product in there weapons. Also read tech note 101 attached. 4882_.pdf
