I think the absence of petty political bickering led someone to believe that we have a strict "no politics" rule, like a few other popular shooting forums. Just to clarify, political discussion isn't discouraged here, we just want people to act their age when the topic is political.

My long lost brother!!!! <laughs> It's a lifestyle for me! <dontknow>

Welcome to the forums! I'm always happy to see yet another NC member show up. ;D

Welcome to the forums!

There ya go! If Toby is pro-gun, I am pro-Toby!

Toby is the dog every sheepdog wants to be!

Thanks for the link, I was posting from my phone and didn't have time to google my facts straight. On the other hand, anyone that had braced themselves for that $75 was pleasantly surprised! <thumbsup>

This line creepily reminds me of 'Silence of the Lambs' somehow. "IT PUTS THE LOTION ON IT'S HANDS OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!!!!" <lmao>

Monolithic receivers, the practical man's answer to receiver height issues! ;)

I love the tilted head, as if to say "WHERE DID THAT CAMERA COME FROM?" Poor fella is a real trooper! Hope he at least got a treat for the sake of his dignity.... :P

After I get home from the range on the weekend, there will be pictures of a clean Young Mfg BC for you fellers.

I think he only needs the trigger assembly, if i'm not mistaken...

My name is Matt Cross, and I approve of this article! ;D

Welcome to the forums! I don't know too much about BUIS. As for your trigger, if you're on a tight budget, Bill Springfield is legendary for his ability to fix a crappy AR trigger. Last I heard it was only $75 and shipping for a trigger job, and that comes out way cheaper than an aftermarket trigger.

I ordered the 416SS bolt, which is an upgrade from their standard bolt material, which I cannot recall at the moment. I could tell you if their web store wasn't closed. To answer your question, my bolt carrier IS stainless.

Welcome to the forums Herc, we can always use another plane steerer around here!

I pretty much concur, with the exception of stating that weight loss is weight loss, no matter it's significance. However, if I were going to have a finished barrel fluted, I'd also have it cryo-treated to be sure it was stress-relieved.

It is beastly, it looks like I'll be able to shoot this weekend, so I'm going to swap it out for the Young Mfg carrier in Goldilocks(MA TEN) and test it out.

SI Defense Bolt Carrier ...and as promised, gratuitous hand porn. Please be sure to stop BEFORE you get raw.

I just threw up a little bit... :o

Uhm, can we make sure the one that goes to market spells "you're" correctly? ;) <laughs> <laughs> <lmao>

<laughs> <lmao> <munch> Epic!

I fully and sincerely apologize, but my appearances in the forums have been brief. I will have to disassemble rifles to take pictures and have just been generally preoccupied. I hope to have some pictures for you guys featuring CLEAN bolt carriers first thing in the new year. Those of you who have been secretly hoping for a glimpse of a thumb or some such will be treated to one high-res centerfold quality of not just one, but two of my hands featured all by themselves for your viewing pleasure. I know what you're thinking, "Matt, that's extraordinarily kind of you, you don't have to do that!", but it's OK. It's my labor of love.
