I decided to go with Fulton Armory for the LPK, minus the grip & trigger. Just gotta complete my orders and let the impatience begin. <munch>

Yes, I called and spoke with a very nice rep who answered all my questions and gave me a quote. I put all the specs onto an order and it sends out tomorrow with a check. I can't wait!!! ;D ;D ;D

I have ordered a 20" Lothar Walther fluted stainless barrel (including barrel extension & headspaced bolt), 1:10 twist, .936 gas block and threaded 5/8"-24 for the last 3/4" of the barrel at the muzzle. I'm going to be mating a Bennie Cooley compensator to it. I'm also going to be buying: Magpul PRS, Tubbs Flat Wound recoil spring, Enidine AR-Restor recoil buffer, Fulton Armory Chromed BCG, ATC SR Gold Trigger, and Magpul MIAD grip. I'm up for recommendations on the mag release, bolt catch, and various other small miscellaneous lower parts, and safety lever etc.

That's just incredibly sad. I think that's good enough reason for me to boycott Wally World as much as I possibly can. It's just dumbfounding to think that we're at a point in time where we can say "I remember when heroism used to be rewarded..." What has happened to the prevalence of common sense?

I'll bet you do, man-skank.... <laughs> <thumbsup>

Now if I can just figure out how you ordered one without a serial number.... ;) Nice set! ;D

I like their products, but the prices stink... It's a real dilemma.

I dunno, maybe because it's Drew's now.... <thumbsup> ;)

This lower is SOLD!!! Just for future reference guys, capt9859 is Good to Go. Thanks!

Not sure about the pistol itself, HK has a superb reputation for their USP line though. As for the translucent mag, my first guess would be that you can see at a glance how many rounds you have left.

Welcome to the Forums, post up!

No problem, I'll send ya an e-mail. It's a quite nice upper, I'm just getting the 'build' bug.

If you are considering buying used I happen to have a DPMS 24" SS fluted bull-barrel complete upper with JP VTAC handguard (rifle length) that I'd be willing to part with. It has less than 500 rounds through it, none of which were surplus ammo or metal-jacketed. I'm willing to part with it because my wife is only going to let me have so many configurations, and I'm wanting to do my own build. If you don't want to buy used, I see all kinds of them on Gunbroker.com if you want to check them out, but they're just one of a ton of places you can buy DPMS-compatible complete uppers. On a different note, nice rifle, and welcome to the forums!

What scares me considerably more than our government, is the number of people who blindly trust that they're making good decisions... The government will only ever be as stupid as the voting majority permit them to be. Scary!

In my opinion, Madhouse just made "Member of the Year"!!!! <thumbsup>

Les Baer Customs has lots of accessories and such.

The difference is, when you THINK you're a better shooter, you ARE a better shooter! :o ;)

Nice, DIY projects are the best. Also, I like your taste in lathes, if I ever get a shop to put one in, i'll probably pick up one of their models + a bridgeport mill.

Well, in that case you might be the unlucky recipient of several pounds of high velocity shrapnel, which is good reason to have or borrow a set of gauges. Even worse, you might have a bad chamber that holds up for the first several rounds, and blows up the instant you let someone else shoot it. That's something I couldn't really live with.

That may well be true, I don't know. I need to check and see if they make carbide chamber reamers....

Here's my wild shot in the dark, feel free to reality-check my hypothesizing... It's a little bit of lathe work on either side of 'not good'. If the chamber is 'short', it may be feasible to simply have it re-reamed at the correct depth. If the chamber is 'deep', material would have to be removed from the back of the barrel to 'shortify' the chamber, this would probably also involve re-cutting the recesses for the extractor & whatever more.

Yep, but don't worry, I PM'ed you my address and I'll be watching the mail for my share. Thanks ol' buddy! ;D

Anyone who can casually mention how their MA-TEN purchase came out to an extra $1500, just like it's any other gun-store visit, deserves to be tied to a shooting bench and forced to watch gang-bangers try to remedy feeding malfunctions in their Hi-Points. <laughs> <lmao> Now that I've exhausted my jealousy, let me congratulate you on your new acquisitions! <thumbsup>

Welcome to the forums Dave!

<dontknow> Ya have to wake up pretty early to beat anybody around here to an answer.... <thumbsup> <laughs>
