Hey Doc, word of advice, when doing anything gun-related "for your wife"... go BIG. I personally recommend several flavors of AR, deck a few out with your personal preferences too, cause' theres no telling what you and your sweetie have in common when it comes to gun tastes. She might be especially delighted if you buy matching handguns and/or tactical knives.... Finally, should it turn out (God forbid) that she's not that into gun stuff... well, you can take all that off her hands for her with not one cross word in exchange. <thumbsup> <munch> *Watch closely fellas, divorces make for GREAT gun sales....* <laughs> <lmao>

Plans for turkey day include; Eating, followed by lots of eating, followed by appalling acts of shameless gluttony, followed by having my stomach pumped and then some more eating to finish it all off.

I congratulate you both on you new device and your self control. I have a terrible habit of actually screaming like a little girl.... <dontknow> :-[

Their hypocrisy is amazing. I love the fact that you can buy every gun accessory known to man there, everything short of a gun itself, but they treat you this way. Funny thing is that the CEO of Ebay is running for governor of California, as if the state weren't already hostile enough to gun owners.

Somebody wake up imschur for long enough to tell him sleep is underrated <thumbsup> <laughs> <lmao> <dontknow> <munch>

I saw a Browning Hi-power today at a gun show and fell in love all over again. I gotta get one of those soon.

He's a terminal case, and contagious to boot!!!

It's the same ol' same ol', just a different day for the same tactics; Appeal to the anti-gun nuts, or sway the neutral by presenting a nice sob story with mis-represented information. After all, what the American people see on the news JUST CAN'T BE WRONG...... There's a lot that could be said here, but I'll stick with just saying it makes me sick to see what power and greed have done to the principles on which this country was founded...

Wow, I don't know that family but I'd gladly honor that man with a donation!!!

Welcome to the fray, Ranger!!!

The "recoilless" label was more or less so that the inventors had something to laugh about while they recovered from initial testing results... <dontknow> <laughs> <lmao>

I'd say with the interest expressed we'd have enough interested to purchase at least 25 items if not more. I think that would definitely qualify for a quantity discount.

No problem. Anything to get you into some more hardware. <thumbsup>

Well, once you've sold your soul that's pretty much it. I TOLD him he should RENT it out... <laughs> <lmao> If he were a good enough fiddle player he might could take on the devil to regain it <dontknow>

Well, I will contest neither of you gentlemen's experience or validity, but I must say that from the standpoint of the layman (me) that doesn't have the benefit of your experience, it's nice to know where I can get equipment that meets YOUR standards on MY budget. Thanks to both of you for your service, and for the equipment reviews. <thumbsup>

I don't do much shooting with the 24" without a rest or bipod, but I can do it so long as it doesn't require more than 1 or 2 shots. I'm either slung or kneeling in that instance though.

Sounds like the problem could potentially be the mags themselves. Are they new? A worn magazine catch is the only reason I can think of why your mag problems go away whenever you shoot with the mag pushed in. Check your mags and your magazine catch for wear that could be problematic. I've also heard of people having problems when their mag catch was one turn too loose.

Glad to see some fellow Carolinians joining the fray. If you're ever in the vicinity of Hickory and wanna send a few downrange, just give me a shout. Welcome to the forums!

<laughs> <lmao> Beware of 98, he's been known to spawn AR's spontaneously and without warning.... and he's contagious.

That's a good-lookin' piece of hardware there... Lemme know how she shoots!!

LOL Red loctite was on it when I took mine apart... I didn't have any trouble getting it apart. If it seems stubborn, heat it up good with a heat gun at the receiver side of the FFT.

It's not difficult at all KS, simply affix the upper receiver securely and remove the handguard (aka. the free-float tube or FFT) with a strap wrench, so as not to mar it. Remember to use red loctite when you put it back together. The FFT has standard threads, so it's lefty-loosey/righty tighty.

I hope you meant "whichever comes first" too, cause as long as I'm here, the fish tales will never run out. As a wise man once said, "Beware of Matt, he has a megaphone and carries a soap-box." <laughs>

I've got an upper assembly minus bolt carrier group, PM me an offer. It's a fully assembled upper with dust cover and forward assist, it even includes the cocking handle.

Welcome home ma boy!!! <laughs> <lmao> We like your kind around here! <thumbsup>
