Well, I'm told tumbling is not a good process for 5.7 brass because of a coating on it. I guess I ruined this batch...??

500 rounds of tumbled, polished 5.7x28mm brass, shipping from Houston $50, OBO

Ha! Reminds me of a story. When I first came down to Houston 20 years ago I went into a gas station to pick up some beer. The guy asked for my ID and when he was checking it he asked, "Maine? Where's that?" I was floored but kept it together and said it was in the northeast. And, you guessed it, he asked, "Northeast Texas?!?" ???

Then avert your eyes buddy, cause I'm doing skulls. :-)

Yeah, this is just one that I was building, don't really care about it. And I think it's pretty easy to remove too, and reapply something new. I'll post pics when it's finished.

Got all the pieces ready for dipping, upper, lower, grip, foregrip, buttstock...

Will do DNP, for sure. And, I'll let you know a little closer to the conference, but there is a chance I can get you into the esri user conference on one of my complimentary passes. I have like 14 or so.

Have you guys seen this process? It looks pretty freaking wild, check it out on youtube. A buddy of mine is getting into it, saw his shotgun forend he did, looks awesome. He's been trying it on a bunch of things, and it's working out very well. I'm giving him some AR parts to dip, I'll post pics when they're done.

I was there monday through thursday. I played indian canyons on monday, passed on a round at ascena on wednesday (played it last year though). Got ripping drunk wednesday night, and flew home hungover as hell on thursday. I'm still probably going to hit the other esri conference in san diego, july 14 to 18.

How not to throw a punch... And conversely, how to throw a punch...

So I'm currently visiting your state, at a conference in Palm Springs. The golf courses here are awesome. Can't beat the weather, damn it's nice here.

2 degrees this morning in beautiful downtown Zionsville, IN! Damn, I knew there was a reason I left Maine.

Badass, enjoy!! (I've deleted your duplicate post)

Hey Goofball, do you have asking prices on these rifles?

I've heard nothing but rave reviews but I still haven't been able to make myself go...

That's a pretty beater! But I say go for it. Change is good, just ask the pres.

LOL, yeah, but like Wahlberg in the original topic, try not to let it detract from the show. BoB is an awesome series, I bought the DVD set after seeing it when it originally ran years ago and have watched the whole series several times now.

Guess my weekend project is set now! LOL! That was pretty cool.

Not gonna make it this year, we had been planning to go but decided against it. Have fun! Post pics!

With extreme prejudice!

You know, I read the book that Marcus wrote, and it was awesome. In a way I feel like that story never really should have come down from the side of that mountain, but at least in book form it took someone willing to invest the time and interest in reading it who had some level of respect for the jobs those guys do and the incredible warriors that they are. I watched a 30-minute documentary on HBO (or one of those) that showed the intent of the filemakers and actors to keep it "real-to-life" and to honor those guys, but regardless of their intent, this movie (IMHO) will romanticize the events and misrepresent it in some ways. I saw in the documentary that Marcus seemed pretty well pleased with it and how true-to-life they were making it, as well as the families of the other three warriors, so that's cool. It's their story to tell. I'm really torn about seeing the film, to be honest. The movie lover in me wants to see it, but the part of me that respects and reveres these men and their work is very hesitant. <dontknow>

That was a good read, thanks!

Sold, I assume? Will lock this now.

Have a great Thanksgiving gents!

Very cool!
