  1. Call DDLES on the phone. They had 3 of the dedicated lowers (Colt SMG mag versions) last week, on their website. I bought all 3. They called me the next day and said that a glitch in the system happened - apparently, someone else was buying one at the same time as me, and checked out just before I did. So, they only had 2 available for me. If I wanted to wait two weeks, they could send all 3. End result - they're sending 2 now, and will send the other one later. They are available, but you'll need to talk to them and make sure when they'll either be online for purchase, or available for phone-in purchase. Honestly, I'd set it up over the phone. Only reason I didn't was because it was after hours, and they were in stock. I didn't hesitate. Lesson 65b.
  2. I plan to test the following triggers in one session, and post opinions on each: ATC SR Gold G Hi-Speed DMR G SSA-E G SSA G S3G Armalite 2-stage National Match ALG ACT Jard 2lb Jard 2.5lb Spike's NiB I'm forgetting something... :o That will happen in one session, with note-taking, etc., for details. However, it won't be this coming weekend.
  3. Just picked up the Hi-Speed DMR this week - it's worth it. I'll shoot it this weekend and get my opinions posted on it. I like it already.
  4. Exactly. <thumbsup> Less maintenance on the machinery.
  5. Very true. Every Pro 2A LEO needs to let their elected officials know how they feel, also. It's a different angle than the civilians letting them know. Imagine if every single affected local and state police agency let those elected officials know hot THEY directly feel... The politico assholes then get it from both sides. I don't want to see any officers getting hurt over this - but if there are officers out there that haven't picked up their own, personal patrol rifle by now, then they "waited too long" just like the civilians in that boat did. Pappy, I'm not trying to be harsh on ya, brother. That's just my view. Looks like the affected LEOs need to get the poop-politicians out of office, just like the civilians need them out of office. LEOs need them out of office even worse, IMHO.
  6. .308 Winchester + Home Defense = not a great idea. However, if it gets you in another complete rifle, I'm all for it. <thumbsup>
  7. Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus... I can see that in your paw now... <laughs> <lmao>
  8. Bobro mounts are the best, by far - I only have one, wish I had more, and hope I can get/find more of them in the future. They are perfect.
  9. Very nice, man, very nice. I've been on the hunt for a good 1-6 or 1.5-6 for awhile now. I like that one. <thumbsup>
  10. ^^^ His wife can SHOOT!!! <thumbsup>
  11. I'm down with the traction, and body cast. ;D
  12. That's good - and oh, so true. <thumbsup>
  13. If that were the case, we'd probably have an indication of it from this angle - but I'd be glad to volunteer and check, just to make sure... ;D
  14. It's a good one, brother - I'll stick some upper on that lower, and shoot it this Sunday. I've already had another upper on it, to get a feel for it, and I'm liking it. <thumbsup> Damn glad I picked it up. Damn glad Drew got inside MagPul's head! ;D <thumbsup>

    <laughs> <lmao> I'm cryin' over here... ;D
  16. I want... :ove3: :love4:
  17. They're about 40~45 miles apart. <thumbsup>
  18. OA quit selling directly, and only through distributors - unless you're local. You can still walk in, and purchase at the storefront. I'll see if I still know anybody up there that can walk in for you. <thumbsup> I didn't know I needed the Colt mags until I fell into this lower... :o I've found some, but they're some coin. I'll be picking up a handful of them on Friday.
  19. <laughs> <lmao> BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! <thumbsup>
  20. This was a great comment. <thumbsup> "A gun is like a parachute. If you need one and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
  21. Looks great - I love PRI tubes! <thumbsup>

    That rattler wasn't dead yet - he's still trying to coil up, hence, the curves in the body... This was the wildest "wild" thing I've sat there and watched. That red racer was NOT happy that we were there, either, and he progressively backed his ass up into the scrub. But, he didn't let go of dinner, either. Drug it with him.

    It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, but I've never seen any poop like this before... :o This actually happend last September, on Labor Day weekend. Took off and hit a small sand rec area near here, just to get away. Met up with two good friends, just to get out and ride. Near the small drag hill, the bottom ground is filled with alot of scrub brush, like little islands of stuff in the sandy bottom. We kept getting a little further back from the hill, to get a bigger run, to get a bigger jump off the starting hill - and get it up the hill. I circled around this one that was further back the before, and I thought I saw this two-colored stick... MOVE. It was enought to catch my eye. I turned around to get a better look, and this poop just blew my mind when I realized what it was. The pic below is a rattlesnake, being eaten by a red racer. I wished I could have seen the fight, because I wouldn't have imagined this turning out the way it did. This is a badass red racer, right here. <thumbsup>
  24. They happen, and they're a bitch to clear. They suck. EastTX - how many rounds are you loading in the mag that you have, and what's the advertised capacity of that mag? No matter what the answers might be, while you're breaking in the rifle, load the mag to 1/2 capacity. 20 rounder gets 10 rounds. 10 rounder gets 5. New mag springs are tight as hell, and need broken in, too - they've never been cycled. Stick your BCG, bolt down, on a vat of oil (oil of choice). Well before you head to the range, pull that BCG out of the vat of oil, hang it up, and let the excess drip off it. Shove it in the rifle and get busy with your 1/2 capacity-loaded mags. That right there will cut down on your initial problems.
