They DO make the .875 - Sweet!

Well, the trigger kit wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination. Started on it last night, got pissed and left it until this morning. It MUST be fit. There is no way around that. Little bit of fitting, test for function, rip it down and do a little bit more fitting - until it's right. Finished it up this morning, function tested everything, and took it to the range. DAMN! What a major, major difference! I'll be keeping this pistol, and getting another XD to go with it. Along with another trigger kit and extended mag release. These things ROCK! If you watch the install videos that are on Springer Precision's website, it covers almost everything you need to know. Some things are left out, but you can work with it. They also have a pretty good rationale for having the XD over the XDm, and how to convert the XDm over to XD functioning, and why you'd want to do that. <thumbsup> Searching for the XD 5" Tactical now... ;D Forgot to add the teaser pic from today - my boy on the FV-SR, canned up. If you snap your fingers, it's louder than this combo... <thumbsup>

PRI, in case this one is searched on in the future. They do .625, .750, and .936. I don't think they do the .875 blocks, though.

No you won't. You'll end up building a full carbine, instead. You just don't know that yet... <thumbsup>

poop, that's nothing for The King - he killed Bin Laden. Jaws is a walk in the park for him... <dontknow>

The Springer Precision parts came in today - didn't make it yesterday. I installed the extended mag release whilst at work today (incredibly easy to install), and I'm doing the trigger kit now. Will update in a few.

That thing SHOOTS sweet, man. Blasted it last October, down here. It's completely badass.

Damn, that looks good, ss - MIGHTY fine work. <thumbsup>

<lmao> I know I get myself in trouble - while it's happening, most of the time. :( <dontknow>

That is fantastic - between Mark LaRue and Ronnie Barrett, other firearms manufacturers could learn a few things in relation to state and local LEO sales. If this policy was applied industry-wide, by all manufacturers, there would be a giant backlash, but there would be a lot of opinion change... <thumbsup>

Rob, I almost went there, but I keep myself in enough trouble as it is... <dontknow> <laughs>

It's already on me, brother... :o

There's a whole bunch of lines in that pic - I can't see poop... <dontknow>

Let me pick up a good spray gun first, and I'll make the announcement... <thumbsup> I'll paint whatever you guys need/want painted. I'll even paint your chick for you, but she may not want to come back afterwards... <dontknow> <laughs>

I shouldn't have talked poop about the snow caves to Drew - it's snowing here this morning, in the desert... :o That's Karma, right there... :(

Gonna be some awfully terrified coyotes out there, too. <lmao>

Hell yeah, brother. <thumbsup>

They make some damn good scopes, man. If you can get them 1/2 off, you'd be crazy not to grab one up... <thumbsup>

Hey, hey... He can look at the Schmidt & Bender and US Optics offerings, too. <thumbsup>

<laughs> And we'll spend your money in a split-second. :o "You can trust me with your life, but not your wallet or your ammo..." <lmao>

Things like this almost bring a tear to my eye - if I could cry. >:( Things like this also make me realize how much I hate gougers. I love this place. <thumbsup>

poop, it was already gone when he made his intro post - he just didn't know it yet... <laughs>

You can run any kind of handguard that is made for a DPMS. I'm pretty sure all the Bushmaster 308s use the newer DPMS rail height, but you'll have to measure your upper to be certain. There's a pinned thread in this section that describes the process. Welcome aboard, man. <thumbsup>

Same exact thing I thought when I saw the first pic. <thumbsup>

Damn! :o That didn't take long. Be careful, brother.
