Prepping the parts tonight, for paint tomorrow.

If they had the GSR there, then jump on it, brother! <dontknow>

I think there would be a hell of alot of Colonels and Generals telling The King to go fcuk himself. Did you guys know that one Admiral and one General were relieved over Benghazi? General Carter Ham, and Rear Admiral Charles Baouette. The newest spin is that Banghazi wasn't the reason. The General had the ground force necessary, and the Admiral had the capability to get the ground force there. They launched the rescue mission, after being told to stand down. I don't think we need to worry about the military coming after us. Not in the least.

6mm isn't a standardized NATO cartridge. Simply based on that, the .mil will never use it, unless it's NATO approved. Specialized units are another story altogether.

Rene, I just noticed your sig line - Awesome, brother! <thumbsup>

She's quite the squirrel slayer - you don't talk about that much. You should let the rest of the guys know about that... <thumbsup>

Hell Yeah! <thumbsup> Honestly, I didn't expect that kind of response from anyone in Cali, but then again, it's a County Sheriff, and not a straight-politician. I'm curious to see what the granola-crunching politicians come up with... <dontknow>

It'll make the fourth magazine-fed bolt gun I've got... ;D <thumbsup>

Fuckin' EXCELLENT letter. I certainly hope The King is starting to understand the Big Picture.

Placed the order with RifleGear on the 11 Jan. I've dealt with them in the past on several things, but I've never purchased a lower or firearm from them, so I immediately sent them an email with my local FFL File Copy attached. I called them yesterday, not for an order status, but just to make sure the email came through with the FFL info. It did. Right now, on their status page, they say DON'T CALL US. Send emails. Well, I called anyway... <dontknow> The guy I talked to was very, very cool, and actually just started working there not long ago. AND, he's from Tempe, AZ. <thumbsup> <laughs> I ended up on the phone with him for 45 minutes... <lmao> At any rate, I was professional enough not to even mention the status of the rifle, or when it would ship - from what he was saying, they're slammed just like the rest of the industry right now. The status page on the website says that it will be 2 weeks from date of order before in stock items ship, so I've got another week to go, based on that. Another 1 or 2 days in transit to the FFL. The day it hits my FFL, I'll break out of work and pick it up. Then I'll go up the road, to the canyon, and put a SureFire 60rd mag through it... ;D

Centermass is great, but it's only permanently effective if you make a CNS hit. Nothing else in the centermass zone will drop them, but it'll damn sure slow them down and make them think about it. Different games...

SHOT Show 2013 is going on right now, also - something to keep in mind when trying to contact companies at this current time.

Good stuff - goes with my dedicated CNC files. <thumbsup>

PINK mags came in today. <thumbsup> Pure quality, nice paint, MagPul followers.

Not long ago, right here on this board, this topic came up. IIRC, the topic was open carry makes you a target. I stand against that opinion, and think it make you an anti-target. I open carry very often. Basically, whenever I'm not working - at work, it's concealed. I open carry all over town, too. Sometimes I get looks, most times I don't. Sometimes I get comments from people, and my favorite response is: "If you don't exercise your Second Amendment rights, you will lose them."

I like how you threw the names of your two rifles in there... <laughs> <thumbsup> Good writeup, brother.

These assholes completely lost all my respect with their actions, but they just won't stop now. Plastic Beta C mag, $699: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/MAG-056?utm_source=EmailDirect.com&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Magazines+-+1%2f15+Campaign They had a geniune Colt 30rd AR mag, $129... If this poop calms down, and some sort of "normalcy" returns, I sure hope people remember this, down the road.

Not in a circumstance like that, which was evidenced by closed-circuit video...

All 29 County Sheriffs in Utah State say they will NOT enforce any kind of Federal AWB, if one goes through. I'm still looking for any kind of media breaking this news, but can't find anything. It will hit the news in the next few days, for certain. My hat is off to every one of them. <thumbsup>

Sell it right here on the board - lots of RRA guys here. Someone will scoop it up, as long as it's "smartly" priced.

Drill slow (drill on a slow speed, pressure very slow/light). Last thing you need to do is get through it fast enough to tag the opposite inside of the barrel when the bit goes through. Barrel steel might be tough, but the bits will get right through that gas port hole. <thumbsup>

Fantastic, man! <thumbsup> Congrats on winning the waiting-game!

Doc, that's awesome, man!!! Lube it up and shoot the HELL out if it. ;D

You're on a roll, brother - don't slow down now! <lmao> <laughs>

For a damn good compass, one that will never fail you, I highly, highly suggest a Silva Ranger Type 15CL. I've had this one since 1988. It's already got the protractors etched into the body (one less thing to carry), and it's got a 10cm ruler, marked in millimeters etched in the body (one more thing you don't have to carry, and you cam make your own 30cm section for lat/long map measurements). You can dial in your own magnetic declination with it, so that's one less calculation to make when map reading/land navigation. What's not to like?... <dontknow> ;D Don't buy the Silva Ranger Type 15CLQ - very important. That's a quadrant compass, and not what you need.
