That's right, man - I'm 10 feet tall, two coats of hair, three rows of teeth, and I'm bullet-proof!!! <laughs>

THere are no stupid questions, so get busy, man. Welcome aboard. <thumbsup>

You say that now, whilst you'd twist me head off in person... <lmao> All jokes aside, damn glad you're here, brother.

I've got 10 years on him, but he's got 8 inches in height, and 110 pounds - but I'm scrappy! :o I know tricks, though... <laughs> What I really like - he can process anything we take in the wild. That's an asset right there, big time, especially in the long run. It's the knowledge, not the tools. Disclaimer: In reference to "anything we take in the wild" has NO direct correlation to anything Drew meets in a bar. None. <hump>

Texans are always welcome here - your gun laws are almost as good as my Arizona laws. ;D Glad to have you here. <thumbsup> You might be big, but I'd wrastle ya. There are rules, though - you can't have a lasso... :o

CDNN Sports, good people so far, and haven't wavered during all this - they ARE NOT the Cheaper Than Dirt assholes... They're closed right now, but open back up at 8am Wednesday - this is what they're selling - and they state it'll go up once these things are out of stock. See if any of thisis what you need (I hope the pic works...): - It works - click to make biggened...

Got my Brownell's tracking number for the paint today - won't be long now. <thumbsup>

You got it, brother - I'll start loading the truck when you text. <thumbsup>

They sure didn't fcuk around a couple days ago, when it was time for their own pay raises...

Jon, La Casita closed, Cafe Ole closed, My Place opening at 5, Landmark Cafe opening at 6. I'd give the nod to My Place for massive variety. Down Fry, past 7th, and it's on the left, directly after Oil Can Henry's. <thumbsup>

Smart man. <thumbsup> Sorry to hear about that tragic accident, and I'm thankful that you're okay. ;D

Drew, if something should occur, well, you know... I think you need to plan out your possessions very smartly. Like Matt did prior to his forray into the Tennessee wilds. <thumbsup> Who here gets what, brother?... <lmao>

Thank you, Matt - very, very much. I hope this helps someone here.

Likewise, if you're one that will do this, you will probably be short on time in "making your configuration" when that order page opens up. Do your homework, do your recon, plan what you want. Have your barrel picked out, have your rail picked out, cruise the DD website and make informed choices ahead of time. There are no "bad parts" from DD. There really isn't something on there that would "let you down," or break, because you didn't select the more expensive option, at the time. I suggest this, at least for a barrel - the 16" midlength gas, LW profile, 1:7 twist. That will be a great shooting barrel, handle all ranges of ammo you can find, will be accurate, and is a good compromise between barrel length, mobility, and range. WIth a good 14.5" barrel, you can knock stuff down at 600 yards (training would be the limiting factor in that), so... Additionally, that barrel is in stock right now. For how long, who knws, but it's there now. Good luck. <thumbsup> <thumbsup>

If it's already too late, and you can't find anything, and prices are through the roof - and you now NEED an AR-15... Have Daniel Defense build you one. You can custom order a rifle from them, and current reports are that you'll have it in a couple weeks - like, more than one week, but probably around TWO WEEKS. DD has not marked up their prices, they are not gouging, and it's the same as it always was. Now, DD has a specific page on their website set up for this. You go to the page, identify how you want your rifle built, and finish the process. THERE IS A RESTRICTION ON THIS... DD only takes the orders that they can complete THAT DAY, and they shut the page down. The page goes active again at 12am (midnight) for the next day's orders. Once those are filled, it shuts down again, until midnight, again. You'll get a damn high quality rifle, and great customer support, and a great guarantee. You'll get what you want. Hit the page now (during the day), and it's already shut down. Hit it up again at midnight, and it's active - I don't know if it will be active tonight, because I'm pretty sure they're closed tomorrow... https://danieldefense.com/build-your-ddm4

I'm in for that - Ill recon everything today. <thumbsup> Greg needs to get a flight soon! :o

Jon, you call the time, brother - you have the drive. Greg, let me know when you're landing. <thumbsup>

More - very good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqQ5ij3UYb0

Damn. All, true.

Nope - that poop was swift.

Very, very true - DO NOT think you'll get anything fast from that factory.

Great optic, man. I think you have two choices with that one - BDC-800 reticle, so it'll have bullet drop lines/circles for the different ranges. I think you can also do a standard reticle (crosshairs), and you'd get the calibrated turrets with range marks on them. Dial in the distance, shoot... <thumbsup>

AR-15 stuff is what's used. DO NOT try to run the VLTOR A5 setup on a .308 AR, though. AR-15 rifle or carbine receiver extensions are what you'll be after.

Kinda sucks out there right now, but hang in there, man.

Easy explanation, Matt ^^^ ... For the most part, kids bounce. Damn near made o' rubber. <thumbsup> <thumbsup>
