I addition to a $2k cashpile I have in reserve for a certain payoff - and some well deserved interest on top of that... I might have some spare parts for you. I might be a PRI-Whore, with a stockpile. We can begin with the counseling, but that always takes time. I think we should begin the therapy with some fucking gun parts. Not only is it more theraputic that way - it actually works. I think we can short-cut this process, and get you on with the "healing..."

Next best advice I ever received from @DNP was this. It's true, too, after he met me - and I met his wife the same trip, and a bunch of his other friends. The only thing he offered after that trip, minus a warm, welcome pants-down hug, was this... That made me dig DEEP inside myself, and really look at who I am. I had to think about myself, and how I am around others, in both public and private. It was a painful journey into soul-searching, and it lasted about 2 minutes. At that point, I came to the realization of a simple mantra... - FUK 'EM.

The very best relationship advice I've ever had came from @DNP - and I think it really came from his wife, who I love dearly. This was what he said - and I think SHE really said it... She knows me too well...

I'm pretty proficient at spotting them. I can pick the good ones, right away. I can pick the fuckin' nutcases right away. It's just "picking those good ones" - because 90% of the time, they can TURN... Zero notice. Fuckin' NO CLUES. They just turn. Like zombies. My database is pretty extensive, and I'm still working on "the science" in it all, and risking my life. Daily. I'll figure that last 10% out, on these blondes, or I'll die tryin'. For YOU FUCKERS. My research will give you happiness in the end, if I can ever figure this out. However... It's not gonna matter how this-or-that goes, in this last 10%... Most of them are batshiit crazy, and THEY HIDE IT. Until it's too late. That's exactly what sucked me into a marriage with the last one... She WAITED to lose her absolute shiit, until the vows were done. She HID IT. Yeah, yeah, I Do, I love you forever... and BAM! Instant Psycho. I still have the text messages to prove it. I'll get to the bottom of this, brothers - for research. My life for your life. One of these bitches is gonna keel me one of these days, and the research ends, right then. Just take the lessons-learned, and drive on. Hard. Never give up.

Then, you're NOT building an AR-10. You're building a DPMS LR-308-based platform. The "AR-10" is the Armalite platform. Some parts interchange between the two platforms, but not all. Terminology matters. Welcome aboard.

However, she is gonna straight BEAT MY ASS when you finally bring her out here. And I deserve it, and I'll take it like a man.

THAT... you're in a tight decision-making spot. That's one HELL of a conundrum, right there. My mental thought-process as I read the statement in red, in real time... Matt: "Right now I can't decide whether I should try to complete a new build quickly..." Self: Hell yeah, that's the only way to roll, brother. Get the pain over with with the crash. Recover later. Matt: "...or just buy a 6mm ARC barrel and swap it into the current Mod 1,..." Self: He just lost his shiit, right there, he's OUT OF HIS MIND IF HE RIPS THAT MOD 1 GRENDEL APART! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIIT!!!... Matt: "...and then base a Mod 0 off the Grendel barrel eventually." Self: DAMN!!! THAT MAKES SENSE!!! Badass Mod 1 6 ARC, AND a SICK Mod 0 Grendel!!! HELL YES, BROTHER!!! Whichever way you go, I support your sound decision making, your rational clarity, and your sickness. I'm here for you... Even when your wife is dogging me out. Just blame me, brother. She might not understand, but she won't (probably) choke you out in the middle of the night...

Finding the actual part number - then searching that part number - will be the key to locating one.

I sense a little jealousy over this sweet, sweet little piece of perfection that's headed my way - that fine-ass LaRue lower...

Sorry - I flinched, and replied...

LaRue 5.56 lower shipped today. The Ultimate Upper Kit hasn't shipped yet. Baby Steps, men, Baby Steps...

Too easy - the first one. The rest are whack-a-doodle, and you can REALLY see it in #2 and #3. #4 has self-esteem issues. #1 has some good ink, is wearing some REAL multicam pants, knows how to handle belted ammunition - so she's probably a Vet. I'm all in for her - those other ones are trouble. Good quiz, though, you tried to fuk me up with all-blondes...

This is our ride to Laughlin, coming up. 2020 has been very nice to Gun Pusher John. This is supposed to be his wife's new car. I just don't see it that way...

I thought I found that Unicorn a few years ago. Turns out, she was just batshit crazy like the rest. The original, not a copy...

6mm ARC. Ballistic Advantage Mk12 SPR profile barrel, 18" rifle gas. Gas port diameter is 0.097".

One Tax Stamp instead of two.

I like that they're listing their gas port diameter. ^^^ So many companies are scared shiitless of doing that, because they don't know what the fuk they're doing in the first place. That's pretty damn cool - and smart. And that gas port diameter is what it needs to be, too. Bonus points for them.

I'm working that exact same age differential with the Mexican/Apache hot chick. She's 35, I'm 52. It's a magical combination, I'm just sayin'...

All you Fathers out there, just know this now. You are literally MotherFuckers. There's just no other way around that, and it's truth. I love you all.

Sounds just like the attitude of England, against "their colony" America, back in 1773 and 1774 and 1775. On 19 April, 1775, we'd had enough. @308kiwi, I hope you're doing alright, brother. It shiit is really that stupid, you always have a place to stage out of here in AZ, and get an American life started. That offer has no expiration, brother.

That's gonna be tough to pull off, even for a POS 5.56 gun, let alone a Grendel gun, brother. Seriously. Talk him into something reliable, that he doesn't have to worry about, and we don't have to diagnose later. Making a $500 Grendel won't be easy.

Need to know his budget then, because that's $991 for a complete badass Grendel gun, brother. Try to talk some sense into him. That is dirt-cheap, for a known-HIGH-quality complete gun. I'm just sayin'...

Down with it, brother - good lookin' out. 200 rounds inbound from Ammo Supply Warehouse for $215 shipped.

Honestly, no shiit, top-quality complete rifle?! What if I told you that your friend could have a COMPLETE LaRue 18" Grendel for $991... The Ultimate Upper Kit (everything but a lower receiver) is $792, and the stripped 5.56 lower is $199. That's $991. Shipping will be about $25 for both orders, shipping separately (UPS), and he'll need a scope and mount. That's one HELL of a rifle for that price. You just cannot beat that, for the gun that you're receiving. No way. Select the barrel, and the other parts in the drop-down: https://www.larue.com/products/larue-ultimate-ar-15-upper-kit/ Then buy this, in 5.56: https://www.larue.com/products/larue-billet-lowers/ There isn't anybody else on the planet making a better gun for twice that price, maybe more... IMHO...

Might as well not mess around, while I'm waiting for parts to show up. Started gathering what I'll need to make this one get down to business... Right now, from extensive searches, there is ZERO stock on Hornady 81608 - that's the 20-rd boxes of 108gr ELD-M Match loaded ammunition. Time to find brass. I'm betting my 6.5 Grendel powder will be just fine to work loads up. EDIT - Well, looks like the brass isn't available yet, either. Hornady 86287, 50 pieces per package. Nowhere right now. Good thing we have 'til the Fall, men. Thank goodness I have my ldeal barrel already...
