SHUUSSSSH, YOU!!! That's what we WANT him to find!...

Hell yeah, it would! This is "potato gun" on a whole different level.

Dude, THAT'S AWESOME!!!

@Cunuckgaucho - Sometimes, the coyote wins, brother...

I like this - it's going to be good...

Oh, Shiit! That sucks, man, but we can work through it.

Good stuff - you've been reading, which is excellent.

My Fall schedule is already so packed, and so fukked, it's not even funny. However, this weekend was open - until a shooting buddy sent me this... Well... WHY NOT?!!?

I don't know what this is, but I WANT IT!!! Watch the vid, it's way more than just shooting butt plugs!!!

This is a really good vid, and this guy always publishes great information. Well worth the time. It's the difference between military grade weapons and commercial grade weapons.

I fukkin' KNEW IT! I knew you weren't just "regular people"...

Shiit, I thought that was YOU. Butt... <<< Intentional... He ABSOLUTELY RECEIVED SOME DEGREE.... Of Something...

Travis Pastrana is crazy AF. This one is a "no way" for me - until it's already done. Then, it would be a fun ride!

Wow. I like Grimace is a ButtPlug. But damn. Doc, you nailed the other one. Never surrender your teeth...

Hank said "Nope" ?...

This is exactly what we do during the summer in Central AZ... and NO guilt about it...

What did I win?...

Never. Never, ever. Three reasons why. 1. When you're putting a barrel nut on an upper receiver, you aren't putting any significant torque to the index pin. Muzzle devices? Yes, kinda, but the barrel nut should have been locked down before you started messing with muzzle devices, in the first place. 2. Common misconception that the index pin actually pins the barrel extension to the barrel - it doesn't. It's only in the barrel extension, and does NOT go through the extension, to pin the extension TO the barrel. Just doesn't. If it does, you have an improperly made barrel. 3. The barrel extension is torqued onto the threaded barrel at 175 lb/ft. Not a typo. If someone damaged the index pin into the slot into the upper receiver, either their barrel wasn't made correctly, or their torque wrench is a POS - they're going WAY too heavy...

HeavyD levels up. I don't know how many of you guys regularly watch and of HeavyDSparks vids - but he's one hell of a great guy. He just went bigger. More Bigly. WAAAAY BIGGER... Check this out...

You are a Protagonist. You know that, right?...

That's just like talking to Roman late at night on the phone... He even LOOKS like Roman... The only thing missing was "SHUT YOUR COCK-HOLSTER!!!"...

In case you guys thought I was kidding, Jimothy is even laser engraved under the pistol grip...

Wait until you guys meet Jimothy... He's in progress right now, and will be completed quite quickly. And he's badass. In case you've never heard of Jimothy, here he is... Now, apply that to a gun...

Here's the deal, and the press releases from yesterday. I'm surprised they haven't been posted yet, but here they are. I'm starting with Ballistic Advantage first. A NEW CHAPTER Ballistic Advantage is doing things a little differently now. Previously, we operated as a subsidiary company to Aero Precision. Now, we’re officially operating as parallel businesses with new ownership partners, and we’re excited about what this next chapter allows us to do. We know what we’re capable of. We know the products we make, we know the people behind them, and we know the standard we expect from ourselves. Now, we get to take that even further. No limits on where we can go. No limits on what we can build. No limits on what’s next. We’re not here to focus on what was. We’re here to show you what’s coming. The standard isn’t changing. We’re raising it. Ballistic Advantage is here. We’re building. And we’re just getting started. Now, to Aero Precision. We’re coming back. The past few years have been challenging. Financial and operational challenges affected our ability to manufacture products, fulfill orders, support our partners, and provide the level of service our customers expect. We know that created frustration, and we sincerely apologize. To the customers, dealers, distributors, vendors, and industry partners who continued to believe in our brands and stand beside us: thank you. Now, we get to move forward. Aero Precision, Ballistic Advantage, Stag Arms, and VG6 are now under new ownership by a passionate family investment group with a long-term commitment to our brands, our people, and our customers. Our new owners are outdoor and firearms enthusiasts, strong supporters of our military and veteran communities, business owners, hardworking, self-made people who are truly salt of the earth. They share many of the same values as the customers and communities our brands serve, including a strong belief in and commitment to the Second Amendment. They believe deeply in what already exists here: incredibly strong brands, proven products, talented people, loyal customers, and state-of-the-art American manufacturing facilities and equipment that are among the most advanced in the industry. Working alongside W.G. Nielsen & Co., a leading Denver-based investment banking firm that served as financial advisor for the transaction, the new ownership group developed a long-term vision centered on preserving what makes these brands special while providing the capital, leadership, resources, and operational discipline needed to help these companies realize their full potential. That vision is about building companies that last, and our new ownership understands that doing so takes time. Through high-quality engineering, manufacturing excellence, and precision machining, we will bring the products our customers know and love back to market while rebuilding inventory, bringing our teams back to strength, and investing in the future of each brand. Customers can expect product availability to steadily increase over the coming months. We ask for patience as we do this the right way. Our commitment is not simply to get products back on shelves, but to earn back the trust of our customers, dealers, distributors, and partners through our actions, deliver the quality and service these brands are known for, and build a company that is stronger than ever. The work has already begun. Manufacturing is ramping back up. Supply chains are being restored. Customer and dealer support is being strengthened. Products will begin returning to shelves. And our teams are already working on what comes next. Our immediate priorities are clear: Return manufacturing to full strength. Restore and strengthen relationships with our vendors and partners. Fulfill our significant backlog of existing orders and commitments. Restore consistent product availability across all sales channels. Rebuild trust and deliver the level of support our customers deserve. Invest in our people and American manufacturing capabilities. Get back to doing what our brands do best: building great products and bringing exciting, high- quality, affordable products to market. We know rebuilding trust doesn't happen with a press release. We have to earn it. And we will. And there is a lot more to come... Stay tuned for exciting announcements, including product availability updates, returning favorites, and new product launches. To everyone who supported us, stood beside us, believed in our brands, and waited patiently for this moment: THANK YOU. We would not be here without you. Aero Precision. Ballistic Advantage. Stag Arms. VG6.

Geissele Reaction Rod, all the way. They make 2 of them, small-frame ARs and large-frame ARs. Only way to go. There are others out there, copies, some good, some not. When you start looking at the cost of a real Reaction Rod, factor in how many guns you think you're gonna build. Cost-to-benefit ratio. I make alot of guns for myself, and for friends, and I let my local Gun Pusher use my large-frame Reaction Rod - I go get it back from him when I need to assemble one of my own. The cheapest I'd go would be the copy that Brownells makes. Stay away from aluminum ones, unless it's a one-time build.
