Be very cautious of you upper selection - you should just go with CMMG, right away. Otherwise, you may have troubles.

Been waiting for this topic to heat up - which is why I asked... >:D

^^^ Ditto. If I wasn't paying ALL the bills, that would be in my possession. Obama might have nailed it - pay your fair share... Eff that, that's a different story...

It costs more to service a Can-Am Maverick for it's 10-hr first service. 5.63 hrs at $110/hr, plus about $125 in synthetic Can)am chemicals. People $HIT when they bring that thing in!!! :eek:

Had a little setback painting today - detailed elsewhere. Rifle parts came out of the oven, and it's getting assembled. XD won't get it - just don't have time today.

^^^ That's the one. What you're getting for $999 is insane.

Metal rifle parts are gassing out right now, then get painted/baked. Will work on the few rifle plastic pieces (with EOTech) and XD frame next. XD slide in Burnt Bronze is last. XDs isn't getting painted today - just the XD. Gonna see how it turns out first, because I don't mind redoing it if I don't like it. When I get to the XDs, I only wanna do that one ONE TIME. That little bastard is hard to strip down.

Have you live-fired this rifle yet?

Magnification - just like putting a magnified scope on your rifle. You can't see the front sight post through the scope, usually when you've got it about 1.5 power and up. The reason that happens is because the scope is already focusing beyond that distance, where your front sight post is on the rifle. Same thing here.

Let's take a look at what Seekins is offering here, and what the Spike's would have been - check this thread:

From the sounds of your post, you're doing this in your house, trying to function-check this thing - on a bone-dry build. In the living room. You need to lube the hell out of it and shoot it with some commercial (known good) ammo. Get a couple hundred rounds down the pipe, and report the results. Unless I'm way off in my interpretation of your post...

I'd be tempted to try that Armalite model that was posted, only a few days ago. Someone will find it and link it - the price on that was NUTS!

MIke and I pull off every one of those everytime we get out and shoot in the desert - it's called "training." We didn't try that when we took Shib with us... We didn't know how he'd react. Plus, he was running video... <lmao>

^^^ <lmao> <laughs>

Called Tech Line today - they're not giving up any info yet, and have nothing posted on the dealersite yet. As soon as tech specs show up, I'll get them in here.

^^^ Following him... Welcome from AZ - the real "free state..." <lmao>

I'll power it up, with pics, afterwards. <thumbsup>

If Rainier said they headspaced it - then they did. Just like Fulton. When those guys say they do it, they really do. If they confirmed it, you have zero to worry about. <thumbsup>

You typically determine what buffer you need, after you determine how your load is cycling. Food for thought. If you're developing a load to work with a specifically-weighted buffer, you're doing it wrong. Also, lower receiver doesn't matter.

That's weak. You had 7 months to engrave them.

That's a 14+1 FORTY-FIVE?

This is why I build ARs, and don't fuk with 1911s... <lmao>

Gonna try it as-is and see what happens. Worst case scenario - wears off quickly. At that point, it goes in the blast cabinet, then gets repainted. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. In addition to the Melonited-slides-accept-Cerakote test, we get to see how the EOTechs-can-be-baked-twice test goes. <thumbsup>

I'll pull the details from the dealer site. Don't know if I can log in from home now - used to be able to. Got in - nothing mentioned yet. Gonna call tomorrow and find out where the info is buried on the website.

I saw that one, eventually. Mike has some info messed up, though - no carbon fiber frame, but carbon fiber body panels and supercharged intake tracts. H2 won't be supercharged, but the H2R is. Man, I need to log into the Kawi dealer site and pull the info out of there...
