Matt.Cross Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 LOL It's epic every time you talk to my sweetheart, and more often than not, gets me out of trouble for ridiculous expenditures, which must be a Ranger skill 'cause I dang sure don't have it.
SimonSays Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 It finally arrived, 7-3-2019. Primary Arms 3-18X50 FFP with Athena BPR “meal” Reticle. Now I have to decide on a mount. I’m taking Blue109’s advice he gave Shepp a few years ago. I’m going to use spacers to determine the aprox height and eye relief I need.
Inet Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 O/S take down pins from JP, couple of magazines from Larue. 500 rds of 300 blk just landed from Lucky Gunner.These guys seem to be a real good place to go for factory ammo. price(s) are fair and they are very prompt with the shipping.
suzukiray Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 All the parts came in! I'm building these today!!!

suzukiray Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) My 5 Larue MBTs were here when I got home yesterday!!! Along with a hat, a bottle opener and one of the coolest bumper stickers I've seen in a looong time!!! Edited July 9, 2019 by suzukiray
suzukiray Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 Lol!! I'll take a picture of it when I get home from work and post it. I figured someone would say that but I ran out of time this morning.
SimonSays Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 That’s a great bumper sticker! I ordered this Vortex mount. https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-precision-qr-extended-cantilever-mount.html?_iv_cant=20-moa&_iv_code=VX-MT-DF42-CM-530-20
98Z5V Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 That's the oldest bumper sticker they make, along with "Extremely Rightwing." They're including "Extremely Deplorable" since the last presidential election.

98Z5V Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 Mark LaRue showers you in gifts, when you buy from him. It's amazing. Paint mixers, bumper stickers, copies of the "Pocket Constitution," copies of the story of "Forty Miles a Day on Beans and Hay," more bumper stickers, LaRue Dillo Dust... which is no more. You won't get that anymore, that was the old days. Hats, I forgot about hats. I can't find my FDE hat, right now, and that is bumming me out - it's somewhere, I got it with an upper that I bought. The "LaRue Accuracy Report" that isn't necessarily mailed out with your order - it just comes in the mail to regular customers...Targets... Holiday gifts... You shop with LaRue long enough, and they'll take care of you. What I opened above was one box - and there are more boxes. The prized possession was Dillo Dust, which has been discontinued. Gone. I can provide members with Dillo Dust, when they come out here, if they bring their empty container from LaRue - I'll refill it for you. I thought I made that clear one time, but one member here was pretty confused about it - bring me your empty Dillo Dust container that you got from LaRue, and I'll refill it during a visit here. That's pretty simple to understand, I think... Christmas presents are the best, though...
98Z5V Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 Don't show up with any free-loading shiit like this, and expect to get it refilled...
jtallen83 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Taking the advice given here, @98Z5V, and bought a 22 conversion with 3 25 round mags instead of a dedicated 22 LR build. Those grandkids are breaking me with the ammo bill! Took a bit to get past the CMMG brand after all the anti memes posted here Figure it comes from Brownells so if I don't like it it will be money back. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/bolt-carrier-groups/bravo-ss-22lr-conversion-kit-w-3-25rd-magazines-sku100022952-54549-191643.aspx
98Z5V Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 ^^^ That stainless one is good, besides the name of the manufacturer... Even the phosphated one is good - if you seriously shortcut the break in process on it. They work, brother - you'll like it, and you'll be able to "accept" the ammo bill to run it, just a little better... After shooting for a day, take that BCG out and toss in the regular BCG, and punch about half a dozen fullpower 5.56 rounds downrange - if the .22LRs were in the process of leading up the gas port in the barrel, those 5.56 rounds will blow that stuff right out of there.
mrmackc Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 Wow, I just spent a hour looking up parts for my wife's Poulan Pro walk behind mower. I got a good deal, bought it almost new, The parts should get here in a couple of days ala USPS and RFD. It got where the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I took it in the shop cleaned it up of spider webs and durt. . Found the parts I need on Amazon, Surprised me too ordered a new battery $21, a new primer bulb and air cleaner, spark plug. After all I can't afford to get up and keep running outside and start the engine every time she let's go of the safety bar that kills the engine. I mean after all I bought her a nice self-propelled electric start 22" mower, so she wouldn't have to quit mowing before this only acre and a half gets over a beer can high. I think she really appreciates me doing stuff for her, anyhow she has stayed with me for 54 years thru thick and thin and 4 kids all grown and have kids of their own now. I reckon I am a lucky old codger, after all. Praise the Lord.
DNP Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 You’re a good man Mack. I hope I can keep my wife as happy as you have yours. We got a long way to go before 54. Damn....we’re at 16 in a couple months. I’m pretty sure mine is gonna kill me before 54.
mrmackc Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 Well DNP, I could have deserved killing a couple of times in the 54 years, and crazy old me, I even taught her to shoot and drug her off to the NRA Whittington Ranch in Raton back in 1977 and she came out a NRA Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun Instructor. She is deadly with her old Model 1908 Colt 32ACP.
