Finally- an AR optic less than $400 that has an actual round shaped dot. I hate the $30 red dots that have something shaped like Haley's Comet with a big red tail streaming off the side at about the 2:00 position. It looks like someone put some thought into the design of that one. The clean...

Given how PSA sells out of things, I'd be ordering sooner rather than later. I wish I'd ordered one of their 4.5" 9mm uppers a week or two ago when it was in stock.

I understand where you're coming from, but I have way too many black rifles. I mean, there's a point at which you can't fondle them anymore. You just have to pile them up and do the back stroke like Scrooge McDuck.

Possibly a few, if I could get what I paid for them. I wouldn't sell them for a profit or anything like that. :eek:

Ah- yes, a real scope :) I couldn't resist the shameless plug.

I'd have to agree in spirit. Although I have zero desire to go to Brazil for any reason, even if it's an all expense paid trip.

I've still got a 3-9x40 VX-II for a pretty reasonable price ;)

I've been thinking the same thing... and I'm leaning toward the budget build just to see what it will do.

If I didn't enjoy the hobby, I would have trouble justifying the time for all the reloading- but I like it. Are subs running that cheap? Those always seem to be hard to find for a "good" price. Oh- and brass is basically free. I have a bunch, but 9mm and .380 always seem to be on the ground...

Last time I figured it out, I was somewhere around $6 per 50 (i.e. "box" quantity). I haven't priced projectiles recently- about two years ago I ordered thousands from Precision Delta. The projectile cost is the biggest part of the reloaded round cost. From memory, which is unreliable, I...

Since I'm a reloader (even for the "cheap" 9mm)... I just started buying 124 grain and 147 grain projectiles almost exclusively. I can load either weight subsonic. My ratio would be greatly skewed if I figured it out- I think I have one partial box of AE Suppressor 9mm ammo. I don't have much...

I guess they were busy... Isakson's reply email just came in this morning.

I have no proof, but I was thinking 20" would probably be best, with 18" a close second. 16" just seems too short- based solely on my personal opinion.

Well that sounds like confirmation :) Which barrel length did you go with? I'm not so concerned about accuracy, mostly about burning all the powder. I'm thinking the 18" or 20" is the better choice, but I don't know really. One house ago I could afford to test both- now I'm stuck with one...

I've been "working" on a AR10 for awhile... got a lower from PSA and the full lower build kit including the stock/buffer/buffer tube. And that's where my build stalled. Oh- and a few mags from somewhere that had them on sale. So basically, I have the lower end and a spare Leuopld VX-II...

Well, yes- but I bought that one just because I wanted to go through the learning process of finishing one. I mean, I have probably bought 10 lowers through FFL's, but had never finished and 80% lower. If the powers that be want me, that one 80% lower isn't going to make a bit of difference...

Aluminum 80% from some company that I want to say was "HTA' off the top of my head... but it wasn't Huntertown Arms (which is the first thing I think of from "HTA"). Maybe HT2. It was a PSA purchase with the jig and lower. It was a pain in the a$$ because I pushed through the drilling...

Well, after searching my profile history here (which, by the way, could use some work @dougiemac ) I can't find a damn thing about my previous started threads. I went through the Firearms section, but maybe I put it in the Reviews section. I'll hunt some more tomorrow. I feel pretty darn sure...

I'm pretty sure I copied the content over here after I deleted the post off the other place. I'll see if I can find a link-

Oops... wrong thread. Although I have a rather well documented 80% lower build thread. I really just built that one out of curiosity/an "academic" exercise.
