I wish I had a positive firearms outlook... but with the house we are about to buy, I'm not going to have fun money until I can unload the current place. So my plans are probably just to sell off the stuff I don't "need" and probably invest some of that money into ammo (since it's available...

Wow... I hope they're in good shape for that price. I have a feeling there will be a bunch of rattle traps in the 100k they are getting. I'm really not interested in one either considering I could go get a pretty nice new Colt for near that price point.

A friend of mine has one in .22-250. Good rifle... although his is heavy as hell with the bull barrel and green/gray laminate stock. Fairly smooth action, reasonable trigger, and it shoots about MOA with his loads. Although I've never considered him good with details, so I don't know how good...

If that was to me, it's a carbine length.

I appreciate the diagnosis... and I forgot about the buffer. I think that one has the Spike's heavy buffer in it- only because it was a free add in from Aim Surplus when I bought the upper. I think that upper/later full carbine was bought in about 2008 during the post divorce buying spree...

That particular rifle is the one I always go to- it's a 16" 1:7 Spike's factory lightweight upper that I put a "13.something" inch BAR rail on- it's my favorite carbine. The gas block is the one that came on the upper- I milled the bayonet lug and sight tower off of so it would fit under the...

Wow... well, that's good to hear about the Specwar. I was being dumb when I bought it from Jake because I think I picked it based on price and the QD mount alone. I will say that three or four quick shots is all I can take at a time. And I'm pretty sure my rifle is really over gassed. I...

I wish I could comment on the gas block... I bought a DSG railed upper during last year's black friday sale mostly because it had an adjustable gas block. I've yet to fit the required flash hider to that upper so I can shoot it suppressed. I'm tired of eating gas when shooting the AR with the...

The biggest draw I see here (for me at least) is being able to roll the selector over to that illusive 3rd position. But that has a total value of about $19.95 for me (plus $9.95 S&H).

@Righter13- Great to hear day one was a big success! Glad to hear you and your wife enjoyed the training.

Executive orders still aren't law. I have no idea how this would actually affect us citizens. And everybody remember to do Bills of Sale that are all dated 12/12/2015. Problem solved?

Hey man- BMW mechanics have to eat steak and lobster for lunch everyday... cars designed to pack on maintenance hours (I had a friend that was a certified mechanic at the local BMW dealership). Glad to hear you had what you needed to get it fixed. Enjoy the trip! If you can, share some pics!

Wow... sub $14 per ounce right now. Lowest I've seen since I started paying attention to precious metals.

You know, I never really thought about sight radius and the possible impact on known come-ups. My gut feeling is that it would probably have some impact, but I think it would be very small. Since either a short sight radius or a long sight radius are zeroed to the same point initially, you're...

I'll measure a few mags and post the average tonight.

Nice work there- is there enough room to get a larger end mill into the groove? If a 1/2" diameter cutter would fit, I would expect it to last a lot longer. And on that note, I'm not really sure that cutting away some of the material off the outside of the bolt would make any difference in...

I knew you were the ATF spy all along.

Not bragging here, but I did get a used G17 at the auction in Macon for sub $300. I don't recall exactly how much it was- I want to say about $270 plus the 10% auction fee. Anyway, keep an eye out and you can find them cheap.

Personally, I don't see an AR9 as a 100 yard shooter, so I think I'd have to go with the .300BLK. But it's like Lego's- easy to change parts and swap things around. I've got ARs with Geissele triggers... but there's not one in my 9mm AR pistol. But that's because I'm not a rich person by any...
