Received my trigger today for what I think is my complete build list (minus scope). This will be my first and probably only AR10 so I hope it turns out as good as I think it should. More to come!

Ok so i set up the chrono. this morning and broke out the handi rifle, the 700gr. was a pussycat out of the 18" barrel i could shoot it all day long. it measured in at 1302 fps with 3635 ftlbs. of energy. The 350gr extreme penatrator was not as tame clocking in at 2227 fps. and 3855 ftlbs. I think the next test will be to hang a bone in pork shoulder and shoot it, but don't worry about it being wasted the last one i shot i smoked right after and it was good. I think food tastes better if you shoot it yourself.

For whatever it's worth, Falkor Defense will no longer sell anything to CA Leo, agents, or any government official.

My greatest, greatest regret in life (so far...) is that I didn't take one single photo of my time in. Between Northern Ireland, Bosnia & Germany, plus all the regular banter & mateship stuff it would've made a great album. I wasn't in for long, but I'm proud of my stint & wish I had some more mementos.

I'm liking the part selection thus far. Cant wait to see it built.

I have to agree with you there. Ha. Well worth the shop hours figuring this thing out. They finally arrived

I recently purchased a Glock 34 MOS, and put a Trijicon RMR on it. I did this because as I'm getting older, my eyes are getting worse, and I wanted to see if putting an optic on a handgun would make it easier for me to shoot quickly and accurately. I first tried a red dot optic way back in the 1990's. I put a Tasco Optima 2000 on an H&K USP 45. This mounted to the slide using the rear sight dovetail, so I effectively had no iron sights. This was only a minor problem during the day, when I could line up the pistol by looking flat across the slide, enabling me to find the red dot. But in dim light or darkness, when it was harder to see the outline of the pistol, I often found myself wiggling the gun in front of me, trying to glimpse the dot so I could line it up with a target. I ended up selling the Tasco on eBay, and going to iron night sights. Almost 20 years later, I've decided to try a pistol optic again. The deciding factors were, as previously mentioned, my older eyes, and Glock offering the MOS system on their latest pistols. I originally planned to go with a Glock 19 MOS, but then decided I'd give the Glock 34 MOS a try, instead. (The Glock 19 MOS is for sale in the Firearms Classified section.) The optic I selected was the Trijicon RMR RM05, a 9MOA green dot sight, illuminated both by a tritium vial, and by ambient light. This model does not require batteries, but the tritium will only be half as bright 12 years from now. I think, but I'm not sure, that Trijicon can replace the vial when it gets dim, but until then ,I shouldn't have to worry about it not working if I need it. When the RMR arrived, I tried to install it. I removed the smooth cover from my Glock 34's slide, and installed the appropriate MOS mounting plate. I then mounted the RMR, inserted the screws, and started to tighten them down. I did this very carefully, because I had noticed that they seemed a bit long...and they were. The screws that Trijicon includes with the RMR ***DO NOT FIT*** the Glock MOS mount. ***DO NOT*** try to force them, or you will destroy your Glock slide. Fortunately, I was able to purchase the proper sized screws at my local Ace Hardware store {6-32 3/8"), so I didn't have to order them and wait. By the way, if you go this route, pick up a bit of Loctite blue, to make sure the mounting screws do not come out. With the sight properly mounted, I went to the range to sight it in. This was an extremely easy process, and I had the dot zeroed in very quickly. Right away, I noticed a big improvement in my group sizes, consistently creating singular ragged holes in the bullseyes of my targets at 7 yards, and much smaller groups than I was used to making at 15 yards. (My hands aren't as steady as they used to be, either.) Although I liked the RMR a lot, I still had the same problem that I had with the Optima 2000 from years ago--without a way to visually index the pistol, finding the dot could be problematic. Even though the Glock MOS system features a slide cutout which seats the optic lower than usual, it still doesn't sit low enough to be able to use the factory sights. The optic's base covers the factory sight picture, making the factory sights absolutely useless while the optic is mounted. So I decided to pick up a set of suppressor sights, which are taller. I decided to go with the XS Systems Big Dot sights, with tritium front and rear. I chose these over the Trijicon brand because (1) The Trijicons were sold out, (2) The Trijicons were $50 more, and (3) Trijicon still makes the tritium lamps for XS. Also, (4), the big white dot on the front sight helps me to find it faster, and finding the front sight faster also helps me to find the green RMR dot faster. I am really quite happy with this setup. Yeah, the cost of the sights was almost as much as the gun itself. But I can shoot better and faster than I did before, so to me, it's worth it. If ever I need it, it will be more than worth it. But even if I don't, this setup makes target shooting a lot more fun. I'm hoping to take it to an outdoor range, soon, to see what I can do with it at even longer ranges. Here's a picture of it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puqe5vcnmjmncj1/2016-06-26 09.33.27.jpg?dl=0 Also, another forum member asked me about "the washout effect." Basically, it happens when you're in a relatively low-light position, and you use the sight to aim at a brightly lit area. The light coming from the target area can overpower the reflected light of your aiming dot. Yeah, it's a thing. But if you've got suppressor sights, you can use them to aim through the optic, so I don't think it's that big a deal. If you use the battery-powered red dot sights, washout is probably less of a problem. I'm thinking of trying a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, next. Here's a short video that I made, to show the washout effect in action. I also tried to get video of the dot in low light, but my camera didn't do too well at that, so there are some still pictures at the end that show the sight picture better. Full disclosure, the final pictures show the sights just a little bit brighter than they appear in real life, but in real life, the sight picture is much better than what is seen in the video. One last thing...It's not easy to take photographs and video of a sight picture, so I knocked up a mount for everything on my workbench today. It's pretty ratched, as the kids say, but it works. I did this for you, RT...you sure you don't want to buy my Glock 19, now? https://www.dropbox.com/s/1m6n0x674pabwlz/2016-07-02 21.04.45.jpg?dl=0

What do you all think about a military pics and comments thread? I think we all would enjoy it. I suspect most of the pics will have guns in them. MacGyver and TGO David, comment if you don't want this and I'll let it die.

Looks like you knew what you were doing. Impressive! That blue looks awesome,, BTW.

I see the heat sink comes in 6 diff colors, cool. Well now your rifle is not "all" black so you might get left alone. I want to see your rifle complete so hurry up and get some pics of it done.

Congrats! Harley's are a hate love relationship. More to come on that, but these days, you have to ride like everyone doesn't mind running you over or off the road. Mot attention to your surroundings. Cars, kids, other riders, deer and the ever popular dogs. Some dogs hate motorcycles like liberals hate freedom. They will startle you when they shoot out in to the street from a bush looking for your ankle. Take it slow, be on the defensive and take a course, read up and watch videos. Learn from others mistakes. Other than that, it is fun! Enjoy the breeze!

Oh. No. No. No. The day you see me touch or look in someone else's mouth is the day my life is in danger and I'm forced to for work. I just do front office, treatment coordinating and collections. Mouths are geeeeroooooossssssssssss! I would for sure stick with the doc over me any day of the week.

That's funny, I just asked David about that very same feature. He said: "Yeah, they changed the friends system to "Followers" so that you can "follow" a person and receive updates on their activity. I'm not convinced that the follower concept translates all that smoothly to a forum as it's rather Facebook-esque. " I asked because I was about to add someone as a friend and couldn't find that feature anymore. It's too bad that feature is gone. I used to use the friends feature to highlight those I had met in person. (well, only if they were indeed friendly...lol).

Primary Arms has the Troy sights on sale for the 4th, $69.99 each for both front & rear. Not cheap, but cheaper than they are normally. http://www.primaryarms.com/troy-rear-folding-battlesight-black/p/ssig-fbs-r0bt-00/ http://www.primaryarms.com/troy-folding-battle-sight-front-m4-style-black/p/ssig-fbs-fmbt-00/ I have also used the plastic Magpul MBUS Gen 2. They work well, but are more bulky. I would expect them to be less durable than the aluminum Troy sights, but I haven't broken them. $85 for the set, also at Primary Arms.

Your advice was spot on! Thank you. I had to take the starter off before I could even see the linkage. With an assortment of wobble joints and extensions, I was able to get it loose. We'll not talk about getting it back together, but your suggestion of using swear words was taken to heart. A boat mechanic will be performing this task next time. Whoever designed that makes a man rethink his views on abortion!

So there actually was one thing that the .gov did not do during the obama administration because it was unconstitutional? Color me shocked

Surprising coming from CNBC.

I took down my Rebel flag (which you can’t buy on EBAY any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off my front window. I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the candy-ass Neighborhood Watch. I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard. Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN buy on EBAY) and ran it up the flag pole. Now the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7. I’ve NEVER felt safer and I’m saving $69.95 a month that ADT used to charge me. Plus, I bought burkas for my wife and I to wear when we shop or travel. Everyone moves out of the way and security can’t pat us down. If they say I'm a male wearing a burka, I just say I'm feeling like a woman today. Hot Damn — Safe at last — Ain’t America great or what?

Both of which will cost you a lot more money than just going to the pd.

I would agree. Go forth and purchase my friend.

Well, after consulting with the dentist in the video above, I'm making a change based on improving patient experience. The patient will be able to choose a pint of whatever top shelf Tequila they want. Also, I will ensure that the patients lip is pulled out of the way so they don't have to do it themselves.

My best one on RCBS was, I bought an older Rockchucker that had the straight green pull handle & while I was on the phone getting a new hopper for my $10 Uniflow I mentioned I would like to have the ball type pull handle for the Rockchucker. Yup got one of those to (just because I waned a different one).

Ain't much, but it's all I've got handy right now. My wife really likes this one.

It won't. You will never hear from that bill again. Just my opinion.

Call Nebraska where she was arrested and ask. No need to run a background.

In my eyes not too much has changed. It says all trustees must do a background but we can add and take away trustees any time we want. Remove all trustees but yourself when you submit and add the trustees back when you get your item approved. They cannot dictate who are trustees or when they became trustees. It is still easier for your family to deal with items in a trust than dealing with items in your name. With a trust they just come and get the items. As an individual they must submit a Form 5 and go through the exact same background as you did. The time frame is still going to be long and because you have to do a background check either way why not make it easy on your heirs.

FWIW....I've had great luck with my Sigs. Several 1911s, 226, 229, and a couple 220s. Only had 1 Sig Polymer gun ever, and it was a SigPro in 40 back in the early 2000's. It was perfect. People and products change. That's a hard fact. Not always for the better. But don't give up on the 938. Keep talking with CS till you get a responsive person. As far as the Shield, I love them. Only thing I've noticed is that right out of the box, mine had several FTF and FTE issues with 115 grain rounds. It was suggested I use some 124 for a breakin period. That cured my problems with them. I found I liked the 124 more than the 115 and have continued to use them.

everyone's worried about zombies and such. I'm getting ready for the return of the dinos. but the real reason I got them is for the Alaskan Grizzlys.

thats the best donation i have ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's just me, but when I see a tennis racket bag, I think GUN, unless the guy dresses the part and drives a BMW/Infinity/Volvo. If you're wearing boots, overweight, or wearing a Carhartt jacket.... well, it's not fooling me.

cool, now you need a BF

Old trigger holes from how it was imported are tig'd and cleaned up the mag block caused me to redo my right side sear hole so had it tig'd back up, cleaned up and redrilled Sure, I like to be creative. What's left of an AK sear I used to make the new sear for this thing. Biggest pain in the ass was the mag block. Holy crap batman... Close to 6 hours modifying it over and over again. Finally all cleaned up, mag block welded back in. No more rivets holding it in the receiver. The new trigger guard isn't here yet, along with the new stock. So I threw the old stock on and placed a grip next to it. Hoping they come tomorrow.

Well, maybe:
