  I sent my lower to Orion Arms in Minnesota for a front magwell engraving.  Got it back in less than 7 business days and I'm please with the reasonable cost and how it turned out.  Engraving is much more shallow than I expected and I might need to do a Aluminum Black touchup, but I'm very pleased overall.

congrats, now get to shopping :)   i decided to go the money order route instead of a trust bank account

'have it your way' at Burger King sure doesnt' mean what it used to......   Sorry for all the trouble man.  You should remind them about those like yourself who sacrifice so much so they can breathe this free air of these United States.

only a 9? :)

WOW, i had no idea.   just read the thread above, scary stuff for trusts.

congrats on the recent and upcoming purchase!   while you'll illicit many opinions..............you probably can't go wrong with the integrity of any of the lower parts from any of those companies, sans the trigger.  of the three you'd mention, if you want a ranking, i'd go:   1 BCM 2 Spikes 3 PSA

Friend of mine said it was smaller than he anticipated

  Joint Force Enterprises in Florida.  here is my review left on their facebook page   My rating would be more a 3.5 than a 3. I sent my stripped components in just before Christmas 2013 and received them back on March 20, 2014; a much longer wait than was communicated initially. I was informed that some personnel changes and severe backlog had developed due to the holiday season as well as Shot Show 2014, so that did explain a bit of the delay. The work done, a water transfer imaging of ODG Lupus was fantastic, I'll not deny it. However, it is more of what I didn't receive that is the reason for my rating. I did not receive timely, proactive communication, a shipping tracking number nor some of the small parts (bolt catch screw, upper tension screw, forward assist, Geissele rail hex nut and Geissele rail anti-rotational screws) that were sent/attached with my components for coating.  I did not contact JFE about these missing parts because I honestly did not think it would yield anything, given that I wasn't able to get my previous phone calls returned and I was able to secure the missing parts without too much trouble. In an honest summary, great work on the coating....the quality is terrific. But from a customer experience, much was amiss.

sent stripped components off for a hydro dip.  seems very durable thus-far.......used it in a carbine class.     wouldn't recommend the company based on my experience, even though their work was top notch.

I think old man Potterfield got his act together

any more experiences with Middle TN engravers?  i'm in need of getting my lower engraved soon, Form 1 isn't approved yet.   for FFL holders like Orion and Ident, can they legally have possession of a ATF Approved Form 1 SBR?     part of me thinks i should head east and meet with Mike in Oak Ridge.

Ex-Titan Rob Bironas killed in crash Posted: Sep 21, 2014 3:51 AM CDT Updated: Sep 21, 2014 6:04 AM CDT Posted by Maurice Miller - email NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Former Titans kicker Rob Bironas was pronounced dead at Vanderbilt Hospital after a late night crash in Nashville. The 36-year-old was driving on Battery Lane when he lost control of his SUV, hit several trees and careened into a ravine. The vehicle was upside down when Metro police arrived, according to spokesman Don Aaron. Aaron tells Channel 4 News that Bironas was traveling at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred. Investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors. Bironas married Rachel Bradshaw, the daughter of NFL hall of famer Terry Bradshaw, in June. A Metro police chaplain spoke with her shortly after the crash, according to Aaron. Bironas spent nine years with the Titans, setting several NFL records along the way. He was released from the team in March but continued to call the Nashville-area home. The Titans could not immediately be reached for comment.

David,   I can't imagine that.  I was looking at my dog last night, seeing her fur color change from gold to white and wondering if she knows how much she means to our family.   An irreplaceable part of the family, when lost, is devastating.  I wish you and yours the best right now, remembering the loyalty and companionship that you enjoyed; a treasure indeed.   Clay

interesting.  i'll have to look at mine to compare......haven't had any issues with it and i've owned it for 3 years

Ruger 22/45 with a Tactical Solutions threaded barrel

the deal is done.  shot it today at GnL (big thanks to Robert for guiding me through the process/paperwork).     never thought a 'pew' could be so fun :)

That's the reason I'm getting a Sparrow this weekend.

  leading off with a joke, this should be good ;)

I'm thinking of taking my wife there and renting a cabin in the fall for a weekend.   Does anyone have any recommendations on activities or to-do's while staying there?  TN has a great selection of state parks, so I was curious if DHL was worth going to.  We went out to Fall Creek Falls last October and enjoyed that.   Thanks!
