  1. No worries, folks. I alone make up at least half of that 30.1. That figure is a bit deceiving.
  2. Very true. I recently did this with the XDM. I just had to have that damn thing, but after actually toying with it for a while, I couldn't stand the thing.
  3. Did you sell the one you have/had in shop? I figured it would go very fast.
  4. Now I feel bad. You were kind enough to let me shoot your rifles, and I left you to clean them by yourself. I already have most of the cleaning and lubrication stuff. I use most of the same products for pistols. I will have to get a one piece cleaning rod. As far as oil goes, I'm a real fan of Militec-1 Synthetic Metal Conditioner. Being a dry impregnated lube, the first initial applications can be somewhat of a pain, but it really helps against so much residue build-up, which tends to make cleaning so much easier. You can use a hair dryer or heat gun to activate the Militec, but I usually apply the Militec to all parts, including the bore, then fire a magazine or two. This gets the everythig up to operating temps., which activates the Militec. I repeat this process 2 or 3 times. Now everything is self-lubricating. I generally repeat the process every 1500-2000 rounds.
  5. You can use a Bullet Puller ( http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?t=82579&pageNum=0&tabId=1&categoryId=19947&categoryString=9315***731***8606 ), or take them to your local gunsmith. They will rid them for you.
  6. I know little about anything other than Comcast, but I heard Dish Network is better than Direct TV, because Dish Network has customer service reps. who actually speak the English language. That's a huge plus in my book.
  7. And yea, I guess I need to learn how to clean them if I'm gonna shoot them.
  8. Hey, that's an idea! I've always wanted to see what the world of 'swingers' was all about.
  9. Thanks! Yea, there were a few times that I needed to stop and think about it, but using the step-by-step instructions/pictures on AR15.com, it was much easier than I thought it would be. I'm still going to let an experienced ARer take a look at it before I start shooting. I'm pretty confident that everything is together as it should be, but I'd like for someone to take a look at the trigger group, just to make sure it's 100%.
  10. Thanks to so many of you for all your help. I'm half way there. My finished lower half. Sorry for the crappy pictures, but I decided to spend money on guns instead of cameras.
  11. That was quite funny. Thanks!
  12. Well, except ACE didn't give me the top screw that holds the butt pad in place.
  13. Yep! It was much much easier than I thought it would be.
  14. Nevermind. I used the wrong (too small) detent. I fixed it.
  15. Thank you. That's what I thought/did, but wanted to make sure. I wasn't 100% sure, because there seems to be a bit of play in the selector, especially when in the "fire" position. Not having much experience, I would have thought it would be a bit tighter. Actually, there seems to be just as much play in the "safe" position.
  16. when installing the safety selector detent, does he pointy end point towards the safety selector or the spring?
  17. Thanks to TPS -TNRobocop, I now have all the needed parts to finish the lower half of this damn thing. Wish me luck, cause here goes nothing.
  18. I suggest everyone get a few duplicate HCP's, for reasons such as this. You can get as many as you'd like. I keep one stashed in both vehicles and work truck. To receive a duplicate handgun carry permit: You will need to complete an application. To receive an application by mail call toll-free 1-866-849-3548. Complete and sign your application. Mail the application, CERTIFIED PROOF of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Residency (no photocopies; documents will NOT be returned) and the $5.00 fee payable by check or money order to the following address: Tennessee Department of Safety Handgun Permit Office 1150 Foster Ave. Nashville, TN 37243-1000 You may also get your duplicate application at any driver license service center. The driver license service center cannot issue the duplicate handgun carry permit. Incomplete applications cannot be processed.
  19. That would be the best thing to ever happen to gun shows in this area. I'm looking forward to that.
  20. No, I got to the Pilot for my Lot Lizard shopping. With all the crack houses being right around the corner, there tends to be more of a selection. Not only that, but the toothless "ladies of the night" tend to hang out at the Pilot.
  21. I would have to agree. I have the XD40, and although I mainly stick with WWB, I have NEVER had a single issue, with any ammo. It's been flawless.
  22. You know you want that LCP. Just buy it.
  23. WOW! All the fat jokes. Now I know better than to show up at one of these TGO meets.
  24. 100% But that's only because it was somewhat fresh in my mind from the lst time this subject was posted. I missed 2 the first time.
  25. So you (or the person on the other end) don't feel like the audio quality sounds a bit computerized? It sounds natural? I think I'm gonna try it out.
