"It happens" she says.....

My wife has been asking for a pipe for years to smoke with me on the boat because I always smoke a cigar out there and she loves the smell. So I finally caved and got her one for Christmas. This is us enjoying her new pipe and a good cigar the day we opened presents.

Haha yeah, there is no way Id be outside in a T-shirt. I was just being a wise arse. I had on a soft coat/outer shell today, and a t-shirt underneath. But I was never outside more than just walking to and from the truck to home depot and the indoor range.    It was like -50 in MN the last couple days. My family and friends are still up there (that is where I am from) and there is no way I'd ever move back there. My wife is from CT and I moved her to MN for a couple years and she pretty much said she hated me for that because it was so cold, so I told her we could move south to a warmer climate and we chose here. So, yes, I am a yankee bringing cold weather. I was just trying to be a wisenheimer saying we didn't bring that much cold because us yankees are so used to this kind of weather we still think its kinda warm :)

Wow...

I hear the wambulance.... I'm still in a t-shirt.

Seems like a lot of work for a little amount of gain.

That's already being used to deny veterans from purchasing fire arms. They are getting letters saying they are not allowed to own weapons anymore because of meds or health issues they are on or have.

Shoulda been with us today mark. Think I made Darren drewl a little...

Very nice. Can't beat a good roller lock gun

Think she walked funny?

You do the same. I have another can in as of last month. But it's not worth mentioning yet. And I have 2 lowers that are signed off on and all packaged up and ready to mail.

This was requested as a picture thread for Mega Machine Shop owners out there. Lets see what everyones running for their Mega builds. Hopefully we get a lot of MATENS! Here are my builds, and my rare MATEN with monolithic upper! [url=http://s95.photobucket.com/user/eat7thirdythree/media/image_zps07c4b186.jpg.html][/URL] Super crappy blackberry picture. But that's a Mega nickel boron billet receiver set. took 7 months just to get it from them. I was assembling it there and got excited so I took a picture quick. The rail needed to be installed (modified to fit) before I could finish it.

Well, I called this morning to check on my two cans.   June 21st It was mailed: July 25th pending   July 5th it was mailed: Aug 19th pending   Lady said it was 9 months from pending date on the phone. LAMMMEEEEEEEEE. But, we'll see about that as well….. My last one took 5 months and 16 days. I'm already over that, but who knows, maybe I'll get them this month or next…. lets hope...

Gentlemen, I apologize but I don't have the video on my computer. My buddy from first platoon posted it to his facebook and I figured we shared all our files when we got back to Italy, but I apparently never got that one. It was a good video of 1st in Che-Chal as well…. Sorry gents!   If you want me to post other pics though I'm more than happy to.

Haha, you have just as many Mega's as me! When I get on my computer tomorrow I'll start one. I have to get on there and look for a video for the lone survivor thread anyways.

Nice group photo! Just got an AIM surplus NiB BCG.... Means I have to build another gun... Haha. Guess what company I'll be going with for the receivers? Haha

Plated also are 100% covered. They don't expose the bottom.

Sorry to say but lots of people have had them for $18.99 in stock. DSG arms being one of them.

I've heard the cabelas series is a good, affordable scope for that application.

Bet that's over exaggerated. Mine was literally a week.

I sent a form 4 in a couple weeks ago and it was cashed in a week

Nice! I want one for Xmas :)

Nice!

Just saw that post as well from them! Honestly, I think I'm going to enjoy this new AI more than anything for quite some time :)

Ok, when I get home from CT (at the in laws for the holidays) I'll get the video off my laptop and post it. I only have my iPad with me here.
