Three words for you. Dremel. Tool. Obrez.

I cant for the life of me remember which upper gave me the most issue, but one it was a really, really tight fit. Maybe the CMT set? In any case once I decided I wasn't going to hurt the upper one way or another, and was resigned to replacing the sight, I muscled it on there. It was tight though, I could probably pick up the rifle by the rear sight unpinned kinda tight. Maybe try a little light lube? Or 2-3 beers and a small triangle file.

I don't see an issue as long as they plan on having a frog bake, or boil, or whatever. If the meat is getting eaten, no harm done IMO. I'm sure worst case scenario there would be umpteen homeless shelters happy to get the meat. Hobo's dining on frog legs and goose liver, now there's an image.

So with the new software I've noticed that some threads have what look like star ratings at the top on them. Why does some does, and some doesn't, and how do I contribute my stars when I feel it is appropriate?

Did you try sliding it on from the charging handle side of the receiver? I had that problem with an upper once and it went on fine from the CH side, but not the 'muzzle' side. Worth trying. I want a .50 AR. 5.56 for when you need to take on a truck load of guys, .50 for when you need to take on the truck itself...

Not only have I not experienced any issues with the automatch, it is my .22LR of choice. I think they shoot very accurately and can count the problem rounds on both hands and feet, not bad considering the thousands of them I've sent downrange. I don't have any Smith rimfires though, that would be hugely disappointing for me to hear that if I did. I still wouldn't send them back, just use them in the Rugers.

I've also been impressed with every vortex optic I've used, though I have only used their red dots. I also like the recommendation for a 1-4. I have a 1-4 illuminated Bushnell AR scope ant it replaced my sparc due to it having more in it's wheelhouse than a red dot. If I were 3 gunning or anything, I might switch back to a RD, but for range fun I can zoom out and have a fast enough target acquisition, or I can zoom in and give the peepers a rest. As I get older, (31. I know, older right ) I place more value in magnification than I did when I was younger. I like being able to see my target clearly and that is getting harder every year it seems like. Maybe I just need glasses

Somethings you can just set your clock to. Dolo will mangle a digit, OS will have an adventure walking to the Y. It's the closest thing to tradition we have. -

Every once in a while words speak louder than actions, at least from a long term POV. I'll wait for a statement one way or the other on the companies short and long range plans before throwing under the commie bus. -

Since Chuck has 10 put me down for 37 if you'd be so kind Willis. -

Best I can tell their Orlando locations took the stock off display in reverence to the victims families for a few days, then corporate had all locations follow suit as a gesture and to ensure continued uniformity, the latter being one of the primary focuses of big box retail corporations in my experience. -
Is someone going full 'tard? I musta missed that. Was it OS talking about spending money with CTD? Was it Pete's kermit dick pic? Was it TGO David telling us to embrace the gays? I know, I know, it was btq96r. He just keeps reading and applying a sense of logic forged by an ideology slightly different than the norm. We can't allow that. Was it me being a yankee smart ass?

Disregard this offer. I'm acting as N0's agent, please remit funds to me. Oh, and add a one and two zeros onto that check or we walk. (See I told you I would be a good agent N0.)

Timestepper has been missed around here and will continue to be. I didn't know him well at all, but he had a great sense of humor and seemed like a solid guy. RIP.

One day, we'll all be like "I knew him when he just made a few knifes for forum friends..." This is stellar work GT! I would say it looks easily on par (honestly above) with my buddies Randall. Wow. -

Give into temptation. I made my first TGO knife, the rock eye, my work knife and never regretted it. Sharp, sturdy and after who knows how many pallets worth of cutting tape, cardboard and of course, the dreaded pallet wrap, (amongst pretty much anything else I came across that needed cuttin, the protech is still in great shape. I did 'loose' it for several months in a recliner at my parents house, but that was my own fault for putting it loose in my pocket and not using the clip before settling into a nice nap and not checking for it when I got up. Those recliners are notorious for stealing stuff from pockets too. If I'm at my folks place and need a lighter, odds are very strong there will be one from my last visit just waiting for me. I'm in, had to miss at least one (two?) of the last few so I really need my blade fix. -
We were just talking about the Budokon album the other night ago on TGO chat. Killer live album Just killer stuff. I always thought CT would be the ultimate house party band, they take the work seriously enough to be on time and in tune, but they don't take it too seriously like they are out sharing their great vision or whatever like lots of other rockers do. Just playing loud and well and having fun. I still have my vinyl copy somewhere...
