  1. While I can't stand FB every now and then here is a gem. Came across this and thought it was great.   http://youtu.be/BIMEbKJC0Tc
  2. Yeah, that was hard to beat. BTW - that code applies to everything, evidently
  3. I've ordered a LOT from them and it ships fast, accurate, and I've never had an issue.  Every store can have a moment, but I've never heard of PA having any issues. I'd be willing to bet that the USPS lost it or shipped it somewhere else. I'm currently experiencing that issue and have had similar issues with the USPS. Not sure why their tracking info is not updated in real time to a central unit, but it is about the most behind, inaccurate system I've ever seen. I've had packages show up at the door before the tracking number even showed any info.
  4. I rally life the Spindrift!
  5. Novemeber 24th and it shipped on December 2nd. It was bit slow, but it is also a busy time of year. So all in all I was happy. 
  6. Well, I got my Ares in today and it is nice.

    New AR308!

    No doubt I will. Your work is excellent! I just want to let it fully cure before I run it. I think this coating will be very helpful as I'm told AR308's need to fun VERY wet to be reliable. I definitely think this will help.
  8. Like I said earlier, I don't ever recall having the "problem" of too much eye relief! :) I'm running mine on an Areo M5 308 so I don't have an issue with being back on the stock on this one.
  9. I'm so torn between absolute delight and disgust I don't know what to think. Great idea if they got the chambering right. I still like the idea of the MGI Hydra system better.
  10. I really like the Troy PDW stocks ... well except for the price. MP5ish and as compact as it gets. That being said I am becoming a big fan of the MFT Minimalist stock. (Taken from another forum)
  11. Evidently you just can't make some people happy. It was a crap shoot and everyone knew it. Crying about it is just silly. What happened online is no different than what happens at any retailer who offers that good of a deal whether online or in person. At least you got to stay in your underwear fighting the crowd at the cyber door, instead of getting trampled in the cold ;-)
  12. They are the epitome of big and blocky, but they handle really well and have one of the best factory triggers I've felt in any gun. Not the best trigger, but a really good trigger, especially when you figure how much it cost.
  13. Seemed to work for a lot of cops and detectives for a loooong time, still does for a lot of people. Better options? Maybe, but do I really need a 4x4 for that rare occasion, or will the 4 cylinder compact do for 99.9% off the driving most people do. Me thinks some people over think.
  14. I have one on my 308 and it is a great piece of glass at twice that price. Only "negative" is that the eye relief is long. I had to mount it pretty far forward. Never had that "problem"before. Most of the time I was aggravated by the short and finicky eye relief of most scopes I've used.

    New AR308!

    It's an Ergo F93. It was Magpuls prototype of what would become the UBR. Magpul sold the design to Ergo. No storage, but I've never stored anything in any stock if had.
  16. Uh no. .45 is low pressure. It has the same muzzle energy as a 9mm but with lower pressure. You'd more likely get a problem from a 9mm. Of choose that's all mute if you are being sarcastic, which you probably are. [emoji6]
  17. Yeah well, they don't have a problem selling their stuff, even above MSRP on almost all of their product line.

    New AR308!

    The one in the picture is the primary arms 1-6 for the 7.62x39 I had laying around. It now has a Bushnell AR 4.5-18x40 BDC.
  19. That or we'll read about how you tried!

    New AR308!

    It was pretty easy, AR15 easy for the most part and I've put a few of those together. Only issues I had were that the takedown pins were incredibly tight. I had to basically polish the finish off the front pin and hammer it in a few time before it was useable. Works fine now that it's worn a bit.  The barrel was also pretty tight setting it in the receiver but I'd rather it be tighter than looser like some of the AR's I've seen. A little CLP on the extension and it went in with some effort. BCG is a PSA so I'm still a bit uneasy about how that will work, but dry firing and working the action it seems to be GTG. Still waiting on the right gas tube and adjustable gas block before I can shoot it. The Larue APEG grip had to be fit a bit since it was made to fill the gap most receivers leave. Aero accommodated for that gap. I got the 308 version without taking into account Aero's forethought. A standard APEG grip would have been fine.. LOVE the     Biggest issues I've had were getting the right buffer spring/buffer combo and the right gas tube, but that has more to do with learning and info than the receiver.    What issues did you have?
  21. I shall now forever call them shnurgigglies! My youngest son just picked up a beginner Honer in Branson and I will make sure he knows the proper nomenclature. ;)
  22. I almost could recognize you! Triple threat Micheal Duechette: Steel Guitar, Harmonica, and dancing?    In all seriousness that was some fantastic harp playing!
  23. So, I'm about ready to fire up my new AR308 (DPMS) pattern and curious what ammo you guys recommend to dial in the adjustable gas block. I figure a fairly low power load to set the low end? Barrel is 16" DPMS pattern but Armalite carbine gas length (12 1/16"), Kies adjustable gas block. Plan is to fire one round in the mag (gas off) till it functions and locks back the BHO. Then open it just slightly more. Any suggestions?
  24. If it was organgish wood, it is most likely a Mak90. Chu woods is fairly light and has a grain that looks kinda like a cross between bamboo and pine. Blonde or dark brown and it is probably a Bulgarian SLR

    Haha, but looks are only skin deep. Like AK's, this has soul!
