I know you like it but I'd get the refund. I don't think longevity will be the companies claim to fame and you might not be able to get the same deal in the future.

Yeah I started that route but the front sight wouldn't budge with a hammer and punch or gear pullers. I have to find someone with a press and do it right.

So, I got this in a trade and it had the ugly thumbhole stock and hand-guards painted green. Looked Rough. Since then I have threaded the barrel, added a TWS Dog Leg rail w/ Kel-Tec rear peep sight, stripped the paint off the hand-guards and refinished them in several coats of orange shellac. Ordered an Ironwoods stock back in July and just got it this last week. It is beautiful! Finished the stock in several coats of orange shellac and am pretty happy with how it turned out. Contemplating getting the IWD hand-guards to match better but I like the darker shade of the Chu wood. Only real difference is the Chu wood is more porous and has more imperfections ( for cheap wood, I kinda like it) than the solid birch of the IWD. Either way this is a sweet gun. Now that I have the stock I can finally get out and run some rounds through it.

So glad your happy with the pup. BTW they all have homes and every report is they are all doing very well. Kinda miss having them around though. ;-)

Gotta read them all. Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30] Haha, you are correct. Didn't read the whole question.

Bad info on my part. Reading comprehension issue. ;)

That is sweet. I'm really toying with the idea of a x54r with an Iron Woods Design Draganov setup.

NO WAY, I'm laying my head on the top cover to shoot but that bullpup is SWEET!

Any suggestions for firing kvar polymer stock to mak90
Smith replied to a topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Dremel that thing. The rear trunion on a mak90 is also a little different. The underside of the top of the trunion is a little lower. As to the tang, just enlarge it and then drill a small pilot hole for the screw. They are very course so it doesn't have to be fancy. -
That would make a little more sense. If there were a leak in the nearby propane tank and the small "pop" was the ignition of the leak and the larger explosion was the propane tank itself, that would explain everything.

Guidelines Regarding Law Enforcement Threads on TGO
Smith replied to MacGyver's topic in General Chat
This warning comes up about once or twice a year and has since the beginning. It will cool down for awhile then when enough new people join up that missed the last cycle the mods or David (as it used to be) will send out another reminder. It truly isn't a new thing or a personally directed thing. Eh, there are just as many guys that defend them as bash them ... if not more. Cops have thicker skin than that, I hope. Heck, I see as much God bashing as cop bashing but believers haven't left. Cops like other folks may just not post like they used too. I used to post like crazy. Especially if it was something I was passionate about. I was even ahead of some of those super poster guys, but found it better to leave somethings alone for my own sanity. ;) -
Went and shot mine today. Love it. I will say of the three FS 9mm's I've had the first one i got had an awesome factory trigger. I don't know what they did to that early one but it was GREAT right out of the box. Felt just like my Apex one now. Second one I got, felt like it was pulling across sandpaper. Just like the negative reviews I had read about. Apex Kit fixed that. My current one had a fairly good trigger out of the box. Felt a bit "squishy" compared to a Glock. It had a better break but no reset. Apex and RAM kits have made it a wonderful trigger.

I could see that but you would still have to have something over-pressurized inside the pot to explode with that kind of force. IMO I'm leaning towards some flammable container getting thrown in. When there is a fire there is always someone who wants to see what will happen to random things if they throw them in the fire.

Gay Liberal Commentator for CNN trashes gun control crowd.
Smith replied to wjh2657's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Kinda ended yours the same way. ;) The libs keep saying it. Just like they keep saying the GOP is alienating Hispanics, blacks, women, the young, and the poor. The only thing being alienated is hard work, personal responsibility, and personal liberty and that is being done by the Dems (mostly). If people vote against their greater principles for a single position, then I attest they are not conservative in nature to begin with. -

Your title is a little odd for a setup, but article is fairly accurate. Reason usually wins out if it can outlast the emotional fervor of the moment. This is why the liberals ( think Obama) don't want budgets, or real solutions. Ass long as there is emotional instability the masses will allow the government more control to easy the fear. Never mind the instability the masses fear is created for that sole purpose. :shake: -
Get the V1. More options and it is AK correct. I just don't like the integrated sights. You are pretty much stuck with them.

Nor really. I think it was more of an internet rumbling. The only problems were with slow moving 147g ammo that some of the competition shooters were having with the slow barrel twist. They did tighten up the barrel lock up and changed the twisty rates. I for a newer barrel just because I could, but I never had any problems. I too added the apex kit and their RAM kit. Love it.

Guidelines Regarding Law Enforcement Threads on TGO
Smith replied to MacGyver's topic in General Chat
While I mostly agree with the intent, I think this is going to be a nightmare to arbitrarily enforce. -
Very Interesting!

Anyone see this proposed legislation yet. Essentially would ban all lowers and receivers unless they are built into guns http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/14/federal-gun-bill-would-ban-ar-15-lower-parts-kits-barrels-and-receivers/

Sam's - donates heavily conservative. Costco - donates heavily liberal. Haha, if that matters to you.
-
... or you can go to the gunsmithing section and there is a great step-by-step write up there with pictures. Shooting that thing with that grip will be awkward. Converting it takes about 30 min. with a Dremel and a hand drill and well worth it.

Who watches TV the old fashioned way for free and not cable ?
Smith replied to tercel89's topic in General Chat
Got rid of cable a couple months ago and run Clear Wireless and Netflix. Couldn't be happier.
