Thanks to McALLYN it took all of 5 minutes. Made it a breeze and I didn't break my lite pipe! Thanks Bill!

Glad that opinion is rooted in fact ...oops. The facts disagree with you. I will say the problem wag not so much the teachers or principal in this case but the stupid policy that bound them. The principal told us it wasn't a big deal, but that it was the policy so they had to deal with it in this manner. For the most part the teachers and principals aren't the problem, its the school boards and politicians that make asinine policies from their ivory towers. Biggest problem i see is the schools no longer prepare kids for the workforce our how to think. The "well rounded" education philosophy is a liberal philosophy of exposure that came out of the 70's. It abandoned a "solid core" philosophy where specific "advanced" courses were left for college level. The data, facts, testing, and current work force says it had been a miserable failure.

Yep. Outside a couple of these aggravating instances they go to a real good public Montessori school. It only goes through the 4th grade and then they are home. Just got our oldest squared away for home school.

Sad thing is he's now afraid to draw his super hero pictures because he thinks he'll get suspended. One of his other friends got sent to the office for pretending he had a light saber. He said, "Dad, its just silly. Don't they know that boys like to pretend they have swords and guns. Girls don't like them but we do." Trying to fundamentally change our boys to girls and our rights to wrongs.

Evidently my 2nd grade son had to sit in the principals office this morning for making "terrorist threats". His threat? Evidently, he told one of his friends that when he gets his own gun he wanted them to go shooting together. However, the report simply states he was sent to the office for making "terrorist threats". So now he will forever have a record that he threatened someone. Really getting to the end of my rope. I signed the note and the started my objection of 1-convicting my son of criminal activity without a mention of his objection or clarification and 2-vilifying my son for something that in our family is normal and a family topic and activity. I also added several statements about first and second amendment rights the constitution and the role of teachers, police, and parents. I wasn't happy! :-P

I think we're missing something?

Keep in mind the tax season got pushed back a month so we haven't seen the refund checks start hitting. I think we will have another little build before it settles for the long haul. This is just the lull before the 2nd storm. Of course there isn't much out there but it will drag it out a bit longer.

Wait till they get their way with the death panels. It won't just be the unwanted babies it'll be the unwanted sick, elderly, and handicapped. Ah, perfection! :shake:

The Krebs is nice but sits considerably higher and cost a lot. The Parabellum tends to have zero issues if you put an optic larger than the Vortex/T1. Anything else that looks similar isn't in the same ballpark when it comes to repeatable zero, proper check weld, and ease of fields stripping.

That would be awesome. Thanks.

M&P Spot hands down as long as it's under 1k. Melonite treatment, lifetime warranty, ..... the list goes on but it is far better than the others. The Carbon15 and the ATI I wouldn't buy unless they were under $600.

Talk to the ATF guy in your area. They will tell you what they want you to do to comply with regulations, zoning, etc. and since they are the ones that will be enforcing those regulations you can't get a better source of info.

Anyone have a sight pusher for an M&P I can borrow or rent? I would tap them but I'm putting a Hi-Viz FO front sight in and there isn't a lot to tap without breaking the lite pipe or mount. BTW - I'm in Nashville

Haha Chad! (I was formerly known as AK Guy) I can help with stuff already riverted but welding and riverting I don't get into. Would like to but haven;t invested in the tools. I don't know anyone in Nashville that can build an AK (buisness wise). Troy Sellers at In Range C2 is not too far away, is reasonable, and does excellent work. http://www.inrangec2.com/

With a t1 you can get a lower 1/3 co-witness with the tws. ;) i added an adm qd to my sparc so i can get it of pretty easily. As far as accuracy, the shorter barrel actually stiffens up more than a longer barrel so accuracy is better at all ranges for me. At 50 to 75yrds i can easily run through clay pigeons with decent speed. I'm not a great shoot so this was a very pleasant surprise for me. I'll add that what makes the TWS so great is that it fixes two of three biggest flaws of the AK compared to other rifles. 1- sight radius and 2- cheek weld. I've tried all the other options and i can't reiterate how much better i like these.

Also check out In Range C2 In Kodak, TN. Troy does awesome work and is reasonably priced. http://www.inrangec2.com/

That and screw builds look awful and your guns value goes to next to nothing. :o There are several places that sell adapters for bolt cutters that allow you to rivet pretty easily. There are also jigs you can buy.

I REALLY like the TWS Dogleg. I've run them on several different guns and helped other guys put them on theirs and they all love them. Plus with the peep sight you get a longer sight radius than an AR and a proper ckeek weld. The Top cover is removable and repeats zero. Not a fan of the Parabellum mount. heard bad things on those. The only other viable option is the ultimak. The Ultimak is the lowest out there but it puts all the eight out front. People who have them love them. http://texasweaponsystems.com/ Here's my Draco with the TWS and a Vortex Sparc (similar to the T1)

You can if you have the longer trigger linkage and trigger. The trigger pins will be a little bit of a pain to figure out but not really a big deal. If you need a trigger or linkage i have several takeouts laying around.

I said chew, I don't know for sure about burn. From what I've read they have a steel jacket instead of a copper jacket and that is much harder on the barrel. Also while they will only "light" after leaving the barrel they are burning through the first layer and that leaves extra residue in the barrel and gas system. Phosphorous and magnesium burn extremely hot and that is what makes these things light up.   Not saying don't get them, just be aware that there are virtually no places that will let you shoot them and if you are on private property you better have a way of putting out fires. I don't think they will damage your gun per-se but they definitely aren't a good for it.

Those are tracers and will chew your barrel up. One bullet per mag not such a big deal but be careful. Can't shoot them indoors and they will set fires if you aren't very careful outdoors.

Have you been there? It's like Buds without the internet. I don't know what it is about KY; Whittakers, Buds, Centerfire, ....

I'd have to disagree. Ruger is number one in handguns and they have virtually no le/mil presence. Actually there are quite a few of the top handgun manufacturers that have hardly any le/mil presence like kel-tec. Manufactures want le/mil contacts for marketing on the civilian level. What they do like about le/mil contacts is the guaranteed product numbers that allow them to produce in volume which helps their civilian numbers.

It evidently doesn't take into account genocide or war. I would be curious to see exactly how they define murder. Some of those with low numbers are in active genocide and war areas. Somethings off.

I should add that considering the area about the only places you could actually foot patrol are at the local football games. This is the kind of town where if you DON"T have a gun in the gun rack of your truck they will question your Americaness. Of course you're girlfriend/wife needs to be sitting in the middle of the bench seat next to you as well.   Man I miss that area! Great people and a great place to live. There is no story here. Paragould is about the last place on earth that needs help from the commies. Great place!   I will add that there is a pretty serious meth problem in that area, but that is mostly the hillbillies. Ironically the older folks tend to be the addicts as opposed to the kids.
