Just got back from D&T Arms. Got my MEGA MATEN upper and lower set ordered. Anyone looking to build a MEGA MATEN, you should get ahold of D&T to order it for you since their pricing is good on it. Now for the 4 month wait!

Ordering my MEGA MATEN upper and lower set from D&T today. They're back ordered, so estimated delivery is 4 months out. That won't matter to me because it'll probably take me that long to learn all I need to know and source the parts. Do you guys think a Krieger barrel with JP compensator will shoot any tighter than the DPMS SASS barrel?

Welcome!

Love it! I'm ordering the Mega Maten upper & lower on the 30th. Who makes a good tack driving barrel?

Your new name is now Lucky and I'm jealous! Congrats. I never win ####!

[quote name='Westwindmike' timestamp='1353855972' post='850412'] No wonder the Rutherford county deer are so spooked with that thing going off in the middle of hunting season. [/quote] This shoot was in Erin, TN. But I don't mind firing it in Manchester and Ashland city as well.

Repeat process, but this time, hide close to the car and wait!

So we had Thanksgiving dinner and then broke out the 50 BMG for some family fun..... Me of course...

One shot group was so tight (bottom left two) I started moving my aim further apart trying to cut that tree down. Too bad it started getting dark and we had to stop.

I posted a while back about the idiots at that range. So this happening doesn't surprise me at all. The were 3 teenage boys there the day I went that after we called cold, they kept firing on the pistol range when folks were fixing to go down range to change targets. Had asshats shooting across the range from the pistol range toward the left side berm. Then another asshat shows up with an AK47 loads up a mag and doesn't even put up a target. He then proceeded to fire it like Rambo across all our 100 yard targets. I've stopped going up there because of all that idiotic crap. I either shoot at my uncles places or Terry's now.

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to either build my own, or buy one outright and mod it. I was considering the new ArmaLite AR10A rifles since they're updated to accept MAGPUL 20rd magazines. http://www.armalite.com/Categories.aspx?Category=594408c2-b03e-4c8b-8713-83959df8252d or the Colt http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/ColtRifles/ColtLE90116S.aspx How much is your budget for the 308 build minus scope, scope mount, sights, bi-pod, mono-pod, and flashlights (minus tacti-cool stuff)?

Bill Advances to Stop EPA from Regulating Your Ammunition--Contact Your U.S. Senators in Support of S. 3525, the "Sportsmen's Act of 2012" http://www.nraila.org/legislation/federal-legislation/2012/bill-advances-to-stop-epa-from-regulating-your-ammunition-contact-your-us-senators-in-support-of-s-3525,-the-sportsmen's-act-of-2012.aspx

One from the range this past Friday sighting in the SWFA SS 20x42 MRAD. I wanted to post it just because you could see some fire come out of the muzzle brake. lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZhNXPu7v4 (Sorry I didn't get ahold of anyone to come shoot, but figured since I went on Friday to Terry's at about 11am, all of you would be at work still).

Few more shooting at another uncles in Erin, TN. We had a paper target up on the hill and that last 2 shots before it was shredded and gone, so we started shooting at the log. I was still sighting in as I ran out of time Friday to do it with the new scope, so it was hitting a little off. I got it zeroed almost dead on before I left, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmpXY9UynxQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLJa5W02v50

[quote name='Tempest455' timestamp='1353016529' post='846192'] 10-20 years ago I would have jumped on this. Track rentals are fun! Yolu get to make a lot of runs. However, spent too much money on parts and motors over the years. I'd rather other other people blow stuff up! [/quote] It's not that bad nowadays. Stock engines and blocks hold up to good power levels, so bolt ons on a 400+hp V8 get you running decet ET now. Bolt on a turbo or supercharger kit and you'll be rocking!

I posted the question over there to see. I'll let you know.

[quote name='Ratfink' timestamp='1353017392' post='846199'] Do you allow bikes in this. I'm running 5.63 in the 8th. [/quote] Get in touch wit him, but I don't see why they won't. If you don't have another bike to race, they'll probably just let you do your runs solo.

[quote name='mcurrier' timestamp='1353011931' post='846153'] Is that on the 11th (last Sunday), or on the 18th (this coming Sunday - 3 days from now) ? [/quote] Sorry, the 18 this sunday... was in a hurry

Some folks are hoping to get enough cars to afford a track rental at Music City Raceway (aka Union Hill, 1/8 mile) on Sunday the 18th. If any of you are in to drag racing, contact him here: http://streetntrack.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=304&p=1727#p1727 and if you know anyone else who'd want to go, let them know, too.

Senate to vote on the Federal Land Seizure Act on Thursday Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) -- who is “F” rated by Gun Owners of America -- is pushing a “hunting” bill that authorizes the Obama administration almost unlimited power to seize private lands for “environmental” purposes. Anti-gun Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled Tester’s bill for a vote, and it will probably take place on Thursday. http://capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=62148536 ACTION: It is imperative that gun owners contact their Senators and ask them to OPPOSE S. 3525. Click here to tell them that the modest conservation gains allowed in the bill are totally offset by giving unelected bureaucrats the authority to steal land from hunters and private property owners. BACKGROUND (1) When the “wetlands” provisions of the Clean Water Act were originally enacted, no one could have foreseen that a landowner would go to prison for applying clean dirt to a junkyard adjacent to a sewer, which was determined to be “wetlands.” But environmentalists have been brilliant in taking seemingly innocuous programs and massively expanding them through fraudulent interpretations or tiny loopholes. (2) S. 3525 has “sweeteners.” It allows archery bows to be transported through national parks under very limited circumstances, although Obama could do this by administrative fiat. It also allows, but does not mandate, Pittman-Robertson funds to be used for target ranges. But none of these small discretionary provisions offset the potential damage this does to the rights of individual landowners. (3) THE ISSUE OF LOST OPPORTUNITY: If this is the Democrats’ sop to gun owners, it may make it a lot more difficult to secure national concealed carry reciprocity or to stop anti-gun measures and treaties. THE CENTRAL PROBLEM WITH S. 3525 The central problem with the bill is that it allows seizure of private lands for “aquatic habitats” [Sections 201(8) and 204 (d) (2)]. The definition of this term is limitless and includes seizure of lands in order to “protec[t] the quality and quantity of water sources” and to “serv[e] as a buffer protecting the aquatic environment.” [Section 201 (2)] Thus, a factory that “pollutes” can be seized to protect an “aquatic habitat.” The only real limit on seizure in Section 204 is the requirement that the government manage the seized property “in accordance with the purposes of this subtitle.” WHO ARE THE DECISION MAKERS? The National Fish Habitat Board consists of 27 members. The initial members (Obama appointees) select the remaining members. Thus while the “commercial fishing industry” supposedly has a representative, you can bet that that fisherman is an Obama-supporter and will support his agenda. The board then enters into “partnerships” with, inter alia, outside groups. And you can bet that every liberal environmental organization in the country will now be feeding at this pig sty. The outside groups recommend fish habitat programs and plans for seizing private lands. Bottom line: This will give immense powers to unelected bureaucrats -- a clear violation of the Separation of Powers which our Founders implemented as a way of protecting our rights. WHAT ABOUT SECTION 211 (e) (2)? This supposedly requires the consent of landowners prior to having their lands seized. But, note the sneaky loophole: Section 211 (e) (2) applies only to property that is being seized with federal funds and, under Section 204 (e), half the funds need to come from non-federal sources. So while this section is put forward as a “protection,” it actually doesn’t provide total immunity because the government can take a land owner’s property using non-federal funds -- and there is no protection in the bill against that. http://capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=62148536
