You are correct, I guess I should of been more specific. The proprietary barrel nut is usually included with most free floats, unless you aquire a used one without one so there are many used delta type ones out there. If you don't like the quads I would get this anyway, you can sell the handguard easily enough and I doubt you find one cheaper even with standard hand guards so it would offset the price of a delta ring and barrel nut purchase. But unless its cosmetics of the guards you dont like, they can come in real handy and with the rubber covers they dont dig into your hand at all.

80 year old NC gun registry law repealed
Omega replied to Hershmeister's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I remember; I still have a permit from the early 90s. I use to get another permit as soon as I used one so PCSed with my last one. -
Free float just means the barrel doesn't touch the hand guard; helps accuracy in bolt actions haven't noticed a diff in my AR when I switched. I am sure you can change it out, its a standard AR upper.

TGO David, this one is all you. I apparently joined the pg13 side of TGO.

Any ad block add-ons?

Nice, I like the FDE version. Great price too, brace alone over $100 and cheapest pistol lower, no brace, is $150 at PSA.

All I can compare it to is the birdcage, but yes it is noticeable. With my ARs there is not much kick so not sure of any compensation qualities but I was able to keep the muzzle on target very easily with my 300 the other day.

Looks like the end of a hose, an expensive hose.

I see you have a pattern preference since they almost all have the same look. I use the Simple Threaded Device, cheap but effective: I have this on my 300Blk but also have a 5.56 version which I haven't tried yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&seller=A35WXYX1GOTH29

Its probably due to using the vertical forward grip which can't be used on a pistol unless its over 26.5". I don't use the grip on a pistol so no need to worry about length for me. I have one on my 16" barreled rifle due to where I have the laser mounted, otherwise I would not need it for that one either.

Not sure what you are using as far as a browser goes but I use MS Explorer (this post) and Chrome on my table and they both only place the quote once. I did use firefox once and it had issues displaying the text box but the quote was only once as well on that one too.

Need a cerakote / durcote / refinshing guy locally
Omega replied to plank white's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Ok, I guess the key words are profit and business. Good to know though, some things are just not common sense so a reminder is welcome. I guess my SOF gunsmith taking a look at my rifles is a gray area too. -
Well, not fun but I can laugh about it now. I joined the military out of Denver, CO so hunted mulies and elk. When I started hunting at my first permanent duty station at Ft Bragg, NC. I was recommended a 30/30 so went with it. My first few outings I let a few 8 pointers go by because I thought they were too small. My buddies laughed their butts off when I told them and they clued me in on easter whitetails and the rest is history.

For deer anything that blends in is good, they notice movement, noise and smell more than color. But they will notice things out of place too, so keep close to trees and tall grass more often than in open areas with any camo. Birds on the other hand are much better noticing movement so you have to blend in better. I use overhead cover for doves, trees or a camo tarp does good. I haven't hunted turkey, but have run across them often enough to be confident in saying that they are like dove since they react the same. If they allowed hunting with multiple weapons (used to be against regs) I could take all kinds of turkey from my deer stand.

They will email you the label.

Well not a day only but a culmination of a few days. I replaced my dead tractor with a newer one and attacked my hunting area with a bushhog. My shooting lane was so overgrown with brambels that could not setup to shoot. I used my box blade to break up and level out the ground as much as I could and spread about 10 bags of grass seed and disked it in. Well, yesterday I went back, with food plot seed, and the grass is about 3 inches though right now mostly in the small ruts but expect it to spread. I put some the seed out and raked it in and setup my shooting bench and got me some range time. A real satisfying day for all my work.

A shotgun is a very versatile tool, you can load it with all sorts of interesting projectiles. Flares, flachett, salt, slugs, sabots etc.; in an urban environment it can be very handy so not a bad choice if that is what you go with.

Need a cerakote / durcote / refinshing guy locally
Omega replied to plank white's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
So let me get this straight, if I have a buddy that knows how to cerakote, set trigger weight, lap scopes etc I could not leave my weapon with him? Or is this more for for-profit guys? -
^This - No way I would stick around FL, no matter what his name will trigger news and somebody will try and make themselves famous.

That's a nice one, I use a similar one up front for my sling; who makes it?

I have a Harris bipod for mine, but only used it once or twice. Its just too heavy, relative speaking for anything but a defensive position. For yotes or prairie dogs I use a shooting stick, like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Winchester-Shooting-Stick/16662943 because it works and is pretty cheap. You can also go the DIY route: http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1747974 If you are set on a bipod I like the Harris ones but there are a few out there now that are as good but cheaper.

Civil Unrest Thread got me thinking.
Omega replied to Randall53's topic in Survival and Preparedness
I would not rely on brick for protection, most rifle rounds will get through. For those interested in trying to fortify their homes on the cheap, spray-on truck liner, like line-x or rhino liner, has been shown to help in blast protection and may also help a bit for bullet protection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSvVy6oiMZI -
Not bad at $99, specially if you pickup in bowling green's new store Sep 25th.

Seems counterintuitive, thugs trade guns to other thugs who could care less about the legalities. Its the honest guys you want to reach; if your friend was dishonest about the gun then he now knows its possibly stolen and is culpable if he passes it along to anyone. When I purchase guns, I try and do it smartly with bills of sale, trading licence or CCW info etc. If I run a serial number and it comes up hot I will report it and the info with it as I expect someone to do if one of mine came up fishy. If a gun I sell/trade gets surrendered to LE, then I will make it right with the buyer and pass on where I got the gun from to LE and find a recourse with the person/shop I got it from; its just the right thing to do. The way I see things is, if you dont do your due diligence and get stuck with the loss its your fault to begin with, you should not pass it on to the next guy. If you knowingly keep a suspect weapon, you will be having to keep it squirreled away forever in fear of being discovered, and thats not how I want to have a weapon; I try to use all my weapons.
