That's perfect liberal math. They'll make it sound like they've got it setup to help all of us hard working citizens when in reality, its the hard working, do the right thing producers whose money they are taking to give to those that can't or won't. How about this: let me decide to help those who can't. Then, let me keep the rest of what I earn so I can spend it as I choose, and those who won't can reap what they sow.

What benefit would the billet be? To get one with an integral trigger guard?

$.25 each is a darned good price. That's "normal" pricing or better as Walmart used to carry 50 round boxes for under $14.

I'm in for 2 each.

I got a handpicked one from SOG about 2 months ago right after they went up $20. Looks as good as any at the show.

Seems every other table had them at the show in Hendersonville last weekend. Of course they all wanted $200 for them.

Looks like they went to the LGS and looked at the rack and said that one looks evil, and that one and that one and that one......

[quote name="Rightwinger" post="884670" timestamp="1358182209"]Sadly its still on order.  June 1, 2012 and counting. [/quote] Is RRA typically that slow? I just ordered a 5.56 upper from them right at the beginning of all this madness (right after a bonus check - terrible timing) and was hoping to maybe, just maybe get it before any kind of ban passed. I hope I'm not waiting for that long.

[quote name="jaysouth" post="883106" timestamp="1358035175"] Maybe we could start doing a TGO swapmeet somewhere.   Put your thinking hats on fellow TGOers!  Where can we find a vacant lot where access can be controlled?[/quote] Probly have a better selection than most shows. This sounds like a great idea actually. I for one would love to attend something like this 2 - 3 times a year. Maybe once in each area in TN. I believe this is already an invaluable community, and having a get together that's also a formal members only swap meet would be awesome.

When do you plan on stopping in Nashville?

Check out UTG. May or may have what you are looking for, but great value for the price.

Which Mk II is it?

My only real complaint about the TWRA range is you only get about 10 minutes per relay. So if you are taking your time trying to adjust a scope or anything that may take a few minutes it can get frustrating when you get partially through what you're trying to do and you have to go cold for 5 minutes every 10. Make sure if you go that you have everything setup the way you want it at home so you can just load and shoot while you are there. I've also noticed the range officers sweeping up brass behind shooters. They don't have a problem with you keeping it, but they can be a little over diligent on keeping it cleaned up - some more than others. Charlie's range in Spring Hill is great if you like or need to tinker at the firing line. I've completely changed setups and even hand loaded using my Lee hand press right there on the line. No feeling of being rushed and everyone I've seen there are just as safe and responsible. Just wish it were closer to my house.

I would read at least 2 or 3 different ones as they all offer different perspectives. Not that any of them are wrong, but they are contradictory on some aspects and their specific point of view may or may not suit your needs. Also consider the Lee book as he offers some insight the others do not. Of course they all tout their products as the best and only ones you need, but once you go through 2 or more you learn to take that with a grain of salt and can pick out what is of real value. Also, once you read one, then get a little experience reloading, read it again. It's amazing the stuff that will jump out at you that you missed the first time because now you can relate more to it.

To shine the brass like that I assume it has to remove material. Does using SS reduce the life of the brass?

Boiled linseed oil from Lowes makes a good finish. It's oil based and does not leave a lacquer type finish.

Looks like a zombie attack all over your brass.

Cor-Bon Pow'r Ball is what I keep in mine. It's shape is almost identical to a FMJ so there should be no feed issues. It won't clog up with layers of clothing so penetration should be good and it will expand as well.

Apparently she fully supports the rights of criminals to disregard all laws and everyone else's rights.

So if the 5.56 has a longer throat, does that mean it will typically be less accurate with .223? If so, when reloading .223, would it then be a good idea to adjust for the ogive of your particular bullet by manually chambering an unseated bullet to determine the best OAL for your gun's chamber to improve accuracy?

I've just gotten my first AR (carbine) and put 200 rounds through it. Is any of the buildup that you mention in the gas tube? I've been wondering if the tube ever needed cleaning, and if so how to go about it.

Would that include a mount?

These guys are good at having (making) hard to find parts. Just be careful tho. I bought 2 firing pins for an old Mossberg .22 and they were the only ones I could find on the net that sold them. One of them I had to file down the edges so it could move freely within the bolt (not a huge deal). The other one would not fire because it was almost a full millimeter shorter than the other and was getting only light strikes. Your mileage may vary but that's my experience with them.

Got mine this week. Installed and range tested it today. Quality parts and there is absolutely no take up on the trigger at all now. The trigger when from a mushy take up to none at all with a crisp break. The only problem I had was that I installed it according to the instructions but had trouble with the trigger not wanting to reset. I backed it out a bit 2 or 3 times and finally found the spot where the reset was no trouble and the take up was still 100% eliminated. Disclaimer: this could have been due to the fact that the trigger, as well as the rest of the gun, were brand new and never fired before installation. So it could have been a break in issue. I highly recommend this kit! Well worth the $. Much cheaper than a new trigger.

Is there any benefit with going with a single chambering versus one that can handle .223 and 5.56? I'm also looking to start a build in the near future possibly looking for long range target shooting.
