Wrong forum for buyer / seller feedback. Sorry.

I've all but resigned myself to the Obamassiah being elected Supreme Grand Chancellor by the fanatical fruits that worship his very image. The media elite appointed him last year and reality is finally catching up to that and will finalize the deal in November. It pisses me off to no end, but the GOP has only itself to blame at this point. Frankly I'll feel at least somewhat vindicated if Tennessee still falls to McCain. At least that way I can look all of the pious, smug, pro Obama a-holes here at work in the eye and gleefully remind them that no matter what, their vote didn't matter. I'll also be flying the flag upside down for the next four years.

I have quite a few C-Products mags with the Magpul followers and have never had a problem out of them. That being said, if they are asking more than $14 a piece on them, I'd probably be more inclined to spend my money on Magpul PMAGs instead.

Thanks, but I can't claim credit for it. That's the layout that came with the vbClassified software.

You all might notice that the new stuff is available. I'm just plugging along and making adjustments as I see fit before I make a big announcement about it.

Somewhat.

I just had a few handfuls of Special K cereal for a snack. You suck.

Get used to saying "President Obama" folks. The media elite elected him months ago.

I am pleased to announce that sometime this week we will unveil a complete replacement for our Trading Post forums. This new system will offer many advantages over the current use of forums and sub-forums, including: Easy picture attachments to each classified ad The ability to set up auctions just like Gunbroker or eBay A feedback system just like Gunbroker or eBay The ability to "bump" ads once a week The ability to accept offers within ads Inline comments system for each ad Seamlessly integrated with the rest of the forum's layout And much more! Once the new system is released to TGO's members, we will close most of the current Trading Post forums and keep them around for the next 30 days as an archive of sorts. Our members will be encouraged to post their existing, current ads in the new system to take advantage of the new features. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread. I hope to have the new and improved Trading Post available within the next two days.

Now THAT is bad ass.

Holy crap... I just choked on my drink.

I think a drop-shadow on the text would fix that perspective problem.

Joe has a PM about this. We'll see what we can work out.

Apparently my suspicions were correct as there is some discussion in this thread on M4C regarding the possibility of a gas piston upper for 5.45mm

Yes but reportedly some brands of mags work better than others. The S&W guns are shipping with C-Products mags from what I understand. I believe that the bolt carrier is different with the 5.45 upper. A gas piston conversion includes a new bolt carrier since it is no longer a direct impingement system. Therefore I am lead to believe that you would need a gas piston conversion designed strictly for the 5.45mm round, or at least the carrier designed for it. Whether it is worth it or not depends on what your priorities and requirements are. For cheap shooting the closely approximates the "feel" of shooting 5.56 this is the hot thing going right now. But it's not the same as shooting a 5.56 round. If I were you, I'd check over on www.m4carbine.net and read some of the threads about the 5.45 conversions. There are several and all easily found by searching. Definitely search first before asking something that may have already been addressed. They tend to favor people who follow the old saw that God helps those who help themselves.

That's a really nice design!

I'm not typically either but I have space on my range bags that could use some... uh... flair. And I've found that it makes it easier to identify the TGO group (or a TGO member) at the range when you spot someone wearing a hat or shirt with the logo. It'd be kind of cool to eventually get the TGO name out there in USPSA / IDPA matches when people are shooting too.

This would be a nice addition.

I am curious as to whether anyone here would be interested in "Official TGO" patches that could be ironed or sewn onto range bags, shooting vests and other such gear? The logo would be identical to the one we use on the site and as featured on the TGO hats and shirts that Joe @ Hero Gear had done for us in the past. Dimensions would be around 3.75 by 1.25 inches (W x H) and they would be embroidered in full color with a "coyote brown" backing and black border stitching. Pricing to be determined but I suspect they would be just a few bucks as long as we stay with a heat n' stick backing. If we were to do something more elaborate like hook and loop the price would probably go up some. I am going to get quotes both ways.

I think it looks good and would definitely stand out on the road. It would be good if there was more shading around the white text to make it jump off the background, though. It's hard to tell with a rendering.

My Beltman belt is the 7-hole variety. As others have said, the extra holes and closer spacing gives you more versatility depending on how you are carrying.

The SBR project in various stages of dress while I was assembling it.

As soon as we get into the new year, I'm going to build our other AR but probably just stick with the standard 16" bbl on that one. I can't wait, though. Building them is as much fun as shooting them! If I have it dialed in by the 19th, I won't have any problems letting people put rounds down range with it. See above. I have a spreadsheet somewhere that kept track of the ongoing cost earlier in the project. I'm afraid to look at it as I stopped updating it somewhere mid-build. My wife reads the forum too much. Yeah the full-auto pictograms are a Spike's thing. It sure would be nice to have that third firing position, but I like my cornhole the way it is right now and don't care much for Club Fed. Thanks man! I have to confess, you started this madness when you let me shoot your full-auto SBR at the range that day.

I am going to try to have it sighted in before the 19th. The really crappy thing about this is that my schedule is literally packed every weekend day leading up to the 19th.

Ammo seems to be your department, Mr. Reloader.
