  1. I wouldn't bother with the one that allows you to swivel it then.
  2. It depends on what you're wanting to do with the rifle.
  3. I've only used Harris bipods in the past and always found them to be well built and reliable. I've seen cheaper knock-offs but tend to like to pay and cry just once rather than go cheap and have to pay and cry again.
  4. So you guys are carrying the USP 40 over there? Cool.
  5. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  6. I was hoping that I could use some non-chlorinated parts cleaner to spray the parts down and allow them to drip dry rather than risk touching the plastics while they might be somewhat softened by the acetone. Would this stand a decent chance of working?
  7. Verbal checked into this back in Kentucky and was told by a local shop that they could but that they would have to do it "free hand" ... which sort of scares me. Do you know of anyone in Tennessee, or more precisely in middle TN, that would do this and do it with the lower locked into a fixture and engraved a little more precisely?
  8. Tasty! Nice choice of Kimber also.
  9. I will have to double check. It may be that you're presently 9 posts short of the forum software automatically bumping you to "TGO Member" status and removing the freshman designation.
  10. Flitz metal polish and a felt wheel in a Dremel work very well for polishing feed ramps. I did that to all of my XDs and M&Ps in the past and will likely do it soon to our new M&P 9L. It won't remove metal (per se) but it does clean the ramps up nicely.
  11. I've got the pink Duracoat supplies at the house but I'd love to hear any prep or equipment recommendations that you might care to share for successfully painting the plastics. That looks great, btw. Exactly what I had in mind.
  12. BCG and barrel are running $430-450 depending on reseller. The rest of it's pretty much cookie cutter AR15.
  13. I had the distinct pleasure of introducing my lovely wife to the world of firearms and it's turned out that not only is she a great shot and a fast learner but also easy to shop for. Basically the rules for success are (1.) it has to be a badass weapon and (2.) it has to incorporate the color pink in it somewhere. When I picked up the lower receiver for my AR15 short barrel rifle project, I bought a second receiver to be kept non-NFA. While it may eventually have a 5.56mm upper built for it as well, more immediately I am going to use it to build a .22LR AR15 weapon platform. This rifle will use a lot of parts I already have handy as well as a few things that we'll have to order. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the year.

It's very slick. 16" Barrel (threaded) BCG
  14. It sounds like my wife may receive hers sometime around the middle of October if this trend is any indication. We finalized her HCP application on June 10th. Four months to approve and issue is pretty damn pathetic given how fast our good friend and ardent 2nd Amendment Rights supporter Jimmy Naifeh got his.
  15. Rabbi's stance the last time I asked him about this was that he wouldn't transfer in a firearm that he could sell you himself. His rates were also higher than anyone else that I had checked with at the time. He may have changed both of these things since then, so the best thing do to is just call him and ask for the Tungsten Special. He'll probably give you a great price just to spite me, which works out perfectly for you and keeps me on his mind. www.eastsidegunshop.com has the phone number. Ask about the waffles and chicken special while you've got him on the phone. Bellshire Hardware reportedly has good pricing on inbound FFL transfers for the Nashville area. Guns & Leather, On Target, Hero Gear and others are all pretty much in the same general ballpark and don't mind transferring in a weapon regardless if they have the same thing sitting in their showroom.

    Miss me?

    Sorry to hear about your luck. This industry completely sucks lately, for that very reason.
  17. That Buckthorn pattern is very nice. I hadn't seen it before but it looks like it could be a real winner with the sort of foliage we've got around here.
  18. I might have a PM for you a little later with some help on getting that stuff together and running. I'm literally headed out the door right now for the day... but I'll send you something this evening.
  19. Use Parallels to run it on your Mac. That's what I do. Also... I picked up not one but two lower receivers on Friday. One is being sent off for engraving on Monday. The other will likely stay as a non-NFA lower and be built into something a little different. More on that later. Right now the only major components that I lack are the upper receiver, the rail forearm and the EOTech optics. Everything else is sitting here waiting for the lovin to start.
  20. Sounds like politics. Or maybe he had an epiphany and realized that being pro-2A makes sense from an LEO perspective.
  21. It's patterned after the HK SMG selector switch. The white "bullet" with the X through it is safe. The red single bullet is single fire. The red double bullet is burst or auto. Of course since these are all post-NFA builds, the third option is just there for eye candy.
  22. Welcome! Joe says that while he's gone, you're the one giving foot rubs with every 5.11 purchase. Is that true?
