My sister was an ER nurse for a while. One night, they had to deal with ping pong balls in an unusual place. She said, “Apparently, there are some things that…I just don’t know about.”

yes

Yep, back when I was maybe 18 and weighed about 155, my dad’s friend bet me I wouldn’t shoot my pistol grip Mossberg 500 one-handed with a 3” slug. He lost and I shot four more cuz I could. Probably why my rotator cuff grenaded last December lol.

This. After two shoulder surgeries, hard kicking guns no longer interest me. I probably won't even shoot my trusty Winchester Model 70 .30-06 ever again.

Thank ya sir! Now is as good a time to get a suppressor as there ever was, IF you are ok with paying the $200 tax stamp. I got a tax stamp back today for a can that was submitted yesterday afternoon. If you want to wait until January (when the $200 tax goes away), I suspect the ATF will get hammered with applications and it will be slower. Hopefully not the 6-12 months slow like it was up until a year or two ago.

I just don't get why removable FCUs are so revolutionary. I can take my FCU and put it in a smaller grip frame. Or a blue grip frame. So what. They seem kinda gimmicky. I don't see a scenario where I will pull parts from one frame and switch it to another based on some new need. If I want a smaller or bigger gun, I will buy a smaller or bigger gun.

Thank you kindly. I've always wanted something a bit different, and this scratched that itch somewhat.

Plain ol’ black ARs bore me, so I decided to try my hand at painting one when I built my shorty 5.56. I’m not set up for Cerakoting, but have researched and read that Brownell’s Aluma-hyde II is pretty close durability-wise and decided to give it a shot. Aluma-hyde II is supposedly a lot tougher than run-of-the-mill rattle can. After much trial and error (Aluma-hyde II can be finicky), I painted an upper, lower, and handguard with two coats of OD green and three coats of matte clear. The clear gave it sort of a satin eggshell finish that I found appealing. I fashioned a hillbilly dutch oven for redneck curing with a large cardboard box lined with aluminum foil (when my wife wasn't looking), and a hair dryer poking through a hole in the bottom. It was good for about 160F and I think worked well. If I were going to Badlandistan to chase hajiis, I would probably skip the clear. The build: Aero M4E1 upper and lower Aero R-One 10.3”” handguard Wilson Combat 11.3” 1/7 barrel Wilson BCG Superlative Arms adjustable gas block Triggertech 3.5 Competitive trigger JP Silent Captured buffer SB Tactical SBA5 brace and a B5 Systems grip (played 50 shades of FDE trying to get a near match with these two) Leupold Mark 4 1-4.5 LPVO Hope to shoot it soon.

For so much AR glut, they sure are out of stock on a bunch of stuff. At least they admit it now.

If Aero is hurting for business, it has nothing to do with a lack of panic buying.

Yup, I’ll be dang. Awesome rig for a southpaw.

Thanks! IMO, unless you need something that collapses to an overall shorter package, the SBA5 is the best brace out there. I have an SBA3 on another gun and I may just throw it in the trash.

Check out Tennessee Sports Foundation right outside Jackson. It's a private range, but the fees are very reasonable. https://www.tnsportsfoundation.org

Ha ha ha around here it's the old guys who talk about Mobil 1 and the know-it-alls who claim it's Fudd lore. I've used it (5w-30 I think) on pistols and had good luck. Remoil has always seemed kinda thin, so I use what Remoil I have as a surface treatment to prevent rust. I clean with Hoppes 9 (old school but it is good stuff) and lube with (lately) Lucas something-or-nother gun oil.
