That's about the only thing I never got into. I sourced it out when I got hydro customers back in SoCal. Huge variety in talent - take a look at several examples of prior work before committing. Sorry I'm not more help!

sale-or-trade Rare: Rem 700 Titanium Ult Ltwt 300SAUM
DocHawk posted a topic in Firearms Classifieds
I am trying to shed some guns to get into another dream car of mine (Superlite SC-L), but nothings selling right now so I'm reaching deeper into the safes! This is a quite rare Remington 700 Ultimate Lightweight, featuring a titanium receiver and match barrel chambered in 300 Short Action Ultra Magnum. The 700 Titanium receiver was a very short run, with this caliber being the rarest of all. They generally sell in the $2000 range (verified on True Gun Value). Absolutely all the bells and whistles from the factory, including lightened/fluted bolt, lightened bolt handle, accurized stock, match trigger, etc. I customized this rifle with a professional two-tone OD Green Cerakote job, an oven cured ceramic-based coating that is the standard for most factory color coatings. I have only put about 30 rounds through this rifle, as I bought it because of the allure of the lightweight action but ultimately never got into the caliber. $1900 please, in Chattanooga. Trades/partial trades welcome. -

Thanks. I checked the safes and all I have without rails are a Springfield SAR-8 and a preban HK-91 . -

What's the actual make/model marking on the receiver? Does it have a mag paddle release? -
sale-or-trade FS/T Single Action Colt Commemorative .22's
DocHawk replied to DocHawk's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Fair offer, thank you! Unfortunately, the 92FS isn't for me. I have a 92X Performance and it's the only Beretta M9 style pistol I like; I carried the M9 in service and always hated the slide-mounted selector/decocker. Again - I deeply appreciate the offer.- 13 replies

It's cool. However, it limits you to their upper, and their handguard, and costs about $1000 out the door. The great thing about ARs is their modularity and universality. Once you spend a bunch of money making it not an AR anymore, it's better to start with something that isn't an AR in the first place. By the time you're into a now-proprietary AR (doesn't use milspec upper parts anymore, so you're stuck if they change prices or go out of business and you need parts), you have spent enough for a Bren 2, or a MCX. The Bren pistol, in particular, is wickedly effective, lightweight, compact, and reliable, and folds at least as short as the MoBetta folding AR system.

The Turkish guns are really nice, and terrible. They are all over the place. I own half a dozen, just to understand what they are, and I've sold a few hundred through my shop. We very, very seldom get any in for gunsmithing work, which tells me that generally they hold up well for the kind of shooters who buy them - mostly, they sit in the safe. I have a Benelli clone that shoots birds lights out, **gorgeous** wood, and great finish quality. And the adjustable cheek rest screws are made of literal pot metal, so if you tighten the wobble out of it, they strip out and they are unfixable. No spares available. I'm a gunsmith, so it's an excuse to tinker, but it was a lot of work - the way they engineered it (badly), anything straightforward that I did would either split the wood, or be unsightly. So I installed inlays and undercut the cheek piece to make a stronger mounting bar. Extremely tedious, time consuming work. It would have been several hundred dollars for a customer. I have a Turkish double barrel Over/Under that is, again, excellent in fit and finish, build quality, and materials. No issues there; they have been building them for over 100 years, so they know what they are doing there and there are no fiddly bits to confuse their engineers. However, it has the most obnoxiously deep, rough dot-pixel serialization and make/model markings in triple-oversize blind Braille lettering that makes the barrel completely fugly to look at and skin-churning to touch. They are hit and miss. Their plastic modern shotguns are cheap, fun, and dependable. When they break, you can't get spares, so throw them away. Good loaner/ranch vehicle guns. Or buy one of the pretty ones, like I did, and be prepared to invest a lot of time making it right. Doc

Reliable on semi auto. Too slow to feed a select fire stamp gun - I mention this since you specifically stated MP5, not SP5. Personal experience.

Great firearm. I have a bunch of stuff up below typical market price... looks like many people aren't buying right now unless it's half price.

Magazine disconnect disables firing without magazine in place Loaded chamber indicator (hole above breach for visible confirmation) No 12 round mag included in OEM bundle Manual safety If anyone doesn't care for these things, I or any other competent gunsmith familiar with the P365 can disable/defeat/remove any of these features except for the LCI hole, which would have to be welded (more trouble than it's worth; better to buy an aftermarket slide instead).

Polymer80, manufacturer of arguably the most prolific 80% kit in the world, was forced to shut its doors two weeks ago. Employees were laid off abruptly, the website was taken down, and the doors are shuttered. I am friends with the owner, Loran Kelley, He said that Everytown USA was filing an average of two new lawsuits every month against his company, and with the backing of big anti-2A money, the litigation costs drowned him before he ever even managed to defend himself. A recent settlement with the city of Baltimore was for 1.2M, and that pales in comparison to overall legal defense fees. It was literally cheaper to settle that one lawsuit than carry on the fight, and dozens more fights remained. Note that this is DESPITE the fact that recent court rulings went against the ATF's extra-legislative redefinition of 80%'s as firearms, and also the recent Supreme Court Chevron Doctrine ruling strips the ATF (and other agencies) of this kind of latitude in the future, which would have bolstered Polymer80's defense. It's sad that we live in a nation where special interest money can destroy a legitimate company, supposedly protected by the Bill of Rights, simply by drowning it in litigation. Without recourse, without hope.

Il Duce, I carry a comprehensive line of AK parts on hand, and I can order even from many of the niche manufacturers. I'm north of town, on Harrison Bay. I have about 15 varieties of AK grips in my AK Grip Box. Welcome, FoxJordan. Great to have you in the community! We share a love of the AK platform - I came from California, where they told us to "embrace Communism," so this was my response... -

One interested party PM'ed a question as to whether they are truly target triggers and hammers, or the standard 29" large hammer and spur, which still measure a healthy 0.4". Yes, as stated, these are the 0.5" target options. -
