I'd be in for one.

Many years ago I was riding across the farm with my uncle in his truck one day. I saw him jump out of the truck with his rifle, lay it across the bed side of his truck, sight in on a coyote, and put a nice .30 caliber hole in the opposite bed side. The old bore line versus sight line got him too. What made it all the more amusing was that he is probably one of the most safety conscious firearm enthusiasts I have ever known, and rarely misses anything he ever shoots at.

My Magpul FDE furniture was delivered today and I am out of town. I won't be able to put them side by side until next week, but a few pictures I saw on the net somewhere looked like their FDE and Magpul's were awfully close.

I just got one of their cerakoted charging handles in FDE. I haven't used it yet but it looks to be a quality piece.

I just went through this myself. Phillip Brown (Brown Mechanical) in Portland beat everyone's price.

I just knew you were gonna start a thread here. I got on tonight just to look for it. I'm hoping we get approval to CC inside the building, but trying not to get my hopes up either. I don't really know about such things, but I bet it'll all come down to insurance and liability issues.

I'd recommend Bubba Victory up in Ashland City. He's a old school kinda mechanic, a rider, a super nice guy, and a straight shooter. 615-746-5975

Just ordered 4.

You can't hardly beat the good ole 30-06 for general larger game hunting in our area. It'll get the job done.

I have a medium sized civilian style backpack in a subdued color. Inside it I have a USGI poncho, a heavy duty survival/space blanket, a small green/brown tarp, two pairs of socks, a pair of gloves, a USGI canteen and canteen cup, a decent first aid kit, a bag of dry cotton balls, a bag of vasoline coated cotton balls, an Aquamira filter straw, one freeze dried meal, a Woodmans Pal, waterproof matches in a water tight container, a can opener, a small serrated blade pocket knife, a small flashlight, a Swedish firesteel, a compass, a Tennessee Atlas and Gazetteer, 100 feet of para cord, a small fishing kit, a pair of cheap binoculars, a Gerber multi tool, a small AM/FM/SW radio, and some plastic eating utensils. That is what rides in my service vehicle with me everyday. I also have a Dead On Tools Annihilator wrecking bar that I keep stuck in the drivers side door that I would pull out if I had to ditch the vehicle. I also usually have my Taurus PT709 with a spare magazine as well.

Why don't you roll your own. It's not hard to do, I thought it was a lot of fun, and you learn a lot about the platform in the process. Mine is a Yankee Hill lower with a DPMS LPK, BCM M4 stock and buffer tube, a BCM BFH 16" mid length upper and BCM bolt carrier group, Cavalry Manufacturing handguards, with an Eotech EXPS2 sitting on top of it. It was so much fun, I am thinking of building another. Seriously, if you can change out a roll of toilet paper, you can build an AR. Especially if you buy your upper complete.

This.

I have a Rock Island Compact Tactical that I bought from Phil at Bellshire Hardware on Dickerson Road. The first round that auto loaded didn't go all the way into battery, I had to bump it with my thumb to finish the job. The next 199 rounds that I have put through it so far have all been flawless, but they have all been FMJ's. Haven't tried to run any hollow points through it yet.

Already have both. The shorts came highly recommended by several different folks when I was first looking at getting into cycling and my bike came with clipless pedals so I just went ahead and bought the shoes to go with them. I figured that if I really got into it, I would want them anyway.
