It's not OS

A Magpul MOE handguard is an option. Add a rail section and you're good to go. RIFLE HAND GUARDS POLYMER RAIL SECTIONS

It is without a permit. Everybody can open carry in Kentucky.

Ah, the big picture. Some folks see it, and some folks don't. Guess we gotta carry the ball for the ones that don't.

I'm hanging with Guntroll on this one. If a gun has had some serious smithing to make it perform better, I call that custom. Hard to do with an AR, unless you go to someone like White Oak, who really does some some fitting. I don't think they even call their guns custom.

Loading ammo right now. RRA doesn't seem to know when they're gonna ship the upper. Everything else is done. The gun will be ready for bore sighting within 5 minutes after I get it home. No irons on this one. Real scope.

Double tap. Vbulletin's revenge

Sometimes it pays to listen to old farts, even if we did flunk outa charm school

Made me take a quick leap into reloading.

I'm not so sure it's wrong voicing opinions about retention in general. The OP is going to get another holster. "Are you sure?" is almost never a bad question. It prevented a lot of erased hard drives.

Correct. OS never shoots himself in the leg

Good point.

You're kidding, right?

Yep. That about covers it

I agree with you to a point. Using the term "custom build" to sell an AR makes me chuckle. With that said, Guntroll also made some good points in the OP. It doesn't take any true gun smithing skills to put one of them together. The guys on the line at Smith and Wesson don't have magic fingers. Installing a headspaced barrel assembly on an AR requires more muscle than anything else. As long as you get it past minimum torque, it either works or it doesn't. I have seen a few "expensive" rifles for sale on TGO that were listed for less than the bill of materials. Parts quality can vary widely, but receivers are probably the exception. Those $50 Palmetto State lowers look great, and are quite possibly made on the same tooling as the M&P lowers. The difference in quality is all in the BCG, barrel, and furniture. It's just the way a modular platform works. Nothing is proprietary, no matter who "manufactures" the final product.

Don't think I've used custom to describe my rifles. I use build a lot for AR's and computers.

What I thought

.458 SOCOM middy

Custom: Most people customize their feature/parts list if they don't just but it off the rack Build: Two less syllables than assemble. I love the AR15 platform because it's so modular. All 3 1/2 of mine are different. Will be 4 as soon as RRA assembles my upper.

Gives me the feeling that some of the reasons I've heard for not joining the NRA are kinda petty.

Wow. Seems to me that Yeager should get some training in damage control, and a few other things. Did he train under Mr. Tune? The bad review isn't near as damaging as his public responses.

Not so sure the speech was for them in the first place. I'm gonna send Wayne a tip.

Bravo

All about election results, and nothing about running the country. Worthless sacks of

Have the House Dems noticed how many Repubs are in the room these days? More smoke, I think.
