I believe I have it worked out. I had a bear of a time getting an old fitting out of the bottom of my heater but now have everything plumbed from the heater through the wall to the outside. I'm just waiting on my regulator and an adapter fitting to come in and I'll be ready to go. I'm gonna run it on a 20lb tank until I can go pickup a 40lb.   I also had to order a CO alarm for my house since we are trying to adopt so I just ordered an extra one to go in the garage.   Edit: And thanks to Luke E. for finding me that heater!

So someone help me out here. I have my propane wall heater hung and have all of the materials to run the line through the wall and to the heater. I am trying to figure out what I need on the outside though from the tank to the black pipe. I am going to order the dual stage regulator online and it has a 1/4" pipe thread inlet and 3/8" pipe thread outlet.   Here's the regulator: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camco-59323-Olympian-RV-LP-Propane-Horizontal-Two-Stage-Regulator-/130970501460   I am thinking I will need one of these acme nut adapters to connect the regulator to the tank : http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/mr-heaterreg%3B-propane-grill-acme-nut-black   I'll then connect this hose from the regulator to my black pipe in the wall. The black pipe is 1/2" pipe thread so I will have to use an adapter there.   Sound good so far?

I am anxiously awaiting pics. I still haven't made up my mind on blade shape yet!

He's right down the road from my work. Singing that immigration song.

i bought two boxes of this the other day but haven't got to use it yet. Looks like a Hornady brand core-lokt. And I've always had good luck with core-lokts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well you know the styles always loop back around over the years. 20 years from now everyone will be producing mosin accessories..... :pleased:

I'm sure it's built sturdy enough but it seems like the GFG could eventually cause wear on the gun if you didn't always pull straight back. Maybe not though.

That makes perfect sense. I'm a noob AR owner so I haven't had to clear a malfunction yet.

I had to google it but it looks cool enough. What's the advantage of this over a larger aftermarket charging handle? 

I doubt I'll be in on that one so I don't have a vote but that Brend is sweet! I don't care much for the other one.

:rofl: I saw that coming a mile away.

I just bought one of the Sparc II's and am also impressed with it. I had read some of the first models has a blueish tint to lens and the power button could be bumped on or off but they have corrected all that on the model 2. I handled both it and the Strikefire but the 2 MOA dot on the Sparc is what sold me. And these two products are made in China so the Spitfires are probably even better!  :rofl:  I have had nothing but good luck with Vortex.

I am wanting to do another AR build in .300 blackout. I was originally wanting an AR-10 but I getting into reloading so I can roll my own for it. I'm gonna build this one from the ground up though. Slowly and piece by piece my wife might add haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heck of a photoshop if it ain't real....

haha funny you say that. I did just that last night but the back of my table was all flat so I easily screwed it into the wall. I actually like it better that way. I'll post up some pics once I get the press in Monday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang. I just can't commit to one cartridge that much.  :pleased:  What if I don't like it??

I doubt my table will move much but it might. Either way my garage foundation has one row of cinder block on the inside of the floor with a 2x6 or 8 on top of it so I can anchor the legs to that.

Dang you can't beat that deal. I am worried about the quality of the Lee scale that comes with it so I will probably pick one of these up right off the bat.

Would you guys use lag screws or bolts for the front two bolts on this press? I believe the way it is going to fall will have me drilling a hole through the 3/4" MDF top ten through a 3.5" 2x4. I could drill that hole all the way out but do I need too? My small vice is installed with lag bolts but I guess I am not constantly pulling up and down on it. I will more than likely have to install a 2x4 backing plate underneath the MDF for the rear bolt.

Yeah I am definitely going to get the deluxe set for the 9mm. Having never used a press before I was a little lost at first but I think I have it mostly figured out now. Bass Pro didn't have the 4 piece sets so I am going to have to look locally or order online. The rifle die set I ordered does not come with the powder charging die so I believe I will have to buy that separately. The deluxe pistol set does come with that. I'll get it all figured out though once I get it in and play with it.

Another question. Lee recommends a rifle charging die with the turret kit. Will this be needed or will the standard die set be sufficient?   Never mind. Figured that out too. The kit comes with all the goodies and spacer needed for powder charging.   I picked up my dies from Bass Pro as everyone seemed to be out online and just bought the Lee Classic Turret online. I'll be getting the rest of my goodies around Christmas. Have to pick out a brass cleaner now and a few other items.   Thanks for all the advice so far.

Yep I don't like pink at all on a gun. Not sure how you can do it with class but surely there is a way. Maybe not anything solid pink. Pink ghost flames?  :rofl:   I'm interested to see the build though.

Yeah I hate all that bright pink furniture they sell. Try to do something not so gaudy. Pink stain would be cool and unique. And put a stock and that bad boy if you want her to shoot it more than a few times haha.

Lee is sneaky with the two different turret models. The linkage looks alot cheaper on that value model. This kit linked below seems to be the good one.   http://www.midwayusa.com/product/785993/lee-classic-4-hole-turret-press-deluxe-kit   I have to say after watching that video and others I am leaning towards the classic turret. I can get in it way cheaper than the rock chucker and will leave extra cash for dies and manuals and such. Down the road I'll get another turret and set of dies for 9mm. Ole Larry isn't going crazy with shipping on me anymore either.

I'm gonna go to Bass Pro tonight and see if I can put my hands on the press. I am leaning still towards the RCBS. If for not other reason than I like green better than red...    I have been kicking around a turret press in the back of my head though. They do look a little more efficient.
