the tgo receiver build thread

[mikegideon]

At least you could have made a Hrothgar. Just think about it. You would have people reading.

 

I had to Google that. Don't know what's up with Bill Alexander and his names :). I haven't read the story. I picked it for its ballistics.

Guess he was struck by reading Beowulf and decided to commemorate his arms to it.

They're not bad names. I've just never read the story. I'm just glad the Grendel became a Saami caliber. Wildcats are a pain in the ass.

I's just messing wich 'ya, anyway. We need to go shooting. I'm bored, Mike. :D Pecan pie and turkey only goes so far.

 

I haven't even started on Heinz 57, yet, btw.

I need to crank up these new rifles. I'll have one ready to go tomorrow. I'll holler.

You just gotta love LaRue...

Can someone post a few links to some cool looking pistol buffer tube kits (preferably in stock)?  Thanks.

 

Two TGO builds, One buddy doing a pistol, me a rifle.

Is there a legal reason these lowers are marked "Multi Caliber"?

Nope

[quote name="gregintenn" post="1087390" timestamp="1388592403"]Is there a legal reason these lowers are marked "Multi Caliber"?[/quote] So many calibers available for mil-spec lowers now. It doesn't make sense to put caliber on stripped lowers. Some still do, but many do not.

Why put anything?

[tnguy]

Perhaps they got fed up of being asked.

I haveta say, putting this lower up next to the unfinished lowers I received a few days ago or even the upper from the pistol kit, it makes me appreciate the difference in quality (Not that I'm dissing the unfinished lowers). I'm also wondering how they achieve the finish. Is it sand-blasted or something? Edited January 1, 2014 by tnguy

[quote name="gregintenn" post="1087406" timestamp="1388593595"]Why put anything?[/quote] ATF requires a caliber designation of some type.

That's what I was asking. When did that start?

           ust be conspicuously engraved, cast or stamped (impressed) on the firearm frame, receiver, barrel or slide

 

It's pretty standard on most barrels. I suppose you have to cover all bases, however, if you're selling receivers separately.

That's mighty goofy, since the caliber is determined by the upper.

What if it's an AR-10?

That appears to be an import, and not domestic origen requirement.

By the way, here's the rest of the LaRue swag. May be my new favorite folks. Attitude counts!

Still a Multi. You can get AR-10's chambered in several different short action calibers. I don't know how most of them are stamped, but you would think they do the same thing.

maybe, but the root document is concerned with import compliance (and would include verification by Customs Department).

 

I am sure it is in practice interpreted in any manner convenient at the moment to .gov.
