Re: Proof I don't know what I am doing

Just another option, but White Wing Weaponry did some engraving for me as well. I have used Ident several times too, but they were not willing to try on a polymer lower (M&P 15-22) with their laser, where White Wing was able to do so (they were not using a laser, at least at that time).

Re: Best Brands for AR parts?

If you are going "whole hog", why stick with the Alpha version of the KMR? Get the nice one and grab a V7 Ti barrel nut to go with it, and save 3 more oz.

Re: Proof I don't know what I am doing

Im not quite moved by the lower design, but a fun little gun (sans the weight!), from the looks. JALLEN - Cost on a .300blk is not any different than a 5.56, only difference is bbl, and those vary almost as much as 5.56 in price. I ended up with a 10.5" from DSG. A couple years back they did a ...

Re: Best Brands for AR parts?

as you can see, everyone has an opinion, and a reason (real or perceived) as to why something is best, good enough, or no good at all. Personally, I lean toward BCM, Noveske, LMT, and a couple other small companies I support, but I have a few Aero's around for fun too. As mentioned, an adjustable ga...

Re: Best Brands for AR parts?

With a fixed front sight post, I assume you have a standard handguard with the cap held in place by this. You said you replaced the rail, did you go free float, or go with a different drop in rail? If free float, do you plan on extending it to cover the new gas block? If so, why not just shave the F...

Re: Prayers for the wife

Greatly appreciated, both posts and pms. Updates will be slow, as this isn't a short or quick problem, but I won't let it die either.

Thank you all!

Prayers for the wife

Hello all! Been off the forum for a bit, and life has come roaring in - but my wife is in need of some prayers. The short version is it appears she was mis-diagnosed as a child, taken off (cold turkey) medicine she has been on for 20+ years, and we spent 11 out of 14 days in the hospital, getting ou...

Re: A cuationary tale, with an ask for help... LONG!

Back in my possession. Not a horrible day, all in all. Made it up by 11:30 to get in before lunch, stopped at a couple places on the way home, and made it back in time to grab the wife some flowers and make dinner before she made it home for the evening.

Re: A cuationary tale, with an ask for help... LONG!

Nope, no chance of shipping to an FFL. Must pick up in person.

I dont mind the drive, under $100 in gas on the bike or the daily driver. And I just look at it as a "stupid tax", so I can deal with that.

Thanks!

Re: A cuationary tale, with an ask for help... LONG!

Every story I see on here prompts a what if scenario for me to play in my head. Usually at night when I should be sleeping. Lol. Anyhow, my husband and I haven't stayed in a hotel room since either of us got our chl's (gotta love being poor!) But this story proves that the best bet would be to stor...

Re: A cuationary tale, with an ask for help... LONG!

I am not sure whose name they had, or why. My speculation is that they contacted Ruger -> Distributor -> Dealer from when the gun was new, and came up with a name that way. They would then have no way of knowing that person had sold it, or to contact Cabela's to find out I had bought it. I did learn...

Re: A cuationary tale, with an ask for help... LONG!

Well, more good news to report. The detective got back to me, the information I provided was sufficient that she is releasing it back to me. But the property room wont get it until Monday, and then I get to deal with them on the background check. Fingers crossed that they let me provide info over th...
