I don't need another one.   I don't need another one.  I don't need another one.


How can I turn this down?   Oh wait. I found an excuse.  Flimsy as it is.  This is from the "high" country (Columbia).  I'm a "low" country boy.  I'll just have to hold out for a Daniel Defense from Savannah (Black Creek).   But then they don't stamp them, "yes we can" ...  bummer.

Good call Bic,....just like my Frankenstein, simple, sweet, and entirely reliable. Nothing like home built.

Well Done Sir.

All the best on the new build.

Oh I didn't buy one....yet. I bought some ammo from Palmetto - we'll see how quick that gets here.

This week, at least, it'll be slow.  I ordered a mbus and ar tool Monday night and it hasn't shipped yet.  I checked a couple of days ago and it said that an increase in sales has slowed shipping up to 5 days.

As to the lower, I really like the hope/change switch and the "Yes we can," but it's not really my style.

Yeah, my order still shows 'processing' after 5 days...oh well.

I just got tracking info and confirmation mine has shipped.  It's supposed to arrive Monday.  Your's has a few more states to cross, but maybe it won't take too much longer.

They seem to have pretty good prices; so, I'll probably check back with them again in the future.

You are now on "another DHS list", for having such a large "stockpile" of,...how does the MSM phrase it???? High caliber, armor piercing, bullet proof defeating rds. specifically designed for military applications and killing mass numbers of people and has no sporting purpose and designed for an assault rifle. :P

OMG!!!!! The Horror!!!!!

How can you live with yourself?

 ;)

Methinks a good glass of McDowell Rose' from Howell Mtn. California would do the trick on a summer afternoon,..... ::)

Gosh, who knew I could get into so much trouble for .177 airgun pellets?! - I'll return them ASAP.

I've never had much time for Rose's (this laptop won't do accent marks easily!) but I'll check it out if my guy has any, thanks.

Cup of warm tap water is good enough for me.
If I get through a whole day without pissing off at least one liberal I feel like a failure and vow to try harder the next day.

I am on the verge of going over 1,000 rounds a month. And I'm just a low end competitor.
