  1. The shocker is ou really didn’t need to throw. Gooner embarrassed them using basically two rookies to roll them for 258 on the ground, while only giving up 70.
  2. It damn sure can try one’s patience.
  3. That is where I needed the hemostat. Those springs can really fly!
  4. It’s actually rather simple, or at least the way I went about it. First thing is buy a kit. This will include everything you need but the lower. I got one from PSA for a little over $320. If you are patient you will find they run sales and you can save another $20. Surprisingly it came with a 4150 chrome moly barrel and a forged 7075 T6 receiver. It was sort of a M4 knock off, 16” barrel with 1-7 twist, M4 adjustable stock, pretty much everything you will need. Trigger, buffer tube, pins, everything. Mine even came with Magpul sites. For the lower I just bought an Anderson at a local pawn shop. They made all of Colt’s LE branded rifles at one point. I’m not sure if they still do. But, it’s a mil-spec part. It set me back $70. Once you have those items it’s just a matter of sitting down and assembling it. Take your time, no special tools are really needed, but some special tools would speed up the process. Though I have the tools I purposely only used a small punch, a hemostat forcep clamp (for the front detent pin) and of course the buffer wrench. There are a vast number of YouTube videos that will walk you through the process if you’re a little uncomfortable on your first go. I would say the trigger will freak you out the most. Though once you install it you will laugh at yourself when you realize just how easy the process actually is. Give it a go, it is a fun way to spend an afternoon without breaking the bank. And there is a strange satisfaction firing it for the first time knowing you had a hand in it.
  5. It was a fun experience. The biggest thing I got out of it was I could have bought a ready to go rifle from a place like Bud’s for around the same price. So there really isn’t a cost savings. I guess it comes down to the satisfaction of assembling one vs buying one. How good are they? Well, unless you’re firing thousands of rounds, or looking for excellent accuracy I think they’re good enough to enjoy plinking on the farm.
  6. Just for fun I thought I should try and build the absolute cheapest AR possible. The criteria was simple….it just had to shoot safely. The best I could do was around $400. Anyone else try this?
  7. His LinkedIn profile shows he works for B2B sales since May of this year. Kind of an interesting company, but not what I expected he would be doing.
  8. I blame the third base coach. He hesitated, which caused the runner to slow. He rounds the bag with the run sign he beats the throw.
  9. This looks like it will solve my problem. I’m a dumbass for not reading the entire thread.
  10. That’s solid right there.
  11. I just came over to this thread to see what others are using to support this heavy shit. I have an older Wrath mounted on a semi-auto Ruger .22 magnum. Fucking thing is bulky, and really needs to be on some type of support. No doubt It’s an Armadillo killing machine, but damn thing is unwieldy for being so compact. And you’re spot on for trying to cycle through the different features while hand holding. Any recommendations?
  12. Damn you guys are creative. All of that looks delicious!
  13. Perhaps a choke job of epic proportions
  14. I see they quit showing Saban’s ass.
