The problem with the racks on the back wall AT BRICK ARMORY is that then you have people walking around with uncased arms outside the shooting ports. I stopped going there because I was tired of getting swept by people every time I went shooting there. The last time I went to BA, there was this dude showing his girlfriend how to handle firearms out in the STORE and they were sweeping the whole place. Actually uncasing arms and handling them in the store, and neither Phil or the other guy there said a thing! It is one thing to have a store employee take a gun out of the case, check the chamber, and hand it to you to look at, but taking a weapon out of your case and waving it around is a definite safety violation and should have been addressed.

Will she be ready?

Tony, when is your first race?

I got a Spikes MilSpec Buffer Tube,Spring and Buffer directly from Spikes last week, along with a lower parts kit.

Very, very nice! Exactly what I hope mine looks like when done. have the lower built and the stock on the way. Just looking around for an upper now.

I got a Spikes lower from AIM on sale, shipped to TJs and you are out the door for under 125.00.

Yeah, after I did it, I realized it was pretty easy. I also thought the bolt catch pin was the most difficult thing to do with only two hands. I put on multiple layers of tape to protect the lower.

Welcome to the forum.

Was doing my very first AR Lower Assembly the other day and after downloading the instructions from a link on AR.com, I was thinking "I do not have a Pivot Pin Installation Tool". They had a picture of the handy little thing but I had no .250 round stock around. What I did have in the garage was a 1/4" NYLON bolt from Home Depot (.77 investment)that I had for another project. I figured that would fit and would not scratch my brandy new Spikes Lower so I drilled a 3/32" hole through it, about 1/4" from the end and I had my installation tool. Took all of one minute to make and worked like a charm. Could I have installed the pin without it, sure, but sometimes I just like to goof with stuff like this.

Welcome to the forum from Toms River. Like Don said, Tuesday nights there are a bunch of us forum shooters there.

Thanks Joe! Stupid me, I should have taken advantage to check out your AR last week. Hopefully you willbe bringing it back out again soon.

Joe, all I am missing for my AR build is an upper..how much do they get for that "frangable ammo"?

I will be there, got your bag done so it will be my 15-22 and probably the XD-9.

I agree Brian

Sure, they may be reading stuff without posting but they have not been on for 15 days? I am not saying they are not reactive, I just think they have the (incorrect)idea that the forum has a BA bias and are not that interested in spending a lot of time on it. Everyone knows that I have been a supporter of SS and the guys there, they have been very helpful to me and my son and I value their opinions.

I bought a Spikes lower a couple of weeks ago, my lower kit and buffer tube came last night from Spikes. Only took about 20 minutes to put is all together. Don't have a stock or upper picked out yet. Missed out on a few used uppers here and there. This was supposed to be a no-rush build anyway.

Welcome to the forum from Toms River.

The place was packed! Good to meet Ray Ray and Nick. Had a great time! Loved shooting Wolfy's .44 & .357 wheel guns! Thanks Joe!

Cool, I should be getting there around 7:15. If you see the bright blue NITRO with the NJ ZED Sticker on the back window, I'm in there! Look for the old, fat guy in the NJ ZED shirt!
