Displaced Texan

A former neighbor of mine lives down there, and he confirms that. Highest STD rate in the state of Fl.

We bought in a 55+ community in Georgetown Tx, similar to the Villages. My wife now wants a golf cart.

Well too bad, I’d have you out to pig hunt at the ranch.

Texas? Where at?

And coming in T - 10 months...Texas.

Yep. Years ago the proof was offered for auction, and I won.

Not for that much ice

Everyone wants to live on a corner property until it’s time to do corner property shit. About 1” thick ice...and a hell of a lot of sidewalk.

I’ll never tell

I hope you shoot better than Zeke!

And burn your house down in the process. Good news though...you won’t have to worry about your gutters anymore.

I need this for ice removal

Eh, with enough sauce, bugs can be tasty.

Probably throw them in a gumbo, or make Murder Hornet etoufee.

4”, the switched to freezing rain as the temp rose to 36°. Overnight the temp dropped to low 20s, and everything refroze. Ice. Sucks.

I agree with this. Colt’s name was associated with the lower quality parts (and build quality) used by the licensee. That left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouth.

BCM Mod 0 grips. I prefer them over anything else.

The acogs mostly serve my purposes, although I plan on getting rid of one or two for a Trijicon MRO.

We got about 4” before the switch to freezing rain.

I forgot about the ‘Colt Competition’ line. I saw a few of those in the wild...not impressed. I’m a bit of a Colt snob if you haven’t noticed. Lol This is what I have here...a few more reside in Texas. First pic, AR15A4 upper on a Match Target lower. Second pic, LE901 in .308 Third pic, 6921, and a pair of 6944s.

Colt rarely had a problem selling every civilian rifle they made, so I don’t really know why they did it. I really didn’t like having a 3rd party vendor make the Expanse under license for Colt. Bad move, IMHO. If the 3rd party mfg produces a crap product, it reflects directly on Colt, not the vendor. While Colt makes great rifles, the management of that company sucks, and they sometimes make decisions that don’t make much business sense. I do like that they produced the 6960 CCU, and that they make the ‘retro’ series rifles from time to time. People have been crying to Colt for both of those things, and I thought it was a good business decision to listen to the consumers. @Bomber, when I referred to the ‘upper’, I meant the complete upper receiver group. Barrel, upper, BCG...I should have clarified. What I should have said was I have seen Expanse rifles with (complete) 6920 uppers on Expanse lowers.

You should see what the Cajuns are gonna make out of them.

Nice! I have the ‘proof’ logo from when they did those lowers.

If it’s not chrome lined, it’s not a legit 6920 upper. The actual upper receiver may be from Colt, though. I have seen a few Expanse models with CL barrels. Most of them have unlined barrels. A true Colt supplied barrel will be marked like this, or with the cage code in place of the C. They switched over to the cage code since about 2018, if I recall correctly. More recently, a CR code.

Howdy, and welcome to NJGF, and the world of firearms!
