Displaced Texan

My slide finally made it. Waiting on iron sights to show. And a barrel.

I would change the upper. In the long run you’ll be better off. While a good AR gunsmith can fit a new gas block to your upper using the original taper pin holes, it won’t be cheap. Combine that with the cost of the gas block, etc, you’re better off buying a new upper. I think High Exposure was referring to Arms Unlimited for the Colt 6920 upper.

Jack finally makes an appearance?

Pretty

I opened a couple of boxes where I thought the sight tools were located, but no joy. Sorry. The front sight takes a very thin walled socket. The rear can be installed with light taps with a hammer and punch, but the sight tool is so much easier. FedEx has STILL not updated the delivery date for my slide. I really think they lost it, and don’t have the balls to tell me.

You got your slide??? Mine is stuck in FedEx hell. I think they lost it. I have the tools to install the front/rear sights, unfortunately they are packed. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see if I can easily find them.

That’s pretty damn cool!!! Thanks for the little history lesson.

I saw that yesterday. I’ve seen deer so strange stuff, but never that. She must have mistaken the rabbits cry’s for a fawn, amd went to its defense. That hawk didn’t have a chance.

I agree, but the NJ PUC doesn’t seem to see it that way.

Generators are supposed to be interlocked to prevent backfeed into the grid. Most whole house generators have a ABT switch, and many people use MBT switches on portable generators.

My understanding that the NJ PUC will not allow battery storage/backup for residential solar systems. I’m not sure why..probably lobbyists for the utility industry, but it’s verboten in NJ (and some other states). May be due to fire risks associated with lithium ion battery charging, I don’t know. I haven’t researched this too deeply, this was from my master electrician neighbor, who has a solar system. Personally, I wouldn’t go solar if there is no option for personal battery storage. In my mind, that largely defeats the purpose, but that’s just me.

Been there. Done that. Have a new range bag.

Lovely!!! Great job! My smoker is packed. I’ll have to live vicariously through you.

Those X500’s are beasts. Great price.

Winter is just around the corner, and this is a great deal, guys!!

SHUSH!!!

You’ll need a slide parts kit, a channel liner (not all kits include them), and a barrel.

Thanks. It’s getting exciting. Purged of everything we don’t want and mostly all packed. Staging the house this weekend for pictures. The house across the street from us sold in under a week, over asking price. The first day on market they had a line of people waiting their turn for the showing. That was kind of cool to watch. I think we’ll do ok.

Thanks HE. I just ordered one for me

Just got our quote for moving to Texas. Not as bad as I had planned on. Prices drop a little in November, maybe we will be able to hold out closing a little. Pics getting taken Monday. 25 days until the house goes live. Getting excited.
