Shocker

No interest. I’ll just keep it

I was just at FSSArmory to do a P2P transfer (seller’s choice) and I thought it was a really nice shop…the staff was cool to me, who was only there to pay them $40 for a transfer, and any of the tire-kickers in the shop at the time. And no appointments needed any more. Perhaps I got them on a good day (well, dayS…fkin NICS…) but I’d try again.

I thought Firearms Support and Storage used to be there with gunsitters? If so they’re FSSArmory up on Rt 46 now but I may be misremembering

Patriot Arms in Park Ridge was offering a 26 on MeWe today or yesterday

He had a hand in designing drop-in AR trigger packs, IIRC Edit: oh, first post kinda says that. Reading FTW. for some reason I couldn’t find his age anywhere, did anyone catch it?

When we did something similar it made more sense to rent a storage room at one of those facilities. Much less expensive and we could get a climate controlled room. may not be feasible for you to make trips to offload but just throwing out our thought process

I was walking the next day and walking without help (cane, etc) in about a week. The limiting factor will prob be how long your Dr says you have to wait to drive - you can’t stay sitting too long for the time being

I had microdiscectomy and fuse L5-S1 and I’m only 40…bad form in the weight room I guess. The surgery sucks. Major. Ass. But hopefully it sorts you out.

Sold, lock it down

Possible trade with @always_an_eagle nothing finalized yet

$100 I think this knife is the ultimate “gentleman’s folder” but it just doesn’t spark joy for me any more titanium back scale with a steel insert at the lock bar contact point. G10 front scale so this knife is incredibly light. I will include the retail box/manual and an aftermarket titanium deep carry clip with screws (clip came black but I stripped the paint so it matches the back scale). The clip is NOT reversible condition is “very good” as I didn’t carry it often. There is a scuff in the factory clip but that might have happened in the drawer, I swapped that clip out pretty much right away the action on this knife is literally the smoothest in my collection - it flips great with a satisfying snap and when you release the lock the blade will swing closed by gravity sharpie for scale - this is a relatively slender knife meet up central/north NJ or mail on your dime. I have PayPal and Zelle and my wife has Venmo

I saw a video on the making of that gun and I still don’t know why they used threads rather than locking lugs on the closure cap

I don’t see anything currently but you could check here periodically or even set up an alert: https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/bravo recce 16 that’s my search fee free to edit

The old lady says her company pays $130 per yard delivered. But there would be a surcharge for a job that small. Plus there’s washout fees and disposal if you don’t take the whole delivery etc etc. she says there’s a company like “mr short load” or something like that (I didn’t find anything just now but it’s something similar) that specializes in something like this. Google “short load” and see if that gets you anywhere

How about an oil extractor pump? They suck motor oil out the top of your engines for some dumbass cars without drain plugs (looking at you, BMW...) or lazy mechanics. Enthusiast versions can be had with a hand pump or clips to use a car’s 12v Some are quite cheap, you just might have to extend the lines to reach between a fuel can and your tank fill port

My notes said I used 2.260” OAL but I didn’t write anything about seating to the ogive. I don’t remember that being the case IIRC the 77 SMK is made for AR mag length and 77 TMK is very similar. That ogive is what it makes it specifically not a VLD, where Hornady’s 77 is.

All the dies are .223 (at least...I’ve never seen 5.56 dies commercially). Once you size and trim a 5.56 case it’s now .223. People might say the internal volume is different but I’ve never seen evidence that it was anything other than manufacturer-to-manufacturer variance. I was just throwing that extra info on my barrel in case anyone cared in the future. The 77 TMKs can be loaded to mag length, they use a different ogive than Hornady. However I could never get the 77s to shoot worth a crap in my gun.

I was using mixed brass with CCI SRP (never bothered with the military primers) and found this best: 69gr TMK, 24.7gr CFE-223, 2.250” OAL I could get more powder in without crushing or pressure issues but this gave me the tightest group from my 5.56 barrel I had also tried Varget and had (suspected) low port pressures. Even though Varget and CFE are listed pretty similarly I think it’s a bit too fast for 69gr at least in my mid-length system

Yeah I don’t see a picture either but when someone says “tiny Cheerios” I think Trailboss

I’ve seen the primer lines at Lake City and that’s honestly some scary shit. But lately I’ve seen videos on YT about dudes refilling primers with matchheads. Probably not all that safe but might be an amusing way to spend an otherwise boring afternoon

For you reloaders, I have one very similar and it’s dead-nuts repeatable to the half-thou dont see these on sale very often just thought I’d pass it along https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00IG46NL2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QN2GT4NG8ENGMKEKCN8X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 price good as of 1/29/21

I put a o-ring around the front lug. No rattle, cost me a few pennies.

On my phone I’m using 1blocker. Worth it.

I have many Gen 2 10/30 Hexmags, purchased at different times. The earlier ones had no rivet in the baseplate, the more recent ones did. Their key is if the riser was missing the spring would be too short and they wouldn’t feed. As mentioned above, if you had 30-round springs you could throw out the riser and make the conversion...but it’s just as easy to get a spring as it is to drive 15 minutes west and buy standard cap mags if one were so inclined. So... there’s no rationalizing
