That's it! I always forget what they're called. No clue why, I've seen them, and used them for years haha.

Nevermind. I'll just try and improvise some punches out of some dows, icepicks, allen wrenches, and that pointy tool whose name currently escapes me (used to put a hole in wood to guide a nail, or screw)

More or less, I just don't have the cash NOW. Something happened with my paypal account, and an unauthorized payment of $65 was made, which, for me, is about 1/3 of a paycheck. I've been saving up for a loooooooong time for this AR build, and just want to finish it up really. I'll get them down the road, but since I planned on working on this this week, I figured I could borrow some for the initial build, then buy some later, since they won't come in before my LPK does, most likely.

Basically I'm going to be assembling my lower this week, all things permitting. I need pin-punches, but do not really have the cash to go out and buy some, and I'm hoping to get this thing assembled as soon as I get my Lower Parts Kit. If anyone could lend me some punches for a day or so, I'd really appreciate it. I live in Stratford, Camden County, 08084. Hopefully someone lives a few minutes away and I could borrow them haha.

Haha, that's why my location says "The Land of Happy Farmers." Also because it was a quote from Corzine regarding South Jersey.

Not true, that was made up for Harold and Kumar. Also this was so true I shared it on Chris Christie's facebook page, so that no one will read it. Also, I'm planning on moving to Pennsylvania, or North Carolina when I get done school haha.

Only reason you call the cops is because they have guns, why not cut out the middleman? But seriously, that's good to hear. I'm thinking about trying competition shooting once I get better.

Sold Pending Trade. I may end up having a few extra things later on, but I'm not sure yet.

Pics added

Not sure at the moment. I'll know later. I may end up having a little more stuff later.

Once again, I've purchased the wrong thing. I have an unused Spikes Tactical Carbine Buffer Spring, the ST-T2 Carbine buffer, and the attachments for the stock.They're opened, but unused. I would like to get $25 shipped, so I can put it towards a lower parts kit. I also have a DPMS (sold by Brownell's) buttstock extension tube, brand new, unopened. $14 shipped. Depending on what happens, I'll post some pictures later (if no one scoops it up by then) I went to take them and realized my camera's battery was dead.

The common theme with all these purchases you didn't like is that they're all magpul. Maybe buy another manufacturer?

Or that white couple that was raped for several days, tortured, and mutilated. Or that 13 year old white teen who was set on fire.... It's a two-way street.

If I really liked the gun, I'd simply use it to bargain down the price. Then, I'd just see if my priest would bless it, just in case there was some bad ju-ju. As for the OP's situation, make sure they take care of you price wise and stuff. It probably makes sense for the company to take care of this. The crime likely occurred in PA. If the PA police traced it to Cabella's, then they would proabbly call to see if it were still there. I imagine that Cabellas would find it simpler to simply call you back and have you bring it back than for the police to go get it. Besides, for them it's better customer service. You've been very much inconvenienced, so I imagine that they'd want to try and make it up to you. Make sure you get comped for the gas, time, and stuff like that. They probably won't argue too much, after all, they wouldn't want the story getting out that they sold a gun used in a crime, and inconvenienced you. Bad situation, but it seems like you may make out in the end. I'm planning a summer trip there actually.

Yeah, I plan to put it on the magwell on the lower receiver. I think I may use a more conventional paint on the stock, and put the Prussian flag on. I thought it would be cool to see how I could do it haha. I like art, and guns, and combining the two will be a fun project for me.

Designed the stencil, just have to cut it right. I need to pick up an X-acto knife, since the razor blade I was using wasn't thin enough for such a small stencil. I guess I could just throw some painter's tape over the rest of the rifle when painting? The otehr thing is, do they make duracoat in colors other than camo?

Problem is there likely won't be any grooves, since it's been a pain finding a zombie AR lower, so I'm going to paint my own design on it myself.

The problem with the spring guns is that the heavier the spring, the harder it is to operate the bolt, that's why I'd recommend a gas gun. For a kid, it may be a little hard. Although the JG BAR-10 is cheap, and pretty good, as is the Tokyo Marui VSR10, both of which are modeled after the Remington R700.

Haha, I live about 20 minutes away from him. Are you guys just going down to shop at ANA? Or are you planning on going to a range or something?

I think that's what I'm going to do. I feel bad, since I bug the hell out of him with my questions XD. On the other hand, supporting his business may got a small way towards repaying him for all the help he's given me. I'm heading there either this, or next week to get my comp pinned. I'm not sure how long that will take though.

I'm a bit of an M14/M1A fanboy. I want to have every variant they've made in my collection, M1A, Mini14, Soccom, etc.

Haha, Well, you're a liberal I like then haha. That's always my MAIN issue with liberals, there's a lot of stuff, usually social issues where I'm liberal. I mean, I support gay marriage, because in my America, the government stays out of people's lives, they don't have the right to tell anyone how to live, so long as they aren't physically harming others, or their property. Economically I'm conservative for the same reason, environmental issues (real ones, not the tiny bit of lead released during hunting) but other things I get annoyed by. I used the term liberal in the title because it would spark more interest, also, she has traditionally been the stereotypical liberal. She always seemed anti-gun, she didn't like the fact my school had a sort of group devoted to challenging the most intelligent kids, and things like that. For the most part I don't care if someone is liberal really. The REAL issue with politics in this country is that both sides are totally about denying the rights that the other side supports. GENERALLY liberals hate on gun rights (NJ this isn't the case, but in NJ all politicians hate guns), and they work to limit these rights. Likewise, Conservatives oppose the idea of gay marriage, and things like that, and work to limit these people's rights. As far as I'm concerned, If you don't like a particular right, don't exercise it, but you should never work to undermine another individual's ability to exercise that right. Sorry, getting off topic, I was mainly curious to see what the NJGF community thought of this, and if we could get one over on our side

I'm actually thinking about it when I get the membership to R14. Though they may simply faint if they see a black rifle in front of them XD.

You have to keep in mind how gas pressures work. In semiautomatics, the pressure of the gas is channeled off, and used to reset the system to fire again. Of course, there are other methods (recoil operated weapons, or piston systems) but no matter what, you need to clean your guns. If you're not using corrosive ammo, you don't need to clean them EVERY time, but at the same time, it can end up leading to problems down the line. If the gas system gets clogged up, you're going to have reliability issues eventually, and the gun won't last as long. Even if you don't have a sentimental attachment, you have a financial one. You won't get as much "mileage" out of your guns if you don't take care of them, and they won't last you as long. Not to mention increased wear on them from improper maintenance will decrease the amount of money you can get from them should you choose to sell them. I say clean them every once in a while, at LEAST once a year if you don't shoot them much.

As a person with absolutely no knowledge on this material, I feel it my duty to chime in. USE GORILLA GLUE GUISE, TOTALLY LEGIT. Haha just kidding, though honestly, that stuff would probably hold it better than the silver solder would. I guess this is not the advice you're looking for, but it may be worth it just to take it to a local gunsmith. I considered dimply soldering it on, but you have to keep in mind the state we live in. If you screw it up, and someone tests to see how permanently it's attached on there, and it comes off, you're in deep trouble. Not to mention if you get it professionally done, you can keep the invoice, showing that you got it done, so in the event something goes wrong, you can show that you followed the laws. I know some places, such as Arms-N-Ammo do a really good job for $20, which is a pretty cheap price IMO, especially since you have proof you did it legally, you'll likely have a better job done, and you save yourself the trouble.
