I like my PWS FSC556. Not the cheapest... but I did notice a slight improvement keeping the muzzle down.

Nice lookin' boom-stick!

Well... I guess we know how the Zombie Apocalypse begins, huh... LOL

Great idea! I think I might have to build something like that in my basement!

Saw a pic of the weapon on the news this morning... looked like someone chopped off (or otherwise removed) the rear stock of an SKS (or derivative.) It really really looked like the picture of the SKS-M on wikipedia, except it was either a terrible picture or someone painted it grey with a rattlecan.

Being a fairly new home owner myself (less than 2 years now)... the things that helped me: 1. Don't rush yourself. 2. Be very budget minded. Do not get in over your head. 3. Home inspector is important. 4. A good realtor will help a lot! (And usually will help you with the first 3, and finding a lawyer, etc.) I didn't know squat when I started looking, and my realtor helped immensely. She recommended a few inspectors she'd worked with, a lawyer (who I still maintain a working relationship with for business purposes) and all sorts of stuff I didn't know about.

American Eagle .223 Found a lot of good deals lately. Doesn't stop me from stocking up on XM193 or XM855 when I can find it though.

I have one of those. I was just too excited to get it out. (Okay... okay... I was just supremely lazy. ) I will most certainly get better pics up soon. (Tomorrow most likely... today's the niece's bday party. Unfortunately she's only 2, so can't take her to the range with me yet.)

My first and second thoughts are here already: Vacuum out the coils, or it could possibly be the relay. Worst case, it's the compressor itself... but if the fridge/freezer is cold... just not AS cold.... I'm thinking the compressor is good... just not tripping on every time it's supposed to, or it's working too hard to make it COLD.

The ACOG was a last minute surprise. Wasn't on the original build list... it was on the fantasy list. (I bought a cheap Primary Arms red dot initially, which I have and will probably end up selling.) Turns out that my accountant rocks and there was a little more wriggle room in the build budget. Since I already bought everything else... this was the only thing left. That's my guest bedroom. One's the door to the hallway (left), one's the room's closet (right). My bedroom, on the other side of the house, is the exact mirror opposite. And all the doors on my second floor (except the bathroom) look exactly the same. They're the original doors. From like 1920 - 1930 or so. Crazy old houses.

Hi All, Just wanted to share. (I know everyone LOVES "Look at my Build!" threads! ) After 3 months of ordering and waiting and waiting some more, and ordering some more... the final piece of my puzzle arrived this morning and now she's all put together and waiting for me to take her to the range. (I'm going tonight so I'll find out if she shoots as good as she looks.) Parts List: - Accessory Arms 16" Mid-length upper. 1:7, 5.56, FSC556 pinned/welded, no delta pack, no BCG - Spikes ST-15 Lower - DSA LPK - Geissele SSA - Magpul UBR (pinned) - Centurion C4 12" hand guards - Fail Zero BCG - MagPul 15/20 PMags - Mako TPod G2 (VFG/bipod) - TA31H ACOG - Troy tritium BUIS (DOA rear/ M4 front)

I'm with Vlad... I love my geissele SSA. High quality. Great feel. Dependable. I would spend the $180 again in a heartbeat. Sure it's not really a drop in like a timney or something... but it's not hard at all.

Welcome from a former EPer. (My folks still live there.)

Great pick up! I love my HK45c!

Don't know how widely known this is. If you have ordered/order from OpticsPlanet, and then you write an online review of said item and they approve it on the site... they send you an email with a 1 time code to get 10% off your entire order (no brands excluded.) And I believe you can do it as often as once a month. I jut got $125 off my TA31H. Their prices were competitive with most other authorized Trijicon dealers, free shipping, and I got a gerber multi-tool of some sort for free. (I'll probably get thrown in a bag somewhere and I'll probably never use it, but it's free.)

I've used it before in my .45. It seems to run a little on the dirty side. But it goes bang, shoot reasonably well and if you can find it for a decent price... go for it!

I went all out on my latest build and didn't spend all that much more that your initial build list. Definitely shop around.

Normally I prefer 62gr... but at this price, they both go bang so I ordered a case.

Nice job!

It's too true. But then again... half of the drama of the show would disappear too. He causes 80% of the problems!

Great news for my hobby/habit... bad news for my wallet!

Would I carry it and use it... probably. (Especially for $12.) I'd probably use it as backup to another folder, or small tasks. Or maybe as a small folder in dress pants when I can't really carry my usual. Or in the glovebox, or whatever, just in case I don't have my usual carry. Hard use? Never. Last ditch pry bar? Never. Cut an apple for lunch... sure, why not? Knives are tools like any other. For $12 if I broke it, I wouldn't cry, nor would I be too surprised. If I broke my XM, I'd cry... but I'd also be rather shocked. (And I'm pretty sure that if I sent it back to the Hinderer Ranch, it would get fixed up good as new.)

Why is it a "Zombie" scope? Because it says so? Oh... cuz the dot is "zombie green"? Ugh. Will it never end? Hell... at least the EoTech one has a biohazard reticle....

You talking about the ZT 0560/ ZT 0561? Hell yes. It's a TANK!

Are you following any "break-in" procedure or are you just letting it rip?
