Bully

Trying to finish a build and need an upper vise block. If anyone in Bergen County has one I can borrow I'd be grateful. Thanks. Christopher

Parts are in. Taped and 1/2 way thru spray bombing them. Pics by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe even a range report. C

I grabbed the barrel last night. Super nice looking barrel and seems really nicely made. I'm getting excited for this. C

Slightly off topic, but not... If you're looking at pocket guns, look at the Kahr's. I just picked one up and am mightily impressed with fit, finish, and overall feel of it. Very nicely made. I am hoping to get to the range in the next day or so to run some rounds thru it. Good luck with it all. I like your list. C

Or, keep an eye on here and the facebook page. A guy posted a WTB and it was responded to. He never got back to a seller so I grabbed an O/U for a good price. I haven't shot it yet but am hoping to shortly as I have a bit of a clay bug too. Good luck. C

That's funny!

I went with a 1-4 with an illuminated reticle. For my needs I went with a Burris, I think. I picked it up lightly used for a couple hundred bucks. As I'm not an "operator" at all, it fills my need of fast, low light acquisition and the ability to reach out a bit further. Pretty much perfect. If I had the loot, I would have gotten the Leupy Firedot. Unfortunately I'm a "Champagne taste/beer budget" kinda guy. My dos centavos. C

Vlad, give Jerzeedevil.com a spin. Awesome knives from some amazing makers. If you cant find what you're looking for there... I'm out. It's a NJ based forum for knife makers and enthusiasts. Really great stuff. C

Iraqiveteran8888 destroying an AR upper on an M-16 lower. Yeeee-Hawwww!!! C

Between this and my 1911 build that I'm waiting on, life is pretty good. If it wasn't for the stoopud furnace taking a sh&$(necessitating the sale of some prized posessions), I'd be all good. Regardless, the process of the build is at least as much fun as the shooting when it's done. C

My bad. They are a local NJ firearms company. I have no affiliation with them other than admiring their work. C

Everything is ordered. I have shipping confirmation on it all. Just trying to find time to grab the barrel from my buddy. I am hoping to have a new rifle by the end of the month. What is it about the build process that is just so much damn fun? I really enjoy it. C

Try Tier 1. They are a vendor and do Cerakote. I don't know if they do any kind of "Kryptek" paint or not. C

Thanks Rob. I've shot them before I'm just not 100% on whether or not I want to add another rifle. I'm in serious handgun phase at the moment. Regardless, Vlad, nice rifle. C

That's neat. Thanks. C

That assumes that they care enough to arrest anyone. They don't care. They will pass the laws if one or one-hundred-thousand march. It's an agenda that has no basis in facts, just emotion. C

Very cool. I'm kinda thinking of one myself. Given I reload 308 and have a hunting and target gun, it might be fun to have a semi-auto 308 as well. C

So, as some may remember, a year or two ago I built an AR in 300Blk. Great cartridge but in the interest of caliber commonality with some friends, I decided to go with 223. Well, that and the fact that loading the 300 is a PITA. Anyway, I sold my upper to someone recently and did some research. The build will be somewhat similar, but a bit different. New handguard and a target crowned barrel. The lower is a Mega Arms forged with a Midwest PX LPk and an ALG trigger. ACE rifle length stock. Pretty standard stuff. Here is the parts list on the upper: Forward Assist Assembly Ejection Port Cover Assembly Vltor BCM-GFH BCM Gunfighter 5.56mm Charging Handle--Short (Mod 5) YHM 15" TJ Handguard Todd Jarrett Mega Arms AR-15 Forged Upper with M4 Feed Ramps Stripped Gas Tube Roll Pin .750 Low Profile Gas Block, Short (Set Screw) Steel Seekins Precision Melonite Carbine Length Gas Tube The barrel is a 16" McGowen, M4 with a target crown that I got from a friend for a good price. He has a build that he changed direction on and I was there to "assist" him in lightening the load. All is on order already. I'm really just posting my excitement. Pics will follow. C

Thanks gents. C

For reasons not important to this thread, I am going to be transferring two of my guns to an FFL so they can transfer them to someone else. What kind of paperwork can I expect? Do I need to notify the state or do they? I'm not at all interested in hearing about private transfer. I've done it and do it quite comfortably. I am just wanting to know if they give me some kind of official forms or just a receipt. Thanks. C

For sure I will. C

Barrel choice made and done. My buddy has something from a build that isn't happening. Thanks for the feedback. C

As for humping it all over creation, probably not. But, you never know. I'm beginning to hunt in my mildly advanced age and it could conceivably wind up on a hog hunt down by my mom. For the barrel it looks like it's gonna be right around 200. I just spoke with Michael at Tier 1 and he has a barrel in stock. Sounds like it's close enough to what I'm looking for that it could work. I've also seen and researched the Faxon Barrels (there's not a lot on them as they're kinda new) and they seem decent enough that I might take a chance. I found a Del-Ton but have not heard great things about them. The search continues. Who knows, someone on here may come thru with something. The rest of the parts are getting ordered Friday. C

Again, thank you. So, I've reconsidered my choice of barrel... The "bull" barrel is not going to do what I want. Thanks to Pizza Bob and a few other folks and reviews, it's just gonna be too heavy. So, I'm looking for a SOCOM or H-Bar in either threaded 14.5" or target crowned 16". Any and all suggestions are welcome with this caveat: I'm on a budget. I just can't realistically swing much more than 200 on a barrel. C
