Hey all, gotta run so im going to be quick. Many of you know i have a business in Newark. Been working crazy hours and have been having issues with attempted break ins and such at my warehouse. Its my fathers property, but i use half of the warehouse, he uses the other half. I know you could have a gun at your place of business and i plan on bringing my glock with me but can i bring my rifle, too? Standard nj compliant AR. No hollow point ammo for either, just std crap. Let me know! Thanks!!

Do what i did and go work the corner. Just don't let HE catch ya... That said, i got a set of blocks to work on the upper and lower using a standard vise, but what sized vise should i look at getting if gunsmithing is its primary purpose? Ill probably mount and dismount it from my bench for when i need it. Came as a set with the universal tool thing, i forget what its called... for the stock and various other funky nuts and such... need to learn some technical terms...

Nice. Looks like mine will arrive thursday. I thought you didnt purchase one?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH IT FINALLY SHIPPED! Super excited haha. I got my punch kit and all of my tools and stuff in. Now i'm just missing the most important part; i have no idea what i'm doing. Yay for google. If anyone is down to swing by on a weekend or something i'm all for learning. Have a nice setup going on in my garage with a pretty ridiculous supply of various tools (not too much specialty gun stuff, unfortunately, but working on that)..

Has anyone else gotten tracking info? Starting week 4 now, and my millenial instant gratification BS is driving me nuts. That and the fact that everything else is now sitting and waiting for the darn kit.

i have an eo/magnifier setup on my tavor.. pretty much strictly for the badass effect. That thing is basically my show piece lol.. As far as function goes, for the same $$, a good acog would be preferred.

Honestly, i've dealt with leaking block foundations and once whatever material they used back when the house was built is shot, its insanely hard to really waterproof the block from the inside. The sealants and such they make to use on the inside of the block is for moisture, not literal leaks. Try starting by pitching away from the bilco doors, and go from there. A cheap, easy thing you could try to seal around the door is a tube of roofing tar. If its a big gap/crack, perhaps try filling it with self-leveling cement prior to putting any sort of sealant. The roofing tar is a PITA to work with but it comes in caulk gun type tubes and works well on most surfaces. Even standard Caulk might work.. really depends on the condition of the door/concrete.

Not sure i understood where its leaking from, but certainly start by pitching the water away from the doors. If its seeping in from the actual door, look at getting some seals for it. If its coming in from the steps or something below the door, then a pad will only do so much; with bad rain all of the ground will get saturated so that would only help so much.

I just sold my 1911 a minute ago, so i basically flipped from the 1911 to the VP9 and pocketed a bit of $$.

Must be... It's been 2 weeks since they said it would ship out any day now.. Lol... Already spent a week looking for, then ordering a Lower, and i've already picked it up along with a handgun that i ordered... Going to hopefully have some time tomorrow to play with it. Got me a VP9, but have to switch out the backstraps and what not to the smaller sizes.

I had a folding HFT 4x8. Was a nice trailer but a PITA with the wiring and what not. Also, left it outside and it looked like shit fairly quickly. I ended up selling the whole thing with 3/4" plywood floors and wooden rails all around that were removable to load from any side, for what i paid for just the trailer; not terrible, but i lost like 150$ in PT lumber.. lol. If you aren't keeping it in a garage or something, get a real trailer as everyone else suggested; the price difference after you spend all the time and money assembling the HFT one and putting in a floor and rails and all is minimal, if there even is one. Plus, a quality trailer like carry on will last far, far longer than the harbor freight ones. If you could fold up the trailer and keep it in a garage, though, its not a bad choice. They just do NOT do good outside.. paint faded, rusted like hell because their powder coat is garbage, etc.

i have the 308 model Gen1. I love it, other than a few minor issues. First, my stock shifted and one of the throw levers for front to back stock movement is now stuck inside one of the cutouts in the aluminum part of the butt plate (going to have to try to disassemble the throw lever or something). Its also fairly jumpy compared to my 3006 savage bolt gun which just pushes straight back but a brake will fix that.

Yeah, man. Just a set of those forearm straps and a buddy is all you need! Sorry, no suggestions. Zeke is spot on with the self storage thing though.

I'm still waiting for delivery confirmation as well. I contacted them a while ago and they said "just a few days". Been like 2 weeks since... I ordered it in black with FDE poly kit. They said its because so many people ordered it assembled. I ordered an Aero lower, in the end. Under 90$ delivered, worst case scenario if i find something i like better itll go into the safe until the next build.

Ill have to check mine. Pretty sure mine isn't exposed aluminum, though, i think it's the poly one. My RPR also has an issue where something on the stock wasnt tight and the stock shifted forward due to recoil, resulting in the throw lever for one of the adjustments getting stuck inside one of the cutouts in the stock.. so i can't move the stock... so its basically stuck in the position i need it for myself. Ill have to find time to sit down and fix that issue someday, hopefully without doing damage... lol

how about these? https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_158/1640588_Aero-Precision-Freedom-Lowers.html Im not sure why they put everything together (the LaRue TAC), either. Going to have to disassemble their mock lower just to re-assemble it onto a real one, instead of just including a packaged LPK.. Weird. Going to be looking into an ambi setup too... CH, Selector, EBR/BAD lever..

You think someone could cerakote this on that lower? LMAO. Now then, for a budget i was thinking around the 200$ mark. I bought a surefire w an fde warden to match the fde furniture for 250$ (plus i get 15$ back on eBay) off a guy, so thats dealt with. That said, since i way overspent on that i dont want to go too nuts on a lower and the one you linked would exceed 300$. Id also rather buy f2f but seems like noones selling em used so ill have to pay retail plus transfer i suppose. Didnt see any complaints and being able to use the warden if im shooting w friends to save their ears is awesome. Also gona look into some ambi goodies and such. Upper isnt even shipping out for a few days and im in no rush so ill wait a bit before blowing more $$.

Omfg now i need that lower LMAO

Indeed. You've got me looking for a 2nd one LOL

I get that. I just want somethin' pirty with all the bells and whistles; all sorts of ambi goodness and anything else extremely overpriced but cool looking.. I wanted a Gucci rifle but they don't make those apparently :/

Figured when i noticed the mag thats in the rifle.. haha.

The Warden is 100% Legal in NJ right? I could see that raising some flags to an uneducated person. Wouldn't it render the Brake obsolete, though, as far as recoil mitigation and what not goes? Id like to go all out on this one rifle but word is as far as recoil goes, the m4-72 is THE best when it comes to recoil. In a SHTF situation it'd be terrible, though, realistically. Btw that's one of the best looking rifles i've ever seen. Lol. If LaRue sold FDE Lowers that could be purchased to match their uppers id be all over it. Ended up going with black with FDE poly kit because theres no way id find a matching lower :/

Yeah, sort of what i was thinking. Ill have to find something. The upper kit comes with a LPK, stock, trigger, grip, etc.. so a stripped lower is fine doesnt need to be complete.

Looking for a brake for the LaRue kit that i (and many other forum members) ordered. The two that seem to fairly consistently come up as very good brakes are: Troy Industries AR15 Medieval Muzzle Brake And, Precision Armament M4-72 The M4-72 is on the top, with results from a review i was looking at quite far ahead from the 2nd place winner as far as recoil management goes. Anything else i should look at? I want it to look badass, as well. Both of these are pretty tacticool lookin.. I just can't get over the price difference between the M4-72 with their fancy shims versus the Troy with a standard crush washer, though.. Anyone with first hand experience? The other AR i have that has a brake on it has the SJC Titan on it and i like it but its not even on any lists that i saw. Also going to need a Lower; any suggestions on what to look for? Or perhaps ill pull the lower from the spikes build i have and use that?? I haven't played with it in a while and it was in fairly good shape from what i remember. I'd like something high end and 'pretty', as well. Any suggestions or offers (if you have something for sale) would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was going to suggest a .45 1911 myself. That said, be careful at Heritage because the last time i was there the guy really didn't seem to know much.
