I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm glad you have your priorities in order. Weapons are more important than photos.

Heh, thanks. I'm glad you found your way over to this thread. After putting out the prices and links for those parts in the other one for Acala about building an AR15 you can see my new beauty sitting in the middle! It has quickly become my favorite AR. Simple, retro, effective. The others are all still loved though.

After a one-year hiatus w/o hosting, I will begin replacing the pictures which I had originally posted.

Does anyone know why I can't edit my previous posts?

I changed this setting while doing our upgrade because old members who posted here that had previously rocked the boat would go back in their post history and remove offending posts.

This makes it much harder for us to put the picture together when they can edit past a certain date. I have it set to where you can edit up to 60 days back. If enough members feel this is too restrictive then we can change it back.
 
A friend likes to reconfigure his S12...

For the lulz...

well I'll put it like this, my hometown is panama city and if shtf that is where I am going...your welcome to come but you'd better bring more than a shared philosophy and an empty belly. Food, water, medical supplies and/or needed skills/knowledge are a good start. :) BTW, for 300 dollars you could arm yourself with a great rifle or shotgun and plenty of ammo.

It is a damned shame you made an amazing setup but fucked it up with an RRA 2 stage trigger. It is a noob mistake I made once....dude I am sorry you also ruined a lower.

I found it to be a great trigger, I've run it hard for many thousands of rounds without a problem. I first got it because it was half price so I figured I'd try it out. Having said that I may replace it with a Geissele at some point since the prices has come down. Not a fan of RRA huh. I'm not really either but I found the lower parts kit to be one of the best after comparing between 4 or 5 or so, I can't remember its been a long time since I built that rifle. I've had zero issues with it other than a worn out gas tube and the gas tube hole in the the gasblock being a little loose due to it being a prototype and still trying to dial in the tolerances.

I have a .32 J-frame revolver you can use, lol. I'm thinking about trading it in for some silver dollars and some ammo for my AK47.

Recently saw a SAIGA .410 in a pawn shop near my house for $250. Beat up and feck ugly, but heck, a few magazines full of slugs and you're good to go.

the RRA 2 stage trigger uses a .155 pin that reams out your lower receiver upon installation so it damages it. As well the RRA NM triggers are prown to breaking. I will say this though, until they do break they are indeed fantastic in operation.
 
Oh and lets see who can notice the new LMT308MWS which is now fielded by the British military to fill the niche as a sharpshooter.
 
Update: A couple of late 1980s style A2s. Top is Colt parts for all except the lower receiver, and the bottom is same except FN parts (I still have a parts search on for a FN marked bolt carrier instead of a FN subcontractor, and proper gray delta ring).
