btw the Utica torque driver has a 1/4" hex collet, so it'll take any of the bits from the Brownell's set

1/16/2013 7:52:49 AM

That set is really nice. I just have the cheap DAC set from Walmart. The cheap set still works really well compared to regular drivers. There were a couple of bit that were too wide (just a couple thousandths of an inch) for the screws they're intended to be used on but that's easily fixed with sandpaper or files.

i'm a buy once, cry once kind of guy

[Edited on January 16, 2013 at 9:13 AM. Reason : but pretty much any hollow ground bit is going to be better than regular screwdrivers]

1/16/2013 9:12:49 AM

I'm often a buythecheaperproductifIcanmakeitwork kind of guy.

1/16/2013 9:28:13 AM

i used to be like that. once i got out of college and was no longer broke, i quickly grew tired of fiddling, fighting, and cursing with inferior equipment to try to make it work. i just love when things work how they're supposed to, i guess.

if i find myself broke again tomorrow, i'll probably revert back to the fiddling

1/16/2013 9:32:41 AM

Yeah, I completely understand that. It really just depends on the subject. Some tools you can't skimp on, others only need a little bit of work to make right. I find myself on the extremes. My first knife making tool was a $30 1x30" harbor freight sander that needed a lot of tweaking. From there a lot of guys move into a 2x42" or a cheap 2x72" grinder but I jumped to a 2x72" KMG with variable speed controller, lol. I've got a cheap table top drill press that I inherited. I don't plan on upgrading it until it dies and then I'm sure I'll be going with something big.

yeah pick one of these for me

1/16/2013 2:02:52 PM

Bought my RMR last night. $444.50 on amazon.
The next closest was optics planet at $467, and locally they are $525-550.
Should arrive by next Wednesday. I also ordered the Ameriglow Operator Tritium Suppressor sights and threaded barrel for the Glock 35. These will also arrive by next wedensday.

Then I get to send the slide off to be machined.

1/16/2013 2:16:16 PM

^^midway's site is bogged down with ridiculous amounts of traffic.

1/16/2013 2:20:14 PM

If anyone is looking for a decent .40 they have a few used Glock 22's at Lawmen's for $299 right now. Pretty dang good deal.

Picked up a S&W M&P 9mm with night-sights for $455 today.

1/16/2013 4:10:34 PM

new? that's a good catch, especially now

1/16/2013 4:11:22 PM

yeah brand new, it was the last one.

my brother actually got the deal of a lifetime from them on Monday, he got a brand new M&P Shield 9mm for $350, he was on a wait-list for it and they called him up. He probably would have paid $500 if they were asking it. I gladly paid $420 for mine from Perry's.

On another note, I have a used Ruger LCP in excellent condition that I'm looking to sell. Has about 200 rounds through it, has performed flawlessly thus far. I wouldn't be selling it if my wife weren't pissed about all the other guns I've bought recently.




[Edited on January 16, 2013 at 4:26 PM. Reason : this is not the actual gun btw]

1/16/2013 4:21:19 PM

^ FYI: There's a used gun thread in the classifieds section.

1/16/2013 5:13:03 PM

How much for the lcp ?

1/16/2013 9:03:58 PM

I would take $240 for it

You know if they had anymore in?

1/16/2013 9:59:02 PM

Anyone know anything about that Jan 19th rally at assorted state capitols? Anyone going to Raleigh this weekend for it? I'm not quite sure what to expect.

1/17/2013 12:52:16 AM

^^there is a wait list with about 150 names on it. As they come in, the people get called. You can put you name on the list and wait if you want.

^ there is a thread on CSC, and a Facebook group. From what I had read, it will be 2-300 people.
No guns allowed.

1/17/2013 9:29:22 AM

I thought it was postponed?

1/17/2013 10:27:12 AM

I heard people are going on the 19th as well.

1/17/2013 11:36:10 AM

what's a good price for a 10 rnd glock 17 (made during clinton ban)

i don't know much about glocks or the generations but i know this one has barely ever been fired.

1/17/2013 12:46:46 PM

I wouldn't pay over $400 for a like-new gen 2 G17

1/17/2013 1:25:34 PM

yeah i was thinking 350...

1/17/2013 1:26:15 PM

got in a rush to order some of the last bulk 55 gr .224" bullets on midway. forgot to update my account with my new address. now i have 500 bullets over 2 hours away.

[Edited on January 17, 2013 at 8:36 PM. Reason : luckily i have a buddy going up there next week who can mule them back to me]

1/17/2013 8:16:40 PM

Due want the Sig Sauer MPX in .357 Sig that debuted at SHOT Show.

1/17/2013 9:53:54 PM

Trijicon RMR04 Dual Illuminated 7 MOA red dot:
Not enough ambient light for the fiber optic, so this is the tritium generated dot

Just finished my SPR upper build (minus a muzzle device that is TBD)



Colt Upper Receiver
Rainier 18" Ultra Match .223 Wylde Barrel
Samson/Rainier Evo 15" Rail
Burris PEPR Mount
SFWA SS10X Scope

Thinking of going with a vortex flash hider on the end (and when I can find one in stock) and eventually I want to build another lower for it with a PRS stock (and keep everything black)

1/18/2013 6:46:42 PM

so what is its special purpose?

1/18/2013 6:48:35 PM

Precision shooting

And maybe blasting a few varmints at my parent's ranch

[Edited on January 18, 2013 at 6:53 PM. Reason : mainly just want to do some long range paper punching]

1/18/2013 6:52:03 PM

is it 1:7"?

1/18/2013 7:02:02 PM

1:8

if i lived out there i'd probably never quit calling coyotes

1/18/2013 7:44:55 PM

I would probably put on a compensator or break over a flash hider.
Maybe that goes against the build purpose though.

1/18/2013 8:15:49 PM

Sweet looking set up. I don't even know what kind of flash hider/ comp I want to use on my build.
Anyone have any suggestions? I just want it to look somewhat unique...not just a simple a2 birdcage...

1/18/2013 8:23:50 PM

get it before it gets banned!

1/18/2013 8:31:40 PM

If you aren't actually concerned with hiding the flash, a battle-comp/dynacomp, bennie cooley or miculek brake.
I have seen and heard all of those, and shot 3 of the 4.

http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=compensator&avs|Make_3=AR-15%2FM4

1/18/2013 8:39:55 PM

I haven't shot anything but the A2 so I really don't know the difference. I heard the vortex flash hider was shown not to negatively impact accuracy but I am definitely open to other ideas, would love to be educated on the subject.

Was also thinking of an AAC hider/comp in case I get a can later

[Edited on January 18, 2013 at 9:08 PM. Reason : .]

1/18/2013 9:05:56 PM

what about a Noveske flash hider?



has the structure of a suppressor, but it only has one baffle so it doesn't do any suppressing, and it's not NFA. comes apart for cleaning

1/18/2013 9:44:29 PM

hmm.....i'll have to think about this one....

1/18/2013 10:20:43 PM

Noveske isn't a flash hider, it is a linear compensator.

1/18/2013 10:23:40 PM

i calls em like i sees em... it hides flash like a mofo

anyway, I probably wouldn't put it on an 18" barrel, it's about 3.5" long, meant for SBRs

1/18/2013 10:31:47 PM

Quote :

"i calls em like i sees em... it hides flash like a mofo"

what? that thing makes fireballs the size of a basketball. its made to push the concussion forward, no supress flash

[Edited on January 18, 2013 at 11:23 PM. Reason : .]

1/18/2013 11:23:18 PM

i'm just telling you what i've seen. remember that 9" AK i mentioned a few months ago? the one that doesn't really have a purpose besides being a fun gun?

with nothing on the barrel, that thing shoots flames 2 or 3 feet... with the noveske, nothing but smoke.

1/18/2013 11:37:30 PM

weird. did it effect felt concussion?

1/18/2013 11:52:26 PM

definitely. without it, the blast just about knocks your fillings loose. put it on, and its more like a full length AK

1/19/2013 12:19:14 AM

Maybe you didn't see the cone of fire in the daylight?
I had one on my 7.5" AR, and there was always a 4' fireball thrown from the front.

1/19/2013 10:11:08 AM

Apparently someone got shot at the gun show clearing a gun.

Smh
