Yeah that dude with a Mac 10 or something his name starts with  Y.. look through this thread and you will see him. I think you know him so maybe he's a no go..

Yacqueli, he hasn't been on in a few months.

pretty sure hes not.... im also pretty sure TheHouseProduct is

Im not a FFL. I have someone who Gives me the same benefits of having a FFL. House products is a FFL here in orange county.. Where are you located? my guy is in Tehachapi if that is closer to you then I can PM you his info.

I'm in North County SD (Carlsbad to be specific).  Send me some deets if you can please!  Worst case I'll run a search on GB's FFL list.

Just shot a PM to TheHouseProduct.  Hope to hear back from him soon!

Digging the AR! Is that a Colt SOCOM?

[Cat Daddy V.2.0]

Thanks!
It was supposed to be, but it's just a standard M4 upper from BCM pinned by ADCO. I have been on there 'notify me when available' list since March for the socom profile. Got tired of waiting and just decided to pick this up. Will be picking up a socom upper when it's actually available and maybe building a block II style rifle..no more money though!

[Rick James]

Block II's are nice     



I built mine off of a Noveske N4 Basic upper and chainsaw lower so it's not an exact clone, but I didn't start out with the intentions of building one either. I'll try to keep my next clone as close to spec as I can.

Have you ever looked on AR15.com's Equipment Exchange? 14.5" Colt SOCOM barrels pop up there on a semi-regular basis and it's possible to get a good deal if you're patient.

Oh yeah that's nice!
Actually a decent amount of mine came from afrcoms EE along with ebay.

I was looking at a few socom profiles but didn't feel comfortable barreling the upper and this was a budget build (total was about $670 so not too bad) and really didn't want to spend the money to get it completely assembled. I wanted to do a block ii clone but just didn't have the money for the DD rail and started liking the PR/1.5 style rifles. I always find myself browsing the block ii and mk18 threads on arfcom.. How do you like your stubby tango down? I sometimes with I had gone that route, at least the QD model..such a pain to get mine off.


On a side note if anyone is interested LBT has a great deal on there 'extended ruck' pack.

Hell yes. Rattle can jobs make me happy (I assume that's a good rattle can job).

I'll be picking up a new rifle soon. Looking at AMD-65s for the ugliness and bastardness. Either that or an M&M M10-762.

[Cat Daddy V.2.0]

Yep it's sprayed, my phone takes terrible photos though. I followed this sponge tutorial on ar15.com...well followed it very loosely but meh I like it. Has a texture, plus my Ras was super beat up and the two FDE parts were killing me color wise.

I really need to pick on an optic..either a Comp M3 or an XPS 2-0

Get an AK with wood furniture..moar better

Here it is before

[master]

I love wood furniture on Com-Bloc guns. If I end up having my pick, I'll get one with wood. Otherwise it's a metal folder.

Looking at buying my dad a shotgun for Christmas. My budget is $400 maybe 450.. Mossberg 500 or Remington 870? Any other suggestions? He wants to be tacticool with a pistol grip and shit but the fixed stock? law is ruining the vibe of that lol. If you had to get your dad a gun and were only 18 with $400 what would you buy?

[B.B.Rodriguez]

When it comes to the 500 and the 870 its like comparing red apples to green apples they are both really good guns and finding parts and upgrades for them isnt difficult. Flip a coin, though i think you can get a mossberg thats dressed up a little nicer for that price than you can a remington.

[barcodebilly]

Thanks for the input man with the nice barcode.
Well crap. I didn't realize that shotguns had a 10 day wait for them also. I'll just tell him it's going to come in a little late. Might try and buy one tomorrow or the next.

[Cat Daddy V.2.0]

500, 590, or 590a1 Though the a1 may be a bit more.
Remmington has been having QC issues even on there police models. Not to say Mossberg hasn't but I haven't seen as much problems with them nor personal (well seeing a friend) run into issues. It's often something as simple as polishing the bore though.

Forego the PG. No joke. They are just silly, even if he wants a 'tactical' gun a pg doesn't do it. If he really wants a PG consider getting something like a speed feed tactical stock set.

[sokoloka]

Save $120 more and get a 590a1 from your nearest Turners. I've got two, great guns.
Mossberg slide release and safety can be worked without removing your hand from the fire control group, can't say the same about Remingtons.

Agree with Cat Daddy - skip the pistol grip. In my opinion they actually reduce the functionality of the gun.

Get him a Mesa Tactical side saddle as a later gift if he wants to get all tacticool with it.
