Picked up some Premium slim PC sealed pedals yesterday. Already like 'em a lot better than Twisted PC's. The Premiums even came with a spare set of clear replacement bodies

My bro gave me an early X-mas gift and gave me Sunday Tall T bars. Biggest bars I've ever run and so far I like them a lot. I cut about 1/2" off 'em and they feel great.

New glock!

I shot a Glock .45 once and wasn't a fan of how it felt in my hand, felt kinda cheap but :cheers: for adding to your armory though

I recently bough a rock island armory 1911 in .45 and i have had no problems and have heard no other complaints about them. they are pretty cheap... especially for a 1911.

I've heard the same. I will own a 1911 someday :cheers:

A lower is a lower.  80% of them are made in the same place, you're just paying for the rollmark.

That being said I've never heard bad things about Spike's lowers.

Spikes anything is very good for what they cost. Do it!

^^^
that is a spikes lower correct? i am considering one. how is yours holding up?

Holding up fine. I built the lower myself, having no gun-smithing experience before, and it's worked great.

After buying an 11" Troy TRX Extreme on Black Friday and disassembling my rifle, I found I have a 16" HBAR. After much deliberation, I decided to machine the barrel down myself to a mid-weight barrel. I'm satisfied with the results Modifications also include chopping off the front sight block.



I know I don't have a front sight yet but I ordered a Troy folding one and it'll be here on Wednesday, along with a QD sling mount for the new hand guard.

BAD-ASS-ST came in today!

Couch, is that an 80% lower? Meaning you trim out the center yourself. Lower is lookin' good so far. I love my BAD lever!

The only bad stuff I hear about Magpul is the die-hard military guys only want a bare bones ARs with only stuff the military uses. Since Magpul tends to use a lot of plastic, they get some flack from that group. The realist inside me says they are great products at reasonable prices for every level of shooter so that's why I use Magpul.

It can get VERY expensive. Not just guns but ammo too. The good thing is guns hold their value fairly well.

*Just realized you're the dude that had the lifted toyota.  I guess you do know about expensive hobbies.

Yeah, buying gun stuff while building my Tacoma and saving all at the same time. Toys are fun
