This would be a good illustration:
Haha. Used to be all about S&B when all I shot was .380acp, then moved up to 9mm and found none of my guns like their ammo so I sold it all and haven't bought any since. None the less, that was a fairly good price for brass..

If it's for an AR there are 3 different "main" lengths.. Carbine, Mid length, and Rifle length. What'd you order? If it's a free floating I might be interested in it...

This is the one I got. It's not a precision instrument, but the tolerances are acceptable. It fits the A2 flash hider that I'll be removing soon, and worked fine on the castle nut (it slipped once but I let it get a little off square).

Anyone else have a favorite?You can't find .22LR? I wish I'd seen that earlier, what did you buy?
What can I say? I'm persistent
I wish they would just ship what they have in stock, because I'm sure there is no damn way they are ever going to have everything I ordered in stock at the same time for the next 4 months. Hell, I'd be happy to pay extra shipping.I'm still looking for 2-3 basic $60 LPKs. If someone manages to catch a few in stock somewhere, I'd be happy to cover the purchase price and shipping

Also a member of the "looking for a quality LPK at a reasonable price" crüe.
I did manage to scoop up a BCM upper assembly yesterday, so I might have that Mega stripped upper receiver available after all.

Metal (aluminum counts!) and wood (altamont grips). And the reason I was asking about 22lr.
I've been looking for a 1911 in 9mm for myself for a while and wanted to get Meg something similar so she knew the controls, and came upon this 85% scale aluminum 1911 22lr at the local shop for cheaper than Buds had it, and $100 less than the shop by my work. And the old guy behind the counter was super cool and helpful, perfect for someone as complete ignorant about this stuff as I am.
J-woww and her boyfriend were there buying guns too.
Still trying to decide on my pistol.

If you don't have your 03 C&R, it's $30 for 3 years and the forms take about 10 minutes to fill out:
Here are detailed instructions... took me about 10 minutes, with 5 of that tracking down the mailing address to the Police Dept:
How to acquire your C&R FFL license
The first form is here. It's actually 2 copies in one... as you fill out the top copy (which you send to the ATF), it auto-fills the bottom copy minus your CC information (you send that to your CLEO).
http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5310-16.pdf
The second form is here... this one only needs to go to the ATF, not the CLEO.
http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5330-20.pdf
You never know when a piece of paper like this will come in handy... the guys on a Rhode Island gun forum I was a member of said having your C&R is one of the only ways for an average dude to satisfy "good cause" in some counties to get your CCW.
It might be the push I need to justify a Mosin or Tokarev.

Oh yeah! Used a Amazon gift card from x-mas and bought Magpul MBUS flip-sites today via Magpul. Went for the legit dark earth! It was $95 total, but I had the $50 card. JoeBobOutfitters actually gets $86 after my 5% mil discount and free shipping over $90... so could have save $9 if I'd wanted to use my own money.
I ordered today at 12:26am, and just got the shipping notice at 10:36pm... delivery for tomorrow.
I love Amazon Prime... worth every freaking penny.

Just posted locally as this store is here in GA, might help you guys looking for LPKs, not quite $60, they're $80 and there are 100 in stock as of 15 minutes ago:
HEROES TACTICAL AR15 LOWER PARTS KIT - HTLPK - Heroes Tactical - America's Discount Shooting Superstore!
Coupon code Slick Guns will apparently get you $5 off shipping. I've never done business with them so I can't provide any reviews about them.

I don't personally like the magpul handguard so inexpensive replacements can be obtained.. Bought one of these recently, Primary Arms drop in carbine rail for $45 shipped to my door
It's made in china and the screws are about 2x longer than they need to be, but seems like a good solid rail once you get it clamped down. Am thinking about upgrading it to a LaRue floating or something like that to save some weight...
