Of course, it may be the last of nearly everything I buy for the next 5 years, she's not exactly pro-gun yet.....

lol. Mine is not a big gun fan either. She has no clue that I'm building a AR but once she finds out

emopunker2004 · 02-14-2013, 09:03 PM

always always mil-spec. There are more stocks out there for mil-spec if you decide to change your stock out one day.

P.S. I'd NEVER marry anyone not pro-gun. Period. Sleep with...well that's different.

spectrrr · 02-14-2013, 09:12 PM

mine will come around. she's never been exposed to a RESPONSIBLE gun owner before (quite the traumatic opposite, but that's another story). She's willing to give me a shot with them, and when she sees the pleasure that the hobby brings to me, and that it's not actually dangerous when used properly.. and in fact it is very empowering to her own security.. yeah, I think she'll come around. But since I already have "enough" guns, she's going to have to come around a long ways before new purchases are authorized, lol

spectrrr · 02-14-2013, 09:13 PM

holy crap.. just got an email from Botach requesting that I confirm my address, and then a reply that the order was heading to shipping dept. Say it aint so! And that order had a very important item in it, a black dog drum for the 15-22!

emopunker2004 · 02-14-2013, 09:20 PM

good luck. it's botach after all...

spectrrr · 02-14-2013, 09:38 PM

I sure hope it shows up... I really want that black dog mag... and I got it for $20 less than black dog's site was selling them for....

emopunker2004 · 02-14-2013, 11:33 PM

Ok help me out guys.

Buy a midlength free float rail for my midlength AR and keep the front sight. OR
Buy a 15" free float rail, cut the front sight and then buy a flip up sight?

spectrrr · 02-14-2013, 11:39 PM

I vote for the 15" rail. Not much extra weight, and lots more to hold on to, plus gives you a slightly extended irons sight picture. But that's just me. The dissy style never bothered me, always looked practical.

emopunker2004 · 02-14-2013, 11:47 PM

Yeh. only thing is then i have to wait cuz the ones I want are all OOS lol

spectrrr · 02-14-2013, 11:58 PM

which rails do you want exactly?

emopunker2004 · 02-14-2013, 11:59 PM

Troy Alpha or the Troy Vtac

spectrrr · 02-15-2013, 12:05 AM

well, not sure the color you want, but if you want a BLACK 15" alpha, I picked one up from Brownells last month and won't be using it, just waiting to get boxed up and sent back sometime next week.

emopunker2004 · 02-15-2013, 12:15 AM

spectrrr · 02-15-2013, 02:48 AM

too much to do, too little time to do it!
Now it looks like my computer is acting up enough that I gotta reload this morning... in time to get a photo project done and to the printer in the afternoon...
Might have to cancel 11am salsa lessons....
