[MTpockets]

Today the delivery "enabler" driver dropped off a box of parts.

Mocked up all the pieces (using the 11.5)... I don't know if I like it yet. I might end up modifying the top rail riser for a backup iron front sight, or get a different one, or just leave it off.

Will try to go visit an AEM5 suppressor, in the Gun Gulag, to test it for clearance. The suppressor should tuck approximately a half inch under the hand-guard. I have a lot of time to get the upper squared away... With the current estimates, both of the AEM5 suppressors won't be released until next year.

Why would anyone want such an outdated setup?....Well, to match the other two.

Back to counting tumbleweeds until my Tax Permission is approved.

The AEM5 barrel weights were fully pardoned by the Guv'nah today. Not any of that new fancy schmancy stuff... like me, this design has been around awhile.
I haven't decided how to configure the short one...but it will give me something to tinker with while the rain passes. The middle rifle (16" barrel) balances very well with the suppressor attached.



Edit to add: Kind of interested in adding a AEM5-30 (with an M24 baffle stack)

Gun shops are okay. If you like background checks. Pfft.

Civil disobedience, it's how one responds to unjust and illegal laws…

Is that an oxymoron- illegal laws….

Is that an oxymoron- illegal laws….

No, there is a hierarchy of laws, from constitutional, to federal, to state all the way down to local or municipal. If a law violates a higher order law then it is in fact an illegal law.

Picked up my Colt Anaconda 8 in barrel .44 today. Python with 4 in barrel for comparison.

Nothing I needed, but something I wanted. A 5.56 > .22lr adaptor.

But. But..... It isn't a gun. It's only a part.

It can be a gun if you are brave enough.

Tappy tap tap!

Bought a BCM upper receiver, Magpul dust cover and AR-Stoner forward assist. Going to replace the slick-sided, no dust cover receiver I currently have on the M&P15 Sport Gen1. Since it's my "duty rifle" I figured I'd add two important things to it. Also some tools to get the job done!

BCM® Upper Receiver - M4 Flat Top (M4 Feedramps) Complete (Unassembled) - DEMO/Scratched

Fully Assembled, with round forward assist and ejection port cover, and T-Markings laser etched into receiver. This receiver has the M4 feedramps machined in.

I am also a fan of the XD series and have several of them in various sizes from 3" clear up to 5" Tac models. Always reliable and accurate. Nice score!

It arrived this morning at the FFL. I was there 30 minutes later.
Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 12g . Added an ACRO 2 and headed off to the range to shoot it before cleaning it up.
No pics of that (left the phone at home!).
at 10 yards I shot 5 rounds of 00 Buck. Put all 5 rounds inside of a 12" target with only 6 pellets being only 2" outside the target. Everything else was on the Dirty Bird! Finished the box and went home satisfied .
