I have been wanting to do this for a while now and finally received most of the Parts for my Mini Draco today First I want to say I still have not received My side folding Adapter from ACE Therefore I must give a Huge thank you to " Dolomite_Supafly " He sent me a pignose adapter to use till ACE decides I am important enough to receive my Side folding mechanism. Without him I would not have be able to complete this at all I started off with a Mini draco purchased from JGsales which happened to come with a free drum :D Today Most of My parts arrived I plan on doing a sidefolding Pistol brace with the SB15 rather than the sb47 pistol grip mounted, My main reasoning behind this Is I want to be able to fold the Pistol and fit it into a backpack or satchel , The Mini draco is very small and perfect for this so adding anything other than a sidefolder really wasn't an Option for this need, I am currently using The pignose adapter till the folding mechanism arrives. Since the pig nose and folding adapter will use the same holes to mount , I used the Pignose to mark the rear plate on the mini Then I drilled the holes to match the Bolts "I used 8/32 drill and tap and allen head bolts" After completing that I then moved onto the handgaurd As most of you know , as far as options go for the handgaurds on a mini draco there simply are only 2 at the moment The Hotdog bun that it comes with which is just putrid looking to me and the Cheese grater that Midwest industries released The Midwest industries mount is simply to small in My opinion and I wanted the option to remove or add rails if need I chose the Strike Industries Trax-1 Keymod Rail for these reasons However the Trax-1 isnt designed to be mounted on a mini draco so I had to chop the barrel clamp Used to mount the Bottom rail and, notch the top of the rail to fit around the front sight Post I also installed Parrabellum AKARS Dustcover Rail mount Holosun Technologies Mini Reddot optic "hearing great things about this optic cant wait to test it out" Charging handle grip Magpul Pistol grip and AFG Below is what she looks Like now I havent had the chance to shoot it yet and may wait for my 4 pc Bulgarian Flash Hider and folder before doing so , Guess it depends how long It will take to arrive. I am extremely happy with this little weapon and will Update with new Pics when the Flash Hider and sider folder arrive Thanks again Dolomite ...Your a life saver! Updated Pics with Side folder Installed Really love this setup. It now fits into any of my small backpack and even a couple of my Laptop cases Once the 4pc Bulgarian brake Arrives I will be finished Very Excited and Happy with this little pistol

If the GFSZA could stand up to court review... yes anybody carrying a firearm in the vehicle including in some cases (long guns) permit holders would be in violation.   Yet another bad law...   Only good news...  local DA's can't charge you under the GFSZA... you'd have to piss off a federal prosecutor.  

  You are doing a great job living out the quote at the bottom of your post.

Only if it's brought in by a logger who drove down and "picked" it along the ice road on a motorcycle built by the custom shop that has a show now.

  Well, like peeing on an electric fence, bet you won't do that again, eh? ;)   - OS

Picked up a new G30S yesterday at Tennessee Gun Country. Glock Blue Label program gun. I am surprised how gentle the recoil is since it is so small. Tried the 36 but it was just too small. Fired 120 rounds of reloads with Magnus 230gr JHP and Magnus 215gr LSWC. Good loads I use in my G21. Happy with my new Glock.   :rofl:

Im still on the fence, while i have had car issues( fixed for now) and now GF issues( in process), I don't know if i really can afford a $240 knife. (i already have about 10 gerber blades stashed in various places in the house, truck and atv.   Now if it holds its edge and dosent need sharpening all the time, I might reconsider. I always need a sharp knife.   I posted last right before i saw the deadline extended to October 15th, If i can make it work, i might still reconsider.

same as large primer brass

Maybe Rick can pawn Hitler's alien baby. History channel tri-fecta.

  I used to be that way, until the "History" channel started running shows about Hitler and aliens.

I have worked with Bob for several years but it wasn't until he asked my advice on what firearm to carry while backpacking in Mountain Lion country that I learned he was a gifted outdoor photographer. He decided on an AR-15 platform and I said "Yeah! that'll do".  So here is a link to some of his work. I hope ya'll like it.    http://rdbowen.smugmug.com/      

  Don't Congress Critters and judges too? And um, even Presidents?   - OS

  Safe to say TMF doesn't look the same as back then either. ;)   I still maintain the fantasy of Sophia Loren and Ava Gardner, and hell, one of them is dead! ;)   - OS

Prayers for the victims. Like Vontar said, if some one wants to check themselves out go find some nice quiet secluded place in the woods out in nature and pop yourself but don't take a bunch of innocent children and young adults with you...............Things like this make me so...... :rant: :rant: :rant:

It takes a big man to admit it

MDA was kicked out of Kroger parking lot for protesting - management said the company is not expected to change its policy     http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/09/17/Moms-Demand-Action-Chapter-Kicked-Out-of-Michigan-Kroger-Parking-Lot   :up:

Here are a couple still in velvet. Should be seeing some bone soon.

The M92 is a HEAVY weapon. I have the 223 version and with a 30 round magazine of lighter 223 it still weighs 9 pounds. The M92 also has a 10" barrel while the Mini Draco is 7.5" so it depends on what you want to do with it but for me the M92 was not a viable choice for my plans so I sold it within days to buy the Mini Draco. I think the Draco will fill the roll of truck gun better than the M92.   That thing is looking great Plank, can't wait to get mine and start work on mine. The Orings from MC should be here tomorrow. I am also removing the flash hider and replacing it with a slant or maybe I will just square it off to make it even shorter. I have my Stormwerkz hinge on the way as well as an extended buffer tube to get me to 26" so I can use a VFG. For a grip I am using a Hogue rubber finger groove grip.   The only thing I have not figured out yet is how I am going to mount a Fast Fire.

I've been looking at the M92, but dang it if I don't think I like that a bit better.

  Or make a post about "45acp or 9mm" ...

I have a daughter in dental school at Remington. She has an essay question, "Which of the ten Bill of Rights would you be willing to give up, and why?" Can I ask WTF that has to do with TEETH?!?!?! I told her "NONE. You are an American citizen, and you're not giving up ANY of your rights, and no one's taking them away from you, either!"

  So basically you think that feelings are perfectly ok to rule what we can and can not do. It's your opinion of how someone should act but that doesn't mean it's intimidation. He's making a statement as he wasn't pointing the gun, wasn't making threats, or anything as such. Feelings do not matter no matter how much the liberals whine about it. You don't have the right to "feel" safe. What I find amazing is that you are talking about intimidation, but you've publicly stated that "I want to beat the crap out of this guy" and that "he needs to have his ass curb stomped." So your principles are to beat someone up or hope that someone else beats up someone who has done nothing legally wrong? Yeah, those are great principles to have.

The classroom, testing, and range requirements allows the TN HCP to be recognized by more states. 

That is a nice looking pistol for sure!!!

Got it. All normal now.  Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the mini's but that looks really nice. BTW - never buy anything direct from ACE. Carolina Shooters Supply, Bonesteel, and CNC Warrior are the only places I buy from anymore.

I'm telling you Plank, between this and Dolomites I'm starting to seriously think about going for an AK next time funds allow. Yours came out absolutely awesome, I'm jealous.

This is nothing but an attempt at intimidation. I want to beat the crap out of this guy. What an f'ing coward to try and scare school kids and parents. I take back what I said earlier. I hope this idiot gets killed. He does not deserve to live. He exists only to terrorize innocent people. When he gets shot I'm going to his grave and taking a dump on it.

That looks fantastic, I want to build one early next year.

    This is the time to make that purchase TMF. No one can fault you for investing in a future resource potential.   I just want to make sure I have enough for me, my son, and his children. If I sell a few down the road to pay my bills, that'd be between me and the buyer.   I think regular, serious shooters will take advantage of the supply and pricing currently available. I hope so.   Buy it Cheap and Stack it Deep...or don't fuss later... :2cents:

there is nothing wrong with collecting things and history is important.  SOME people who are deep into nazi stuff are disturbed individuals.  Some people who collect beanie babies are also unstable --- there is no correlation on the mental state of the individual and the items collected.    That said, some collectible items are just plain embarrassing outside of family and friends.  I inherited a KKK knife, for example.  Its a pocket knife with handles that has a guy in the KKK sheets/hood outfit and some KKK logo or something right on it.  Again, its embarrassing and disgusting but its also collectible.   It does not make me a racist or KKK supporter or anything else.  Its just metal and plastic, really, that happens to tie into our checkered and unpleasant history.    History, that if forgotten, could all to well repeat...  a greedy country expanding unchecked while no one wants to get involved...  sounds familiar somehow.

If it's a public university, let them try.  TCA 39-17-1314a (state preemption) prohibits them from attempting to regulate among other things the possession, storage and transportation for firearms unless otherwise provided for by state law...  Since there is no law granting colleges and universities the ability to regulate firearms, it would seem to me they can't legally.    More importantly, it would be a PR nightmare for them, it would inflame gun rights activists and groups... and would give conservative Republicans a great liberal target...  The BoR is already fighting a campaign against the campus carry law...  expelling a model student and citizen for keeping a legally owned firearm in the vehicle...  just might be the straw that broke the camels back...   I just don't see them taking the bait.    

DA’s don’t look at any of that non-sense unless you shoot and innocent person or bystander and they are looking at other criminal charges. They don’t care what gun, or ammo you used or when, where or if you qualified or even have an HCP. They need to answer the question of whether or not you were justified. Now, all kinds of ridiculous questions can be raised in a civil action. But a lawyer asking stupid questions doesn’t make them an issue. If people worried half as much about how they drive their cars as they do gun issues; the road would be a much better place. Much more likely to find yourself in a civil or criminal action about how you drive than how you handle a gun. Don’t use your sights, and try point instinct shooting the next time you are at the range; it may save your life.

That's a good deal unless those are plastic lowers. The reason I buy multiples at a time is to reduce the sting of transfer fees. At 3 x lowers with one transfer fee of $20 + 5 shipping comes out at a pretty decent price per lower, especially when you aren't paying sales tax on it. If I could get a better deal at a LGS on lowers I'd take it. Last time I bought a stripped Spikes at a LGS it was $110 + sales tax. This is before the Great Craze a couple years ago.

  The controller has built in temp-monitoring. If the heatsink temp gets too high it tapers back the current until the temp is back within range. Having said that the controller is rated for 800 watts on a 12v battery system and 3200 watts on a 48v system (~60 amps, either way) - at my theoretical max of 40 amps i've got some overhead.   And I think i covered the solar efficiency above in my second post. But both points are very valid concerns and things anyone thinking about setting up a system should consider.

Her answer should be "none" and the reason why should be as short as "because you can't give up something that doesn't belong to you"

Got all of the PSA parts in - - - Got it all put together yesterday - - - Got it to the range today. Call this the Proof-of-Principle configuration. The PWS break/hinder came off an FN SCAR 17. I added a MAGPUL fixed carbine stock and an extra Larue APEG grip that I had. Also installed some MI panels that I had left over from another build. The Millett 1-4 scope in an ADC scout mount is borrowed off one of my other 3Gun ARs. The rear BUIS came out of my spare parts bin, I mounted it to see if it would clear the scope. I pulled the stock off of my Light Weight AR to see if it would fit. The PSA 308 carbine tube is about an inch longer that the standard carbine length and the MAGPUL did fit. I may still go with a rifle tube and A1 stock to balance out the firearm. (Did a test fit of an A1 stock and realized that the shape of the MOE butt plate is so much better) It seems just a hair nose heavy to me right now. Noted today that PSA now has a slim profile barrel for this upper. Fired about 50 - 70 rounds of M80 7.62 ball ammo. No issues with function. Recoil was on par with my soft shooting FAL, far less than my M14, and much better than my G3 (my least favorite 7.62 battle rifle). Groups were in the 1 to 1.5 inch range and that was using the Millett's Donut-Dot Reticle. No problem hitting the 10 inch plate at 200 yards. 173rdABN also fired the gun and pronounce fit for Heavy Metal 3Gun duty so long as I replace the "SH*TY" stock trigger. I Really Like This Firearm! Funny...., wasn't even thinking about an AR in .308 less than two weeks ago.

Stumpy & Clod Stomper, deep down inside, something was telling me to just leave well enough alone. Or as my sweet little granny used to say. "Let a sleeping dog lie". She was a wise lady...born in the late 1800s, and I respected her advice. Likewise, I respect you guys advice, and have decided to just leave all of my 22 Hornets as they are. Clod Stomper, I'm glad you got your granddad's gun. I have my granddad's old J.C. Higgins Model 20, 12 gauge, pump gun in my closet. he was born in 1882 and taught me a lot about hunting, and life in general. Thank you guys for your good advice. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond...somehow, I lost the post.

The left undermines our Second Amendment rights by using a lot of arguments about what could possibly potentially maybe perhaps result from carrying guns.  Their mentality is driven by an irrational fear of the gun itself.     That mentality is dangerous because it results in a persistent coordinated effort to intrusively regulate the way others live their lives - despite the responsibility, and God-given rights, of the people they seek to regulate.     I try to avoid judging open carriers on the basis of what could possibly potentially maybe perhaps result from the open carry of a handgun.  And I trust my fellow Tennessean to make choices - about his handgun, and about his life in general - that best suit his own circumstances.

Nothing in federal law or even as far as I know in UPS Terms of Service forbids shipping gun parts as long as the part is not the firearm itself.   Bigger question is: why did you tell them what was in the package?   Also, being eBayer, you could have simply used UPS account to print label and drop it off, no interaction required beyond  a nod. If you haven't activated free UPS account yet, then use USPS from PayPal seller account, print label and drop off. It it'll fit in box, you don't need to interact with PO personnel at all. If it won't, you can just drop it at USPS counter without waiting in line.   If for some reason you don't know how to do any of that through eBay/PayPal, you can use USPS Click 'n Ship online from their site to pay an print a label, though it's not as cheap a rate or with as many class options as available through eBay seller account.   Short answer is: you'll get a doofus about half the time with interaction with any given UPS, FedEx, or USPS  humanoid behind a counter.   - OS

Colt Python, 30000-40000 serial number. 1964 manufacture.

my college roommate had one and he could pickup girls all night long with that boat of a car.   that boat could run real fast, it had a big motor.  but that was many mango seasons ago.  he sold the car and got a amc javelin.  now that was one good looking fast car. 

  No, it wasn't ... :)

C-Products are great mags

When you are accused of driving with a BAC over .08 it is very easy to take a BAC test. I would guess that in this state like many others they will even take you to the hospital for a test on your own. The guy pled guilty to a reduced offense; but the DUI arrest is still there. Apparently the requirements for a commercial pilot’s license are as strict as many other professions and companies when it comes to alcohol abuse; they want to know about arrests and they will make their own decisions. I’ve tried to explain to young people that there are misdemeanors that can impact a career; DUI, drug possession and Domestic Violence are three of them. Not being convicted is not the same as being innocent; people hiring you will do with that information what they want. Just like they will make judgments about a nut case parading around with a gun.

  Yes, yes I do...

  Maybe 150 vendors with stuff spread over maybe 300 six foot tables and stacked up behind them, on walls, everywhere.  New guns, old guns, ammo, reloading, every kind of firearm accessory you can imagine., Plus a hundred folks walking around and hanging out outside wanted to buy/sell/swab personal firearms.   About 10 percent "other", quite a few knife sellers, and folks selling everything from jerky to jewelry.   Definitely a must see for furriners who can't go to anything remotely like it back home. :)   - OS

I like my Silent Thunder holsters pretty well. The only issue I've had is the HD clip on the revolver holster wants to slip off my Wilderness belt ( http://www.thewilderness.com/tactical-belts/ ) which is admittedly not as thick as my leather gun belt.
