Anyone giving discounts to C&R FFL holders on complete AR uppers?

Ummmmm...I'm not quite sure. She thinks I was the one taking the picture.

She's plenty "fluffy" herself. Good thing both of us can live with a fat significant other. Of course, she got the raw end of the deal, because I'm much much fatter.

Trust me, you sure as hell don't want to see a dirty picture with my fat a** in it.

Obviously he doesn't realize he's in the South. He should know that southerners don't use farfangled things like epoxy to fix things. Here, it's all about the Duct Tape and a hammer. If that won't fix it, it ain't worth fixin'.

I have fairly large hands, and compacts are far too small for me. I guess I could go with one that allows for a magazine extension, but IMHO, that just looks silly. A full size grip with a short barrel just doesn't look right to me. The 4" is perfect for me.

Just based on the time he spent here, it was more than obvious that he was all about "legal actions".

No problem. I guess there's a chance that the list on their site is not up to date. I guess you'll find out with a phone call. Good luck.

Here is an authorized service center in TN. W.H. McGuns 124 North 22nd Ave Humboldt TN, 38343 ph 731-784-5746 If you don't already have the link to the list, here it is. http://www.winchesterguns.com/services/arcs.asp There seems to be several in TN and surrounding states.

You can't let the story of one guy keep you from getting it fixed. If nothing else, contact Winchester with your concerns about the potential issues with the authorized gunsmith. Winchester is paying them to do a job. I'm sure Winchester is more than willing to do whatever it takes to fix this problem.

Well, what are you holdin' out for?

As long as she keeps her mouth shut, I kinda like the fat one. If a "Regular Joe" was singling that song, it wouldn't have been nearly as good, but since a Marine was singing, it gave me goosebumps. Nice find!

If it were me, I would get it fixed. If that is not an option, I would only sell the gun after you write out a letter stating that the new owner knows about the issue you have mentioned. At the time of purchase, meet the person at a local Notary Public. I'm not sure the new buyer would have any legal recourse if he or someone else gets injured and/or dies while using this gun, but with all the sue happy SOB walking around, I wouldn't take even the slightest of chances. Just my

You made an excellent choice. I love my XD.

You're exactly right. Thankfully we have many other reasons to hate him. Actually, I don't hate him. He was simply the most annoying person I've ever encountered on the internet. And for that, I'm happy he's no longer with us.

Thanks! I'm just glad that my stupidity didn't prevent me from being able to tell the story. I was really really stupid. Just a few weeks ago I was making a delivery to one of my customers, when he did something similar with his XD9. I was standing to his right, about two feet away. He had removed the slide and magazine for some reason (I can't really remember why). He then put everything back together (including the magazine). For some reason, he needed/wanted to remove the slide again, but forgot that he had already put the magazine back in. Side note; if you're not firmiliar with the XD's, you have to pull the trigger (not on the new XDM's) in order to remove the slide. Anyway, he pulled the trigger to remove the slide, and BANG!!!!! Luckily, he had the gun pointed to his left (remember, I was standing 2 feet to his right). The bullet blew the hell out of one of those paint markers. It was a mess, but no one was hurt. Lucky! Very Lucky!

It looks to be a Springfield Armory XD9 4" Service Model.

You mean he's one of those car salesmen that buys vehicles at auction with 150,000 miles on them, has them detailed, then uses those really cool colorful shoe polishes to write LOW MILES/SUPER COLD AC/LOCAL TRADE/ONE OWNER/LOW LOW DOWN PAYMENT/GREAT GAS MILEAGE on the windshield? And does this for a ridiculous profit? I guess it's OK as long as it's not one of those Buy Here Pay Here lots.

You mean he was shot with the dreaded .45ACP and didn't die instantly? Actually, I've seen this before. He was a lucky guy. The good thing is, he will likely never do that again. Several years ago I was cleaning a Ruger .357 Blackhawk, when it suddenly discharged in my lap. I seriously thought I removed all the rounds prior to the cleaning, but oh was I wrong. Luckily I was the only one home at the time. I had the gun lying across my stomach while I was vigorously rubbing the gun with a cloth. Everything was going great, until I bumped into the trigger with my finger. BANG! I nearly needed a diaper. That scared the livin' daylights out of me. Of course, the first thing I do is start looking for an entry wound and blood. Remember, the .357 was lying against my stomach. Never being shot before, I really didn't know what to expect as far as pain and such. I had a Marine friend who was shot in the arm (entrance and exit wound), but didn't even notice until he felt blood running down his arm. Anyway, after realizing I hadn't just shot myself, I began looking to see where the bullet when. To my surprise, it actually took quite a bit of searching, but I was able to finally locate the path of the bullet. The bullet went all the way across the room, through the back of the couch (where almost always people were sitting), through the wall that seperated the living room and master bedroom, through the back of the dresser, through the contents of the dresser drawer (mosty clothes), and finally was stopped by the metal handle/plate on the dresser drawer. If it would have passed through that, right out the window she would have gone. I was very lucky in many many ways. Needless to say, I am beyond careful these days. I check, double check, and triple check.

I'm sure you'll be fine. I would venture to say, if someone is going to screw you out of money on Ebay, it probably wouldn't be over a set of $40-$50 grips for a CZ.

Thank you! But please keep that between you and I. I have a reputation to keep up around here.

The newest list is May 06-December 07? I'm not sure I understand how you can use this C&R FFL to by anything other than old guns? What else can you buy?

This sounds like a plan. What's the difference between the 01 and 03 C&R FFL? Nevermind. I found it.

As long as you're happy with the purchase. I didn't realize shipping would be that cheap. Now I see just how ridiculous some Ebayers are on their shipping charges. I've paid nearly triple that price for an item that didn't weight 1.5lbs. As far as finding parts for your CZ, keep an eye on sites like GunBroker.com and GunsAmerica.com. You can also check out your local gun shows.
