Xtriggerman - I really appreciate the offer, it is very generous. I looked at the 10 inch Ryobi at HD and decided to keep looking. It is probably as good if not better than some others but I think I will wrestle this pig for a bit. Thanks.
Ronald55 - I really appreciate your efforts. If they make parts available I guess they wouldn't sell near as many units.
Grunt67 - In light of recent developments with Sears, there is no Sears anywhere near me that has these on display. Lowes and Ace are selling Craftsman products but don't stock drill presses. I am Old School and want to walk in and look at the product before I buy, but those days seem to be going away. Craftsman makes one that I think I like but I wanted to actually see it first. I guess we as a society are killing the brick and mortar stores with the on-line purchases.
If you have an Ace Hardware nearby try them. The one near me always seems to have the small Craftsman drill presses on display. Also check Northern Tool.

Henry Rifles heard you.
The company’s Long Ranger lever-action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor uses a 22-inch blued steel sporter-contoured, free-floated barrel with a 1:8″ twist to get the most accuracy out of the high BC bullet. The American walnut stock sports deep checkering, a soft rubber recoil pad and a steel forestock cap. The rifle utilizes a chromed-steel bolt and a six-lug rotary head, worked via a geared action to provide a solid lockup similar to that of a bolt-action rifle. Other features include a detachable, 4-round box magazine and a drilled and tapped receiver. The Long Ranger in 6.5 Creedmoor has an MSRP of $1,066.
If only it had iron sights on it.

Someday. lol
You need one. I saw a used one in the gun store and had already said I would take it on picking it up, before knowing what it was.

Since criminals chop down barrels are stocks on shotguns every day, I'm glad I can legally have such a set up.
I also see the practical use for transport, concealment, and defensive fire in tight quarters or civil unrest.
If you don't seriously train with it, it's the next best novelty the marketing folks are offering and keyboard operators are buying.
People can either shoot them or not, and you find out which category you're in really quickly. If you have shot a fair amount of shotgun it's no issue to pick it up and put several slugs center mass at 15 yards. If you haven't, well, good luck getting on paper.

Train like you fight!
Considering the pure number of videos coming from Brazil where people always seem to be wearing flip flops and shooting each other, you're spot on.

I think that you just killed the myth about "it's easy to convert an sks to take an ak mag."

Lunacy. So how would this work? Subpoena the records from search providers and social media sites as part of every background check?
I mean I'm sure Facebook would gladly give up the information, just like the ATF having free reign and access to this site and others I'm sure.

Well, they were going to nail him one way or another. Honestly surprised it wasn't suicide via round to back of the head. That or he'll end up dead after "resisting arrest."

To me the reality is for most people going with the steel is better than nothing. The weight sucks, but the weight will suck if 5 pounds a plate or 10 pounds a plate. On a set of steel I had I glued some thin foam to the backside and cut airflow slots into it and wrapped it over the top edge. Idea being A) air and some padding so it's not straight steel to chest and B ) when the plate inevitable rides up you don't get cracked in the jaw.
Carrier wise I'm thinking the TAG Banshee is somewhat of the go- to for a decent carrier and decent price. In any case lots of good ones out there, just don't go Condor/Voodoo.
-
I'll do counterpoints to the above. If you wait and pay attention you can get ceramic plates, multi curve, and level iv from places like Highcom or similar for close to the same price as steel. Whatever you do don't buy a cheap carrier though, it will suck. Grey Ghost Gear makes a decent minimalist carrier but you will want to add padded shoulder covers. Spiritus Systems new carrier is supposedly nice but I haven't handled one of those. My personal carrier is a First Spear Strandhogg but those don't come cheap, though it is the most comfortable one I've worn. Outside of those there are plenty of good companies like TAG, Crye, BFG, and others that make fairly priced, not China made gear, like what AR500 sells.

You mean you didn't do the drill through with the leg from another? Weird.

How come they can't get away from the stlying of a Yugo or Lada?

That is an awesome toolbox, I want it.

As much as it would be great to be able to travel the world without fear for harm or death, that's just not the case. Being an American in terrorist controlled areas goes against any logic. Perfect example of idealism gone wrong.

if you need any help w/ antenna or other let me know. Lifelong enthusiast here. Love me some antenna construction.
Will do. Need to get a radio first though. On top of that I was only issued my call sign Monday night at 1:30 in the morning, so I've yet to do anything.
-
So would this be the place to pick up a radio or should I order one online? Currently thinking Yaesu is going to be the route I go for a handheld. Looking at the FT-60R or the VX-6R.

Thanks for the info. Just passed my test but I'm trying to figure out where to go from there.

Well, just passed my "Technicians" license test. Now to wait for a call sign, and to get a radio.

The Halls one, and I'm reasonably sure I've seen them at the Dixie Lee Junction location as well.
