About how much is that Armscor running anywho?

I find it amusing that this is post #223 for you, haha

Those have been pretty hard to find for a while now, I've heard that they were re-tooling the Izhmash plant which has had their production, and therefore their exports, reduced by over 50%. Might have trouble finding one locally, but I think Atlantic Firearms still has them in stock. Might I add, the short supply has them commanding a premium...

We've all heard the election time declarations from supporters of both parties "If _________ wins, I'm moving to _______". Know anybody who will actually hold true on their statement?

Night Sights.

and bring a gas can.

So, just so we're clear, there are NO spellcheckers in this so-called.. erm.. "anarchey"?

Frozen urine and steam blankets are all in good fun. but the ATF?! You crossed the line. Haha, kidding

You sir, just talked your self out of a sale.

I've noticed you're new to the board, and while I do support your wanting to buy from Franklin Gun Shop, they don't always have the best prices. Checkout http://www.hero-gear.com for an awesome selection of ARs & accessories. The guy who owns the shop is a frequent poster here, and while I've never bought anything from him directly, he always receives glowing reviews from other board members.

I dont think you'll see a price drop after the elections, although I cant say I've seen an across the board hike yet, so a drop wouldn't be expected. If that's your price range, I would checkout Smith & Wesson's M&P15 rifles. You could even get a nice Sabre Defense AR for that.

FWIW, I vote EMP, but if this thread is really deciding for you, I would say the decision has been made, haha.

Nice one, Gutter! That reminds me of a prank I pulled when I was working at a deli in high school... We had one particularly nervous manager, so my buddy and I (both 15 at the time), decided to pull a prank on her. First we found an old dull kitchen knife, which we took out back and snapped several inches off the blade. Next we mixed corn syrup and red food coloring to an appropriate ratio to make fake blood. We then waited for the store to close. The managers office had to be passed on the way to the dishroom from the deli. When the doors closed, all of the dirty items from the deli (salad mixing bowls, plastic containers, cutting boards, and of course KNIVES) were placed on a cart, and rolled back to the dish room. My buddy grabbed the cart, and began pushing it past the office (where the manager was counting the cash drawer w/ the door open), he then flipped the cart over on it's side, and I quickly jumped on the ground next to the mess clenching the shortened knife in a way as to make it look as it was protruding from my neck. Keep in mind I have fake blood ALL OVER my neck, hand, and knife. The manager stuck her out out to see what was going on as my buddy feigned panic with "Oh GOD NO!". Luckily we stopped her before the 911 call was made, but boy was that look on her face sooooo worth all the effort and preparation.

Haha, for sure. I just wish I still had a use for such ingenious prankery.

Ok, so this was inspired by a conversation I had with some co-workers this morning... Whats the best prank you've ever pulled? During my short stay at UT-Knox, dorm life led to some great prank wars. One of the best I ever pulled was an idea that was passed on to me by an ROTC friend that was at Texas A&M. The legendary "Piss Puck". 1.)Fill Smokeless tobacco canister with urine. 2.)Freeze. 3.)Drop frozen "puck" in front of your adversary's door when he isn't around. 4.)Kick underneath door. 5.)Enjoy result of adversary wondering how a puddle of piss got into the middle of the floor of his locked room. Ah yes, psychological warfare at its finest.

Things I never thought I would happen for 1000, Alex.

Ok, another question for those of you who experienced the AWB. Were manufacturers still allowed to manufacture "pre-ban" style uppers? I guess what I'm getting at is, if you were stocked up on lowers bought before the ban, would you be in the clear to assemble as many pre-ban rifles as you could?

A barrel shroud? I thought that was "the shoulder thing that goes up"? [ame= ] [/ame]

Thanks Tungsten, all I had been able to find on other forums where keyboard ninjas preaching "Bushmaster is teh sux0r"... Good to know bkelm, I take it you didnt have any of the above mentioned problems on your rifle?

LGBT? That stands for Lettuce, Good Bread, Bacon, and Tomato, right? Everything you need for a delicious sandwich.

Astra: When you say they "rattle", where, if you know, is the rattle coming from? ...and I do find their unwillingness to feed from a PMag distrubing... I really like the looks/features of the PMags...

Ok, so I've noticed in the AR world, people seem to either love Bushmaster, or HATE them. Where does this hatred come from? QC issues? Using foreign or inferior parts? Fill me in!

Wow, I've only watched a few so far but I'm very impressed with the production quality by the guys @ Brownells

haha, no epic Halloween throwdown like I heard about the day I was over there?

Nice. I love those colorfill selector markings.
