  1. I just received my suppressor stamp on Monday. The paperwork was mailed in on July 9th and approved on November 29th= approx 4.5 months.
  2. My bad, I thought I had previously posted the details. So here goes: - This started out as a Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel Overwatch upper receiver. - I stripped everything off of the upper, installed a new 6.5 Grendel barrel (with a smaller gas block diameter), new Troy rail, and Adams Arms gas piston kit. - The optic is a Leupold Mark IV 4.5x14x50mm LRT with illuminated retical, with a Larue one piece mount. - The lower started out with a Spikes Tactical (stripped ). I added a DPMS LPK. I'm still trying to make up my mind on what trigger group to upgrade to. - I added the Magpul PRS stock, MIAD grip with the extra firing pin and bolt carrier, and a mono pod. - The can is the Freedom model from www.libertycans.net. This was originally designed to be a 7.62mm can, but they custom made mine in 6.5mm. I'm hoping the sound suppression is even more efficient since the only dimension that changed was the bullet channel. It took over 1.5yrs to finish with the last 7 months waiting on my form 4 approval. The camo job on the rifle was a Hero Gear "custom (spray can)" and I have since tweaked it to cover the suppressor and some wear marks. Now if I can just get some decent weather and a free weekend, I will be rockin'.
  3. After nearly seven months, start to finish, I finally have possession of my Liberty suppressor (chambered in 6.5mm). I picked this up Monday evening and gave it quick shot of camo paint to match the rest of the rifle. I'm hoping to break it in this Saturday out in Gallatin. Now I just need an NVG sight, and an IR laser.
  4. My point about releasing that many documents wasn't directed at Assange and Wikileaks, it was for the individual(s) within the gov't. How would someone secure this much information and not raise some kind of alarm unless it was meant to happen? In this day and age, with all the technological advances, I don't believe this could have happened covertly.
  5. I find these leaks to be quite timely. While everyone was focusing on Wikileaks, did you happen to see what was passed (this morning) in the Senate? S510 the Food Safety Modernization Act was passed by a vote of 73 to 25. It will do the following if signed into law: 1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency. It resembles the Kissinger Plan. 2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection. Instead, S 510 says: COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party. 3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.†Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US†covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into†it by virtue of being produced. 4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food. It allows the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of every food on earth and remove access to natural food supplements. Its bizarre history and its expected impact in limiting access to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food, GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all safe and organic food and health itself, since the world knows now it needs vitamins to survive, not just to treat illnesses. 5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds – How to criminalize them, for more details. 6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease. Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents. Animal diseases can be falsely declared. S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations. 7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety. 8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer. The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated. 9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe. The five items listed — the Five Pillars of Food Safety — are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger. 10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied. It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the US. S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act*, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money. “If accepted would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.†~Dr. Shiv Chopra I don't wish to high-jack the thread, but I wanted to show you what you might have missed. I agree with a previous post; I have read (sorry no link at this second) outside of Becks website that Wikileaks is funded through one of Soros' groups. Personally I can't imagine how someone would "leak" this many documents and not get caught. Blame it on this disgruntled PFC? Not plausible. IMO, I think Wikileaks is tied to one of the alphabet agencies. I can't prove it, but something doesn't pass the smell test here.
  6. I stumbled upon this excerpt in a book I'm reading and I wondered if any of you legal-beagles know if it's genuine? Has the TN Supreme Court ruling been updated or re-issued since 1871? "The rifle of all descriptions, the shot gun, the musket and repeater are such arms; and that under the Constitution the right to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed or forbidden by the legislature." -ANDREWS V. STATE; 50 TENN. 165, 179, 8 AM. REP. 8, 14 (TENNESSEE SUPREME COURT,1871) If this is genuine, how might this effect or support the Firearm Freedom Act passed a while back?
  7. Its Guns & Leather in Greenbrier.
  8. Thanks Froggy. Those are great prices.
  9. I was doing my routine search online to see what the availability of primers and other components would be. I went to www.wideners.com and saw they have both CCI400 and CCI41 small rifle primers available at a great price. CCI 400=$29/1k CCI 41=$33/1k or $155/5k
  10. I have loaded more than 5000+ rounds of .223 using the same recipe. All rounds have worked flawlessly. The accuracy has been very consistent. It goes like this: - Any brass trimmed to the right size. ( I forget the exact length without looking at my notes) - CCI 41 primers - AA 2230 powder @ 24.9 grains - Hornady 55gr FMJBT projectiles (buy in bulk @ Wideners.com) Add a light crimp and these little babies are perfect.
  11. Are you using a case gage to verify your rounds after you load them? Using these gages can detect incorrectly sized rounds before you get to the range. Here is a link to the gage I'm referring to: Dillon Precision: Reloaders, Reloading Equipment, Bullet Reloading, Bullet Reloaders These simple items can save you a lot of headaches.
  12. Has a date been established for June? I would like to attend this long range session.
  13. This grill could put me in contention for a future shot at Pit Masters on TLC. I love smoking ribs on mine. Damn, now I'm hungry.
  14. Wow, thats a nice setup. And here I thought I had a super setup with my Chargiller Duo with added smoke-box. Char Griller - Grills and Smokers
  15. This guy is a class act. Recently, I have sent him emails about auditing the Fed. He made it clear that he supports the secrecy the Fed operates under. I'm glad he supports WE THE PEOPLE. It's time for him and Lamar to go.
  16. I want to know the scoop on these plutonium dipped cyanide rounds. Is that something they have in the back room of the Reloader's Bench?
  17. When these bills are written with such a broad stroke of the pen, I fear someone down the road could use this, now legal, provision as they see fit. It may be a bit much, but its worth making people aware of the contents. RFID chips can now placed into peoples body, the question is will it ever be mandatory? Death panels are a nice catch phrase, but the rationing of care will provide the same destructive consequences. So call it what you will. Some people take these as "nothing to get excited about" notions, but I with the ever-growing appetite for power of DC, people need to start piecing this stuff together. Hell, ask most people about posse comitatus, and they will probably tell you its still a valid law. Many people overlooked the fact the G.W. Bush effectively repealed this back in 2006 with the signing of John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (H.R.5122). All these individually may be nothing to get exicted about, but when looked at collectively, you notice a pattern that cannot and should not be ignored. I hope my concerns are for nothing, but suspect otherwise...
  18. I read something where they could defund it to make the law DOA. As in the case of the southern border fence, it should be built, but there is no funding to complete it. But this doesn't stop the IRS from gaining new authority, it doesn't stop the gov't from gaining access to our bank accounts, and it doesn't stop them (Congress) from opting out. So repealing is a better, yet more difficult option IMO. And then there is this little part of the bill: Microchiping included in Healthcare Bill ? | Ron Paul 2012 | Campaign for Liberty at the Daily Paul First they try to force us to buy healthcare, then secretly tucked in the bill is a provision that may force us to get some foreign object placed in our bodies? This is alot of unwarranted "force" for a country that stands for freedom and liberty. Sometimes I think I went to bed one night and awoke in Bizzaro World.
  19. Sen. Bob Corker: health care repeal doesn't pass 'common-sense test' | tennessean.com | The Tennessean I read this article in the Sunday paper and it made me mad. Corker thinks we should work to amend the current healthcare bill instead of repealing it. He states, "The Tennessee senator said repealing the bill doesn’t pass the “common-sense test” and that Congress should look for ways to deal with the worst parts of the bill." Worst parts of the bill??? Someone tell me what the good parts are? I guess it's easy to ignore this when it doesn't apply to the people creating the law. I thought laws must apply equally to all citizens, or it, in effect, is discrimination. This moron doesn't pass the common senator test. We THe People said no to this bill, and they still passed it.
  20. After several conversations with the guys at Liberty Suppressors, I decided to "pull the trigger". (yeah my humor sucks) Today I purchased their Freedom can chambered in 6.5mm. Freedom Rifle Suppressor by Liberty Suppressors They offered to custom bore and thread this can for no additional cost. I can't argue with the price. And now the waiting game begins: wait for the assigned serial#, waiting for the can to be constructed, completing the NFA paperwork/trust, sending in my $200, and the final wait for my stamp. I hope to see it this fall.
  21. I didn't realize zombies shopped at the grocery store. Was that in the "ethic" food section?
  22. I won't blame this on anyone but myself. I made the error in selecting my free-float rail. The armorer did comment on the short travel of the rod, but from what I gathered, he was unfamiliar with this kit. I'm down, but not out! I will try to get it fixed shortly.
  23. Well, today I was excited because I finally received all the parts to covert my Grendel into a gas-piston upper. I bought the following parts: - Adams Arms rifle length conversion kit - A new barrel from Wardogoutfitters.com (Needed a gas block diameter of 0.720". My old barrel was a heavy bull barrel) - A muzzle brake from SabreDefence - A freefloat quad rail from Midwest Industries. - A Harris bipod adapter from Yankee Hill Machine I took all my upgrades down to Joe and his armorer at Hero Gear. There they broke everything down, installed the parts and pieces, and gave my beauty a shot of paint. When it was all done, this thing was perfect! One thing was bothering me on my ride back to Nashville. When the gas piston actuating rod was installed, there was limited range of motion to actuate the bolt carrier group. When I got home I did some research and found out I made a HUGE (and costly) mistake. Allow me to pass this along before others make the same mistake. I thought I purchased the Midwest Industries two-piece rail system. When it was installed it was one piece, but it didn't sink in. The Adams Arms site calls specifically for the two-piece setup, when using the MIDWEST setup, due to the oversized barrel nut associated with there other rail systems. Unknowning, I selected the wrong rail when I purchased mine, in turn, it had the oversized nut. This is what caused the limited travel on the bolt carrier group actuating rod. In any event, I now need a new freefloat rail to fix this issue. I was sick when I figured out I bought the wrong rail. The rifle looks incredible and I was hoping to take it out for the official break-in tomorrow... guess not. Well, here's the current pics. I'll post more after the corrective action has been applied.
