TGO David

PDO is already slated to join us.

It's taking a lot longer than I would prefer. We may have to trim back our catalog if these delays persist. Sorry.

I have all of the tools required, just none of the time required to assist in this case. If that changes, I'll be sure to let the OP know. The DPMS Panther Claw should be in any AR15 owner's tool box.

Warranty is not the issue. Build quality, strength of materials, fire rating, resistance to theft, etc are the issues that separate retail models from specialty models. A retail model may survive a fire for about 20 mins, give or take. It may keep a less-determined thief out. But the stronger models reserved for specialty shops have longer fire ratings and are much more resistant to intrusion. There is a difference between the different grades.

You're not going to get it out of there without a vice if it was put in properly.

Check with Mark over at the Safe House here in Nashville. The Safe House: nashvillesafehouse.com :: Professional Safe Movers, Commercial and Residential Safes, Gun Safes, Safe Rental, Safe Service and Repair, serving Middle Tennessee He's a supporting vendor on TGO, but they also sell safes that are a cut above the stuff you find in retail stores. There's a big difference between the various grades that Cannon makes and sells through specialty shops and through big-box discount stores.

Greatly appreciated. And thanks for the other suggestions too, folks. I'm making notes.

I contacted Warren about the Expo earlier in the fall and he was too busy to consider it. I guess he's making enough money and doesn't need any more business. It sure would be nice if he'd change his mind, because I know we're going to pull a ton of Chattanooga people into the show and right now we've got no one to refer them to in that area.

Welcome! Rec'd your inquiry... will be getting in touch with you tomorrow.

Sell firearms (black rifles, brown rifles, handguns, etc.) and/or archery equipment in or around Chattanooga ... that don't suck. I want to see who else we can reach out to and invite to participate at the Guns & Gear Expo coming up in December. Feel free to either reply in this thread or send me a PM.

Doubt it. Their ritual human sacrifices typically ended with them dumping the bodies in their source of drinking water. Not smart.

It needs a bumper sticker that says "Carjack THIS, we dare you."

What is it?

I'm almost certain that the Aztecs prophesied the Zombie Apocalypse will occur on December 22nd, 2011. True story.

234 Years of kicking ass and taking names. God bless you all.

Admins and Moderators aren't supposed to have opinions or ever get offended. It's in the rules.

If the Mayans were so smart, they'd still be around.

Jason, would your dad like to bring that down to the Expo in December and let people see it in person? As long as it can fit through the door, I think we can accommodate it inside. Let me know what the dimensions are.

Somehow this thread got turned around a few times and ended up evolving into an argument. Closing it.

Nancy Pelosi makes my middle finger twitch.

Clearly I need to post less on TGO since I am inexplicably "too close to the issues" to react without partisanship. Sadly, while that is purely a sarcastic response, I find myself having less and less time lately as we bear down on the Expo event in December. Just too many irons in the fire. So really I suppose this is a self-correcting problem. I'll post less by attrition, and some people will be happier as a result. Win... Win?

I'd check into the PRI Gas Buster charging handle if I were you. It's about a $90 upgrade but it's worth it. Keeps gasses from venting into your face when you're shooting, especially if you shoot nose-to-charging handle like I do.

Hey, tell me what you invest a lot of time and energy into so that I can make spiteful comments about it and then we can compare notes.

I think I'd just build it with whatever parts you plan on upgrading to later, and be done with it. You're putting money unnecessarily into items that you're going to discard and never be able to recoup. It's not like people often buy spare milspec charging handles; they're always upgrading to better ones. Just my $0.02 worth.
