MacGyver

I'll let CMT speak to specific pricing, but from what I've heard, the price is going to be pretty compelling.

Following our group buy last year, a lot of people have asked if Cross Machine Tool has any plans to manufacture .308 receivers. I'm thrilled to get to announce this to you guys, but they're right around the corner, and they look every bit as good as their AR-15 pattern receivers. I've just finished building a pre-release set, and I've got to say that I am beyond impressed at the quality of the receiver set. I've built a lot of ARs over the years, and I've not built on a platform with higher quality. I'll get some pictures of the finished build up in a day or so. I'm still waiting on a flash hider. But, in the meantime, here are some quick preview pictures: My build consisted of the following parts: ALG Defense parts kit and QMS trigger - I've got to say, this is a great trigger for the price .308 front pivot pin DPMS .308 rear takedown pin .308 dust cover Midlength gas tube ICE Arms Low profile gas block ICE Arms .308 Bolt carrier group Magpul MIAD grip Magpul CTR stock Blackhole Weaponry 18" 1:11" polygonal rifled barrel AAC 51T Brakeout Flash hider muzzle brake BCM Gunfighter 7.62 Mod 4 charging handle Knights Armament URX 3.1 7.62 Rail Adapter System - this is why I was looking for the wrench last week I haven't had the opportunity to put more than a half dozen rounds through it, but am looking forward to really dialing it in for accuracy over the next few weeks. We should be THRILLED to be having these built here in Tennessee. So join me in congratulating CMT and moreover - Start saving your gun money!

That should serve as a great reminder of exactly who the Republicans within the Tennessee legislature think they work for.  It sure as heck isn't "we the people."   They all need to hear their names mentioned in the same sentence as Debra Maggart's a little more often.  And if we'd toss 3 or 4 of them under the bus every cycle - maybe just maybe they'd start to come around in a decade or so.

Unless someone decides to "test" it, or someone with deep pockets decides to fund a case like Mr. Marbut's, it's hard to see a lot of difference between Montana and Tennessee.   That said, with 8 states having passed the law, and 25 more states having introduced bills, it may not be a dead cause.  I sure don't expect it to play out anytime soon, though.  It's going to take them some time to find another horse.

With the Supreme Court declining to hear Gary Marbut's case last week, the current state of the TN Firearms Freedom bill is unfortunately little more than a nice sentiment.

The man does not need to spread misinformation on here. We've got that covered in spades. ;)

Post it between media tags.

Good to hear on Kies, though.  It's great to see a small company that stands behind their product!

I don't even know that I've ever seen .340 Weatherby for sale.  Makes the .458 SOCOM look positively cheap.

Those fools look like some real winners...

King of England...good to see ya!

That's pretty cool. I had no idea that stock even existed.

Correct.

It was a long shot at best. Looks like I'm going to be breaking out the machine tools.

They're great folks. I am a customer. Should I ever need another safe, I'll call them again. As to the delivery fee, it's worth it - especially if your move includes any stairs. It's way cheaper than sending folks to the ER.

    These two statements are really important, and provide some clarity in this argument that should be carefully considered.   As has been said many times here before, "statists are gonna state." It's the nature of the beast.  All three of our branches of government are guilty of power grabbing.  This isn't a new thing.  It's been happening since the very beginning of our country.  It's expanded under republican leadership.  It's expanded under democratic leadership.  It's expanded under non-partisan guises simply because it's the government thing to do.  People don't go to Washington to reign in the government.  Even if they talk "small government," they go to Washington because they think they know better than everyone else how to run it.  They're going to grab power where they can...all of them.   There are things that the average American should be concerned about.  Warrantless surveillance, drone strikes, no-knock raids and gun confiscation all qualify as things to be concerned about.  Some of them not simply because they violate our "rights", but also because we're better than that and ought to be asking harder questions instead of taking the easy way out.  BUT, there's still a gulf of separation between where we are now, and a drone killing someone without oversight on American soil or the government going door to door in Connecticut and grabbing peoples' guns.    Perspective matters, and we have to keep that in mind to avoid be marginalized as "tinfoil hatters."  There's a lot of distance between where we are today and needing load up our magazines.  Unfortunately, when our rhetoric focuses on hanging politicians from the yardarm we neglect the most basic action that our founding fathers gave us to take back control.    Vote.  Get out there and get involved.  Blog about it.  Speak about it in the media.  Talk to your neighbors in your community.  Don't let the big guys control the dialogue simple because of their size.  If the internet has given mankind one thing, it has given voice to the common man in ways it's never happened before.  Don't squander that voice.   The vast majority of our members on this forum are here because of their love of guns.  But remember, shots fired in anger will change this American experiment in ways that cannot be undone.  Your life will not be the same.  You won't go home to suburbia and get on with your life.  What follows won't resemble what was.   There may come a day when armed conflict comes again to our shores - even from within. But, we're a long way from that day.  And, our actions today can prevent that day from coming.    You have more power than any citizen in the world has ever had.  People are giving their lives worldwide right now for just a taste of the power that we take for granted.  Go out there and use it!

I've got a little project going on, and am looking for a particular tool.  Does anyone have a KAC SR-25 URX Barrel Nut Wrench - PN: 23383?   Note that this is different than the SR-15 tool for the 11 prong barrel nuts.

Let someone with the right equipment handle it. Tritium is a beta emitter that you don't want to inhale or otherwise ingest if you accidentally break a vial.

Have you got a GitHub account? I screwed around with several version control systems over the years - everything from small self hosted packages up to TFS. There's a learning curve to get, but it's good and is about as close to free as you can get.

Make sure and give us an update when they catch this guy!

AWS is the way to go if you're interested in managing the box yourself.  It's cost effective.  They even have a free tier.   That said, if you've got questions about whether or not you've got the skills to self-host, semi-dedicated, managed hosting is cheaper than it's ever been.

It's Friday.

This thread is on awfully thin ice...

I really like the aggressive drop point on that blade!
