  1. Thanks for the responses everyone. I think I'm going to start by taking Jason's advice and actually try to shoot a couple of different ones before I buy. All of the one's I looked at look good. Maybe I need 5 or 6 of these...
  2. Okay, I've got the bug for a suppressor. I think I want one for the 5.56, with my thinking being that I can use it for my AR and for my STG 556. I hear lots of people talk about Yankee Hill, but my dealer here in Knoxville seems to really like AWC. I've also looked at the Gemtechs online. I'm sure there are lots of others I'm missing. For you guys in the know, what do I need to look for? As a follow up question, does anyone have any experience with the integral suppressors, like this one- Amphibian S .22LR : Suppressor : AWC Systems Technology Any gotcha's with the integrals?
  3. A couple of good ideas. I'm sure I'll play around with the design and try to make it more efficient. Thanks for the suggestions.
  4. Great story, I can't wait until my son gets old enough to go out shooting with me.
  5. Sounds like good deal to me, assuming everything has been taken care of. That's a couple of hundred dollars worth of dies alone.
  6. I think I like the brown, but you may need to send it to me for further evaluation.
  7. With all due respect, I don't think that's what the thread is saying at all. I think it's saying that TN put an unnecessary restriction on background checks in order to gather more revenue then weren't able to do their part of the job because of the weather. Were it not for the extra (and unnecessary) layer of government that TN had to add in there would have been no issue with background checks and all of the "idiots" out there could have conducted their business (for $10 less per transaction). At least that's how I understood it.
  8. The bench is 55" x 20" x 34" high. I bought it from an estate sale several years back along with some other woodworking equipment. The manufacturer is WhiteGate. I did a google search and couldn't find a company website but did find several similar benches for sale, unfortunately none in TN.
  9. I did a search for this topic but didn't find anything, so if this topic has been beaten to death here blame the search engine, not me. Let's see your reloading set ups. I'm kind of new to it and I'd like to see some different approaches to the set up. I'll start. This is my reloading setup very shortly after a clean-up session. My case trimmer, scales and bullets are in the drawers of the bench. New and used brass is separated by caliber in the coffee cans to the left of the picture. The one thing I don't like about my current setup is having the uniflow so close to the press. I find that when I'm decapping spent brass it would be more convenient to not have to reach around the uniflow to drop the brass into the container.
  10. I skipped the gun show today because of the weather so I decided to address the clutter in my gun safe. I took a piece of scrap oak and some felt and spray adhesive and came up with this. I'm pretty happy with it. It slides in and out pretty easily and keeps my guns from laying all over each other.
  11. For you guys that went, were there any deals to be found on reloading supplies? I'm thinking of going tomorrow, but hate to spend the $10 to get in if the prices are higher than I'd end up paying at Graf's or Cabela's.
  12. Looking good. Who's her artist?

    That is exactly me too, except I don't own a RIA. I wouldn't mind having one, but that's a whole different story...
  14. Thanks Magic, I ordered the non-optics version in OD Green (20" barrel) from Bud's and am transferring through Ensley's. $982 with free shipping was hard to beat. I'll hopefully be able to put up some gun porn by the end of the week...
  15. Leroy, Ensley's is probably a good call. I've known Ray for a while and he's always taken care of me. I found them at Graf's, Midway and RCBS and the problem is that the shipping costs as much as the part. I guess I need to find some more stuff to buy.
  16. Unless the household commander has me otherwise engaged I'd like to meet up with you guys this time.
  17. This looks like it would be a great reference. Unfortunately it looks like it only works with Windows.
  18. I learned a valuable lesson this weekend. When you scrounge brass at the range make sure you check the primers to see if they are berdan or boxer. For what it's worth, a berdan primed round will break a decapping pin and bend a decapping rod in an RCBS die. I found replacement pins, anyone know where I can find a replacement rod around Knoxville?
  19. That's a good point. I actually just found that Rat Worx is selling the STG556 railed version with 5 30rd magazines for $1050.
  20. Smith, Where did you find the $1300 pricing for the E4? I'd like 20" in OD Green.
  21. Did you buy locally or through Bud's? Who has the best prices locally? I'm really wanting one of these now and I like ordering from Bud's, but I'd like to fondle one first (in a purely plutonic way, of course).
  22. Love it Cowtown. My CBOB is my favorite pistol, followed closely by my DW CCO. Now you need to dress her up with some of Sarge's grips.
  23. I saw that one too Magic. The benefits of the ammo ($80), the extra magazine ($25-30), and not having to ship to an FFL are just about enough to outweigh the classic arms package. Plus, I've been wanting to try my hand at building a lower for a little while and I've got a lower from my AR that I can use while I'm working on it. Didn't you have one of these? What were your thoughts on quality, etc?
  24. I've been intrigued by these for a while now. Found this deal yesterday. The whole package is cheaper than Cabela's sells the upper only, and the shipping is free. AR57 Upper Complete Package
