  1. Here is my Springfield Saint AR pistol in 5.56 up for sale. There’s quite the story behind this one, so buckle up and let’s go for a ride to talk about it… I bought this AR pistol at a local gun store, and it was in pretty bad shape when I bought it. The anodizing was almost gone completely, handguard was cracked and broken. It obviously had a rough life with its previous owner. Now I’m the type of “rescue” person, and I only bought it so I could get it into better shape. I didn’t really need another AR pistol but it was a good price on it. Before I did anything with it, I took it shooting. And daggone it, the thing run pretty good. No hiccups or jams, light recoil, it was just a good little AR pistol. I replaced the broken handguard with a Troy Battlerail free float and rattle canned it in what turned out to be a pretty good looking blend of green & tan. It looked really good. Looking back on it, I should have been happy with that and just stopped there. But nooooo, anyone that knows me knows that’s not where this story ends. I never really cared for those Troy rails (hence why it was laying in my parts box forever), the slots in the rails are a sorta proprietary slot that isn’t mlok compatible and mounting a light isn’t easy. I thought this would be a really cool looking Mk18 ‘ish looking “clone”…. So I took the Troy rail off and ordered a really solid DD Mk18 copy made by ohhunt. A buddy of mine had one of these rails and it’s a really nice one, almost identical in every way to the DD version of course without the DD markings. While I had it apart, I stripped down the first paint job, and hit the upper and lower with a coat of primer and a flat Krylon camo brown. Having said all that, every time I paint anything I tape off things that aren’t supposed to be painted extensively. I guess because I didn’t stop working on this “project” when good enough was good enough, somewhere around this point I think I made the gun mad at me. It did not want to take this brown paint at all and gave me fits. After several light coats and plenty of time to cure between them, I eventually got it looking pretty good and re-installed the barrel and new Mk18 quad rail. Took it to the range and it still runs like a top. For a 10.5” barrel, this one is pretty darn accurate with the fixed front sight post and Magpul flip up rear sight. But at the end of this rescue project, I still really don’t have a need for it. I thought for a few weeks now that I’d just load it up and leave it in my truck as a truck gun, but I never liked the idea of leaving one in there unattended all the time, and just being honest here I’m to lazy to say I’ll carry it in the house at night. So with that idea out the window, I thought I’d list it up for sale hopefully going to a good home where it’s needed. I’m selling it as you see it in the pics, without a brace/magazine/muzzle device, but the price I feel is cheap enough to justify this. I’m asking $450 for this complete pistol (minus the brace/magazine/muzzle device as previously mentioned). I feel like braces and muzzle devices are very user preference items & magazines are dirt cheap if we don’t already have 20-30 of them laying around. I’m located in Morristown but willing to meet up within reason. This one is no beauty queen & won’t be winning any “pretty gun” contests, but it is a good solid quality gun that runs great and will protect you if needed to, or just give you a great time at the range thumping the berms with lead.
  2. Do you know the date of manufacture?
  3. Hey guys and gals, I'm looking to buy a rifle length (~12") old school style free float tube...no pic rail on top just the smooth tube with barrel nut assembly for a heavy barrel varminter build I'm working on...just thought I'd check to see if anyone had a used one laying around before I order a new one? Pic for example, doesn't have to be identical
  4. You’re very welcome. This one is pending sold now to a local ham in my radio club, but feel free to message me if you need any help getting going!
  5. No, this one doesn't include a power supply for use in the house. It being a 50w mobile though, it only requires an 11amp 12v power supply for use in the house. However, my advice if you're just getting into it...get at least a 23-30amp power supply so you can run a 100w HF rig in the house down the road as you progress into the hobby. As you do grow in the hobby and get more radios, having a decent power supply up front makes things easier down the road. I have upgraded my home power supply more times that I care to admit over the 12-13 years I've been doing it. I finally just broke down and get a Aston 50amp rack mount powersupply which set me back about $600 but it lets me power lots of radios at once (transmit on one at a time). For a good beginner power supply, I really like the Powerwerx 30amp and it's relatively inexpensive for what it is (smaller home station). I'll link it below. I used one of these for years and while it is a switcher (a linear power supply is better), it's still a really good one. https://powerwerx.com/ss30dv-desktop-dc-power-supply-powerpole?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22365243086&gbraid=0AAAAAD_u17cCa22Ttx8QSuiXaID20m9OV&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVjf3oEY4kr22DqDCFqjRqk2Qt_8LdR8tDgskMOuvZPUVK5P-v8c1nMaAnOOEALw_wcB
  6. Dang, idk how I didn't see this on here. If the deal falls though, please let me know.
  7. EDIT: now sold pending meet tomorrow Bump, surely someone needs a good bolt rifle??? I'm kinda low key wanting a 7.62x39 semi auto that takes AK mags but isn't an AK...think like IWI Galil ACE or even a PSA KS47 if anyone has something like that. Of course would also consider higher end ARs, Glocks, Springfield Prodigy, Echelons, M&Ps as trades with the values being equal'ed
  8. Such a great deal!! Steveo is a great seller too, I love the 11.5 BCM I got from him
  9. Bump, will consider trades…
  10. Bump, will consider trades…
  11. If you'll ship (I'll cover shipping fees), I'll take both the Benchmade Nimravus knives.... I can send paypal
  12. It has three modes. High power is 50w, mid power is 20w and low power is 5w
  13. I really need a small carry 9mm...Hellcat, Hellcat Pro, Glock 26 or 43x or 48, S&W Shield Plus something along those lines...
