    Sacrificed another innocent P-Mag working on new stippling designs and patterns.

    I'm convinced that the standard, classic dots & dimples is not only easier but best in all around feel, function and so forth.

    I get picked on for the ones I use. But you can't argue with the fact that they become sticky. No chance of em slipping out of the hand.

    Ordered a 300 BO upper to play with. I guess the next purchase will be a suppressor.

    Good for you!
    Nate was gracious enough to let me shoot some , and honestly, supers sound like a nail gun and subs sound like a staple gun. Without a suppressor, 300blk is just a 30-30 or x39, but with a can, it's everything the MP5 should've been. Awesome!

    I've done 2 of my personal guns and 5 for other people so far but have had a few requests for different design or formats if you will, Dragons Skin and Tree Bark for example. So I've been experimenting buy in unimpressed although, my wife likes the soft gentle tree bark which means her G42 is gonna get it no doubt...

    Yeah Dan. Dazee let me shoot one of his a couple of years ago and it's been in the back of my mind ever since.

    You should post some pics, I like tree bark but didn't know that I knew anyone who could do it.

    Dan this is the example piece I show n tell at my local gun shop for those who are interested. Not sure how well these pics express the texture and such but none the less...

    Sold a rifle, also probably lost my friendship with TennJeep.
    He was meeting up with a member to sell him a rifle. I was joining them to look at a EOTech that TennJeep had and he had wanted me to bring my rifle for him to check out as well. He ended up liking mine and while it was nice to sell the rifle I kind of felt like a asshole for kind of snaking the sale from him.
    But TennJeep was awesome and just wanted his friend to get a rifle he really liked.
    Don't see to many people like that these days.

    You owe me a beer, so we can still be friends. Thanks for the kind words.

    I had a good day at the range with two friends. One of them purchased/pieced together a very nice rifle. Sold some AR parts and then listed a couple complete AR's for sale. Someone hurry up and buy them so I can fund an open gun!

    Glory be, got the last of the cabinets sprayed and installed in the shop, 45 boxes in total hung and set. Now I need to build three counter tops. I have three built and set.

    This is the reloading room cabinets with the shooting bench / window.

    Ordered a few WC parts to get my 1911 up and running properly.
    Also learned from a member over the weekend that my Bolt on one of my ARs was in need of some TLC so I ordered a rebuild kit and ordered a whole new bolt just to have around.
    And got some rubber Talon grips for my Shield ordered too.

    MadeSIC and TennJeep: I'll buy you both a beer (or three)! I had a great time shooting with you both, and went home with a sweet rifle. Special thanks to TennJeep for going out of his way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted (and tricked out with a few extras as well). I just ordered a 1-4 scope, a mount, and some p-mags for it. Can't wait to get it sighted in and put it through its paces. Name the time and place, and I'll bring the beers! Some great people on this forum!

    I got word from a buddy that Powder Valley received some Titegroup and even had 8# jugs for about $145ish. By the time I got to their website, it was gone. Looks like plenty of HS-6 an Longshot are in stock.

    I did notice that they are carrying a generic (bulk/imported) powder by the name of Shooters world. Powders are making a slow comeback, but just in case there are any folks looking for 'something' this stuff looks promising. They supply some decent load data and have ranked their various powders on a burn rate chart.

    Link to Shooters world product page: http://www.shootersworldsc.com/propellants#burn

    Just in case someone forgot the link to Powder Valley: http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/

    Finished up putting together 3 Christmas AR's for the family. Next week get to have my parts replaced, just wanted kids to have a good year. After next week will be wondering if I can still shoot 1500?

    I sold 2 guns yesterday, so now I've got enough cash in hand to buy an open gun. The hard part is waiting on a good deal to come along and not just jumping at the first one I see that I like.
