Actually, we voted for a do-over and subsequently pulled like 10 more tickets. Jbot actually pulled his own

If price is your only motivation, a Maverick 88 would be even cheaper

What time are you doing this? I might be able to come out if I get off work on time

Because that makes sense. It's not about you being able to stand up and having the balls to say something. If you can't see how they are different then you obviously have a personal vendetta. Both ringo and exarch are immature, have temper problems and won't take advice when people try to help. Ninjachic had taken advice to heart and acted upon it. The only similarity I see is a high post count. You're taking the people most recently disliked and comparing them to someone you dislike to garner support.

Salt is a pretty good preservative. I'd prefer just that with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.

I'll finally be able to get that stalking merit badge

Haha, I thought he was calling me out. You can get 80% lowers from DSA for like $25 (at least that was the price years ago) but I see what you are saying. Time, effort, and a $20 tap make the price difference not worth it (especially without anno).

You mention a budget but I am not sure what all needs to be contained in it. I would strongly advise following flounder's advice. I will go a little against the grain here in my recommendation to meet your budget though; I think the Stevens 200 would be ideal. It is the cheaper line of the Savage which has been recommended here plenty, but it will be at budget with the rifle alone (same with any rem 700 action rifle). OTD it can be had for $300, then you can spend some money on nice optics ($200-$300) and then money is left over for rings, base, optic covers and bipod/sand bags and you are at $700 even.

I feel like you have animosity towards building a billet lower from scratch. Either that or I misread and its towards the positive press this is garnering. If its against the DIY creation, why? Its not too much more expensive (barring your time is worth $0) than any other billet lower, registration is unnecessary, significant customization and improvements can be made without paying extra and its really more of a hobby than anything else. I think the same argument can be made against billet lowers with even more validity, at least DIY ones have more positives. The issue it raises is the ease of which that can be produced. Currently you need to have some skill or determination (even laminate firearms take a significant amount of time investment to create). With these, all you would have to do is push a button and walk away; no set-up block, micrometers, knowledge or dedication.

That is what I am afraid of personally. We have a lot of freedom right now in terms of personal manufacture and development. I would hate to see that get regulated away to prevent people from going to their nearest buddy with a $30,000 machine and getting a quality, untraceable gun on the cheap. Bitani: I don't understand what you mean about the ammunition. I'm not sure it would be any more cost effective than simply reloading like people do now. You would still have to purchase primers and power and press it together.

Edit: Double post

Yup, dumb. They have Solidworks models showing weak points but they didn't want to do the test with ABS to see it fail? I don't know what the purpose of the test was. They had to have known the printer works and the model is good, they could have referenced the spare lower if they had doubts. I think they are trying to drum up business because ABS models have already been done and shown to fail, thats probably why they went with the 5.6vround (to make it appear that its fully functioning). If they wanted to do something cutting edge, print a metal lower and watch it work. Maybe I'm just being a pessimist, but I really don't see anything interesting or revolutionary here. It smells of a business move and trying to get investors. I can't knock them for it, I just think they should have done something more show-y to grab people's attention

I don't even know where to begin with the errors. I am 99% sure this is the group that had their printer revoked once the supplier found it what it was going to be used for. I will say this though: the failure was more user error than anything

Don't forget, Woot is $5 shipping all the time!

That's why I got the wrx, I wanted the warrantee and the knowledge that no one else beat on it. I have my bikes for a real adrenaline rush, the wrx makes the boring commute more fun. I'm curious though, what did you personaly not like about the wrx that made you decide against it?

What is that; a Kia, Hyundai, Daewoo something else? You're looking in the wrong country for a performance car!

Magpul recommends against it and says so on their site, citing "heat issues" and that is why only a hand guard height it available (shorter). I don't know how it would work in practice but I am sure enough people have bought them and tried it out anyway so I will defer to actual experience

This is so broad of a list I can't take it seriously. I looked for any evidence on the link and all I could find was a youtube video that was uploaded in 2009. I think this is this is just fallout from the initial Obama election

I am more curious what is going to happen to all the people. Will Rick become the new governor and move everyone to the prison (its an almost ideal place to be) or will someone take over the governor's spot while the group heads back to the prison or... We will probably have to wait till next season to find all that out though

What barrel length is yours?

NSFW Nothing I haven't seen before. Van Wilder 2: Rise of Taj

That was a terrible episode, nothing happen that wasn't set up from the one before.

I think Rob Halford is the name you are looking for. You know, the guy that had a voice range of 6 octaves!
