You should have cancelled the order while on the phone and continued to shop elsewhere. That's ridiculous to be waiting on processing for 2 weeks, it's not like you're ordering 30rd mags

Happy BDay!

Bad call, had some new troll activity lately so a poor assumption on my part. Apologies and Edit: To answer your initial question, I'm a twisty lover and planning a trackday or 2 this season as well as running the OhioMile. Got a big Ninja cause I'm a big fella but it suits me well and enjoy every mile it gives me.

not sure if we met on the last dreamride but plan to do it again this year

Sad that a founding sport is being abolished from their program. Where would the Olympics be without fierce Greco Roman man hugging?

Ah, my old stompin' grounds. There's several points of interest there. My Dad worked the little substation on the southside of the river on Rangeline Rd for years back in the 70's, he used to take me mushroom hunting in the trails between the falls and the old water turbine silo. We would fill a gallon bucket with huge morels every season. Canoed all over that area as a kid/teen with him too. When he died, I planted a spruce tree on the point of the eastern most cliff top with some of his ashes and I also buried my dog out there. Love that area, tons of fond memories. The road along Stillwater river is Owens Rd. It is absolutely beat to shit and not much fun to ride. Rough, chunked, gravel and leaf covered....but still worth a look once in a while to remind me why I hate it Used to bridge jump by the old church into Painter's Creek. My folks bought a few old rundown scout cabins behind the church that we tore down and repurposed the lumber onto our barn and outbuildings. My first squirrel hunting experience was in the woods behind the graveyard by that church too. Stayed many a weekend in the old Brethren cottage on Owens there along the Stillwater river, and if you walk Painter's Creek southwest from the cottage there's an area we called "the flats" where its only a foot or 2 deep and virtually a smooth flat section that 6" indian craws can be found by the pound if you have a seine handy to scoop em up. We used to catch huge channel catfish out on the island where Painter Creek feeds into the Stillwater too, but haven't fished that area in almost 20 years. I like Falknor Rd for a short easy cruise to take in the old stack stone wall that borders the roadside thats well over 150 years old. Some cool stuff all around that area but the riding isnt chock full of twisties, its sort of broken up amongst long chipsealed stretches.

Typical to my nature, I'm probably overcooking the idea. I was considering the offset BUIS to enable the quickest change possible between my Truglo RGB and iron sights, since I had seen the offset setups and thought what if my optic was shattered and rendered it useless to sight through, which was almost enough to justify having it. You're all probably right and I should just opt for the MI & Matech flips I originally wanted. 2nd guessing myself is usually a bad habit, but it does hold me back from impulse buys and saved me time to time.....it seems I rely more on the latter of the 2

I really wanted the MI front flip ( gasblock height ) and the Matech rear flip, but offset from the optic. Didn't want anything fixed that I would have to sight through the optic, and standard flip ups would be ok yet take some time to flip up and reacquire the target. I guess I'm not completely stuck on rapid transition, just really prefer the idea. I'm with ya here, I'm not dead set against it but really rather a solid mount for ANY sight Close.....but you're a couple zero's shy though That's the fore sight I'm wanting in conjunction with the Matech rear. But neither have the RT option without additional offset mounts, and that's where I'm on the fence. I really prefer the offset BUIS so I can have quicker acquisition without sighting through the optic, but it's not a "must have" idea......still weighing out whether it's worth the time/trouble refitting the weapon to acommodate the RTS. Hoping someone here had experience or a current setup equipped with a gasblock mount

Sorry, but YES I'm still on the hunt for BUIS and trying to rationalize whether I should go rapid transition flip-ups OR offset adapters with standard high quality flip-ups. Was going to order a set of cheapies from Amazon or SG, but I'm having trouble finding RTS assemblies that acommodate a gas block that is lower than the upper rail, which drove me to search for the 45deg offset adapters so I could mount the taller front flippy. While there are a few other options to make the problem go away, which scenario would be best for my wallet and not compromise quality? Logic tells me the less mounting points/parts, the better, just for peace of mind in more of a stout mount. What would you do in this scenario? Swap out the gas block with rail height version? Is there a short riser available that would allow just enough lift to parallel the sights to the bbl? Haven't found any but, there again more points to fail if the weapon is dropped or struck, so I'm leary with this idea if it is an available item. Quadrail the forearm to allow for parallel sight mounting? ( probably the simplest cure and may be the direction I take, but I'm new to this AR stuff and I haven't researched how much it would affect the accuracy if the quad floats TOO freely ) Anyone else us RTBUIS with this style gasblock?

Congrats! Looks like a fun do-all go-anywhere ride

Last seasons finale on now, then all new blood, guts, and glory @ 9!

Damn, checking cabin/chalet/house prices throughout Hocking and it is gonna be costly unless we get up to 25 riders to throw in on a lodge. All the lodges I'm finding are a 2 night minimum at $800-$900 per night which is close to hotel pricing per person IF we're at capacity, but it also limits us to the capacity of the lodge and sending all others to fend for themselves. I wish there was a place big enough to put up 40-50 riders to make sure we'd get most/all of the expected ( overnight ) turnout. Is anyone else researching options? Hotel may be a better bet so we can all stay together at a reasonable price? Thoughts? Concerns? Ideas?

Happy BDay Hobs!

I haven't done much research on this yet, but now that you mention it I need to get things in gear. I'll do some web surfing and see what I can come up with. Figured if we could all reserve some cabins in a group, it would be best so more could attend the overnighter and keep us all close quartered for after ride bs sessions and easier to group up for rides. I'll be in touch man

You could be right, I hope you're wrong though

My unc is gonna pass on this, plans to wait things out until it all cools down. Glws

Voucher - This quad is nice for its age and well cared for. Somebody help give Oldschool some garage space back! Great guy to deal with folks, so no bs to worry about with what you're buying

Nice choice! I love my Springfield

:confused:There's a tremor in the force:confused: hmm, maybe :welcome: ....maybe?....

He wasn't looking for a rancher, although it may be a cheaper way for him to get into one then add the tacticools himself. We were at 3g Tactical the other night and met a guy who had a new DPMS Oracle shipped in from a gunbroker seller where he paid twice what we did for ours just 4 months ago. Considering the current gouging going on, I guess it wasn't too hateful at $1300

I thought you got the runny baby poops after eating Skyline or Goldstar? I dont like either in the least, would rather home made knife n fork chili made right.

He was hatin' on gunshow prices a few weeks back and he's still stuck on last summer's pricetags around $700-$900. Dealers at the shows ask ridiculous amounts lately. Let me run it by him and see if he's interested.....nice piece imo. If only I were in the market

Dude! Coulda swore you were white Nice flesh surpressor anyway

Damn. He's already passed on a few new ones that were in the $1800 range so I will see what he has to trade ya - until then, glws!
