  1. Making serialized lowers involves much more paperwork and limits your customers.

    The upper can easily stay the same. All they would have to do is machine something in place of the mag well that can't be changed. Would make it totally useless to ARs.

    True. And thats what they have done. But the price difference is $200. I know AR lowers have jumped lately in price, but I much rather have the versatility of the lower.

  2. Now that i have seen the full site. I see what you mean. There is no way the full bow could ever be an AR lower. Guess it just seems stupid to me to advertise it as swappable with an AR upper but not sell it with a serialized lower. I would have saved the money on development and building a dedicated lower and outsourced a serialized lower. Thats the whole selling point to me.

  3. Well genius, when you buy a new AR lower it carries a serial number filed with the manufacturing company as an AR lower, you fill out a 4437 and pass a background check. When you buy a crossbow you walk out of the store with it.

    No company would manufacture a crossbow made of a functioning AR lower, the atf would skull-fuck the janitor, the CEO and everyone inbetween and the liability of the civil suits stemming from felons buying a crossbow and pinning it to an upper (which is not a weapon and can technically be purchased by a felon) and shooting people would bankrupt the company.

    I know its late but shit dude....use your head.

    Thats why I asked. What would be the point of buying complete if the AR lower would be useless as an AR lower? Plus you can buy stripped lowers to assemble. I don't see how its stupid to ask a legit question.

  4. You can get them complete as a crossbow or as a upper for your existing AR. Works the same as a any AR platform.

    Made by PSE. There is not human I know that can cock this thing. You definately would have to use the crank that comes with it.

    100 yards, easily... Not in this lifetime. The bolt is heavier than a 50 BMG round. The amount of drop at 100 yards there is no easy about it.

    I have shot both versions and yes kiddies they make this for a military version as well and yes they are currently deployed and in use.

    Thats why I asked. If it works the same as any other AR platform, wouldn't the lower need to be registered as a firearm? And why is 100 yds out of question? I've killed deer at 60 with my current old ass Browning crossbow. Dropped them where they stand will 100 grain mechanical broadheads (then add on whatever the bolt weighs). Guess I figured with the huge advances in bows since then I thought a 100 yds wouldn't be too hard.

  5. Mango, I'm sure the complete version uses a lower that isn't compatible with a rifle upper. If it was and you pinned an upper to it you would immediately be a felon for manufacturing a firearm without permit.

    So if I buy a complete AR lower, then later an upper and put the 2 together, I'm a felon? I thought people did this all the time?

  6. So with this you would just need to buy an upper to have an AR? Am I correct in my thinking? So by that, you would have to do a backround check to buy this cuz the AR lower is considered the "firearm" part of the gun. I don't currently have an AR, but this might be an interesting route to take.

  7. The GoPro will handle the vibration just fine. I've got a Hero2 and got a Hero3 for Christmas. I've used the 2 for everything from track days to boating to off roading to hunting. Haven't broke it yet. Lol

  8. I bought a car detailing on there ($89) and tried and tried to schedule it. Couldn't get ahold of the shop. Then all the sudden got an email saying the shop # had changed. Called to set an appointment and of course, all book to outside the groupon expiration date. Emailed groupon and now have a $89 credit to use with them..... and thats the last I'm spending......

  10. I am not on any bandwagon, and thinking for myself is exactly what I did. I voted "hesitantly", but many didnt because they were disgusted by the choices and I can't blame them. The Independents will never have a chance, because there are too many voters that are dependent. The Democrips and Rebloodlicans are running the show, too much money backing them and because of that the Independents are pretty much hosed. Haven't had a President not affiliated with a party since George Washington, and I sadly don't ever see that changing in my lifetime. This country needs a serious enema in the Statehouse, so much corruption and evil doing going on.

    You do have a good point with the too much money thing.... Ya know a good chunk of that is your money. Something like $12 mill for the top 2 parties. And its funny, the electorial college was set up so that the rich couldn't spread thier name and crush the little guy. And now they have turned it into the exact opposite. Ironic. ....

  11. Not voting or voting for a candidate other than Romney or Obama, is exactly why Obama won again.....just sayin. This wasnt the election to vote for the obvious best choice for this country, more like the lesser of 2 evils.

    And that is the problem in this country. Everyone gets that mindset and it narrows it down to the closest 2. Instead of everyone voting for the one that they think would be the best for our country, they vote for the one that is slightly for them that has a chance to win. Stop jumping on the bandwagon and think for yourself. Too bad most of the voting public is too ignorant to do some research and vote for on their own beliefs. The other problem is common ballots. Indiana only had Romney/Obama on the ballet. Ohio had at least 6. Can't win an election if your name isn't on half the ballots.

  12. Have a good friend that has a house in Columbia. It is a pretty awesome town. Lake Murray is a big bonus. Tugged my boat down last summer for a week on the lake. Always had fun there. Rode the bike down multiple times. The Dragon is 4 hrs away by highway, but there are awesome roads around the area.

  13. I'm no gun expert but have a Rem 700 in .223 with the stock 4x12 scope. I really need to upgrade the scope but can put down a groundhog at 300 yds with it. I've taken 3 deer with it on crop damage permits. It does the job and fairly cheap. I went .223 for cheap ammo and didnt want too much power. It is way to flat up in this corner and didn't like the idea of a round going too far. One thing I remember is the Rem and Savage in 223 had different barrel twists. Do some research. The right one will come.
