So Frankling county CHL turn time is 1 day, on a holiday weekend? WTF. They took 59 days for mine and I almost expired when renewing.

Wife walked in Friday at 7:40am, walked out at 7:50am said it was 5 total minutes, for an 8am appointment. Today the sherrifs office called and said it's done? WTF??

I mean that is awesome, but why did it take 59 days for mine and 1 for hers? Is it because with her profession she has to get her record checked every year and it had already been done vs. me with an OVI that was barely 3 years old when I went to renew?

Cuz that is insane! But that means next weekend, GUN SHOPPING YAY!!

Mine was a 24 hr turnaround also. Franklin co.

Assuming the trigger on the UMP 40 is as horrible as the 45. Thought I broke the damn thing first time I shot it. 

 

 

 

Got my M3x light in today.

Nice setup! Love the light. I agree, not a fan of the UMP subguns. I'll stick with the MP5.

Just goofing around. Wanted to see what a build costs, in general. Used AR15partsfinder.com, and then searched amazon.com. Obviously can beat prices and/or shipping at gunshows and some gunshops.

But in general, approximately $650 for parts, $100 for shipping.

Shipping is generally cheaper at amazon.com, but some parts are higher priced.

And with careful watching and searching, most all of the prices can be found cheaper yet.

No sights calculated.

Thanks, now If I can just find a sugar mama to buy me the KAC front sight, then it is time to start my Mk12 Mod 0.

 

 

Havn't shot the MP5... yet. Come on down.

I think we're both in search for one of those, lol. I'll have to stop on down for sure. Maybe next month!?! I'll be heading down to OPOTA in Oct.

Palmetto keeps having everything you need but the lower deals for like 499. Then lowers can be had for 80-100

Think we are going to plan a day of drills range day on the 29th. No just blasting we are going to run it like a class and put some work in.
