    Barrel Dimpling - the Why and the How.

    What's funny, is that according to some, that never happens, dimpling the barrel is stupid and apparently ruins the barrel. I mean, just imagine... What if that full auto gun went down while the zombie hoard was closing in on you? [emoji4] The very first picture in this thread is the reason I...

    Sionics Weapon Systems Lower Receiver - Initial Impressions

    I just didn't want to break the stakes on the nut and then have to re-stake.

    Sionics Weapon Systems Lower Receiver - Initial Impressions

    More or less, yes. Plus, using the front pivot pin or a straight clevis to act as a slave in and hold the detent as you reinstall the new takedown pin.

    Sionics Weapon Systems Lower Receiver - Initial Impressions

    They're both very similar to the ALG. Definitely heavier than I'm used to, but good enough that I'm not going to swap it out.

    Yeah, that does tend to happen! Something about that whole gas impingement system thing? I dont know...

    Barrel Dimpling - the Why and the How.

    When your local LE has to use a junk upper on duty, because it's that or nothing at all, you fix it and hope it gets put to good use one day. Great example of what can go wrong with something as simple as a gas block install. Nitride barrel, cheapo low profile gas block with cup tipped...

    Sionics Weapon Systems Lower Receiver - Initial Impressions

    For those of you who are unfamiliar with Sionics Weapon Systems, I thought I'd put up a mini-review with my initial impressions of a complete lower I just received from them. I ordered the lower during their 4th of July sale and it arrived yesterday. Yes, it took a little while. The reasons are...

    We've got an annual check up approaching. Thanks for the advice. By the way, what is your opinion on the expiration dates?

    What To Do Before EMS Arrives

    Yep. And we have to keep multiples on hand for our child with a peanut allergy. One at home, one at school, plus another for travel.

    80% Lower Build PArty

    10-4. I should have said, "wouldn't want to" instead of "can't" sell them.

    80% Lower Build PArty

    Correct. I just wouldn't want any lowers with my info floating around, nor would I want to appear to be manufacturing lowers for sale.

    80% Lower Build PArty

    Yeah, those guys really got their ass in a sling. But, they were also in the business of selling 80% lowers and made a sport of pissing off the ATF. You can only flip them off for so long, before they bust you in the nose. That being said, you're 100% correct.

    80% Lower Build PArty

    Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?! I gotta admit that an 80%, cleanly machined with a mill and refinished, has a real appeal. Only problem is, that you can't sell them next time things get stupid...

    80% Lower Build PArty

    It's tempting. But I honestly think I'm too much of a perfectionist to be happy with one. Maybe if we had access to a cnc mill or something?

    80% Lower Build PArty

    That is probably the best looking 80% lower I've ever seen. Nice work!
