    SBR question / discussion.

    Yeah... I shouldn't have used the term "registered". It's "just" the 4473 that was filled out when I took possession. I order my lowers from Aero Precision, they send them to my local FFL, paperwork is filed, etc. I think I'll just skip the AR10 short barrel and skip the short .22 barrel. I...

    AR10 (.308) opinions for inexpensive shooter

    I need to slow down and not only read but comprehend what I'm reading. Somehow I got bolt gun out of your post when it's CLEARLY about an AR10. I wouldn't recommend Ruger's "AR-ish" rifles. My AR's are, generally speaking, all Aero Precision M5's and M4's with their uppers. I do what @budlight...

    SBR question / discussion.

    I'd add this though... if my lower is already registered, which is it is, why do I have to register it again. I know, I know... this isn't really a question...

    SBR question / discussion.

    Oh... derp... that makes sense. I can live with that. Does a .22LR (rimfire) require an SBR? Brownells sells a lower for an AR15 that converts it to a .22 rimfire. I have a long barrel version and it's a lot of fun. I'd like to try the short barrel version and put a can on it.

    SBR question / discussion.

    Yeah screw that. I have 3 other uppers, different calibers, with "normal" length barrels. I'm not going to dedicate a lower to a short barrel that'll probably shoot like crap anyway. Thanks for the answer though :D

    AR10 (.308) opinions for inexpensive shooter

    Have you looked at the Ruger American? I have one in .300BLK. I rebarreled it with a prefit barrel only because I wanted a 1:6 twist so I can shoot heavy bullets. For the price it has been a good rifle.

    SBR question / discussion.

    If I have an upper for an AR10 that has what the BATF calls a short barrel installed, how do I go about SBR'ing something that doesn't have a serial number? The lower has the s/n on it, not the upper.

    2 Wolves in 2 Days - Ontario

    NNE. I saw the tan butt end of what looked like a large cat a little west of Garwood last winter. 6-7 ish months ago. When I fly, I fly out of Calhoun county btw. I spend a lot of time on the back roads between home (up near Schulenburg), Garwood, and Edna. I have family in Edna and near...

    2 Wolves in 2 Days - Ontario

    I'm way down here in TX, about 90 miles inland from the coast. About 20 years ago (seems odd that it was that long ago) my ex wife's horse was killed. She sent photos of the horse asking people what they thought killed it. It had clear, parallel claw marks from its front shoulders, down the...

    Dark Day

    Not if you live and play near the border. It's not like it was in the 70's and 80's when they came, worked, sent money home, and when winter came they went back home and lived a good life. Once the cartels stole their homes and left them with very few options if they lived (gross over...

    Now I feel bad about bi... I mean complaining. I just got the ship notice and tracking for one of the three things I ordered. The most important one as a matter of fact.

    That's good to hear. Since I'm one of the people that order last weekend I can see that being a problem now that you pointed it out.

    I've got an order in with them. Paid with Amex. Not thru PayPal dot sucks. If I don't get a ship notice from them in another day or two I'll report it as fraud and get my money back. The order status is "pending". This is not a good time for sellers to have "pending" orders for very long.
