like dsj said, I am surprised about the kimber remarks, My neighbor bought one and it is a great gun. maybe because its over 8 years old and they aren't as good now? I only have one 1911, A Para USA Officers elite. I hear many not so good things about them to, but mine has been flawless after...

That is a great story Joe, Thanks so much for posting. I took my cousin who was visiting from Holland to the range and we had a blast. He was really looking forward to shooting a AR15 so I brought one of my Rifles .223 Wylde, One of my AR pistols in 300 blackout, and my 1911 .45 cal. he had a...

All my answers have been given already. I haven't had any problems with the MecGar or McCormick. I need to buy some Wilson Combat mags too I don't have to pay for shipping from Wilson.....I drive there and buy them in person. I live about 45 minutes from Wilson Combat. All my 1911 mag's are 7...

My suppressor took 8 months to get, but I've been told that if I get another one, it will get to me a lot sooner because I have already gone thru the process with the 1st one, & the suppressor company has all the info it needs for the 2nd one. I came close to buying another one, two actually...

Thanks for the update Mike. I tried a bump fire stock once and it was fun, when you could get it to shoot at "full auto" speed. But I have an artificial elbow in my left arm and it wasn't strong enough to keep the muzzle rise down. Sounds like a great day at the range

I like the color too, mine are all black. At 1st glance I thought it had a 5 lb trigger pull, not that it weighed 5lbs. that's light. I've been looking at the echo trigger for my latest build but I used a carbon fiber lower and it says in the fine print you can't put that trigger in a polymer or...

I stop there every time I go to kansas city. They have many kinds of cheeses, jams, and the ghost pepper jerky is right at the edge of my maximum hotness level. My daughter & her fiancee eat stuff way hotter than I can. they're still working on getting my hotness level up.

this has been a great thread. I have learned a lot & have a new pepper jam recipe too!. Thanks for starting it. not a topic I would expect to see on here, but it's a great one. Today after telling my daughter about this thread, she asked me if I wanted to try some pepper x.....and i said heck...

Thanks Mike ! I will be making some of this jam soon!

I need to find some hatch green chili jam! I had the best grilled cheese sandwich ever tonight. It has gouda cheese, bacon, thin sliced green apples, & hatch green chili jam on sourdough bread. I would never have ordered a grilled cheese with apple slices or green hatch chili jam on it.... but...

I love Flatiron peppers! I don't like the really hot stuff like "I can't feel my face" My favorites are Dark & Smokey, Asian blends, 4 pepper blend. Once you've tried these, you won't ever buy red pepper from the store again. I make my own chili seasoning and taco seasoning with Dark & Smokey...

I love side charging uppers, I used one on my 1st AR build, and on every build since then. even my AR12 semi auto mag fed shotgun & my BCA .22LR AR have side charging uppers. Side charging uppers are especially useful on rifles since you do not have to reach up under scope to charge it like on...

thats about the same time i had the same problem, but only once. I have bought 5 or 6 more side charging upper receivers since then without any problems.

Another piece I would like to share doubles the price of the lower parts kit, but i put it on all my AR builds too. I'ts called " The Bolt Lever" , I use it instead of the bolt catch that comes in a LPK. unlike others similar to it, it's one solid piece. It won't loosen or come apart like others...

i haven't watched video yet but im guessing there isn't much difference between the two. since most AR parts are all milspec, it really doesn't matter which brand you get. and paying more doesn't always mean "better". I have always been told there's 2 main parts to buy to make any AR better. The...
