    Yep got another toy...S&W M&P 15X for $999.00 after rebate at the gun show. Doesn't have the M4 feed ramps but then again I'm not planning on firing full auto. So it doesn't bother me that much. Just something that is probably gonna slightly bug me. I am kicking my self in the ass though. A vendor had a slightly used 6920 for $1300.00. Well the show was kinda dead today. If I had managed to think about it for a minute, I probably could have walked in there today at about 4:30 and gotten it for $1000.00 to $1100.00 cash (I.e. no tax, no record). Oh well.

    So now my 6920 wont be so lonely. I think I'm going to save up for a ACOG and then take my EoTech and move it to the S&W. I'm also probably going to build a DYI flash light. Next project is to build an LMT. I don't know if I'm just going to order a completed upper and then a completed lower or build it from scratch. Though I do have to say that the new Masada that Magpull licensed to Bushmaster has very much so piqued my interest. It will be interesting to see how closely BM follows Magpulls specifications.

    Didn't know Manatee had a shooting range, though I play golf there a couple of times a year. What's it called?

    Supposedly the only 1000m range south of Oak Ridge, TN. They do class III shoots, and all sorts of stuff.

    Do you shoot wolf? Whats your shot groups like? ;)

    I've spent the last 4 years saving and scrimping. Now things are good enough that I can treat my self a bit. But don't worry. I'm sure life will manage to bitch slap me some how in the future. So I enjoy it while I can and prepare for the rainy day.

    Thats a specter SOP 3 point sling.

    But will you shoot wolf through your rifle? There is only one answer. Choose wisely. ;)

    Were it possible, you may have my babies.

    Strictly speaking, a rifle isn't a boomstick. A shotgun is a boomstick, specifically a 12-guage double barrled Remington.

    True, but then again, strictly speaking if I pointed my AR at someone and pulled the trigger, it would go boom too and they too would be fucked.

    Shit, I was stupid enough to pull both triggers on a double barreled shotgun once.

    Thats all I remember. :nuke:

    Looks like you forgot to trim off a bit there at the end of the butt stock.

    Psst. Unless "your rifle" is a commie gun, say "no" Apostle.
