What's Your Next Purchase? V5

Long story short, for my 97B I could go with these grips in a darker or lighter color. I'm waffling back and forth on what looks better. Here's one of each.

I prefer darker, a more cherry color stain on the lighter grip would look badass imo.

At first I didn't like the more blonde look. Then I did. Then I didn't. Then I wasn't sure. Leaning towards the darker color. Can't go wrong either way in my estimation.

Hmmmmm on the cherry. Never tried something like that.
 
2 of the 4 guys I work with regularity gor the Barrett fieldcraft now....at the moment, even bringing up a new gun could cause a....ummm....disruption in the peace.

ARGH, build list too big... but want to add more to it already. GGGRRRR....

So far it includes:
- AR 10 (I already have the damn barrel and scope for this and bought a trigger group for it, Geissele one too. Rainer ultramatch barrel and a Vortex Viper scope)

- 6.5 Creed chassis build (have the fucking R700 SA receiver for it...)

I WANT to add:
- Ultra lightweight AR-15... Anderson lowers are like $50 a pop... gggrrrr

- .300 Blackout pistol just for shits'n'giggles

- Polymer80C build... problem with this is all the lower stuff is cheap and I could finish for like $225 including the receiver. All the slide shit is what puts it near $1000... ARGH!!!!!

I know I know.

Finding a slide for the Polymer80 is the biggest bitch/most expensive part. Almost tempted to try and find a used Gen 3 G19 to franken gun so to speak. Hell, at that stage I might as well just use the used gun to do everything I want.... probably be cheaper. Fuck
 
Man, after kicking around on that Alexander Arms website for the Beowulf magazine and reading a ton of material on the subject I am seriously considering a 6.5 Grendel upper. It seems to be the perfect compromise between an AR15 and an AR10

Same here man . . . bought everything but the bare slide. Can't find one I like for a decent price. Thinking about selling the barrel and other upper parts I bought and then just buying a complete slide.

DVOR has some ZEV for $409. Obviously not exactly cheap but less than I've seen elsewhere

We're you the one that was thinking about getting the odin upper on dvor?

I came close but it would just sit there for a while.

That's kind of where I am at if I keep the idea of doing the Polymer 80.

If I do the Polymer 80 and get one of those VDI complete slides the slide is like $600 but comes with serrations up front, suppressor height XS Big Dot's with tritium backs, the optic relief already milled out and with a cover and comes with what they claim is a match grade barrel. At that stage all that would be left is an optic which can come at a later date and the lower parts.

Is it just the slide? Haven't looked at DVOR yet today.
 
JESUS... Schmidt and Bender DEMO scopes are still near $2,500 on DVOR.... good grief.

My usps guy must either think I buy awesome shit or that I'm a psychopath lol

The last few months I've gotten so much stuff with boxes labeled with gun/knife stuff and tomorrow-Sat I'm getting quite a bit more lol.

If you've noticed a change in delivery men it's because the minimum wage guy (but with good bennies) got replaced by a fed (with better bennies!). Hunker down dude. Call for help in Morse code via PM's and we've got your back. I'll mail you some ammo USPS just to thwart these fucking jackbooted corksuckers.

Bought this pair hoping they'd work on either my 85 Combat or SP-01. Didn't like on 'em on the '85 (it's perfect as is), but hoping they look snazzy on the post-CGW SP-01 with the RMR sight.

I'm in the process of adorning all of my CZ babies in wood (85 Combat notwithstanding).

Yeah I was. I might sit back and see what the outcome of the military's intermediate cartridge study is. I've got no pressing need for more power out of my AR at the moment
 
Got my new range bag, dead air key brake, V7 titanium firing pin, Silencerco radius.

Waiting for ups to drop off my proof research.

Will post pics later.

Slr sentry 7, gas tube and cam pin should be here tomorrow.
