What's Your Next Purchase? V5

[Chesten_Hesten]

Not new, but I finally got my compgun finished. Decided against hard chrome and just had it blued.

Plus I took a belt sander to the rear sight so now it doesn't look like a wall anymore.

This gun shoots 185grn 45acp really well and I can load them upto almost 1200fps without much recoil or pressure issues.







Digg'n it now.

Installing a forward assist without a vice is NOT recommended.

Honestly I usually install everything I can without a vice. Until I'm torquing things down I usually don't use a vice. Forward assist I'll use a roll pin punch as a slave pin then drive the pin in.

I tried that and my fat hands could get the pin started pushing out the slave pin for some dumb reason.

That's pretty cool. What a tank of a pistol.

God, the stock limitations right now is insane.

It and the inflated prices are ridiculous.

Anything in particular you are looking for?

You're not really interested in the red dot slides with the alien correct? I'd definitely sell it, you could get a base in the future for less while absolutely cashing out on your current one.

Those AR10 receivers lol. Those links you provided one of them had them in stock when you initially posted. All out of stock now.

I'm also on the hunt for a Geissele LPK. The OpticsPlanet order I placed in December has an estimated ship date of like mid March now and if I could find a spot that has it now I'd cancel that order and get it through a place that has them right now (I ain't holding my breath). Even my local store is LOW stock on Geissele triggers which says something given their price.

I put in an email to Aero and they have no clue when THEY'LL get more stock but I set it up to get notified via email when they restock and when they do I am placing my order that minute if I can't find any prior to that.

Past that I don't have any particular parts in mind. All I need to finish my Mk18 clone is the LPK, a trigger (kinda want an SD-C from Geissele or I'll grab a simple drop in from like Elfmann), hand guard (looking to try and get a Geissele or BCM MLOK), and then the gas tube and the gas block but those never seem to sell out.

EDIT:
I ended up just cancelling the Geissele Ultra Duty LPK from Optics Planet and bought their triggerguard and the maritime bolt catch with a Leapers ambi safety selector (45/90 throw) and I'll go grab an Anderson LPK to fill out the other parts that I don't have so basically all the small springs and pins.

I still have a Leapers endplate and a Spikes Castle Nut on the way.

I figured I'd give the RDS a go on that one since it doesn't reciprocate. But yeah, for 10k I'm cashing out. If people are still paying that much whenever it finally arrives.

I'll look for some stuff in a bit. For small parts go forward controls

I got the trigger guard, the ambi safety, and bolt catch I wanted from Primary Arms, I have an extended magazine button on the way from DVOR, which basically leaves me with the take down pins and the springs and stuff which I am grabbing in a basic LPK.

I have an idea of which gas block I want and I think my LGS has it in stock right now. I just need DVOR to ship my damn barrel first lol.

Aero is in the process of moving facilities. Might be slim pickings from them for a bit

Grumble.

Here's hoping they can get online fast when they are fully moved in and I can get a receiver set. I am going ot finish my Mk18 first now given the PSA set I have is a bitch to build on for my AR10.

Geographically its not a big move. Different city but they are next to each other. Expanding to a much larger building

I used to live in Washington so are they moving from Tacoma to like Puyallup? If so it shouldn't take them very long. Like a week most likely to get all the building equipment.
