I didn't say they were bad guns, but when the take down instructions say, rotate bolt to an angle and "wiggle" to get it out that kind of infuriates me.

For shits and giggles I was tempted to disassemble the trigger group then decided that was a terrible idea.

I want a scout rifle. I'm leaning towards the Ruger gunsite scout. But is there a reason why I should get a Steyr scout instead?

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

It's lighter and has that built in bipod. Plus the whole OG status.

Kicks harder though, since it's lighter.

It's bizarro 90s pricing, where ARs and mini-14s swapped places.

The LGS just placed an order for a Ruger Gunsite Scout with the composite stock and comp. it’s supposely lighter than the Steyr Scout. Now to find me a used 2x aimpoint or a Burris Scout scope.

I have a older AR-15 bought in 1998, during the first AWB; meaning its missing muzzle device and bayonet mount.

Can I switch the barrel or stock out to something more modern?

It's a DPMS :downsgun:

Yes.

You could probably get a decent upper for what a new barrel and having it spaced would cost. Then you'll always have a spare complete upper.

You don't need to space an AR barrel, though.

You just need to line the gas tube up with the barrel nut and that can be annoying.

Well and you just need a bench vice, a receiver block and the right type of barrel wrench.

Yeah, if you have everything to do a barrel change at home, cool. If not, it's money at a smith's shop. Even if it only takes the smith five minutes, you're still paying to have the labor done, and that money can go towards another upper.

Or get a handguard that doesn't require barrel nut timing like Geissele, Hodge or SLR. Just torque in and go.

Laws don't have any effect until they...come into effect.

Saying you're going to make X illegal on May 1st doesn't mean it's illegal to have/do X until the law passes AND comes into effect.

If you know something is going to be illegal to posses in two weeks and you buy/obtain a bunch of them then you might be retarded but it's not an illegal act at that time.

Ah my bad I didn't read the article and figured a local company had just decided to give them away as a "gently caress you" since they wouldn't be able to sell them anymore. (and after reading, that's really what it is minus the local part.)

The legislature is the one doing the voting and they've already passed the bill so it's basically just a marketing stunt.

So I’ve followed GIP since before I joined the USAF way back when it was nothing more than an Ask/Tell thread and I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about my Iraq service. This was the first time in four months I actually drank a lot an put some music on and rolled through my album (Most of you aren’t young enough to have a cloud based album?) and I don’t feel bad about a single leg I helped sew onto a Shia deathsquad militia?

OK, so that's one case of Military Special 'gin', a carton of Pall Mall blues, and three ounces of resin scraped out of a communal bowl used by a frat at UC Boulder.

Your total is $18.95, cash or card?
