Also have my hidden and secure storage for it. Very happy with this wall safe. lock bars on top bottom and side.

Let's talk ARs. All kinds. Lets see what you have, what you've done, and discuss what you plan to do. I'll start off.   I have owned and built a couple of ARs, but right now only have one, a Ruger S

My 7.5” pistol. And I figured since it has a Sig red dot I’d throw my other Sigs in there for good measure.

All due respect, I wouldn't buy a pack of gum from Walmart. Go check out a local gun shop and help support a small business. You may pay a little more but you'll get a ton of knowledge and confidenc

Very nice collection.

I like iron sights, but a properly sighted in red dot can be used by anyone. which is important for home defense when non gun users may have to take action.

x2 Most of the red dot sights can be kept on for years before the battery dies. Or you could get spendy and get a tritium-lit one if you got the money.

HZhardy, is that one of those 50BMG uppers pinned onto a standard AR lower in one of your pictures? Just wondering how it is to shoot, has it held up, and anything else you can tell me about it. Thanks!

it is, and shot great, but I recently sold it since there are not very many places to go play with it at were I live. Not to mention the cost of 5 dollars a round. I just hated shooting it prone as your body takes all the recoil and the muzzle brake covers you in dirt. If you pin one on any reputable forged lower you should be just fine. Mine was on a stag lower.

Very cool, I've always toyed with the idea of buying one but have always shyed away for the same reason which there is just no place to shoot it.

I've only shot colt M4's, we transitioned out of the iron sites in about 2007-2008 and the MN guard all has red dot varient scope other then some of the m16's with acogs for squad desigated marksmen. All these nice adaptions and add-ons are sweet :) I was looking at Rugers SR556 in 223/5.56. Has the piston set up like a H/K, and for the guy earlier who was asking about cleaning up the rifles.. make sure you clean the star chamber, and it's worth getting the special brush for it to break up the carbon. For cleaning things.. I like plain CRP.

Bought a RRA LAR-15 Elite Operator-2 today.. Pretty sweet rifle, time to get some add-ons and a scope.

That was me, thanks. Not sure what you mean by star chamber, I can't find any reference to that in the papers or online. I disassemble the bolt, clean and lube that and same for the barrel. Then I pose with it in front of the mirror to admire its badass-ness. :lol:

It is a cotton swab that look like your rifle bolt head. You place it on a jag and clean your bolt extension. See reference below.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
