MG, I did,'t weigh them before installation, but they were not heavy. The rifle weighs in at 9.2 lbs after installation, but it is a rifle with a heavy barrel and a scope. Installation was easy, I did have to change the handguard cap from the triangular one to a round one. And I had to change the extension tube/buffer/spring to ones for a fixed stock. The fit is really good, no gaps or adjustments. Handguards are tight & do not rattle. I also cut the sight tower off the gas block & refinished it, but that was not required for the installation.

Very Cool! Different from when I was there in 1971.

Thanks, pretty slick!

Can you post a link?

Feels different too, very well balanced. Can't wait to get it to the range.

Received my laminate AR stock set. I like it.

Was at WalMart the other day, the ammo locker was full, except for rimfire.... Check this out Lot's of .22 is available, expensive, but in stock.

No prob, another way to go is a red dot sight. As I understand it, they will co-register with your metal sights, so if your battery dies, you can still aim your rifle.....

I removed the front sight on mine, wanted a free-float rail. You should mount your optic so you have the proper eye relief, which is the distance between the scope & your eye - you should see a full circle in the scope with no dark spots or distortion. Use quality rings/mounts - a good scope will suck with a flimsy/loose mount. I do not use a riser if possible, with a good cheek weld on the stock, a riser can mis-align the scope with your eye. Lower power scopes on an AR will print the front sight tower, so either replace the front sight with a gas block with a flip-up sight or remove it all together. I sight mine in at 50 yards, and with my scope, dial the elevation from 0 to 6 for 100 yards. I'm no expert, that is what works for me. Brownells, one of our advertisers, has lot's of how-tos, and videos, I suggest you check them out. TM

Yep, you have already done the hardest part, the trigger.

Excellent.

Sweet!

This one is the modern re-make in 9mm. Seems to be well made. It is a Serbian re-make of a Russian version of a 1911....... :o Paid just over $200, so seems like a good deal for a shooter.

I do tend to let it pile up so I can batch my reloading activities. But I have enough brass in my calibers, so that works for me.

Wasn't planning on it, but last weekend picked up this.

Yeah, very cool - thanks for posting. The first $600 I save up and don't have to throw at a car or plumbing repair is going for a GSG SGH 44. LINK

HERE is an in-depth review of the Bodyguard 380 & 38. Note the comments on the .380's recoil. I had (for a short time) a Ruger LCP. It was a dream to carry, very small and light, but it was nearly painful to shoot, don't think I ever shot more than 50 rounds through it. Since I didn't practice, I couldn't hit squat with it. I tried several of the micro .380's, and settled on the Sig P-238 and the Taurus TCP. I also have a Walther PK-380, and while it is a bit larger in size, it is without a doubt the softest shooting 380 on the market, and very easy to rack the slide.

It do.

Hey George, welcome back. I can't speak to the Bodygard. When I need to carry something lighter than my Sig P238, I have a Taurus TCP. But that probably wouldn't be a good purse gun, it is DAO with no safety. TM

They have both parts in laminate. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/subgrouping.htm?cat=6237&hi=0 I ordered just the stock for now.

That is cool. :thumb:

Just ordered one of THESE from Boyds. I ordered the "Pepper" color.

i-phone survives 82 MPH slap shot ;D

Now this is kinda cool. http://inteliscopes.com/

Hey, That's one of my senators.......
