Also, life sucks when you can't go to the shooting range. I miss it dearly and am itching to go shoot stuff! This is partly why I haven't been logging in here, because you guys make me want to go shooting. Started grad school on Monday in addition to work. Have a supermega cold and I was the last in my house to get it, so baby is feeling better, wife is feeling better but I feel like crap. Uh, I think that's about it for now.
Oh yea, and it apparently snows more in NM than it does in VA. Which really baffles me and is kinda disappointing.
Pot Kettle yeah..Quote:

The design I'm making will also be easy to quickly disassemble and move around (such as take on a plane down to Chile with me...).

Did that too!!
sweet baby jesus. So I could buy a 3d printer for roughly the price of an AR. I like it, and need oneQuote:

Were the flaws you found in the mechanical side or electronic/comp side?
