Cheap AR-15 Build: A How-To

1. Find a cheap upper. (not too cheap.)
2. Find a cheap lower. (not too cheap.)
3. Pin together.

I got a New Frontier Gen II upper from Joe Bob's for $95 shipped after a coupon and a Del-Ton DT1026 dissipator heavy barrel for $384.54 shipped from Midway after a coupon.

Yes, you have to shop around. :)

My point is this: have your cash ready, and shop, and you can put together a decent AR for under $500.

I also got a deal on a CQB sling for $9.95 shipped.

I compromised on weight by getting the heavy barrel for more stability/accuracy. With an unloaded 30 round metal magazine, it weighs 7 lbs.

It is nose heavy with the very light weight lower, but a heavier and loaded mag will help that.

Break in tip for Kahr CM9:

Get a pair of flight gloves! The slide serrations and backstrap checkering are tough on hands! If you are taking the advice to rack the slide a bunch to help break it in before firing.

Flight gloves are nice and form fitting, and are handy for all sorts of other activities where you need a little warmth or protection and want to preserve dexterity.

Note the statements by US LAW ENFORCEMENT. The guys on the front lines. Not the statements by politicians far removed from the situation.

As if this is any surprise.

This is newsworthy: the magazine you'll get with this is a digital edition. A PDF you can download, so if you have an ereader, like a Barnes and Noble nook, you can read it there as well.

Or if you prefer Amazon:



I have the 3g+WiFi version with the Cambridge cover from Barnes and Noble. I will post a link to that shortly. Its a nice leather cover with raised horizontal lines on the spin.

Link time:
There are a LOT of free ebooks out there, you can check them out from your library using Adobe Digital Editions, and Baen has a free library. If you use Calibre, then you an also download new sites automatically and convert various file types to your own ebook.

Guess What's Coming to Dinner?

Between the tiny crab in the first one and the unidentified plant in the second, you'll understand why I didn't eat the third green mussel.

I'll have the bottom feeder platter please.

I still think lawyer or lobbyist.

Bob Beckel Says US had a Semi-automatic Weapon Ban?

I don't remember this. Once again, is someone misunderstanding the difference between auto and semi-auto? How can you be a pundit when you don't understand a basic function of your subject? And fully automatic weapons aren't banned, just more difficult and expensive to get. But we knew that.

Sigh.
