Do a bbl swap, trigger tune up and new stock. While it's not a REMINGTON 700! [panic]. They are damn good shooters as well as under rated rifles, fairly easy to modify / update.

No problemo. Hopefully things will fall in place out CA way for you. Moving always sucks, leaving behind friends and enemies. the network one has in place etc.
The flip side you're a short timer, spent in CA will give you time to think / plan for what's next. Just one more person to visit when in CA [LOL]

The guy at the front said he had been waiting almost two hours! NO F*CKING WAY IM WAITING TWO HOURS IN LINE TO PICK UP MY PACKAGE!

I'll swap you UPS for USPS. 1 person on the counter . 15 people in line. I ask if she is the only one working with the backlog of people standing in line. With that a head pops out of the back room then disappears, he was the postal mgr for that office. Or as i refer to them, a close to retirement .gov employee.

But like I told a friend recently, I've been grabbing every free part I could come across for at least a year, and never used any of them because it was just cheaper to buy the PSA upper without BCG or charging handle. I have at least three hand guards and at least six grips. I haven't even shot my rifle yet and can't wait to build another, now that I know what parts I need. Don't forget about your optics.

I've had heart burn for going on three days now. I'm going to see if some grape flavored campaign is the cure. I'm doing a tile repair in my bathroom shower right now and it sucks. I just need to get it done so it's not an issue when the appraiser comes around. I'm trying to refinance our house into a conventional loan so I can get rid of the mortgage insurance that is wasting $169 a month of my money.

Speaking of pictures, I believe OBC wanted pictures of my PSA build. Here it is. Put it together for under $500, including the Magpul back-up sights. As another member pointed out to me, only took 20,000 posts on an AR site to actually own an AR.
Don't feel bad. I think I had been here 4 years before I built an AR. I had like 6 Fal's and a bunch of AK's but no AR's.[Flower]

I find them funny as a patient. Having worked in them for the last 35 years I have my fun time like I did with the last one that treated my wife.[Flower] You OK?
Mom fell in the garage @0200. I didn't discover her till 0430. Broken wrist and seems to be paralyzed fro the waist down. They ruled out stroke and a tumor but she has swelling and blood on her spine. They referenced as "her spine looks like it had a heart attack". So from platte they sent us to University so I'm playing the waiting game while she is in a even longer MRI, just under two hours now. Been a long ass day bro.

Shes he's never been down. She still works 40+ hrs a week as a CNA. Don't know how this ones going to work out yet but I will get that setup.
I do appreciate the Prayes and Well Wishes guys. Just got home (She is passed out) so I figure I'd try to grab an hour or two then head back to the hospital. They still don't know shit. They might pull some fluid from her spine and do some test but in the meantime they are starting to talk about surgery on her wrist. She broke at the main joint so her hand was at a 45 degree angle from her main wrist bones.

There is a reason they have a well-known reputation among most 1st world countries for fighting like a bunch of pussies and surrendering at the first opportunity...
Also, have you ever met anyone from France? They are generally not very friendly and very snobbish about the uncivilized way that others do things (cooking is a prime example here).
Is that an issue with their ROE though? I can't imagine that French individuals are any less brave than anyone else.
