Works out to 1500-2000 per pay check (2 weeks) minus the 30% makes about 4-5K for two months. Doing 2 hours per day on the front side plus 5-10 on weekends. So right now I am 4 am to 2:30 pm and starting @ 5am on sat. work till I can't stand it. [beatdeadhorse]
I'll get the tape out tonight when I get home. The keymod rail looks the exact same as mine (with the exception of little penis' instead of rectangular slots) I highly recommend it. Super light.
Thanks,
I'm really wanting the KMR 9 @6.0 oz, but can't seem to locate one ATM.
Or an NSR 9.
Not sure I like the cheese grater on the other rails, kind defeats the keymod purpose.

Neato, Jim.
Yea, sorry about that.
I like Midwest stuff, I'm looking at the keymod stuff as I'm already invested in it a little with a SBR BCM upper and a few options.
If you don't mind, what is the actual measurement on the length?
Have you checked out apex handguards? Put one on my m&p 10 and it's fantastic...both lightweight and no flexing. I would recommend looking into them as an option to consider.
Good luck. I love mine. Just picked up a P-300 scope for it. turned out to be a tack driver @100 yards so time to stretch its legs. Have 110gr going right @ 2400. Going to try some SS stuff next. [Flower]
Yep love mine too. Very fun to shoot.
Interested to to hear your load data. Which powder are you using?
Trying to decide what I should build next. Thinking a 20" A2 would be fun. Can't decide if I want the buttstock to be A2 or A1 though? I like the length of A1's but an A2 would be more correct for what was carried back in the day. I've been moving away from modern AR stuff and going more retro with everything. I find they are more fun to shoot for some reason. Can't beat the prices right now for adding to the collection.
Been wanting an A2 stock for the aforementioned m&p 10.
2 skank creepers are lurking.

Both the 9 KMR and NSR are like one legged leprechauns right now. Might be easier to get a regular leprechaun and cut one leg off. Did see a shop in Tx selling NSR knockoffs for under 100. "Skull" something or other was the site. My Midwest measures9.25 total, upper receiver to end.

Um, breif look at their site:

I must have light weight and fanboi keymod for my range toys. I don't look the operator part, but my guns must.

They are like 8 or 9 oz! I guess Every ounce counts. Keymod would be cool. They have BS proprietary Rails at apex.

I've been at this fucked up software install for 14 hours.
Company hired a sub to do something we don't do a lot of and didn't have time for. I thought they were going to sub back to IBM, but they went cheap on us.
Well, the consultant fawked it up right good. So now the old adage applies very well.
Had we taken the time to do it right ourselves the first time, we wouldn't have had to do it over.
To make matters worse, there's so many moving parts, it actually took the better part of 6 hours just to uninstall and get things cleaned up to the point I could start the install over.

So after a month of burning my imported firewood, I prefer the Brazilian over the Indian. Indian has better BTU content content, but Brazilian is easier to start and easier to split. The Indian stuff appears to be some sort of hardwood that is very light weight but hard to burn unless fire bed is already hot.

All negated by the fact that I am actually recycling wood that ends up in landfills. At least that is what I tell environuts.
It is the crating and framing that our granite slabs are packed with in the shipping containers.
The company likes it because it saves them a small amount of labor not having to break/cut it down(I do it after hours) to fit in dumpster. Each container load will fill the 3 yard dumpster and costs $75 to empty.
The ultra liberal environmentalist business owners next door to our slab yard give me thumbs up because I told them I haul it off for recycling. Did not tell them I burn it for heat, but discovered later they don't cry too much over fireplaces/stoves.

Broke/bent/busted both a Lee .223 and .308 die set. I love the Lee FC die and that's about it. switched to RCBS and seem to have better luck. The stuck case was totally my bad. I may pickup a decapping only die so I can decap before tumble. I really want to get setup for wet tumble as my walnut media never seems to do much on the inside of the cases or primer pockets if I retumble after decapping/sizing. Cleaning up after media tumble is the only part of this reloading stuff I despise.

Most of it was filthy dirty suppressed brass from the Sig 716. Damn thing still isn't running right - overgassed I believe. I tried to polish the chamber a little myself so hopefully I didn't mess it up worse. I have a very odd ring on the brass coming out of that gun.

Was this storm some sort of surprise to DOT? Everybody off for holiday?
Drove 45 miles before I saw a plow and it was headed up the ramp to E 470 from I76. Drove another 15 miles until I saw one actually plowing a public highway.

All negated by the fact that I am actually recycling wood that ends up in landfills. At least that is what I tell environuts.
It is the crating and framing that our granite slabs are packed with in the shipping containers.
The company likes it because it saves them a small amount of labor not having to break/cut it down(I do it after hours) to fit in dumpster. Each container load will fill the 3 yard dumpster and costs $75 to empty.
The ultra liberal environmentalist business owners next door to our slab yard give me thumbs up because I told them I haul it off for recycling. Did not tell them I burn it for heat, but discovered later they don't cry too much over fireplaces/stoves.
When I first moved back down here, I got some work building a solar plant. The crates of brackets came from thePhilipines. Turns out all the crates were made of scrap mahogany. 1x3 six footers. Made some very nice shelves in the house, and I still got a couple hundred board feet left in the barn. Couldn't bring myself to burn this stuff, but any other scrap, pallets, or salvage are all BTU's to me. Most of this winter, my house has been heated by pieces of some old barns from Philmont Scout Ranch. 70 year old rough sawn lumber burned really well.

The ones plowing E-470 are private contractors for the Tollway authority, same with the HOV on I-25 through town and will be the same for the toll lanes under construction on US 36.

Also depends on what ya drive. The GP's and the truck were cheap. The collector cars are cheep. The G8 not so much. I was about $100 per month for three with good coverage and low ded. The G8 made it $160 per month dropping the truck.

I had mine set at 4 from now when I turn 60. Already doing 3 jobs at work and kinda was informed that another almost full time job may be coming my way. I may retire sooner than they think. Technically I can go at any time.
I decided a few years ago that I'm not cut out to make big money inside an organization, and probably wouldn't want the associated workload anyway. So I've accepted that it is up to me to make my own money. Helps relieve a little stress, but not all of it.

You'll get more stress being self employed. BUT knowing you are your own boss makes it easier. I had $70K ~ years , then $25K. Like anything else if one makes contingency plans for the lean times it smooths out the bumps.
Sometimes you have to go for it. You're marketable, it doesn't pan out in 3-5 years go back .
I can smell a psycho's fear.

We might be looking a 100 unit property down in the springs next month. That could turn out to be lucrative as well. Talking to Wulf and Chunky the other weekend got me back into high gear for my side business and I made the phone call I needed to.
