lol, why, do they break that much that I have to worry about it?

Yeah, you'll need to take advantage of the generous Home Depot warranty. lol
I use Dewalt because I've got lots of their gear (just added the new 12v compact Sawzall & another 20v Impact to the collection last week) so it's nice to be able to swap batteries, chargers and accessories. Milwaukee makes some quality stuff too and then there's some manufactures that are up from there that really aren't worth it unless you use them daily for a paycheck. When I used mine for work most of the guys all had Dewalt so you throw your initials on your gear and if you need a battery or charger or something you just swap things around as you work and shit gets done. Kind of like using the same weapon systems on the battle field... but not really. lol
this set is just for simple work around the house here and there, nothing too demanding. I make sure I spend the extra money where I need to - Bought a dewalt sawzall for all the power glory, and then highest amp skill saw. These cordless things are more for me to be lazy instead of dragging out the corded drill.
I understand but the price difference is negligible & the quality/reliability difference is significant. FYI Harbor Freight is doing a 20% off discount and sometimes you can get someone at Lowe's or Home Depot to enter it as a competitor coupon. I did that on the Sawzall & impact I mentioned. You could probably get Dewalt gear for the same or less with a little effort. I just know I regret buying a bunch of Craftsman 19.2v stuff back in the day because it cost less & I was just using it around the house occasionally so no big deal, right? Wrong. It all started crapping out within a year or two which amounted to only a handful of uses. Pretty poor ROI. The term buy once cry once applies to power tools. Anyway, Rigid stuff isn't that bad so I'm not trying to tell you it's garbage just that you can get more reliable for not a lot more money. That stuff you got is better than the Craftsman crap I made the mistake of buying. lol
Back on track. New Sig P226 MK25 in FDE that's not yet in my possession but will be soon as it gets here:

Finally finished the machining operations to the frames to let the recoil rods pass through to the springs in the AR stocks, and got in the AR stock adapters. Two M10s in 5.56mm ready to go!

Whatcha wanna see? Basically they're replacement uppers for the M10 (also available for the M11) that let them fire 5.56 instead of 45/9/380. I guess that's the point that it's helping make the most numerous single machinegun design in civilian hands usable for more than pistol calibers - it's not just M16 types that can shoot a bewildering variety of calibers, including rifle power centerfire. There are plans for other rifle caliber uppers than 5.56 in the future.
Fires from the open bolt like the original, and requires a hole at the back to let the oprod pass through to a spring system housed in the shoulder stock. The hole is actually located such that it doesn't interfere with using the original upper and its internal recoil spring if that's desired, though I may need to come up with a plug or plate to cover the hole when I'm not using these uppers on them.
This spring and oprod modification has been done before for some of the "slowfire" pistol caliber conversions, as well.

My garage is getting manlier by the day.

Also, while I bought it (LPK) a few weeks ago, this is the first gun I've ever built. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there.

80% lower?
Mind if I ask for the brand\name\etc of the belt and pouches ?
Yes sadly. The rest of my stamps haven't come in yet. May-June should be stamp heaven. E file seems to be running 90-100 days still. Even with the ATF leaving 'draft' on the first final copy and having to wait the weekend AND a snow day to get it fixed

New G-Shock w/Bluetooth so I can connect to my smartphone & control music player, volume & get alerts for email, text, and all sorts of customizable parameters.

Not nearly as fancy as yours, but just picked up a new G shock myself. Loving it so far.

I picked up a G Shock a couple months back and kicked myself for waiting so long.
I had a G-Shock years ago but after I bought my Tag (reward for achieving a personal goal) in 1999 I quickly realized I wasn't going to be wearing it. I've wanted another & this one w/Bluetooth seemed like the logical choice given when I'd be wearing it. This will give me control of my music when I'm doing active activities & such. There was another G-Shock I wanted but they're going for $2k and I couldn't justifying anywhere near that price tag for a 'beater' watch.
Picked this up from Gunbroker. Excellent trap gun and can't wait to get back into it!
