Not very big, but a good selection of arms. Expected a few more accessories and ammo, but not a bad shop for a town the size of Hays. Friendly staff.

Either one is a good choice. I have a JB style unit from brownells.

If you haven't had a burger from Kenosha Cafe (on the west side of US 285 in Grant) you're missing out on quite possibly the best burger in Colorado. HUGE hand shaped pattie, Brioche bun, whatever fixins and cheese you choose, cooked the way you like it:

I believe that Black Dog Machine are the manufacturers of the 'JB style'. I have several of the them for around the shop. They are handy when working on a lower with the upper leaned against the wall. I hate it when I'm handling an upper and I hear the sound of a bolt going clunk as it hits the floor. I have drilled a couple holes in the covers to hold the pins when not in use.

The $10 looks like it might be better for field use. Looks like a better seal and no pins. I might pick up one or two.

Got started on some fencing. Now I just need to build a gate to close off the back yard. Then save up for the rest of the fence for the front. Went together pretty quickly.

Do you intentionally want those gaps? It will get widened as the wood shrinks over time.

Can you post a pic of the whole truck? I'm considering a small lift or just a leveling kit for my 1500. Also what size tires?

I'd be interested in some pictures and details as well. GM 1500 series trucks have always had a stupid rake from the factory. Even with a 3'' lift, they sit about as high as a stock F-150.

This was my '05 with a full leveling kit from Rough Country. Torsion keys up front and block for the rear. Tires are 285/70/17. I am thinking about getting the full leveling kit for 2008 1500.

Mine is a 2008 1500 with a Pro Ryde 3" Lift / Level.
http://www.prorydeliftkits.com/category-s/2.htm

Aftermarket wheels with a bigger offset to get the larger tires not to rub.
I have 285/70R17 Goodyear Duratracs on it.

Here's a cell pic of it in the parking lot.

The Chevys definitely sit low. Even my 2008 3/4 ton looks like a two wheel drive compared to my old F250.

Both probably sit higher than my 2010 Dodge. Even though it's a 4x4 it sits pretty low. Probably because it's a half ton "sport" package.

For breakfast, not really purchased by me, the gals at work bought me one for our meeting this morning knowing I LOVE bacon anything. I think for some reason they thought I wouldn't eat it, women?

Not sure where they got the donuts this morning, the Director snagged them on the way in. Will have to ask her Monday.

I liked this one better as easier to eat, instead of strips they were cut so every bite had the sweetness combined with the salty taste of PORK.

Cross posted from the Precision Rifle Porn Thread:

Some of you have probably noticed me selling a decent amount of precision gear.... well here is what it was for:

DTA SRS A1, OD Green, 22" 308. Will be adding 6.5CM (with Bartlein blank from SAC), 300WM, 338LM and MAYBE 243 kits to the setup.

Specs:
DTA SRS A1, OD Green Chassis
22" Lothar Walther 308win Barrel 1:11 twist
Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 Optic
DTA rear Monopod
Atlas ADM QD Bipod
SPUHR 34mm 44.4MOA Scope Mount
SAS 3/4-24 TOMB Muzzle Brake
SAS Arbiter 300WM Suppressor
Trigger Time "Surgeon Style" Bolt Knob
2x 6rnd DTA Magazines.
Trigger tuned to 1lb.

Pics below are the 22" DTA vs my recently sold 20" R700 in an AX. (The owner of my old R700 came over to have me help mount their new SWFA SS scope.)
Perspective doesn't really show it, but the 22" DTA with an extra 2" on the barrel and a 9" suppressor is actually about 1" shorter total length than the 20" R700 in the AX chassis no suppressor.

Stock? The AX I sold?

Or the DTA? The DTA isn't a stock.
06-06-2014, 23:02

The DTA. I was thinking it was just the stock. So is it lighter as well as shorter?
06-06-2014, 23:05

Yes and yes. But it is a completely different weapons system. Not just a modification to a different gun.
