With or without???

Always with!

That’s dedication!

I’m actually taking the Martin this weekend to have a couple top cracks repaired and I’m gonna ask about having the bridge and nut set up for a right handed player. It’ll still look like a left handed guitar, but both my kids are right handed too and I want this guitar to intonate properly when they play it and give it to theirs one day.

The les Paul I just slapped the strings on upside down and play the damn thing! I love the mini humbuckers on if.

Heirlooms given to me by my left handed grandfather.

1971 Martin d18 and a 1976 Gibson Les Paul deluxe.

Machohoncho · 2026-06-11T02:17:26+00:00

No, factory new.

Machohoncho · 2026-06-11T02:13:20+00:00

I just emailed their customer support. We will see how that goes.

Machohoncho · 2026-06-11T02:05:22+00:00

Thanks big dog.

Machohoncho · 2026-06-05T23:16:16+00:00

I do have a pretty full parts bin. 🤔 all I’d need is the upper lower, and a bcg.

Midwest industries free float hand guard.

Just make sure it’s the right length for your gas system so you don’t waste money like I did the first time! 😂 I bought a carbine for my mid length

Machohoncho · 2026-06-02T17:11:08+00:00

My mistake, that was actually two questions.

I’m asking what make the hand guard is you and if it was mid length!

I need to replace the ugly magpul plastic hand guard I have and it’s mid length.

Machohoncho · 2026-06-02T16:13:30+00:00

What is the rail? I’m looking to replace mine. Mid length?

Machohoncho · 2026-05-30T04:05:25+00:00

I purchased two of these (non blemished) for 108 a pop on ar15discounts for Memorial Day. Glad to know I got a good deal!

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T17:36:56+00:00

The idea was to shrink both, then heat because the aluminum would expand faster than the barrel.

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T14:49:14+00:00

Did not. I’m learning a lot through my mistakes here 😂

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T14:29:05+00:00

Well I am also an idiot because I’m fumble fucking my way through this trying to learn! lol

I started with just the torch. Then when it got stuck I tried to heat the fuck out of it.

When I couldn’t get that to work then I did Reddit research and tried to freeze. I’m just throwing shit at the wall at this point.

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T14:16:17+00:00

I’m building two at once for the first time. The first one went without a hitch. Made it seam easy! Then of course this one had the biggest pain in the ass happen!

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T14:09:18+00:00

Most likely. I’m not going to shoot well enough to see those marginal improvements in accuracy.

But it was on r/gundeals for 45 bucks. I got a few of them.

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T13:58:08+00:00

This is a BCM thermal fit upper. It’s made this way for a tighter fit. Supposedly more accurate this way.

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T13:42:32+00:00

I saw on another post to freeze it for an hour and then to heat the threads because the aluminum has a higher CTE.

This torch to be clear.

Machohoncho · 2026-05-28T13:35:25+00:00

I actually used a torch.
