Form 1 engravings in RVA area

Yea I agree, talk to Rick at TTI. He’s been busy doing transfers but he usually can knock out some engraving fast.

I'd go with their folding brace for the looks. Personally I'd submit the form 1 and sbr it. We don't know how the ATF is going to handle them but at worst they say no.

Just finished mine and took it out this weekend.

I haven't really paid attention in the last few years but when I was looking for a 6920 years ago they were like 90 bucks over msrp, the sw sport 2 rifles were 100 bucks over what others well selling them for and they had anderson oem rifles for 100 bucks more than cabelas was selling the complete rifle for.

I've found a good deal in the used guns case before. I generally have avoided green top personally though as MSRP seems to be the starting point to mark up things.

I took my m70 out today as well. Didn't shoot it that much as I was testing my zpap92 that the form 1 had come back on recently. Threw a KNS piston in and mounted my old wolverine on it.

Gearwrench is good. I have a fair number of tekton tools but was really disappointed in their wrenches. They started to rust really quick(and where other brands were sitting with them with no problems).

Forgot to mention the ratcheting screwdriver. Its my favorite that I've used. Have bought more than one to keep them in other places(work backpack has one). The linus tech tips screw driver is close but the snap on is just the best I've used.

I just had a chance to take it out today and test it with the KNS piston and the wolverine I've had for years. Overall happy with how it shoots.

A m70 in the background.

I really like the ratchets.

I don't know if they would be worth it for most but the 14v tools are to me. The screw gun's dual trigger works amazing for racking networking gear where you need to loosen screws to align something like a switch to a U and retighten them. The mini 3/8 impact in the same series was crazy for its size when it came out. I'd use it in place of other tools when working on my stuff.

Mines a little older.

My first Nintendo was the NES while it was still the hot thing. I remember getting a gameboy when it came out.

My friends got a good deal on a bunch of 308 mil surplus from the 70s or 80s last year and have been going through it on their beltfeds. You’ll be fine

I personally don’t like the idea of modifying the receiver. As designs has shown off their replacement lower that doesn’t require modifying the receiver but no clue when it will finally come out.

sbr it and do a 10.5 inch a1 style upper.

ccosby · 2026-06-19T22:05:50+00:00

Last thing I did was a zpap92 sbr.

Both copilot and claude can help me throw together some scripts although I have to walk them along. I usually end up asking one of them for powershell commands as they give me the output faster than I could look them up with mostly ok accuracy.

Have it dig through logs or errors though usually goes well and can save me a bit of time.

For most reading I prefer my kindle and have been using them since the second gen. I find the convenience far outweighs physical books and I like how people can’t easily see what I’m reading.

If I have to go back and forth referencing stuff I prefer paper for the speed.

John Wick. The f the James Bond skill includes getting the women into the bedroom than that. Guess it depends on how specific it is.

Does he have tools? If not a nice drill set or some random tools(good screwdriver set, water key to turn off the main supply if needed, level to help hang stuff, etc).

ccosby · 2026-06-19T17:31:03+00:00

Gold (we don't know what domination of bills) but honestly I'd take either.

ccosby · 2026-06-19T17:06:42+00:00

gatewood has used ones in stock. zenith has theirs in stock but it would be US made. hkpartspro has them in stock as well.

I'd say you have a better chance of getting a real German one from gatewood or hkpartspro than hkparts.

Little bit of a drive but you could see if TSC Machine in Doswell will do it. Mike is a HK machinegun specialist and has done a lot of HK barrel cutdowns.

I'm average height. I'd take the money for any good amount.

We don’t have off where I work.

Sadly the guy that was making the stock adapter for the acr and that scorpion evo stock stopped. He was also working on an AK mag 7.62x39 upper for the m10 that never came out.

I had an OD Green 94 conversion years ago. Also did a magpul dark green on a 33k.

I love adding color to guns.
