Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - First Firearm Thread.

Just figured out my issue. I put the hammer spring in backwards on my lower :sl

Funny that I only had issues with XTAC. Oh well. I'll rectify the issue later today,

interesting... RED-X charged my card over the weekend.... no shipment notification yet. Couple BCG's coming from them, although I had given up on it ever shipping.... hope it does ship, heard they're assholes when it comes to returns/cancellations.

Well got that hammer out of my lower and flipped the spring around. Put it back in. All is well now in my AR-15 :D

Checked my wife's lower too, had her's in right. :tu

For anyone building their lower, here's a pic for reference.

One is my son's and have no clue what he is planning but the other? Yeah, really like that R3 and may get it unless something else catches my eye along the way.
I am figuring six months or less to order. Planning on a needed loan the wife and I discussed and I know she will concede a few bucks of it to this project. I hope.

It is no darn sweet looking.

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Yes I liked the features, plus that directionally Ported muzzle break for recoil management. Bummed now I just found out my .45 magazine I had bookmarked is now out of stock. :bh

EMO:
Looks like and easy oversight to make. You made me want to check mine since it went full tear down for cleaning after it's last outing. Easy to check.

Oh, that would add some flavor to a traffic stop! (Wait, my statement wasn't too political was it? :D )

No fresh gear to brag on today but got to give thumbs up to Sig Sauer on this new-to-me P238 that's in my weak side front pants pocket right now. Can't make it malfunction shooting it one handed with a deliberately wimpy grip, much less when holding it properly. Even in all-black trim this wee blaster is cute enough to give a name to, a practice that usually makes me roll my eyes and wonder about those of you who do it all the time. ;) How about "My Little Pony"? After all the P238 is a rebooting of the old Colt Mustang...

Love my wife's P238.
She has the HD which is a bit heavier and enough to give it yet more controlled recoil.
Well made fun gun to shoot.

I'm spying "lambo" style doors there as well. Go ahead name it. How about "biscuit" ? You have to test it in a sentence.

Hold on honey, I gotta put the Biscuit away.
This guy is lucky I left my Biscuit at home today.
That's a lot of cash to carry. I'd better bring Biscuit
