Nothing's is getting thru the house or senate, on the state levels that maybe a different story. Look at what happened to CO today :eek:

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,

I had similar issue a few years ago with one of thse reduced power spring kits running Guatemalan 5.56, so I prolly would have blamed the ammo rather then check my spring installation lol :sh

I now agree. Used to be a Glock guy. My wife bought a S&W M&P 45 ACP Compact this week. The slide is black and the frame is flat dark earth. Took it out the next to shoot and we both love it. Going to get one for myself.

very nice! :tu

Did you buy the fail zero BCG from fail zero, or on the secondary market? Auto or semi carrier?

I love my BCM Gunfighter Mod 3! Would make it easier to charge the weapon with one hand/arm injured.

gah, I love multiple levels of incompetence...

Called UPS a few weeks ago, spoke to a guy in the haz mat department. Got all the specifics for how to ship ammo. Certain box strength, level, etc. Then take it to a UPS service center (hub).

Took it to the hub today. "oh no, we can't take that here" .... "try taking it to the gun store down the street, they have the right account for that."

took it to the gun store, talked to the owner. "just take it to the post office, and don't tell them what it is. There's not restrictions on shipping ammo anyway. Guns yes, but ammo no."

:bh bloody frickin incompetent lot of em... :bh

So my choices are down to
A) Flat rate box at the post office.
B) Take it to the UPS stare, call it precision machine parts, and call it a day.
C) Sign up for a Hazmat business account with UPS and pay $10/week (required) for a weekly scheduled pickup at my house.

Leaning towards B...

UPS hub is the right choice. Next time ask for a manager as the person you talked to is an Idiot.

It's illegal to ship ammo USPS.

Fine.. I'll go back to the customer service center tomorrow... And if they still don't take it, I'm driving 3 blocks down the street to the ups store, pulling off the ORM-D label and handing it to them. :bh

I have the drop down door and speedloader rails. I had to look that mag up to see the application kit for it. I learned something new today. :tu
I read you may need to clean the stock or fitting up a bit for perfect fit.

I have the Tapco stock already, so the Tapco mags are just plug and play.
