How much Francis, If you don't mind me asking.?...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Got it straight from the manufacturer, retail price on their website. $175

They're adding small 15-30 batches in stock over the weekend at random times. Sells out in less than 15 seconds after posting (sometimes in less than 8 seconds).

Only way to get one is to use Google Chrome and download the Page Monitor extension. Set it to a 3 second refresh and turn up your speakers.
You also need to have an account already made with them, correct shipping and FFL info already set in the account, and your credit card number sitting in a txt document ready to cut and paste. And your CC expiration date and security code memorized.

I also ordered a pistol grip from them earlier today, both because I wanted to try it (more vertical, looks like an AK grip), and so that I would know the exact sequence of events and buttons to press in the checkout, no time lost reading anything.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Wow... Sounds like you have ordering down to a science... :lr

So what is this for? A lower with the umbrella emblem?

Hehehe, my fiance complains I never do anything half assed (sometimes a good thing, sometimes not!). I figured if I'm going to waste any time trying to get it, then I was going to GET IT, not just "sorta try" and lose to someone else who wanted to get it more :)

Yep, check the pics a posted a page back. That's exactly what you get, just a stripped lower. They got the license from whoever owns the resident evil franchise to use the Umbrella Corp logo and name. So the manufacurer is listed as "Umbrella Corporation". It is also reputed to be a top quality part.

Depending on your taste in movies, your oppinion on it could varry from being "super badass" to "huh, what's the big deal?"

I'm working on building a pair of nicer quality ARs (one 16", one 20") so this will compliment the serenty lower nicely :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I couldn't resist.... I got a second one.... now to go find something else to sell to make room for it :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Holy crap, seriously, you got 2? I need to do the Google Chrome thingy

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not really. If I can come across some that is in demand that I can turn and resell, I will buy it. If not, I will pass. Like the last panic, once the hysteria clears, AR15s will be back on the clearance rack.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Got any shotguns or bolt guns? Lol

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

or Sig Sauers?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yea that is what his website says than he emailed me too. Do you get the standard cant? I went with that but was thinking if upping it some to his better.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I ordered mine on dec 26. I emailed Paul on Friday and he said my holster will be going in the mail Monday :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I got the standard clip one with 15* cant for my CW45

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

No panic buying because I'm not paying triple prices for a magazine or crazy prices for ammo!

If you really want the edge, get another extension called LastPass. Set a hotkey in the settings for default form fill with your CC info. I did it on my second one, worked like a charm.
Practice first with a grip, you don't have to check out all the way.

Also don't forget to set the page monitor refresh time down to 5 seconds. I used Two computers refrshing at an offset time so it was closer to every 2.5 seconds.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

when you do let me know i might take it off your hands. :D:D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome Francis... I loved the movies... Now I just have to see if there are any half-life custom lowers... :lr

Anyone else have cool custom logo's icons on theirs? I know Justin does...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I do I do (again). hehehe
From Serenity :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

really cool Francis... :tu

I wonder what others there must be out there...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Make your own :tu

I met a guy today local at my gun show that engraves lowers. $50/side. He'll also do something that's apparently impossible to find, he'll engrave the front edge of the magwell. Says he has to take apart his laser and pull out the bottom of it then line the lower up backwards. Charges $80, but says he'll do it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

SICK... Does he do color also? I know this is super dorky... but I would LOVE a lower with a Half Life 2: Civil Patrol gas mask on the side... LOL :lr

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

email him :)

his business partner, (and judging from the names, his brother), was setup in the booth next to him. one does laser etching. one does duracoating. They live in neighboring towns and work together on projects.

Sounded like his AR prices were reasonable from what I was understanding. I didn't get a quote from him b/c I don't have my full prject speced out yet.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Got the LC9 all cleaned up after shooting just over 300 rounds through it today with the wife. Her idea to go today!

Man, I want another hand gun.. Prolly another 9mm.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone dealt with https://samcoglobal.com/index.html before?

I would like to get more 9mm ammo.. I just got 1k in, but with through 300 today.. I want to get some on order.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not that this helps much but as memory serves Samco has been around for quite a few years. (That always gives me some confidence in ordering stuff from an outfit for the first time.)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Its been a couple years, bought a lot of high end Mauser's from them and the were the only source at one time for the nicest of the nice Yugo sks's. they are known in the collector world for higher end C&R firearms.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Color it yourself, I did my wife's with acrylic paint, toothpick, q-tip, paper towel and paint or nail polish remover.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

woohoo. The UPS fairy was kind today... Magpul MOE LPK came in from palmetto, and the 16" middy upper came in from Aim Surplus, including that impossible to find part, the bolt carrier group. looks like it's an m16 style one too. :tu And I can go pick up my serenity lower tonight.

So now the fun part, taking that gaggle of parts, throwing them up in the air, and watching a complete rifle land on the ground :d

Only thing lacking is a low profile gas block and new rail... but that will be trickier, because I don't have any means of measuring torque on the new barrel nut :(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's pretty bad ass... Didn't know it could be done at home... Did you have to get anything special done with the etching to do it? Like deeper or something?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nope. It's the stock roll mark from spikes tactical. Just google coloring in ar15 rollmark, would most likely work different for a lazer engraving, not sure.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yo Justin & Francis...

Wanted to ask you if you would happen to know anything about this knife from the new Resident Evil Movie... I can't make up my mind if its real (ie commercially available) or a unique prop... Thought you might know Francis from your love of the movies...


[IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8466/8...dab2c240f2.jpg knife by Robulous78, on Flickr[/IMG]

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

nope, in this case I don't know anything. I've also never played the games, so maybe it exists in the games but IDK.

What movie is that from? Gotta be 4 or 5... Looks kinda like the end of #4...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

its in the beginning of Resident Evil Retribution... I downloaded it yesterday after all our umbrella talk... LoL

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

No clue buddy. Try a knife forum?
Ok found it. It's a scrapyard regulator. Email scrapyard knife works and see if they even make that model anymore. Some of their knives are run every so often.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

LoL... yea I guess I could do that if I really cared... I just thought you guys might know off the top of your head... no big deal...

So how you fella's doing tonight?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What do you guys know about the Beretta Storm Compact 9mm?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Go look at my edit

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not much. My sgt has one in .40 and seems to like it. Personally I'm a glock fan, or a kahr fan if you want a single stack that's even smaller.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shot it. Not for me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

havn't shot the compact. Got a buddy with a beretta something or another in .40 with a rotating barrel. likes it a lot, says it kicks a little less than a standard 9mm due to the rotating barrel.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

nice job :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

weather "warmed up" to 46 here, so I think I'll be out int he barn having a smoke tonight. It's about as good as it's gonna get for me :/

Umbrella's working on a billet lower to come out in a month, maybe two. Possibly available in unfinished.

For certain guns, I could see it being very sexy.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

now gotta figure out if I want to paint mine when it comes in....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Still need to try those new anarchy cigars

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So Justin, tell me if I have this correct... you need an FFL to order the lower but all other parts can be ordered and shipped without FFL?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You got it, it's just the stripped lower that is considered "the gun". It is also serial numbered. :tu

Lower (stripped, complete, whatever) must be shipped to an FFL.

Upper, parts to a lower, anything else can be shipped to your door.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You need to have the lower shipped to an ffl. Everything else can be shipped to your door. The lower is serialized and deemed the actual firearm by the ATF.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

ahh... ok.... so do FFL's name their own price or is there a guideline to what they charge?
