Purchased two CMMG lowers last night, on hold for 10 days. Time to start planning my build. Everyone is out of stock of trigger kits for 12 weeks. Gives me plenty of time to work on my design. The fun begins... :)

Nice. I have a fantastic S&W M&P15X M-4 with a lot of toys on it. I love it.

Heh. Rod starts the gun porn on Wednesday and Tax-day....coincidence?

:whistling:


:cool:

I have two, so I'm thinking one will be a striped down design, while the other one has all of the bells and whistles. One will be a regular .223 and the other a .22 w/ conversion kit.

No kidding about the ammo, I'm going to pick up a few thousand rounds of .22. I'm building one of the rifles with the .223 to .22 conversion kit; will pay itself off rather quickly, since .22 rounds are so much more inexpensive.
 
Has the ammo tax already kicked in?
There isn't one yet - but everyone expects there to be some sort of draconian attempt to restrict our 2nd amendment rights. Sooner than later; between Biden (who was one of the authors of the Clinton AWB) and Obama's expressed interest in an AWB I'd bet you can expect something this year.

Even brass and reloading materials are getting scarce as hen's teeth........
 
There was an report with the chick from CA....she was saying now is not the time to press on a Ban...but there will be a time when they try.
 

When I was at "The Gun Store" on Tropicana, buying my SP101, they had that picture framed and hanging behind the main counter.

Anyway, I love following a good gun build up just as much as a car build up. Keep us updated! Good luck.
 
I'm in the process of trying to build off of a stripped Rock River Arms lower that I bought before the election. Should've picked up a LPK too, I can't find any that aren't going for twice as much as they should be though.
 
I think I'm going w/ the Rock Rivers 2 stage trigger instead... Any other suggestions?

Good trigger, even better if you get Bill Springfield to do a trigger job on it. Apparently his work compares to top-shelf 2 stages like Knights and Geissele. I just recently talked to him and he's all out of parts, but can get the job done if you provide the trigger.
 
Good stuff. CMMG, Rock River, CCMG makes some bitchin' barrels as well. Good luck.

Just keep in mind that with the current feeding frenzy for firearms, ammo and accessories, your build may take some time.

CCMG states on their website that "All items are sold on a first come, first served basis and all items are to be considered out of stock when ordering"

they cannot guarantee a delivery time.
 
Had to gloat a bit, I snagged a RRA lpk for $80 shipped earlier today. Should have it in a week or so and then I'll have the trigger sent out to Bill to have him work his wizardry on it.

Rod, what sort of barrel profile are you thinking about going with? I'm trying to decide on whether or not I really want to build the upper myself or if I just want to get a complete upper instead. I'm thinking a 16" m4 profile possibly, but have thought about going with something a little more oriented towards accuracy and long range shooting.

I had Bushmaster build me a 20" upper with a fluted barrel. It's noticeably lighter than a "standard" 20" barrel and is one hell of a shooter. Easy to recommend...... :cool:
 
Wasn't there a 500% tax increase on ammo, or was that just a bill/speculation that hasn't passed yet?
