Jigged, and ready to be rigged!I've got some cosmetic bits for it that aren't in the picture also... Palmetto State Arms 5.56 ar15 goodness.
I just need to stop being lazy and get a router.
Did CA change any of the laws on 80% lowers?
I think they did, but I really don't care
Where there's a will, there's a way!
Love it
I've actually had this one for a couple months anyway - honestly just forgot to get it finished due to travel and working on getting the Jeep transformed.Love it
I'm going to correct that soon, however. It's desert shooting season, and the pistolas aren't quite enough
OP
Very cool! So this is sort of like an MP5 in the sense that it shoots pistol rounds?
I've been wanting to buy an MP5 for a while, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice for a "sub machine gun" type weapon.
Just because it's not a .45 doesn't mean it's not a good sub machine gun!
The MP5 is a superb weapon.
OP
Oh no, I'm not discrediting the MP5, I know it's an excellent weapon, otherwise law enforcement and other agencies wouldn't use them! I just didn't know if there was a better option.
What about an M1A1 Thompson?
I remember seeing a documentary where an officer preferred the .45 cartridge, so he opted for a Thompson instead of a shotgun in the gun rack!
OP
That's true. If you acquire all your guns over time, it'll give you something to look forward to!
You can help the itch though by buying ammo! It helps me..!
OP
That's what I've been doing... stocking up on the ammo! Haha
Is that a directive from your wife
Surprisingly she doesn't seem to mind. In fact, just the other day she suggested I teach our 4 year old daughter to shoot. I said not a bad idea, I'll get her a nice little .22 and that would be great to learn on.
your wife sounds like a keeper. Lets you have a TJ...check, wants you to buy a 4Runner...check, likes guns....check. If she drinks beer, put her up on a pedestal and worship her.
OP
Haha, I think she just kind of rolls with it. Like she knows that I wouldn't choose anything stupid (whether it be a car, gun, etc.), so she just sort of let's me have free reign.
Cars for instance: she would never tell me we need to get _________ kind of car, because she knows zero about cars whatsoever, and she knows I wouldn't choose something shitty since I've been a car person my whole life.
OP
I've been buying all my accessories (i.e. Magpul buttstock, Trikicon ACOG, etc.) in the FDE color, so I don't think I'll realistically need to spray paint anything at all. Looks like I might just be able to strip the rifle down and take it into a local place I found that does this Cerakote. I could have them match the FDE color to the accessories and be good to go!
However, I totally see what you're saying about spray paint.
I gotcha. So you can use all the AR accessories on this thing, whereas an MP5 I assume you'd have to have MP5 specific accessories?
Pretty cool about no recoil. I've never fired an MP5 so I don't know how those things are in regards to recoil.
