I got a backorder notice from Botach today for the 3 pack of PMAGS I ordered last week. Replied telling them to cancel the order and that I'd never do business with with them again.

I'm going to keep the backorder though since $15 each for a pmag is pre-panic price. Its not like I'll be losing out if they eventually ship

I am a big fan of the ville. Planned on moving there when kids came into the picture but might jump the gun by a few years, ha.
Not seeing a ton of engineering stuff there though. Might just look in Nola and commute.

Wish I would have waited and picked up that 18" upper. I have half that in just my Rock Creek SPR barrel.

I am wondering about that one and the DD I just purchased from them, I think the DD still has a complete front sight post, while this one doesnt. Not an incredibly difficult fix, but still
Now I am looking at the specs and I think I did well. That barrel is twice as thick as standard mil-spec, so its likely much heavier, and the Yankee Hill handguards are a whopping 21.44 oz. The Fortis rail I am putting on the DD is 9 oz, while the DD Lite rail it comes with is 11oz.
Add all that and that its a rifle length gas system, I think I am better off with the DD.

Posted on 3/11/13 at 6:53 pm to Uncle JackD
Yeah, I'm not sure. I think it could work with FDE I wanna say I've seen a pic.or two of one. I'm still trying to figure out my furniture color.

You carrying it anywhere? Why the worry about weight? I carried my bolt gun which is a beast hunting. It wasnt as bad as most make it out to be.

Just personal preference. If I wanted a heavy AR I would go for an AR-10 and a heavier, harder hitting round. Weight is one of the biggest reasons that we are all using the 5.56 instead of the 7.62 anyway. I do plan on training with this weapon some day, and if I ever need to carry it, weight isn't something I want to be concerned with.
Add that with knowing the SO is going to be the one that enjoys shooting this one the most, weight becomes even more of a factor.

Anyone familiar with Wheeler Engineering products? Bout to embark on my first upper build and i scored this LINK . I dont know if its a brand new product or what, cant really find any reviews on it. But it seems well made and was a great price for a multi tool and torque wrench combo.
