Nice score! Holy crap, hope you didn't pay too much. I still need a buffer/tube/spring for my DGW build.

10-8 Performance Sights
My biggest gripe about Glocks are the factory sights. They're typically plastic and fragile. The rear sight is also distracting. So after some research, I decided to pick up a pair of 10-8 Performance Sights for my Glocks. The pictures below are deceiving. They make it seem like the front sights are skinny. That's just a trick of the camera. They're much fuller and fill the rear sight more than they appear. Be warned, file work, finesse, and patience was required for installation.
Glock 17 - .156 width serrated U-notch rear sight with .125 width fiber optic front sight.
Glock 26 - .156 width serrated U-notch rear sight with .125 width tritium front sight.
Rear sights on both Glocks. Installation was easy with a MGW rear sight pusher.

My initial impressions are very good, seems like a winner. Pew! Pew! Pew!

Alex, try shooting 38 specials through that revolver and it will be like shooting a 22! And, yes you know you need a 4" version as well![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Haha yup, grabbed a box of .38spl and .357 magnum while I was there. Figure I'll get the motions down with the 38 and then go bananas with the 357.
I paid 145 for the upper including the dust cover and forward assist. I'd say that's probably slightly above pre panic buying but not horrible. American weapon systems in rindge had the buffer tube spring etc.

Some new Magpul furniture for my M&P sport...MOE hand guard, and MOE AVG foregrip, and the MIAD has been on there for a while...

I Exercised today (My right to keep and bear arms I mean)
Another 45 minutes well spent at Zero Hour.
First up is a Daewoo DR200. Gas piston 5.56 without the thumbhole stock (thank god). I have a K1A1 and it is one of my favorite rifles. Unfired.
Next up is a Polytech RPK in 5.56 that uses Galil mags. Good thing I have two pre-ban 50 rounders clipped together to feed this beast.
Of course I went in there looking for a pre-ban AK type in 7.62x39 since that is the only ammo I see available anywhere...but I come out with two more rifles in 5.56. Oh well, it could be worse and I could have walked out empty handed.

CZ 527M Carbine in 7.62x39mm
If you end up at one of the NH shoots please bring that rifle.
Some nice acquisitions there folks!
I had a busy day:
(click to embiggen)
Mossberg 590A1
broseph you need a knife for the end of that gun.
Will do! I shot it today, not used to these sights and they need a little adjustment. I'm probably going to scope it anyway. The trigger is fantastic.
Yeah... well this is the 18.5" version, there's no bayo lug. I probably would've bought a 20" had one been available...

Thanks Beaker. I really like my K1A1. One of the nicest shooting rifles I have ever owned, let alone AR types. It is very light weight. The only thing I don't like is the really long safety movement. They make aftermarket bits that make it more like an AR. Can't wait to get some ammo so I can shoot them!
noooooooooooooooooo! not the 18.5 model!
want the part #s so you can call mossberg and get the 20" barrel, mag tube, spring, and retainer? i have them from when acme and i dealt with 'em as i traded my 500 to adam for my 590.

I already have a Choate +1 (though I've heard from some it can be +2) extension along with a new follower and spring on order. Those other parts would have to be pretty cheap (and I'm sure they're not) to get me to order them...
Finally was able to get the rest of what I needed to finish my build.
2009 Remsport NES lower
Group buy BCM stripped upper w/ parts kit
Group buy lower parts kit
Pinned stock
Remsport 14.5" M4 stainless barrel
YHM phantom muzzle break
A2 front sight
Karma handguard
Still need to add a rear sight and an intermediate optic.

Vector V53 .223 cal
Finally found what I had been searching high and low for; the new Surefire SFMB-556 muzzle brake. Shame my Noveske SPR barrel is going to get pinned, but I figured I'd get something worthy of it... not that the guys along side me may agree.
NICE!!!!!!
finally finished my ar10 build!
