A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

We have a lot of ranges doing Appleseed though. We're bailing as fast as we can!

I'd like "in" on two of those receivers please.

Is this open to FL residents only? or is there a shipping option to an FFL in MA?

I've consulted with the household accountant, and I'd like to up my order to two sets.

Thanks for spearheading this, Smoak!

Yaye!  I like the logo.  Thanks Smoak!  See you in a couple of weeks  ;)
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,

Well, I'm out.   The Massachusetts Attorney General just issued a re-interpretation of our laws to classify ALL semi-auto rifles as assault weapons, and are therefore BANNED.  None can be sold or transferred after today.

Any Semi-Auto rifle or shotgun.  The language is vague enough that it even targets our beloved 10/22... which is now classified as a 'weapon of war' according to The People's Republic of Massachusetts'.

Birthplace of the revolution... and the death of freedom.

Man, that's terrible!  The veterans of April 19th must be looking down in disgust.  I hope they decide to drop by to straighten some folks out  &)

If you're of a mind to vote with your feet, we'd welcome you with open arms here in TX!

 In the spirit of keeping everyone up to date, here we go.
The last logo I posted will be the logo. I am currently waiting on final pricing, but the person that took the order does not forsee a change in price.
Once I get pricing, I will post an order sheet. You will be free to order whatever combination of parts you wish.
This will be a single payment transaction. That means your order, funds, and FFL info will come to me. I will submit the total order, and the parts should be run in september/ October.
If you are going to need a rifle shipped, you will have to cover the shipping costs. If you can, groups of folks have parts shipped to a single FFL will save money.
Once I get pricing, I believe we will have a two week window in which to get the order placed

Update.
I just got word from the shop. The supplier of their castings is backed up. It will be 3 to 4 weeks to get castings. They will let me know when the castings are available. When they become available, they will be able to give me firm pricing and we can place oor order

Hi smoakingun, I know you're waiting for the final numbers to come in, but to clarify, the $180 estimate you mentioned back on July 5 included the stripped upper, lower and barrel nut, gas block and choice of handguard?

" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Hello,

Do you have an estimate for shipping to Pennsylvania and when will you need the money?

Thank you,

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Tried to send a PM, but not sure it went through. Is it too late to sign up for two?

What is the latest, if anything, on this?
My father didn't serve in WWII.  It wasn't for lack of trying.  He attempted to enlist 3 separate times.  The last time the doctor said he was too short.  He responded that he signed up again because he said he saw a poster that was recruiting short men to be pilots.  The doctor said, "Short, yes.  But this is ridiculous."  In my book, he's still a hero.

Just looking for an update on this, is there any eta on the timing of when we can expect the pricing and order sheet to come?

Thanks for the video link! That's a really good video.

I'm also interested in getting on the list for a set, once the parts are ready to order. Please keep me in the loop (I've tried to PM smoakingun, but I'm guessing that my new status on the forum is blocking that).

I don't check in enough, I'm in for one if not too late.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - CS Lewis
