I wish I still lived up there, could have helped with your car. I grew up 40 minutes away from you. I'm going to make some calls tomorrow and maybe I can hook you up with a mechanic in the Lake Geneva/Burlington area. I'll PM you when I know something.

Sounds good! We've lived around here for some time, but honestly don't have a great deal of contacts.
Get up, shower, go to work, work all day, go home and go to sleep.

I've had the shit kicked out of me since February 2014 when my father died and my family almost made me have a nervous breakdown.

People keep saying 'hang in there', and while it's a nice sentiment, it would be nice if things actually started to look up for once.

Hang in there man! Truly things will turn around.

Will do. I think I should be able to score a handguard with the upper, but I'll let it be known, if that's not the case. Thank you.

I sent 100 rounds of wolf gold and 40 rounds of Federal LE for an HD mag to be delivered from SGA. It looks like the gun is pretty much covered, but if anyone else is looking to donate, some more range ammo wouldn't hurt!

Bummer dude. But it could be worse.

Dec 2nd my wife got rear ended, she and my son went to the hospital to get checked out. Car totalled. And the auto insurance has its head up a dark and smelly place. 2 weeks later she calls me at work and tells me her neck & jaw are hurting-- classic heart attack symptoms. Back to the heart hospital. (She's better now, it wasn't a real heart attack but serious enough.) Now I have been out of work off & on for 3-4 weeks with bronchitis. And since November, my truck has been broken into twice-- second time they tried to steal it. I've spent over $500 trying to keep it on the road.

Hope things get better real soon.

Damn

I have family down there in Albuquerque, and home burglaries, car thefts and break-ins are the order of the day. My wife's son's Chevy Avalanche was broken into on the west side of town, and the fuckers completely missed the sidearm he had under the seat, thankfully. That wasn't as bad as my BIL who had his truck stolen on base at Kirkland AFB, never to be seen again.

I love that city, but the crime is way higher than it should be.

Not sure where you're at Frank, but I wish you best and hope you get back up on your feet again.

I was checking back in on this post. I'm happy this community rallies together to help someone who's in need or down on their luck.

Now I can't really help much since I'm actually on a strict budget due to my own unlucky circumstances lately, I'd be happy to donate some roll pins or a gas tube

I don't think so. I'm guessing that small pieces (pins, etc...) are in the LPK (been years since I looked at one) and I'll just need to get a couple punches and a buffer tube wrench. I'm thinking I may need to send out for a couple small parts depending on what comes with when this stuff starts coming in, but that should be NBD.

Thank you for your desire to partake.

Thank you, but I've got sufficient funds for an upper, and have never built an upper, so I fear I would be a little out of my element there, and don't have the vise and whatever else to accomplish that.

Thank you again for your offer though.

Just reread that...jeesh talkabout a run-on sentence. Lol.

In the last 15 months my wife lost her mother, father and our youngest son. Everything else is just money, Been down your path several times myself. Just retired and looking forward to the so called golden years. Now I need a dental implant that is going to set me back $5,000 or so.

Worked for a company with a pension plan for over 40 years, My pension is $132. 53 a month, $2,400 per month less than promised for someone at my pay grade. "Oooops! We changed a few things."

But again it's only money, I have enough to get by and still have some fun. Plus grandkids are the best invention ever!

Looking back we seem to have made it through 40 1/2 years of marriage okay so far. We are not unique in any regard. All in all it has been a pretty good ride. I have always believed that everything that happens, happens to the better. It may suck when you go through it, but looking back you realize how much stronger it made you. Both as an individual and hopefully as a couple too.

To quote from my hero Red Green: "Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together."

I know you already have offers in on these parts but consider this a backup if the others fall through:

- pistol grip
- trigger group
- carbine length hand guards
- I also have a never fired complete upper for sale and if its within $50 of your funds I will cover the difference as a 'good will' write off
