eForm 4s are still down. Are paper Form 4s just taking 3 months now? I have a late November paper Form 4 I'm still waiting on that should be approved soon if so.

I've seen some people report around 86 days on a Form 4. Not sure how common, but I would say under 4 months safe bet.

Are you seeing the Heli-Coil insert and thinking something is wrong with the threads?   A heli-Coil is a hardened stainless steel thread insert that is often used in aluminum parts.

I just got in a DD FDE MK18 RIS II and the DD mk12/18 low pro gas block.  Is there anything special that I should be aware of when installing the gas block on to an LMT 10.5 ?  I am interested in pinning in and wanted to know if the original  LMT FSP is pinned in place?

Painted one of my upper and stock this morning. What you guys think of the color? Should have more brown?
I know it would be looked a lot of better if I paint the lower too, but no way I'd ever done that.

Mine went pending Sep 12th, approved December 29. They're going quick.

Unfortunately, state of Oregon says I can't pick up firearms stuff the OSP finishes the 45 day background check they decide I needed which is now on day 60 something.

Ruben has been selling NIB transferable A2s for $39K, WITHOUT GOV PROP markings, IDK what you paid for yours but if you painted and stripped that receiver you are still going to get $35 plus for it if not more.  Refinishing, etc does not effect the value of these Colts like people talk about.  You are going to pay the same  dollars for a refinished A1 as you woul a pristine A1, or at least someone is going to. Ruben refinishes a large portion of his guns and they sell for the same dollars, and Ruben does not negotiate on price.  All that said I am not going to paint mine either but the hit is nowhere near what people like to "claim/say"

I like it. Sometimes the brown is too strong. You should paint that lower though. Its not like its worth anything.


That's a transferable NIB Colt M16A2 lower with us govern property marked. It's value will be decreased at least 10k if I paint it.

High speed low drag brother.
Adds 33.6 horsepower at the crankshaft, and eleventeen foot lbs torque.

Don't mind me, im just drinking tequila and IPA's with my block II. Shes drinking CLP light.

Seriously tho, whats up with all the backwards front sights lately (not including the KAC P/N 99051) that one gets a free pass.

Got a question, is the Eotech Exps 3-2  kosher, or just the 3-0?

Nobody would even be able to tell which you had unless you took a pic of the reticle. Pick whichever one works best for you. I prefer the -0 because the drop reticles make the sight picture too busy for me.

Anyone have a gen 1 LMT SOPMOD buttstock in FDE they're willing to part with? Either trade for my black gen 1 or sell outright? Thought I'd check here first. Thanks.
