I would just like to say thank you to HipShOT for all of the "heads-ups" he has been giving us. For many, they do not have the time to check the EE or GB on a regular basis and having someone take the time and thoughtfulness to look for retro items and give us a heads-up on them is commendable.

Thanks. I will post most my heads ups in here from now on, unless there is an uber rare item available. I think the problem is there was too many taking away from the tech threads, if I consolidate them all in a single thread so the front page doesn't get jammed up with heads up it will be better.

An official heads up thread is a great idea! Sorry if I came accross as shitty in the other thread, hasn't been my kinda day, spouted a little.

My response with your quotes was more or less directed to all who hit the report button. Why not come forth and say, "Man, that's a little overkill".

That C MP C barrel would be sweet to have, if I had the money to spend right now. I just picked up one for the XM16E1 build and I will eventually need one for the M16A1 build I have planned as well.
