Waiting period minimum of 30 days; and,
Extensive background check even for private sales.

That's just a start. It bothers me that there's more paperwork to purchase a car than a firearm.

What do you think of the Texas law enabling anybody to carry a concealed weapon with no training or background check whatsoever?

That brings me to 4 MCX variants!

Beautiful weapon.

Kicking myself somewhat for just selling my MCX Virtus pistol to fund some other…toys. They're great firearms.

What other variants do you have?

It's no different than Arizona and many other states.

I like that. I'm going to build myself a frunk gun this year (…the equivalent of a truck gun, but for the 992's front storage ). It'll be a folding AR pistol and I'm going to cerakote portions of it Chalk Gray or make it black/Chalk Gray camo. I have yet to decide on caliber, but it will have an Elftmann PRO trigger, likely a FAXON barrel and BCG, and some Strike Industries goodies.

That's an answer, but not really an answer to the question.

It doesn't bother me. That's what I think about it. Again, let's stay away from the politics and stick to discussions about the firearms themselves rather than the laws/politics surrounding them. We got away with it for quite some time and the mods made their point yesterday.

Has anyone been seeing almost a year lead time in getting AR parts? Atheris Rifle is claiming they can't get parts and some orders I've been reading about have been waiting over a year. I'm going on 10 months waiting for mine. According to Atheris mine has been at cerakote for 4 months now.

Only minutely. Most places I order parts from (….Optics Planet, Granite Ridge, RightToBear, Joe Bob outfitters, Strike Industries, FAXON, Radian, etc.) generally ship parts within a few days to a week. Every once in awhile a part may have an extended ETA backorder, but it's rare.

A Buddy of mine runs a really well known firearms company based here in California. About a month ago I stopped by and was able to fondle some grenade launchers (…that he cannot sell to me ). One is stand-alone and the other attaches to an AR platform rifle. I want one so bad.

And going back to the law, or really lack there of, I've been a proponent of the concealed carry law here in Texas for a long time. The law where you had to take a class and have experience with your firearm before you could carry it around concealed. I thought it was a great deterrent to would-be criminals.

But the new law, where actually there is no law, where you can conceal your gun, even if you just bought it, you've never fired it before, and you are not necessarily very good at situational awareness, that seems like one of the worst ideas and one of the worst laws ever passed in the state of Texas.

Sorry if this gets in trouble with the mods, I was not aware there's been any intervention when I read the last few pages.

I work in law enforcement. I can tell you that the response(s) to these situations are calculated and measured. Take this post to my cop thread and I'll address it there.

Nice rig you have there. You even used accent pillows as the backdrop. Look at you!

Add a Geissele SD if you don't have one. Love mine. Sold my Stag because of it.

No I have a JP upper on order to use with a lower I already have

A quick perusal found a couple places that will do this kind of stuff professionally. Not sure how long you would be without your gun and maybe spending an additional $185 on an inexpensive gun isn't appealing but here is a link to one such gunsmith doing this work.

Thanks, guys. My problem is quite small, even child-like hands. I tried (and quit, for now) picking up the guitar, but found my fingers too short. There's no way I can bridge and most of the time I'm muting the strings I'm not fingering. I even picked up the bass, but after a year of struggling to reach between frets, I bought a short scale; which has helped a LOT.

My problem with the G26 is I have to rotate my hand around enough that the joint of my thumb is right under the slide. Firing gets painful on that joint after a short while. I shoot it well enough, it's just painful. I'm just not sure I want to go as far as to "destroy" the grip. I'll have to get this more thought...

What about the Glock 43X or Sig P365?

I'll have to look into those; maybe a trade? The Glock's grip is wider than either my XDS or SR9c. I shoot the XDS the best (which is marginally better at best), but it is rather heavy for all-day carry. I've been carrying the SR9c for the last week or so and as I shoot it as well as the XDS, I prefer it now.

I guess I have some research to do.
