What? The uppers run about 100 bucks or so don't they?

And doesn't that have to be shipped to an FFL licensed shop?? Or is that the lower for the AR??

Hunting small game. I love using a slingshot. Works pretty well for chasing bare-headed buzzards too. And when the neighbours cows start pushing through our fence I just let some ammo fly. Won't hurt them one bit. Big advantage: I have complete control over the power and range.

It's the lower that is regulated.

yeah, they do that's why I waited for a good deal when buying my parts. Paying full cost is for suckers

free upper with barrel = sweeeeet!

and no FFL required. Only the lower receiver (which I have had for months) needs to go through an FFL because that is the serialized part. all other parts can go through the mail.

Well, my brother finally called. He is near Park Fall Wisconsin {around 100 miles east of his own place} helping a buddy rebuild his cabin. He left his phone at home, didn't think he would need it. Since his phone kept going directly to voice mail I called my sister who lives fairly near to him and asked if she knew if he was still around. She called some of his other friends and eventually got him and told him to call me.

They are staying in a camper because the cabin took a lot of damage through the winter. They are pretty much tearing the cabin down and trying to salvage what they can for lumber to start over with.

It was built mostly out of an old barn to start with.

He says in a month or so he should be back to his place and will get me some pictures of his mini jammer then.
