If you're looking for a good veteran owned shop, I suggest Complete Arms in Kendallville. They have a nice selection and currently doing a giveaway for a slick looking Tikka rifle that I just saw in person. Check out their Facebook for giveaway details.

My upgrade arrived, the Super Safety! It's a crossbolt safety like some shotguns that also has a forced reset but at a 1/4 of the price of most FRTs. When slid all the way to the left side it is safe, all the way to the right is semi and centered is the reset position. In the video I demonstrate semi with the first shot and the reset setting to finish up the mag. Forgive the video shake, my wife's phone was acting weird. I let up on the trigger at the end. And yes I know my stance sucked.

Finally got all the parts and the last tool that I needed to build my project. My M16 replica with replica M7 bayonet. I've wanted to build one for a while and finally have it. 20 inch HBar in 556, A2 sights and real carry handle upper and furniture. It was kind of a learning lesson for me because I've never assembled the A2 rear sight before. If you stop learning, you aren't doing it right.

Finally got my new optic Friday and mounted today. It's a Primary Arms SLX 3x micro prism. Nice little optic, perfect for people like myself with astigmatism. 13 levels of green illumination and shake awake and the ability to run it with the illuminator off because the reticle is etched on the glass.

Got most of the upgrades done on my personal A.R. Stinger Mlok fore end, Fiachi light mount, Strike Industries shorty grip and textured slot covers, and Warrior Poet Society sling. I also put my irons on 45 degree mounts to make room for my prism scope that I plan to get soon.

Got to check out and play around with this little thing. Rohm .22 short revolver from Germany. It's a fun little shooter but a pain in the ass to remove the cylinder. They are not very popular and resale really cheap.

Once the USPS pulls their heads out of their asses, there will be upgrades happening to my AR
