In either case you are then stuck with that muzzle device (not totally, but, kind of, depending)
If you went full ****ing retard on a Guys Lee would it be a Super Duty or a McRifle MK1?

I have a 14.5 pinned and I’m a big fan of pinning. I like getting as short as possible without SBRing.

Get a ****ty Rem 700. Upgrade the trigger, call Proof Research for a barrel, and get an AI, Cadex, Macmillan, or Magpul stock.
Do you have a budget?

At this point, any gun purchase I make is a "just because" thing with no practicality or real reason behind it. I already have way more than I shoot.

Time to decompress a bit . . . poured a nice gass of Bulleit rye, settled down in my favorite chair, and gonna watch some football. Maybe take a little nap.
Busy day. Up at 5am to get the turkey and other stuff going. Ate around Noon and hung out for a bit chatting. Got the dishwasher loaded up for round 2 of cleanup. Got the carcass from the turkey in the Instant Pot right now to chef up some fresh stock since we ran out of gravy. Need to whip up another batch for leftovers.

I pretty much always eat Thanksgiving food for dinner that night . . . and then usually a couple meals the next day at least. Good stuff.

Pisses me off though because that place has always been an echo chamber. They ban anyone that disagrees with their bandwagon themes. And now that brownells has bought them it’s gotten even worse. But at the same time, it helps me kill a lot of time throughout the day and most forums are completely dead. Arfcom is one of the few that are still going strong and active.

Plus a livestream tonight at 0930 ET to announce more stuff.
Black Friday is the best time to order anything from Geissele.
I will need to try out one of their fancy BCGs on a build one of these days...
