    light weight aluminum driveshaft questions

    I went with a shaftmasters and it seems awesome I can't say that I gained anything but I'm sure there's a gain being lighter. I was swapping transmissions and didn't want to spend the close to 300 bucks on the new center support bearing. Anything to remove that bearing and simplify things seemed...

    That does make more sense to have the front sight further away on the end of the barrel. I also don't want to seem like I am on a magpul bandwagon. Just I want to stick with a few names for the rifle and not have a total mash of 20 different brands. I did see YHM has a full range of sights so I...

    I think the last time I was checking out the uppers, I was pretty set on an m4 flat upper. I was going to use magpul flip up front/rear sites on rails then later if I wanted to mount optics or carry handle I could. I'm not sure if that is an ideal setup or not but it is something I will look...

    Awesome, I'll definitely take you up on that when the time is ready. I've also not even begun to think about sights yet, baby steps. I think I'll stick with some basic iron sights, I'm not looking for a serious distance shooter with my first build.

    When it comes to the upper I am either buying complete or paying someone to build it from the parts I gather. From what I have seen, I don't have the tools needed to do it right and the cost of the tools would make it not worth while, at least for now.

    Cool, thanks for all the info. I think I'll finally have my lower finished and I might just have a barrel ready for when I start my upper build as well. I just don't want to get to far ahead of my self on the build though, I just want to get the lower complete then move forward($$$). I haven't...

    I have a yankee hill machine lower and was planning to go with them for my upper just to keep things as consistent as possible. I haven't even begun to decide what barrel to go with yet ha. Most likely 16" but beyond that I haven't decided. I might just go with a YHM complete upper and pick from...

    I should have added I have a mil spec receiver and am basing everything off it being mil spec, nothing commercial. Also 6 position is just what I have seen I didn't actually seek that out just seemed more common to me than the 4 or 5 position ones. I'm not set on any specific position number...

    I have a random question concerning my ar15(.223) build. I'm looking to complete the lower and want to go with a magpul 6 position MOE stock and I am having a tuff time deciding on the buffer tube assemble. I see they vary pretty greatly in price, from what I can see they go from $30 - $100+...

    UPDATED!! new -89 RETRO-SPEC front lip with pictures.

    I'd be curious as to what the shipping cost difference actually would be. The seam really does stick out and ruin the whole look but might be worth it if it's a huge cost difference...

    The truth about speed traps

    I've always herd that the state doesn't make That much money. The company that installs and maintains the photo radar traps makes most of the money off each ticket. Here in Az they are not renewing the contract for the high way photo radar traps because they weren't making the money off them. I...

    I, for one, welcome our new overlords

    The real question being, how long before someone puts an "i" in front of it and sells it to me? I feel that it would make my iPod much more "snappy".

    Carbon dating?

    I brought up the idea of everything created with the ability to evolve. The religious guys said yea they believe that just not when it comes to humans. Humans did not evolve they were created as is.

    Carbon dating?

    Right, I just re-read the original post and get that the link is gone haha... ---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ---------- I find the funniest thing is the guy who was going on about this boot made no mention of it being supposedly fossilized. He just...

    Awesome those are great, printing out a bunch for work tonight. Any hot topic to debate is good with me, I'm not out to convince anyone to believe in anything, just a fun discussion. the first link doesn't work by the way...

    Carbon dating?

    One thing someone keeps bringing up is that some boot was carbon dated and showed it was millions of years old and obviously it's a boot and not that old. To me that just shows an isolated case of someone screwing up not that carbon dating is not a valid way of testing. I also read some where...

    Carbon dating?

    At work carbon dating comes up a lot, a couple religious guys are of course claiming it's all a joke and not accurate. I've been looking for some good sites that show good info on it being valid or not. I don't want to start any kind of forum war, just looking for info on how it is accurate...

    Adding ES300 fog lights to my ride

    If your lenses turn out I would be interested if you start selling them ha. Mine are just as pitted as the ones in your pictures. What kind of heat can the plexi handle though? As it is my glass lenses are to hot to touch after a few minutes of light from the HIDs(35w).

    Adding ES300 fog lights to my ride

    I thought about doing something like that, just didn't know if I could make them better or worse ha. I also have 3000k HIDs in mine and the difference from standard h3 bulb is night and day.

    call me crazy

    When I still had my back seats they were awesome for bringing groceries home, the way they slant down/back held everything in place ha. As for putting people back there, yea useless.
