Ha! Red Jacket? I wouldn't pay those clowns to build a rifle when I do it for a living... and for fun. Speaking of, I just finished my second AR build. Got an Aimpoint P.R.O. on backorder, too. I'm salivating just WAITING for it to become available. Last I checked, they're in Customs, and the orders could be filled pretty soon, here...
Not demo, but bomber racing. XD Season starts in Feb, and I should hopefully be able to have her running and altered by then!!
Finding rings is no problem. They are ALL OVER eBay (Praise Cheezus for eBay motors). I was trying to be cheap and sneaky and was using a hose clamp instead of an actual compression tool. It lead to many hours of swearing, and then finally, I broke a ring. So I have to re-order those AND a proper compression tool. I guess they say "right tool for the job" for a reason.
Blarg. HOWEVER, once I get the pistons back in, the rest of the engine should be a-ok for a start up.... And of course, I probably just jinxed myself. *sigh*
How goes your projects? Or is it finally too cool in your land to be spending hours outside tinkering? Or are your comp issues eating up any extra funding for now?
VERY COOL link. Thanks a ton!! Will have to review it better tonight at home with the boyfriend to see if we want to drive out there to haul stuff back. At the prices some of those things are going for, I might be willing to try it.
I fly out on the morning of the 8th, so that probably wouldn't work. However, I'll be out in DC for a week over thanksgiving time. So I should be in your direction then.
