Many thanks to John and to all of you. I'm right glad to be here! FWIW, I've never met a Texan I didn't like (well, maybe LBJ but I was just a kid, back then) BTW, did ya know a 14-year-old Georgia girl had a really big part in the Texas state flag? 'Twas way before our time but you Texans thought so much of her that y'all and a Georgia governor had her disinterred and then reburied in Texas soil. See: https://genealogytrails.com/geo/crawford/bio_troutman.html
Now then, where's my 'stimulus' money?!? Like it would do me much good now (HA! Don't EVEN get me started!!!) I got a pair of DPMS stripped upper and lower sets in ATACS AU camo from JSE Surplus a few years ago and have built both in 5.56 Would like to convert one over to 6.5 G but it seems there are very few barrels available. Bolts are even more scarce. And does the bigger bolt and cartridge require a bigger carrier? Yeah, I got a question or 200... like why did a dumb hillbilly like me decide to get into another platform in the midst of the biggest gun, gun parts, and ammo shortage in my life? I reckon I just like doin' things the hard way...
