You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt

What are "M05 edges"?
If you ordered the rifle from Templar, what was the wait time?

my wait time was under a month probably.
edit: when it shipped it shipped fast and cheap, insured and very well protected.

Stan, that's the new Finnish digital camouflage scheme, M05, which was developed in 2005, and started hitting operational issue in 2007. What I like about it as far as digital patterns go is that it has a lot of 45 degree angles, versus everything being right angles oriented to the vertical and horizontal planes. They have different variations of it, in woodland, cold weather, snow, and desert. They have maintained extremely tight controls on the fabric as to not make it available to foreign nations, since Russia has always copied the Finnish camo patterns with the intention of their Spetsnaz troops infiltrating while wearing them to confuse Finnish Defense Forces. I have confirmed this with former Spetsnaz soldiers, "Да, конечно, Pol."

The wikipedia article is actually decent on this, believe it or not.
Some of the little attention to details that I'm noticing about Templar's work is that the upper receiver is blue-printed, meaning the receiver extension face has been trued to the bore axis and barrel extension flange abutment. The barrels are match-grade, top-end units, Yut's is a Bartlein progressive-rifled 1/8.75"-1/8.5", and the chamber has been polished to enhance reliability and brass life. There are also substantial set screw recesses for the gas block, and the gas port is cut to .085" on a rifle-length gas system with a 20" barrel. The muzzle threading is some of the best thread-cutting I have seen, as I typically see shoddy work when it comes to most muzzle threads. The crown is recessed and precision-cut, and very well executed...very sharp, very square.
The lower has a generous flare to the mag well, and the take-down detent & spring channel is captivated by a set screw, with the end of the channel tapped and threaded. The FAST rail has 4 indexing tabs that literally ensure a perfect alignment of the upper receiver rail with the handguard's 12 o'clock rail, so no need to eye-ball it and hope it lines up properly.
I wish i had known about these features on the Templar lowers months ago, because it would have influenced my decision when I bought the PSA lowers. I would recommend the Templar lowers over other standard lowers now, because of the mag well and captivated take-down pin detent/spring channel. Anodizing is really clean as well, as is the surface of the lower. Good stuff really...
Better review then i couldve written. Whenever someone asks about templar ill just direct em here lol.
Thanks Paul
Just got the stripped parts out of the heated solution bath, getting ready for acetone bath...
I'm really interested to see how this Bartlein pipe shoots...If it's anything like my .260's Bartlein, your rifle might go missing... 
Hahaha. If thats the case theres a road trip in my near future

I used to keep up with this sorta stuff.

Hey, Pol. You ponimaieti porusski?  (Yeah, I know, that's atrocious. Best I can do after so many years away from my college Russian class. :o )
I hate to go off-topic, but I hope that maybe you can translate a couple of words in the TV mini-series, Grozovye Vorota.
As best I can put them into English, they sound like "nit" and "piyachelay" -- and are used numerous times throughout the series.
For instance, in the segment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQbNo8xmzIo "nit" is heard at 1:59, 2:44, 5:59, 6:15, 6:17, 6:21, and although it sounds rather like Russian for "no", it seems to be used as an acknowledgement similar to American English "okay" or "roger".
When "piyachelay" is used at 3:34, 7:18, 7:44, it appears to be analogous to "Let's go!" or "Move out!"
Can you please provide a correct translation?
It's "ectb" at 1:59, 2:44, etc., meaning "it is". "poyachely" means "they came by way of conveyance (tank)". "Pashli" is related, which is commonly used as an idiomatic form to say "we're outta here", commonly understood simply as "let's go" to outsiders. I had to consult my dad, who is a fairly fluent Russian speaker.
You need to see 9th Rota. It's about a Soviet Infantry Company that gets forgotten during the Soviet Withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989 I think, based on a true story. Great film with real Hind-E's, Soviet trucks, uniforms, equipment, and so forth. I saw it several times in the theater when it came out in Helsinki, since it was a joint Finn-Ukrainian project I think.
