One piece gas ring, anti walk pins, noveske flash suppressor, dueck canted BUIS, magpul stock and mag pul trigger guard I have. still looking for nanolube locally so using militech products from waldorf maryland (near my old navy EOD school)...

I have 4 different AR’s , 2 are HBAR sodpoodle / coyote sniper rigs and one described above is a NFA SBR. Last is a NIB Bushmaster that is being worked this winter for reliability and with also be a NFA SBR at some point. I think it’s upper will go into the spare parts bin and I’m looking to build it as a “piston” gun. (comments sought). I have used the Hk 416’s and love em thus far as they stay clean and cool for 3 gun matches and pucker factor phire phites.....:o)

My HBAR’s have Timmney drop in “skeletonized” and competition triggers with HART barrels. One is in 6.5mm Grendel as I was building a rig to try Col. Jeff Cooper’s 20/20/20 challenge — 20 rounds into a 20-inch circle in 20 seconds or less at 1000 yards..... it was an expensive hobby for about six months of range time and lots of reloading.....:o) BTW that is my most accurate semi auto “mouse gun” rig.

Grateful for your time as always..... gonna be a good year at the bench, building, overhauling and reloading for next springs fun.

Stay safe !

still looking for nanolube locally

Sorry for the late, late reply, but I just noticed your comment. I'm afraid Nanolube is only available online. I consider it a "secret weapon", and a lot of people don't like giving away their secrets. There are two competing products, and inventors, and both have a fuzzy grasp of names that should have been trademarked. I buy my lube from http://www.diamondlube.com/. Get the smallest size, and give it a try, especially on stainless-on-stainless applications.

While confessing to my shortcomings, I have to admit that I missed most of September, which celebrated National Preparedness Month. I completed the rebuild of my bailout bag with a new, slightly bigger Maxpedition bag. It's a bit heavy, but it has everything the government recommends, along with extra supplies for cold/wet weather, which is always a consideration in the cold, soggy (10 inches more rain than normal this summer) Midwest.

I must admit that the government documents made no mention of weaponry, but I'll write that off on sloppy editing. I had a spare 9mm in the bag previously, but I recognized that I have this habit of trying to stuff an extra dozen loaded mags in with it. Further pondering convinced me that if I can grab a rifle, I'll depend on that, and not some puny handgun. Or if I have to live out of this bag alone, I want to avoid any interactions involving a handgun, if I can possibly avoid it.

I concluded that I need something that can be effective on both two- and four-legged vermin. Little Smith fills the bill with just 36 rounds of ammo in speedloaders, including six rounds of shot shells. Now that I think of it, this is exactly what I would pack in a bag if I was a bush pilot, too.

The final advantage is that a lot of people aren't impressed with some 9mm handgun, but nobody should have any trouble recognizing what that big shiny thing is.

Next year, I promise to send out National Preparedness Month cards to all of my friends weeks in advance. And maybe the official documents will be corrected by then.
