When you switch to the B&C, keep me in mind for that Hogue.

Will do. I have the varmint stock and everything to go with it I would let go.

I've got the varmint stock on mine already. That was quite the upgrade from the youth stock. Especially since I did the BDL conversion. Actually, I'm not 100% that would use the Hogue stock on my current rifle. Maybe a .300WSM or .300 SA Ultra Mag. I need to compare ballistics of those two with .300WM for my all-encompasing North America rifle.

I have been part of putting 1000's of rounds through both the WSM and the Win Mag, The WSM would be my choice.
Lots to cover on why but like I said many many 1000's of rounds shot for accuracy.
Side track:
Dug this out while I was back in WA, 1000yds, under 1 moa, 10 shots. 284 Win, 180gr Bergers. My best was just under 7 inches, not record setting but I had a blast doing it.

Never realized how nice flip up scope caps were until I finally purchased some. Picked up some Butler Creek flip ups today for the Rem 700 and also ordered the bolt knob. Going to try my hand at threading the bolt myself...
Also thinking about polishing the bolt but haven't made up my mind yet.

Picked up my M16A1 last night from the armorer. New BCG & charging handle, but otherwise original. Definitely not tacti-cool but it will get the job done

Oh, damn!! Byron gets to use the business switch! And you know those iron sights will never let you down!
How do you like the length of pull on the A1 stock? Seems a touch short for my tastes.

I was actually scared to do the knob myself. I should have tried though. It seems fairly straight forward. I just didn't feel like running the risk of needing a new bolt.
Not 100% sure about this, but I think the black coating on the bolt holds lube better than the polished bolt. Unless you do the jeweling. (I do know this for sure) Jeweling actually makes the bolt diameter a touch larger and holds lube very well. The larger diameter helps with keeping the bolt true. Though not nearly as well as getting the entire action trued.
Someday I'll have a nice rifle with trued action... Someday.

My business switch doesn't work, it has semi-auto guts. Our local gun shop can't get the right parts and the Sheriff said just to leave it semi. :bs:
Stock is alright, not the best though. As much as I would love to geek it out, it's not my rifle and no spare $ for it. I would like to get a different foregrip for it though, every time I pick it up I feel like I'm back in 'Nam.

What kind of idiot thought it would be alright to take out the auto components? I just don't get it. If it was built before 86, it's legal to own...why change it?! It sickens me.
A2 furniture is pretty easy to come by. Although, that's not really geeking it out. There are some really sweet rifle furniture sets out there.
When I finally get around to building my 7.62x39 hunting rifle, it will have this stock in lieu of the standard A2.
Of course, I'm sure you know about all kinds of mods for ARs... I just can't stop searching, reading and talking about them when I get the chance.

Something internal was dicked up, hence the new BCG. Wish it had stayed full auto, but oh well. The likelyhood of ever using full auto on duty is very low.
I'm admittedly an AR noob, more of a shotgun and pistol guy.

I'm an AR noob as well.
I are allowed to have them, pending a course we have to take locally. We just have to have our own.

So you can carry them but aren't issued? Well, it's YOUR weapon, you can write it off and get a LEO discount from a lot of companies.
If I were you, I wouldn't need anymore reasons to justify the purchase!
Hell, I didn't even need those reasons for myself...
I'd like to take a tactical carbine class.

We have so many guys with them now that you still need the guy that can go hands on and put folks into custody. Not uncommon to have a hot run and 18 out of 20 guys are getting out with a long gun...
I'll get one eventually...

I thought even if it was pre-ban, if you purchased it after '86, you had to have a class 3 stamp. Even if someone makes it semi-auto, the serial number classifies it as a machine gun.

Dunno. It was issued from my department.
