Here's what I'm looking forward to on Saturday. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5GOBNsUMQeJWWU2WnNIeTlZdzA/edit Hopefully I can get hatcam working by then. 
It'll have to go on top of the brim, under would be cooler, but it would also get in the way of the sight.

Exactly.
Eventually I'd like to give these guys some more focused competition, but I have a long ways to go to get there. Practice, practice, practice! I'm going to look into getting a 22 rifle for the initial training, it's MUCH cheaper. 100 rds/ weekend makes $240/ month for the carbine, and $40/ month for a 22 lr. Easy math.

a 10/22 is a good place to be if Commiefornia hasnt outlawed them cause they are semi auto....love mine, prolly the best plinking rifle in existence plus you can customize them like crazy and do all the work yourself and not pay a gun smith....also have a Savage 93 bolt action but its in 17HMR not 22 but you can get them in it....very accurate gun aswell

Part of a post from yesterday's match:
honorable mentions from a busy match:
- vince quite successfully ran the course with his BAR
- daniel also got his surprisingly good looking commie rifle working pretty well
- katie owned the near plate but her M1 carbine ran out of steam past that
I am looking more seriously into getting something more reliable out to 200 yds, as well as an affordable 22 lr to practice with.

I don't know much about Art, but I know he's a cop, and by some comments he made yesterday, a Marine. The comment was funny, and I liked it. We had just finished bringing in the steels when the rain started coming down in buckets. He said: "Now this is good day, for a Marine." I had to agree, it would have been very fun playing in the rain, it was warm. Alas, my carbine started turning colors in just the few sprinkles it got. I should get that AR, they're like Timexes.
I'm thinking realy hard about selling the carbine so that I can get that AR lower. I'd be basically trading one semi-auto for a better one. I'm told that you can get a wood stock and stuff for it, so it doesn't look as ugly.

an AR with a wood stock looks wierd.....dont get me wrong i love blued steel and walnut more than most but an AR is a plastic/black gun....course you can always go this route too: http://duracoat-firearm-finishes.com/

I was seriously considering doing a custom like that, in tie dye.
First thing's first, I gotta get one. I'll go cheap, first, and then accessorize and upgrade as I can.
Funding and budget as it is, and impending new laws, I plan to first get the lower, and then wait for a bit as I get a decent 22 lr to learn on. As I plink away on that I'll be spending very little on ammo, so I can save up and finish the AR and get other necessities, like a usable spotting scope (needed if I'm shooting 22, for sure!), a mat, competition sling, etc. The jacket will need upgrading soon, too. It doesn't fit me very well, and at the minimum needs altering. Glad it was cheap.

i bought the stripped upper and lower for the AR i put pictures up of in March of last year and finally finished it less than 2 weeks ago...i bought a matched set which you dont have to do.....like you say, soon as you get that part the hard part is over, everything else can be done in pieces over time and can be sent t you....

Rattler, cool!
Folks, what would be a good offer for this Ruger. I'm kind-of looking for one, actually, and this one was offered before I could even ask.
Greenmountain 10/22 Running Boar Target Barrel Blue Long Rifle 22" Barrel
KIDD Innovation Design Trigger Job Kit
KIDD Innovation Design Trigger Weight Turning Kit
Selectfire Polished Black Oxide coated Bolt Assembly
Selectfire Adjustable Barrel V-Block Kit
Selectfire Black Charge Handler and Spring assembly
Orignal Black Trigger Guard
Original Black Stock
Original Black Receiver
NDS-26 Rear Sight
NDS-23 Front Sight
Black Sling and Sling Swivels (Front and back - I drill and install them)
I will put a set of AIM Scope Ring (high) and an AIM 4x scope, a soft rifle bag. I only shoot this rifle around 50 rounds.

this is with no research...
you can pick up a new 10/22 for around $160
most Green Mountain barrels for a 10/22 i see run between $85-120(havent heard of that particular model)
IIRC the KIDD trigger stuff is around $45
IIRC upfrades like the Select fire stuff is another $60 total
no clue on those sights and ofcourse ive got no clue on round count/shape of everything.....were i in the market for a 10-22 someone else had built like that(not knowing anything about the sights), in good shape and a low round count.....prolly offer $300-325.....but thats me though im dont usually start with someone eles work on something like this but low $300 based on what i remember on prices of the parts i wouldnt consider an insault....might be a bit low but would be a starting point on negotiations....
