I must've been a REALLY good girl this year

[TD2K]

I opened a Seekins Gen 2 lower, a CMMG lower parts kit, and this shirt:

The Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf upper is scheduled to arrive mid-January. :D:D:D:D:D

The Lower:

Is this you you plan to get around the high cap mag thingy???

[TD2K]

the mags (same size mag as an AR-15 223 cal) only hold 7 rounds. an "extended" 10 round mag is also available.

[melissa5]

Holy cow! That's a big round. :)

[Barth]

Holy cow! That's a big round. :)

I've never heard of it before.
Looks much like a .50 Action Express.

[Deano]

That thing looks like it would go through an engine block. Holy cow!

[TD2K]

it's only 500 grain

[Bawanna]

That would probably still leave a mark.

[MW surveyor]

Congratulations, looks like you now have to put the "kit" together.

[Rotorflyr]

You were either Really good, or Really Really Naughty! ;)

[TD2K]

Congratulations, looks like you now have to put the "kit" together.

yeah, it's not too bad. I did my first one pretty easily.

[jeepster09]

That explains why my chimney was not working....NAUGHTY :=[

Holy smokes that's a thumper!

[muggsy]

Holy cow! That's a big round. :)

Are you saying that size really does matter? :)

[CJB]

...wonders what the bolt face thrust figures are... with such a rebated rim

[melissa5]

Anyone who says it doesn't matter is fibbing. :p

But, bigger is not always better.

[Bawanna]

Thank goodness for that!

[muggsy]

When she was good she was very very good and when she was bad she was even better. :)

[TD2K]

you got that right

[TD2K]

UPDATE! Upper has shipped, scheduled to arrive Jan 2. WOOOHOOOO

Better get to assembling the lower this weekend.

Gotta order some reloading dies and supplies as well so I can actually feed the thing.

Sounds like fun!
My airsoft Obummer Commemorative AK 47 5.56 pistol is scheduled to arrive next Friday.
I'm very excited.

Guns are fun!

[TD2K]

UPS man delivered my upper last night. It's BIG. :)

Gonna assemble the lower this weekend, still need to get a good stock and grip.

:33::33::33::33::33::33:

[muggsy]

I've always admired a girl with a big upper. :)

[TD2K]

yes, I was blessed for sure.

wait....are we still talking about guns?

[Barth]

My AK74 Krinkov arrived!
Quality is outstanding.
.223 is a kitty cat to shoot.
5.56 NATO is like Magnum Force.

Looks like the Bulgarian gun is Mil Spec and designed for FMJ.
Have 9 boxes of LE NATO 5.56 TAP T2 on the way.
Understand that with a feed ramp fix these things will eat any ammo and stay hungry.
I'm going to contact Arsenal for Warranty service today.
Wish me luck.

[TD2K]

that's SWEET

[Barth]

that's SWEET

No sweeter than your latest Big Bore project.
I wait and watch - LOL!

Aren't guns fun?

[TD2K]

well it only took 1 day short of TEN MONTHS, but I FINALLY got these in yesterday:
(for size comparison, that's a 9mm cartridge next to them)

I've also had Hornady reloading dies on order since February. :sigh: I have brass, bullets, powder, and primer awaiting their arrival. (I've seen Lee dies available here and there, but from what I've read they'll tear up the beowulf brass so I decided just to wait)

I have Ken Hackathorn's class all weekend, so it'll probably be next weekend before I actually get to shoot any, but I can hardly wait. Video in the near future.

[TD2K]

and I still gotta get some good glass for it. I have a small scope that I stole off another AR build, but I need something better

[muggsy]

Size does matter!

[AIRret]

TD2K,
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post a video when you get the thing together!
I'm confident that all of us would love to see that gun and you in action!

You are truly blessed!

[TD2K]

It's together, just gotta get to the range with hubby so he can video. (we work opposite schedules so weekends are the only time we see each other) :(

[jlottmc]

Your husband is cop and you see each other? This does not compute. I think you just tried to divide by zero. BTW I how do you like the CMMG parts?

[TD2K]

we get to see each other on the weekends, so we try to make the best of it. Since I was in class this weekend, I saw him about 3 hours last night before I crashed. :(

I like CMMG, never had any issues with them so far.
