Sebastian has the great news — and the math on the votes.
Hurrah for those 65 Democrats — and the NRA for orchestrating this blunt slapdown of a letter to Eric Holder.
Can prices go down now, please? I still can’t afford to buy a lower parts kit for my stripped lower receiver — or an upper receiver, for that matter.

Not only prices, but availability. A friend of mine ordered 2 LPKs from Del-Ton, and just got a call today saying they’re back-ordered out a YEAR…

I am glade to see my represenative from Central Texas signed this letter. I did not vote for him, but as far as democrats go he is one of the better ones.

Lower parts aren’t the real killer, I’ve found (me and a coworker are both building ARs - second for me, first for him).
(Brownell’s seems to have all the lower parts you might want, if not all in a single kit…)
Barrels are the real killer; nothing like a 16-20″ standard barrel to be found for love nor money.
(Shorty barrels, yes. Race-gun 24″ barrels, yes. Match HBAR stainless barrels for $500, sure.
But a 16″ M4 or a 20″ A2? Hah.)

Unfortunately Myles, you are correct. It never ends with the screwball Democrats. They just keep introducing unconstitutional legislation continually until one sticks. Then another and another….

I’ve found just the opposite, Sigi. I’ve had a 11.5″ on order for 6mos now but the company won’t take the time to roll one because they’re focusing on producing the 16’s & 18’s.

Since you’re starting threads, see if this fits your pistol.
In my rambly reading of gunblogs, I occasionally stumble across one that is both Tacti-cool AND true survivalist.
The Tacticool folks believe that if it’s tactical, it has fear factor built-in.
Now, fear-factor IS a good thing IF it makes the bad guy hesitate just long enough for you to bring your weapon to bear and squeeze a good shot off, but fear-factor can also be bad, as evidenced by the fact that it seems to be the chief motivator behind all the PSH of the gun-banners.
So, I propose for discussion: “Tacti-cool: our best friend or our worst enemy?”
An alternative thread might be: “Can the hard image of the “EBR” be softened, and should it be?”
