I like it man. Gives better control I think. Although, with the Ruger, I had to purchase a clamp on tri-rail for the forestock. Picked that up from Ruger for $14 shipped I think.

And, wow, there are a ton of different front grips available. I picked that one up on Sportsman's Guide for $7.

But yea, it feels, to me anyhow, more natural rather than having my wrist twisted to grab the front stock.

I put this together last Christmas. It has a bushmaster bull barrel but even with the added weight its still a little jumpy for my taste. I think a grip would help a lot.

stinger608 · Mar 24, 2017

Oh, hell yea @OneCool !!! You already have the bottom rail so adding a grip is simple. :peace:

Sweet looking AR man! I've heard good things and reviews from the Bushmaster barrels!

Thinking of building another one later this spring/summer and figuring I'd use a Bushmaster.

OneCool · Mar 24, 2017

Mines kinda a little bit of everything. Delton upper, lower and bolt, Bushmaster barrel,Colt sights ( not cheap!!) , Stock and grip is I can't remember lol front grip is a Delton too I think

Yeah I wanted that bottom rail just for the convenience and I'm glad I did now. Plenty of choices for a grip.

Heres mine.

My brother has the 340i and I love it lol. Drives grate.

Expensive old system... I wanted at least 32gbs ram, didn't realize ddr3 is so much now. Ordered a 2nd quad kit of these:

Cost me this for 16gbs, and newegg was the cheapest in Canada, even cheaper than ncix!

theonedub · Mar 25, 2017

Picked this up on sale a couple weeks ago, not a fan of the digital camo and some other things but I didn't want to completely blow the budget with a $1.2k+ bullpup. At least the pistol grip is comfortable and at 1/3rd the price, I'm good

stinger608 · Mar 25, 2017

That's frigging awesome @theonedub !!! :rockout:

And, a Weatherby to boot. :respect:

Frigging sweet!

I 'member these from high school days :roll:

Mixed memories of diskless fleet of 386 and 486 in the lab with random assortment of 3.5" and 5.25" drives. Had to bring a whole pack in my pocket in order to boot DOS, do my homework in TurboPascal, and a few more with a downsized Civilization and Bomberman.

AsRock · Mar 26, 2017

Not sure of what system was, it was just a big ass box and remember it said REM on it, was more interested in the BBC Micro and the Sinclair 128k back then.

Remember the big ass latch too lol.

psyko12 · Mar 26, 2017

Can't wait to get it up and running... Still waiting for the noctua mounts to arrive...

Shou Miko · Mar 26, 2017

@psyko12 nice, I was thinking about going Ryzen myself but I stopped myself since I already have a i7-6700k not saying it wasn't bad changing side to try smth new just too much money sadly but I hope u will be happy and tell us here how it is on the Zen platform

Heya thanks, I hope so too.. I think you made the right choice

well as for me I'm feeling the age of my current system in terms of content creation and some moderate gaming.

Been saving up ever since I heard of Kabylake was planning to jump ship early Feb but waited a bit and see what AMD had to offer and got it.

I will be swapping out just the mobo ram and proc, will keep other things, but for the gpu maybe soon I'll be on a full AMD rig. Gonna wait and see how rx vega , rx 5xx goes. I'm not really into high res, I'm just fine with 1080p.. Hehe..

But yeah, I will be soon joining the ryzen threads on here with my experience once local post pushes thru with the mounts.

AsRock · Mar 27, 2017

Ooh lucky find, near new just the AC adapter missing but as seen as i have a box load of those, $5 deal and works perfectly.

R-T-B · Mar 27, 2017

I need to get a better table (and camera) for an Amp this nice:

Also, my other purchase:

silentbogo · Mar 27, 2017

Why oh no, it's worked perfectly for me even though it was made for Win98, ME, XP lol. Sadly might have to sell it

.

silentbogo · Mar 28, 2017

Oh no, cuz me misses it much.... :cry:

Bought one for my brother about 9-10 years ago, and we used to have weekend marathons of NFS:MW, NFS

rostreet and G.R.I.D.
Now it's been collecting dust in his closet for the past 2 years...

JATownes · Mar 28, 2017

Not tech related, but this Unicorn fell in my lap over the weekend and I couldn't pass it up. A mint, factory complete 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 with only 14,900 miles on it. It purportedly has never spent a night outside. http://imgur.com/a/1AG27

stinger608 · Mar 28, 2017

Sweeeeeeeeeet SLK @JATownes !!!!!

I had a 99 2 or 3 years ago for about 6 months or so. It wasn't nearly in that pristine of a condition.

GreiverBlade · Mar 28, 2017

sooo i decided that a M$ Media Keyboard All-in-one wasn't really "sofa friendly" even tho it was not bad ...

Airmouse: Minix Neo A2 Lite, the A2 Lite differ from the A2 by not having speaker and microphone built in ( although the hole are still on the remote body, well probably to cut cost :laugh:

) effectively dimnishing the size of my dedicated input system by ~ 4.5 time (more like 6 time ... i checked ... :oops:

)

not too big not too small, perfect fit, agreeable airmouse mode, quite precise and the Keyboard on the back is really practical

my only grief would be it still need a receiver for it, nonetheless i understand why: Bluetooth or WiFi connection could have been problematic (even if my Moga Pocket use BT ) tho it also have an IR on it (mostly for turning off and on the Neo U1 since the USB shut down when it's in sleep mode (great news ... i don't have to push the power button on the U1 now

)

with that addition ... in the end the Neo U1 + Neo A2 Lite did cost me even less than my previous RPi3 setup

and it does quite a bit more than Kodi
