I let the machinist out...
 

.... :)


I shaved the A2 sight/gas block off my AR 15, per this instructive video:

First time in many decades I've done anything like it...*

I decided to shave the block so I could reuse it with the existing pins
and pin holes. The way Colt attaches the blocks, the pin holes are more
or less unique to each gas block and barrel. I didn't want to attach a
new low profile gas block with set screws.

Now, before I reattach the gas block, I have to replace the barrel nut
for the proprietary one that came with my new 12" rail.

Gosh, had I been in the Army, I probably wouldn't have been taught these
skills.

* Not since a year or two after high school when I spent a summer
between college semesters as a welder's apprentice at the Bigelow Boiler
Factory in New Haven.

When I worked there, the factory was manufacturing new boilers, but my
job was cleaning out and repairing old boilers. Good job, good pay. We
got paid once a week via an armored truck whose driver and assistant
handed out envelopes with our pay in cash after deductions.

Johnny, are you trying to recruit me into your motley little gang of Moppetts?
Sorry, I'd be a misfit with that group. (thank the Lord)

Hey, shouldn't you be squeezing into those moldy leaderhosen short shorts and murdering polka music this time of year?
I saw that King of Polka on CTV this morning from Waterloo.
They say he has released 98 Polka albums.
That would be a perfect torture for those ISIS characters...being forced to listen to polka while staring at your picture 24 hours a day.
i bet all would convert to another religion to make it stop.
