    Yep it's an idea. A bad idea.

    Considering the fact that only 1 in 100 actually shoot their ARs I'd say that 1:100 failure rate you report is about right.

    Rather than letting some drunk monkey fuck with the trigger, learn to shoot.

    The 68forums is a small community compared to the other AR websites. Most of those guys shoot often and are all hunters that use their ARs to hunt with. So again I'm not defending the guy but I've seen nothing tangible to say anything other than what I've been saying a lot more good reports than bad. How do you know he's a drunk? It's things like that just make the hearsay responses hard to swallow.

    I did as you said and the entire first page was good reviews of his trigger jobs. Maybe a little minorlu underwhelmed but hey it's a $35 trigger job on a mil spec trigger. I did however see some unhappy on hk pistols. So I wouldn't recommend him for hk pistols based off of all of that but his work on the ar still seems solid by others reports of actually using him verse hearsay of not liking him. That's just my take on it.

    Sorry guys I work in the world of tangible and what I see is a lot of people happy a couple having issues and calling the guy and him making it right. I did see one account where the person wasn't made whole. One. Otherwise it's a lot of speculation and name calling with no basis which doesn't count for anything.

    Sending your trigger off for work, then having to have it replaced with a new one after your original is destroyed isn't exactly conductive to what I'd call a good experience.

    Ok good that is something I can work with. Show it to me, something tangible. Right now all I have is "the guys a drunk" and a lot of people who have used him who like him. One or two I've seen who said they had an issue with it and he made it right. I could give a rats ass about the guy but as a store owner I need to be able to give good customer service and offer an alternative advice as to selling a customer a Geissele. I will not send customers to someone who has a bad reputation but right now all I have is good persona experiences and a few well uh he sucks. You seem to have a tangible first person experience of an issue?

    My shooting buddy bought a job from him a while back. He basically got a hacked hammer and some JP springs for $60.

    (This is $10 worth of springs and 30 seconds with a hacksaw.)

    Similar but not identical :rolleyes:

    but any one of those can do the same thing as the others. People get money and it starts burning a hole in their pocket (everyone is a victim of this :anonymous:) and rather than take a carbine class or spend money on ammo and go shoot, they see a cool gun on the internet and build one like it.

    Bingo. I was teaching a class Sunday and I can't tell you how many people would have AFG's but then grip the mag well, or BAD levers and use the bolt release lever. So I started asking guys why have them if you're not going to use it? Just a lack of practicing with the tools their build has to offer for one and second some just had them for the cool factor.

    Practice! Shoot! Can do dry reload drills watching tv, dry fire, go shoot! No one cares what the rifle looks like if you can't run it.

    so when shit hits the fan he can have them scattered through out his house so no matter where he is he can get quick access to FUCK shit UP.

    old retired military buddy of my dads told me one time, his weapon of choice when shit hits the fan, is his 30+ .22s hes hidden on his property. "quiet and deadly at any range i can see someone, theyll never even know where i am"

    Im in the middle of my next build since the wife loving told me that my AR is now hers. It'll be a 16" "Afghan style" gun, in FDE all around. I'm still up in the air which brand of supressor I want.
    I need to replace the upper on my Mk 12 (don't ask, alright, an overpowered round scrapped the barrel and I dont trust the reciever. after all that, I still need to do another 10/22 since she took that as well. This is starting to sound like a country song...
