Thank you. Super member.

Elk, bobcats, all I get in Mesa are coyotes and bums!

Hens stop laying with shorter days. Leave a light on and they'll keep going or kick back in. Cold, like extreme heat, stresses the bird making it more susceptible to disease and or causing hypothermia and thus death. Good nutrition and clean water are obviously also very important.

Really nice looking coop! Top notch for looks. Mine is an old large outhouse looking thing. Raised a lot of birds, recovered a lot of eggs. Nothing like real (fertilized) eggs with slightly orange yolks.

Isn't Nikon exiting the scope market. Who's going to service their warranty?

Depending on size.

Heat it with a couple of 100 watt light bulbs.

You'll have to insulate and heat for the winter?

And the eggs? Try raising turkeys. Fewer eggs, but they are big, and harder to crack. One Tom and two hens, with you chickens would work.

If I didn't have a couple already, I'd buy it, but I'd change the head.

I think it's really great he is building it for the kids. They are the legacy.😁

Interesting. Some people may be a bit hypocritical. But this all does appear to be harmless fun despite it's obvious lack of usefulness, other than potential entertainment. So much judging. Interesting.....

Thanks Lee, I appreciate your sharing of knowledge.

If the Mauser is still available, I'll take it. I'll have to figure out the logistics.

Blogs say they range quickly. Many people seem to like them. Leaves me a little confused on them. Since you haven't had problems, that's a good sign.

When was it made? Warranty is only good for 5 years from date of manufacture on the electronics. Could wind up being a monocular spotting scope if there is a problem with ranging.

It's a very nice rifle, period.

Still a nice AR15.

Also the disaster contractors that do fire and other damage. Many times cabinets are pulled that can be repaired or cleaned up.

Stardust and classifieds in other sites. Talk around to remodel contractors. That's where I got mine for a couple of my rentals.

I know next to nothing about pistols. I've learned a lot about rifles, but there is a lot I don't know. I do know this guy has a lot of more expensive parts on his AR. It looks to be a very quality gun. It is a good looking gun and 18" is more desirable than 16", unless close quarters. If someone doesn't buy it I may have to make him an offer, even though I have enough very similar guns.

Definitely not the smartest, but open to learn. I've spent a lot of time chasing AR parts. I'm having fun with them and have more than my fair share. One of my goals is to have an AR in every available caliber they make. Even though I have the resources, I am very frugal and I scourer the internet constantly. I try to put together the best gun for the lowest amount. And I have no problem sharing the information in a pm. Prior to 2014 I knew little about guns. Since then I have been absorbing as much information as I can daily. I became good friends with a guy who manufactured AR's. Unfortunately he had to close his shop with the economic shift. I am friends with a great rifle maker. I know some very knowledgeable people that I pester on occasion. I'm not a know it all, but I do want to absorb as much as I can, while I can. And I don't mind sharing.

I understand, but $250? Like I mentioned, the bottom off brand 16" build from the cheapest source was $269 less a stripped lower. I'm extremely frugal but $250 was just a little rude. A base lower end complete and built is typically worth at least $350. This has brand named parts, not the cheaper ones. You make my frugality look like frivolity. That's quite an accomplishment! One person posted a generic AR15 for $650, later dropping it to $550. I would have paid only $375 for it, but this one is different. Probably worth more than what I would want to give but I seldom offer what others are willing to give. I'm not saying you are a terrible person. I'm just saying that your bid was extremely low and truthfully a little on the rude side, even for an AR15. This site in general has not been kind to AR15 sales, and perhaps we should be a little more polite. Maybe you were just poking some fun, but even so that "bid" could be considered offensive. Let's play nice in the sandbox together and everyone enjoy life.

$250 was rude. Those name brand parts run more, although not always worth the cost. With this soft AR market and on this site, not the kindest on AR's, $350 for none name brand parts other than upper and lower to possibly $900 or more for all name brand, depending on the names. Last Thursday one vendor had a complete 16" AR15 build minus only the stripped lower for $269.00 + tax, free shipping. Stripped lowers have regularly dropped to $34.99 + tax. Sorry for the timing. In a good market $1000.00 + would not have been unusual. Maybe with the elections the market will move up. Nice build and 18" barrel.😁 Just curious, how were your groupings?
