NWI INGO General Post - Part 7

[3floydsfan]

Lonehoosier is out of surgery and in recovery. Doc said the surgery went well.

That's great news. Here's hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

Has anyone played with those Boberg pistols? I was interested when they first came out but figured I'd wait till they were a proven design. I kinda forgot about em but this came up on my Facebook feed:Boberg taking pre-orders for XR45-S

 

[darkkevin]

looks like a lot of un needed moving parts to break. not to mention the review staing the tendancy to "disassemble" ammunition with the claw mechanism.

Any one on here good with AR15s? I have an AR that needs the delta ring removed and a free foot hand guard installed along with a low profile gas block installed after removing the railed gas block...

Willing to pay, but Blythes in griffith quoted me $100 and that seems an little out of line considering I have all the parts and have seen the entire job done on YouTube in 10 minutes...
I want it done right and I don't own the tools or vice to do this so maybe $100 is reasonable... any one have advice??

Hey Joe, ever hear of "Stacks Weapons & Toys"? Apparently they are a BCI Defense dealer, and are right behind your house! 53 N Colorado St.

I know Jeff Stack fron my days at North Porter County Conservation Club. Talk to GhostofWinter about Stracks.

lonehoosier is home now.

I am in possession of a text from jedi, it is to lone's wife, jedi wants to paint lonehoosiers toenails and put make up on his face.

That boy just ain't right.

Got some new shoes on da pick'em'up'truck today. Sick to think that my 2012 truck has 45k miles on it already... Although, a big recommendation for Lake Tire on rt2 in Lowell. Good guys, best price around. $725 out the door for four 265/75r17 in an E load range and fairly aggressive tread pattern.

Can you give me some detail, I think the Blythe's in Valpo could do it for less

Is it just me, or in the past year and a half has the service at the blythes in grifith gone down and they now sell more expensive guns. Seems like almost everything in there is a AR or glock, or else a new production gun and theres barely anything used or milsurps.

I wish I could tell ya bud. I have never actually been to the Griffith Blythes.

At the quoted prices, I would wait until there are more of these on the market. I know the .45 ACP cartridge is finicky about slide speed and barrel length in the 1911 platform. That could be entirely different in this platform but I would let someone else be the guinea pig. DK also brings up a very good point about ammo dis-assembly ... not a feature you want in a defensive handgun.

I think their employees don't give a ****... maybe its a culture thing there, but Roger and his Son have always been pleasant to deal with... the rest of the crew, not so much...

For instance, I stopped in to drop of the Liberty Seed info . I talked to Roger about what its all about and he said I could leave some. I thanked him and put them where he asked me to...one of the salesmen comes by and says hi and looks at me as I put the papers in neat stacks. I ask him if he ever heard of the Appleseed project and his response was "no" in started explaining about the RWVA and the history of the war and about the rifleman program and he interrupts me and says "you don't think your leaving this stuff here, do you?"... I explained I had permission and hoped to see him there...

I would still like more info on the gun you want the rail on. What kind of gun (praying it is not a rock river), and what kind of rail? Cause most of them are not that hard.

Its a Windham that has a railed gas block. I want to install a low profile gas block and a troy alpha rail.

 

[sadclownwp]

Bring it in, and if I am not busy, I'll do it.

 

[cyprant]

Thanks. I'll be in touch.

Yup they are very good guys there. A couple years ago my wife got a flat on Rt2 in a Volvo SUV with some tire size that NOBODY stocks. Lake let me leave her vehicle in their lot, they had me order the tire from TireRack.Com, and they installed it for FREE when it arrived.

Griffith Blythe's USED TO BE GREAT, but a few years ago they became lying fat f***s. Outright lied to my face about transfers (I was involved in a gunshop at one time and knew the facts) Lied to me about record keeping and its costs. Roger was standing right beside the guy who was lying and never corrected him, then stood up for him/his lies when I pointed a couple things out. Never buy another gun from them again.

In fact I NEVER EVER GO TO Blythe's Griffith.

On the other hand, Blythe's Valpo is a great shop. Different owner, different attitude!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm having a pretty good morning thanks to the pain meds. I think Jedi try to come over about 10 o'clock last night. My dog went crazy so I let her out to scary him off. I go back to see the Doc Friday to take off the bandages and see when I can start physical therapy back up, I'm not looking forward to that part. I should be back to work by the first of the year. It's hard to believe its been almost five mouths since this happened.

We know you've just been milking it.

I used to spend a lot of money with Blythes Griffith. But I had multiple similar experiences, and swore them off. Won't spend another dime there after the way I was treated two visits in a row.
