The official status update thread - I

[HandK]

I'm running 220 out to a pole to put a light on over the area we park our cars. I want to put a 220 outlet on the pole and a 110 outlet there too. I've already got the wire buried.

I wish I was closer!! I used to do that stuff everyday!! I even wired my own house when we rebuilt it!! I could come over and have it done in no time but that I live along way from you!!

I built, wired and plumbed my house. I just didn't do too much "extra" stuff, like what I'm trying to do now.

Gary, did you see the carbine? It looks pretty good, and the fact that in can be fitted to accept standard pistol mags, well I think that would be a bonus.

Yeah!! sorry but thats butt ugly!! they tried to make it look like an AR but fell short and for $750.00 you can buy a nice AK or a Ctme or Pr91 in 308 and have money left over for ammo to boot!! But that just me, If I was going to put out that kinda money I want one that has a name that is known to all and will keep its value for years to come!!

See, that's what I'm trying to find out. I have absolutely no clue as to what I should be looking at or for. I have no money to buy a carbine right now, but I like looking. I don't know anyone locally that has a an AR or one of the Ctmes, so I have no idea about what the look or how they work. As long as I ask questions and get honest answers, then hopefully if and when I make a choice it will be an informed one.

Thanks Gary, if my rep meter were full I'd rep you right now.

I worked the last two nights, and that pretty much cuts out doing anything else.
