    my name is LLoyd and im an araholic

    cant quit buying them or thinking of new ones I NEED. Wife thinks 12 is enough. Don't tell her but I bought the upper for #13 today and next payday am going to buy an ar10 upper to finish that one. Then im out of lowers. Going to have to go and see my dealer soon to FIX that.

    Well, you know, after you stand up in front of the crowd and say, "My name is Lloyd, and I'm an araholic", then everyone responds with, "Hi Lloyd."
    Then you have to tell us about your struggles and the clean life you've decided to live -- but obviously you haven't. I think that you're supposed to have a close friend you can call to come over to your house when you feel yourself slipping, and they're supposed to have a long talk with you and then remove the temptation with them when they leave. I'd do it for you, but I live too far away.....

    I really do not see what the problem is.

    Maybe the problem is you don't have enough? Buy them in bulk then the craving will go away.

    Better join your support group. I've got three more uppers coming and have close to a dozen barrel blanks waiting for some lathe time. Don't know how many I have, that way it's ok to be a bit vague when asked.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about, Lloyd. You haven't even started milling out 80% receivers yet!

    ya I already find myself lying about how many I have so it doesn't turn up eyebrows.

    I don't think that will ever happen. Doesn't make much sense to me when I can buy one done cheaper then I can buy an 80 percent one. I guess im way beyond caring that someone knows I have guns. If they looked at all the guns ive bought through the years that the government has been notified theyd think I had my own army anyway. I don't see where it would help a thing when they come to get them. Just bury a couple and tell them you sold them years ago and don't remember who you sold them to. Now if a lower cost 200 bucks and I could build my own for 50 id be all over it. But the last two bares cost me 35 bucks a piece.

    Lego's for big boys, play on! Plus the more I can show the wife that there are others and it really is not a big deal, see rationalized.

    And you can paint them and write on them and IT'S OK.
    I don't see a problem either.

    the only problem with being an aroholic is the more you know about them, the more you learn you dont know about them

    Do you think they do that, in part, to annoy liberals?

    Lloyd it appears you have reached a period of truth in your life. Pour yourself a sniffer about half full of Jim Beam with a few ice cubes and say to yourself in a stern, but commanding voice; "its time to give up on McNamara's Fantasy and buy myself a decent AK74 in 5.45x39". Time to say good-bye forever to beer-can receivers and *** gas systems that don't work after a few hundred rounds. Time to take command of the battle ground in front of me and lay waist to the uninformed morons of our great country...................
