... ROAD TRIP !!! At noon I was given the distressing news that the gun cases weren't gonna make it today. Damn. When are they coming ? Long faces. "They are stuck at the Old Dominion depot in Dallas." By 2pm me and my travelin' companion had a 15' UHaul truck rented and pointed towards Dallas. Using my 20 year old Garmin 295, I headed north. Actually I took I-35 to I-20, then west on I-20 to Duncanville Rd, where I dropped in behind an Old Dominion truck that knew nothing about OpSec and he led me right into their lair. Which was good as they stopped letting ne'er-thee-wells like myself in at 6pm sharp. I walked up the will-call ramp and immediately saw the pallets of gun cases lined up and ready. But alas, I had to pull the top 2 rows off each pallet to get 'em through the U-Haul's roll-up door. And dang, 15' didn't mean the inside of the truck's floor, it barely held the 6 pallets of gun cases, but we shoe-horned them in. Be advised, gun cases are sitting in Leander tonight. The End 🎼

  -  laruetactical @charliestrickland93 ... When I was a kid in a Tennessee high school in the early 70s, I read a Griffon article in a Sports Afield magazine in the school library. I was hooked then and there. 3 likes

donbsd This is what people don't understand about running a successful small business. It's this kind of personal dedication and work ethic that makes one successful. Nice job Mark, and thanks for making such great products.

wfodave Like any business where you have a leader that isn't afraid to share his opinion, ML has his supporters and detractors in the gun world. But TCoB like this is why I'll always be a fan.

iamtheheshlaw That's highly respectable

  -  laruetactical @michael_riordan_precision ... She's a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon that I bred from 25 year old frozen semen I had collected from an amazing male that I had back in the late 80s and very early 90s. 1 like

  -  michael_riordan_precision @laruetactical that's awesome! I've got an Italian spinone that looks very much the same except for the eyes so I was curious. Great looking dog.

axeonoptics Those UHaul's are strangely plentiful around here these days. That, and California tags.... 1 like

  -  laruetactical @axeonoptics ... Funny you say that. I had trouble finding one in Austin and actually got the last one in the area. The UHaul mgr said there's been a mass exodus from Austin. Said migrating Californian's realized that Austin copied San Francisco's homeless program, resulting in homeless tent camps and feces on the streets and said "no thanks, we got that crap here already." Said they picked cities that don't have homeless camps under their overpasses. 5 likes

  -  axeonoptics @thundrmcawesum interesting. In a neighboring rural Arkansas county, there's several U rentum places that have acres of these trucks parked.

  -  itsblayno @captgmreed I live in Wyoming and I can confirm the Californians and other Democratic states are coming to WYO in waves.

  -  thundrmcawesum @axeonoptics Very well could be for in town use. Turns out many the trucks ppl are seeing are only for local use because I made the same argument. I needed at 26 ft truck, there was one on the lot but they wouldn't let me take it because it was for local use.

stevenzhouusa The single stage trigger coming back soon?

putnamarmory Question, I ordered an Ultimate Upper kit and it came in a plastic gun case. My brother then ordered one (after seeing the quality you guys put out) and it came in a cardboard box. Is that normal or was it an oversight?

byrdprecision I'm sure other folks have suggested this before but... @laruetactical it'd be sweet if y'all offered a smaller gas port for people who shoot exclusively with a silencer.
