14.5" + permanently attached A2X flash hider = no tax stamp

Exactly. It's permanently attached. I wouldn't bother with a tax stamp over the extra barrel if it was the only way to get a 14.5 inch barrel.
Never heard a VFG referred to as a donkey dick. I just got that part actually. SKD had a blowout sale and I got it for way under MSRP. I have it set up to where I can QD it and screw on a Grip Pod so I have a means of stability for accuracy testing/zeroing. I also have the full length version but I'm rocking the stubby for now just so I can say the rifle is 9 pounds dead. And to answer Jcordell, the base rifle setup with a swapped upper was about 1300, with the total package including spare parts at just under 3300. Small price to pay for a super sweet M4gery if you ask me. Most of the excess is the optic and flashlight as well which are top tier kit. Unfortunately for my bank account as well, though, I am in the process of swapping the upper a second time due to a problem with the barrel nut, argh. Hopefully I will get enough resale value out of the current upper to compensate for the cost. |

It's Army slang for the stubby ones

Really? I guess I need to ask. The Marines I know call them broomsticks...well for the typically long ones. Haven't seen anyone use the stubby grips.

So I dun f'ed up and bought a West German P226 on my credit card cause the price was very very right, and cause I needed a Fox Mulder to go with my Dana Scully and Gillian Anderson (my two P228s). Can anyone give me a lead on Mulder's holster or something like it? Here's a pic of the props that make up Mulder's kit:

Alright, it's been awhile for this thread, but I've just added something
I got a Glock 43. It's for summer carry and for times I needed to just get a gun to go. Smaller and more manageable than the larger G19 I've been carrying. I've added night sights and Taran Tactical +2 and +3 base plates for carrying and so far, it's been awesome. Been carrying it in an IWB holster made by On Your 6 Design.

I'm not a Glock guy mind you but sounds pretty good.
As for me, I might soon be finally getting my first piece (of my very own). Will be scoping out all the places around here over the next week or so. Leaning to a shotgun right now, but if I see a decent handgun for the right price, well.. Would have liked to wait for the next gun show here but that's not 'til August. Bah. I'll certainly let ya guys know in due course. Will finally be nice to 'join the club', heh.
