    How do you like that Delton upper? Any problems with it?

      cool pics!

      How often do you get out and shoot them? Nothing wrong with having a gun that's a safe queen, goodness knows I have at least 1 myself, but you gotta get out and use them! that's really the whole point of having them!

      You've got a good collection since just starting a few months ago, but make sure you get out and enjoy them too!

        PsychGuy, I like the upper. I figured i'd go cheap with the AR-15 because I've never even shot one before and built a budget build.

        I've only put about 500 rounds through it but no problems at all.

        Quick story, When I was sighting it in for the first time I used a laser bore sighter that sticks in the muzzle.

        Just as I was making the adjustments. A cease fire was called and I went out to my truck to have a smoke. When I came back the cease was over. I inserted the mag, charged the handle and pulled the trigger...I forgot all about the bore sighter.

        I ended up creating a bulge at the end of my barrel. I called Del-ton and was completely honest with them. They had me send the upper in and I ended up with a brand new upper directly from Del-Ton about a week later.

        I hate sharing that story because I feel like an idiot but it has to be told to show how great Del-Ton's customer service is.

              Real Men shoot Wheelguns...& all that other stuff ya got too.

              Off to a nice start!
              Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

              I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

              Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

                    You won't be done. Next thing you know you'll keep checking the calender daily to see if its been 30 days so you can buy and register another handgun.

                            Good way to start your collection. I try to buy one new firearm every month. At Christmas I get two guns, one I purchase and one from the wife. Your collection will out grow most safes in two years. Get a good one bolted to the slab, no exceptions. Guns are a huge investment. Happy Shooting.

                              I wonder how many times those thoughts have been processed and verbally said to others? In a year or so, let us know how it's working out for you. The disease, in its advanced stages, has one saying such things as, I should have bought a bigger safe, I need more room for my safes, or I don't think that I should have put all of those safes on that boat.
