Its just a humorous twist on the the Gadsden flag. I was hoping someone somewhere would make a Kilroy lower with "Not here", "Was Here" and "Everywhere" for the fire control options.
I have three 4" Wilton Machinist vises and one Columbia 6" that is probably 50 years old. The Columbia was recovered from a scrap bin where I used to work because it had been used so much the Acme thread in the body of the vise was worn completely out with no way to tighten it any more.
I found the internals were removable so machined out a new one and have it ready to install. Not home right now, but I can take a pic when I get there.
My old fishing buddy passed away earlier this year at 80. Had an old Wilton in his shop built back in the 80s. Shop burnt to ground in 2001 he dug it out of the rubble and had the paint burnt off, Otherwise he tossed it in a bucket of trans-fluid and worked it daily for couple weeks. Its still on his workbench in his new shop built in 2002 I used it multiple times over the years. That is an amazing tool right there. It would cost a fortune for one now.
So my Snek has started growing. Got my Pmags from PSA today along with a MOE lower build kit. Trigger was 8# pull, I polished on it a bit and got it down to 7#. Still going to play with the trigger. Still collecting parts for the upper.

Wow that red is bright! I was trying to decide if I would back fill the snek and grass on mine or not. I have seen some with a yellow snek and green grass that I like. This gun is probably going to just stay all black. I have a spikes Jolly Rodger I picked up for my son. That one will probably get a little wild letting him choose what he wants on it.
Yep! Wanted something to break up the solid classic black look and didn't want FDE. I think the last color piece will be the buffer tube. And its a good thing that the posts on the take down/pivot pin are hidden, first time I test fit them a good portion of the cerakote came off due to a tight fit, but now they move much easier without being loose.
looks good. I need to get around to building my MK12 Mod1 lower. I have all the parts but I have been so hooked up at work free time has been hard to come by.
You can get Acme threaded rods and nuts from McMaster Carr.
