Ive sold all my go fast stuff and put my truck back to stock for the most part.. have a meth kit and WA IC and other little things to get rid of.. but ive put all that money into guns, reloading supplies, suppressors, and more reloading supplies.
I dont make near as much money as i did traveling so now i gotta figure out a way to do this shooting thing on a low budget. Plus im plannin on building a house next year. ..

Building another AR15 in 6.8spc.. kinda happend on an accident when a company shipped a 6.8 barrel instead of a 5.56.. so i just went with it since i got the barrel $50 cheaper..
I successfully burnt out my first AR barrel so thats where all that started from and ordered the correct barrel 5.56 that is chrome lined

I now have a variety to handle anything from 1 yard to over a mile and shoot fast, quiet, slow, or loud..

Dunno know the rules in TX but we use Quiken Will Maker to setup a trust and then just send it in with the Form 4 and tax stamp money.. Its easy and only takes a few minutes to do..


Ive never really cared for the 6.5 grendel,,, dunno why haha..
The 6.8 is only considered a 300yd round and thats plenty for where im gonna be hunting by the house.. Longest shot would be 150yds max. mostly 50-75 in the wooded area.
