I was actually talking to MarineOneNine about a trade but that fell out so I kept it and added a (real) Atlas bipod and a Sightron 6-24×50 FFP scope.

That scam is in the back room right now.

I sent you a PM for two .25 stems a few weeks ago and didn’t hear sh*t back which I assume means you got the PM and are ignoring me.

I used aniline dye on my Edgun and finished it with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil, but if you wanted another type of finished look you could finish it…Read more
