    You idiots are gonna get fucked...

    Uh, for ARs? Don't you mean pre 81 DIAS? AR15s didn't exist in 1934. Is my sarcasm meter broken?

    How long does it take for a new thread to be approved?

    I posted a review of some Rhineland leopard stocks in the bolt-action rifles forum yesterday. It said it would be reviewed by a mod. How long does that take, typically?

    Well this pertains to both a bolt and a semi gun, so I hope it's okay to put this here. A while back someone on here pointed me to Rhineland for a cool 10/22 stock. My Hogue stock, while nice and grippy, never free floated the barrel properly and after shimming it every which way with cut up...
