I only use a torque wrench on optics mounts. Have never used one on an AR15 other than maybe a Seekins handguard. I'll bring one, but it's not huge.
Yeah, didn't want to make us look bad but... we don't either. Use a FAT wrench to tighten down the scope mounts but that's about it.

Hopefully people are following this who are attending....

This is the tentative plan right now.

Since that Saturday is the last Saturday of duck season I'll be hunting most likely in the AM.

I'm planning on being prepared for folks to be there starting around 11 AM.

I'll have some ribs, deer sausage, turkey breast, and some duck wraps smoked and read for eating hopefully around 12-1; but consider these heavy appetizers due to the number of people I'm expecting. If you'd like to bring something to grill please feel free to do so.

It's BYO drinks, so what you bring or trade for or can beg for is what you get. I'm not supplying anything besides hose water .


Parking will be self explanatory. If you've got a folding table or card table and some folding chairs please feel free to bring them (we'll probably need them).

What I have mostly is all counter top height (standing work), and I have one small card table, a folding table, and a picnic table. I've also got some general tools, but nothing special, and noting specific to guns (no punches).


Post here with any other info needed or desired.

Wanted to bump this.

Any thoughts on the workshop type get together from my previous post for those not building anything in particular? Don't really want to lug a bunch of stuff out there if it's not going to be of any interest to anyone.

So how many people were interested in trusts? I can bring my laptop and work with those that want to take care of this while we're there. Just curious as to the count and how many would be interested.
Is this happening?

Yes, I will be onsite with my computer to generate trusts for those that wish to do and will provide electronic files to your email.

Don't know if I missed it, what's the cost on this and what info do we need?

I'll do them for $150 day of since there seems to be significant interest. I'll need to get back to you on all the info this evening when I get back to my personal firm computer to look over the documents again. I don't recall all the info that is needed off the top of my head at the moment.

Just a heads up, FM 1093 coming from 99 towards 723/359 is changing to the newly laid two lane road on Friday/Saturday of next week.

This should be a good thing, but may cause delays in getting to my house for some of you.

The alternate route to skip that is come down 99, exit Bellaire and take Bellaire west to 723, then south on 723 to 359. You can figure it out from there.

So far I've only gotten emails from about dozen or so folks, email if you want my address. I'm specifically not posting it on here for obvious reasons...

I hate it but I'm not going to make it. A client I just sold some thermal optics to asked me to be on their team for the Lexington Varmint Contest that same night. After dropping that much coin with me, I couldn't say know. Plus, as much as I want to hang out with y'all... I want to shoot some stuff more!

Let me know if you think y'all will be short tools. I can send a set with someone coming from CS.

I had a customer return this set for a smaller frame size. These are fullsize. If anyone coming to this party needs them, let me know. I can bring them. Otherwise, my Kimber may be wearing them soon. They're brand new.

Looks like VZ Grips in G10 material. Tough as nails, very grippy.

G10 makes sense. I first thought they were straight grain walnut or even cocobolo but when I zoomed in it looked funny. I wondered if they were micarta.

Ok to make sure everyone knows...


I am going to be smoking some ribs and some poppers. That's all I am providing.

I'd be happy to supply bowls and what not if people want to bring chips, dips, queso, salsa, etc.

It is also bring your own drinks.

Calling an audible? I am flexible. Sunday after 12-1. More importantly I guess it all depends on tx4guns and Eye Guy and everyone else.
