21's M4 Project

One of the more enjoyable undertakings in my life has been modifying some of my firearms. This particular project has been both enlightening and a whole bunch of fun for me. While sitting in my car at work one night, I decided to look up gunbroker.com on my laptop. It had been well over a year since I had perused the site and I had an itch that needed scratching. While I was unemployed I sold one of my most prized possessions, that being my M4 Bushmaster assault rifle. It was time to replace it. So, I proceeded to bid on and win a DPMS Lo-pro Classic flat-top M4 type AR-15. This is a rather low priced model but it lends itself well to modification. My winning bid was $685.00 which is right around dealer cost. Now, consider this, the average retail price for a decked out M4 is well north of $900.00. So, I figured on buying lots of accessories for it. I believe I got a little carried away, but what the hell you only live once and might as well enjoy yourself.

The list of accessories and mods is as follows:
1. Magpul M.O.E. handguard in Flat Dark Earth (FDE)                        $29.95
2. Magpul M.O.E. pistol grips both front and rear in FDE                     $40.90
3. Magpul M.O.E. telescoping butt stock in FDE                                  $59.99
4. Daniel Defense front and rear iron sights                                           $122.00
5. Yankee Hill Machine half inch riser for installing the front sight           $15.95
6. BCM Gunfighter charging handle                                                      $44.95
7. BCM mil-spec buffer tube                                                                $36.95
8. CMC tactical trigger group                                                               $229.99
9. Spikes Tactical  ST-T2heavy  buffer                                                 $29.95
10. Magpul P-Mags 30rd 4 ea                                                             $59.96
11. Magpul trigger guard                                                                       $8.99
12. Magpul B.A.D battery assist device                                                $28.45
                 (not installed yet)

Grand Total:  $1,393.03    See I did go a bit overboard, didn't I?  And this is not counting the cost of ammo which I haven't purchased yet. Sheesh.  This is quite an investment I admit. But if you pay full retail price for a flat-top, heavy barreled M4 that comes with all the Magpul stuff and then add the trigger and stuff from BCM and Daniel Defense you will pay much more than I did. And to top it all off, I did all the installs myself. If you had a gunsmith do it for you, well add in a few more hundred to the grand total.

The installation of parts was done using nothing more than a 1/8" punch and a screwdriver. Care must be taken, you must watch for small springs that may pop out. Other than that, I really had no problems whatsoever installing any part on this rifle. I've got to find another job at a gun shop, this was too easy.



Henchman 21  aka The A

2 Years In

      For two years we've been saddled with the Manchurian President and I still have a whole bunch of unanswered questions. Here's a question- am I a birther? Yes, I am and if you aren't you have your head in the sand. We are told that Congress has seen his birth certificate yet not one member has come forward and confirmed this. His African Grandmother was quoted as saying he was born in Kenya. The only evidence is locked up in Hawaii under lock and key, and we will probably never see it. So, my question is this: Is the Grand Emperor of the Free World even eligible to be the President? We know he sure as hell is not qualified to lead us, considering he has never held a real job.


    We were told on a daily basis for eight years how stupid George W. Bush was. When Obummer was running for POTUS we were told how brilliant the man was. And yet, we still have not seen any of his college transcripts. We have absolutely no idea how even managed to get into Harvard or Columbia or even Occidental. You would think that if the United Negro College Fund had anything to do with this, that they would be screaming it from the rooftops. Yet, we have silence. Brilliant? I think not. Oh, he can tell a good tale when reading of a teleprompter but catch him without TOTUS and then you'll see brilliance! The only person in the world who uses ''umm" and "uhh" more than Barak the Magic Negro is his press secretary Robert Gibbs.

   We were promised "the most transparent government ever" by King Hussein and Nancy Pelousey. Yet we got Socialized Medicine through a bill that nobody in Congress read. They tried and thankfully failed on Cap and Trade. They pushed "stimulus" funds on us that stimulated nothing. Hussein had said all through the campaign that there would be no lobbyists in his Cabinet, yet the majority are in fact lobbyists. For years the Dems cried about Czars appointed by Bush and yet the Emperor has almost 40 of them. Can you scream HYPOCRITE??

  Another question that comes to mind is; what religion does POTUS follow? He claims to be a Christian and backs that up by citing a 20 year membership in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church. Now, here we have a problem. You see Rev. Wright's church espouses "black liberation theology", which in essence makes it NOT a Christian church. Christmas of 2009 was celebrated by the Emperor's family by exchanging no gifts and NOT going to any church. So, I think we have established that POTUS is in no way a practicing "Christian". We can be absolutely sure that "The One" is not Jewish. He makes no claims on Buddhism, Hinduism, Scientology or any other religion. The mere fact that he was born "Barak Hussein Obama" gives rise to more than one theory that he is Muslim. I cannot confirm nor deny this. His speech in Egypt gave us a glimpse that he holds Islam in high regard and my thinking on that is he probably is Muslim or at the very least a Muslim sympathizer/enabler. His forthcoming trip to India will be very telling. He called off plans to visit a Sikh shrine but will be visiting a mosque. This in itself has to make you wonder. He sure doesn't make an effort to visit churches or synagogues, does he?


   Two more years and hopefully we can be put out of this misery. I wonder if we'll have more answers or just that many more questions. I'm betting on more questions myself. They used to say "Bush Lied" all the time. Well, I believe Obama has everyone beat in that category. In fact, I will fro hereon out refer to him not as POTUS but POL short for Prince of Lies. I think that is much more fitting.
