Welcome to Episode #134 of the AR15 Podcast. One thing that makes the AR-15 such a great platform is the wide variety of caliber choices you can make when putting one together. One of those is the Thumper, the .450 Bushmaster. We want to let you know about a new source of cool products!  Go to  http://patriotpatch.co/ to pre-order the Huckleberry patch and buy FRN stickers.

I listen when I have time in the car. Lots of great information to keep me backed up with lots of project ideas. My question is two fold, I clicked on your Amazon link to give you credit for me using Amazon, but is there a marker or url difference so I can know you got credit. Also as frequent shopper on Amazon is there a way for me to make sure my browser always gives you credit. Of course please answer this same question with regards to your more important sponsor... Brownells, as I sure want them to know your listeners are using them. Keep up the good work. Robert:  Hi Guys!  I love the show, I've been listening to and reading everything I can get my hands on since I got the black rifle bug at the end of 2012. I recently found your show and downloaded all the podcasts that were available on iTunes (back to episode 103), which is about 30 episodes.  I noticed that the Peter Schiff show has podcasts about 90 episodes available, but they are shorter in length (20-30 minutes) compared to your show (which is about 1:20:00).  Also, the reloading podcast allowed me to download about 40 episodes averaging an hour each.  So it looks like iTunes only allows about 40 hours of any podcast? So, how difficult would it be to make them available in an mp3 format?  I only have time to listen to them when I'm in the car or going for a walk, and I live in an area where cell reception is rather dreadful, so I can't play them directly from your website, or while sitting at a desk. Eager for more Joel Frederick:  Great interview, thanks... I've been a Vortex fan for a while...  Have a couple of their scopes and a pair of their binoculars… Austin Ledbetter: Which trigger do you prefer for AR15 and which for an Ar10/LR308?  I am a Geissele man myself but hear good thing about Timney and some others, except on reliability with primers. Geissele is the only one I have yet to hear about having a light primer strike or not being able to set off all mil-spec primers with consistency.  Love the show and thanks for the help Mark M: Hey guys, I was listening to episode 130, and Reed mentioned he has a safe with no carpeting in it.

Feedback: Erik Olsen is running a fundraiser for Camp Hope at the Chris Neal Farm by selling Disabled Vet Patches online. Camp Hope is dedicated to honoring the fallen by helping the wounded. Created by Gold Star parents, William "Mike" and Galia White, the 170-acre farm located 70 miles southeast of Lambert-St. Louis Airport in Missouri, was created to honor the memory of their son. Pfc Christopher Neal White, a 23-year-old Marine, was tragically killed in action in Al Anbar, Iraq on June 20, 2006. Camp Hope provides FREE outdoor adventures to combat wounded veterans of the War on Terror and active-duty combat-wounded Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors. The mission of Camp Hope is to allow wounded warriors the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities with dignity - to not think about what they "can't" do, only to think what they want to do. Soldiers can shoot skeet, hunt turkey and deer, fish, hike, explore the country, or relax around the ever-burning firepit. More than 42,000 Soldiers have been wounded in the War on Terror. Camp Hope is committed to letting them heal through nature. Since 2007, dozens of Soldiers - male and female, representing all branches of the military, from across the country, have experienced, enjoyed, and sought solace at Camp Hope. @Bigbiller on Instagram: Outro: Send us any questions or comments to feedback@ar15podcast.com You can also send us a recorded voicemail by using the Speak Pipe Plugin on the right hand side of the AR-15 Podcast website Subscribe and listen to the AR-15 Podcast for free in iTunes or on Stitcher and leave us a review so the show can place higher in the searches for potential listeners Share your pics with us on Instagram at @ar15podcast and tag your pictures with #ar15podcast Check us out over on Periscope @ar15podcast for quick LIVE videos from cool events or casual conversation about ARs Follow us on G+ to watch us LIVE at https://plus.google.com/+AR15podcast Check out our YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/c/ar15podcast Follow us on Facebook com/ar15podcast Check out the other great podcasts on the Firearms Radio Network Don’t forget to use our Brownells Affiliate link for all your AR-15 parts (ar15podcast.com/parts) And use the Amazon affiliate links on the tv and ar15podcast.com websites or goto firearmsradio.tv/amazon

Feedback: Tom G Jul 13th, 10:37am Thanks Guys I got my Otis Tool, I will use it proudly.  You know you have room on the tool to have it marked with your logo.  Pitch the idea to OTIS to offer engraving to companies like pens and other items and then people that hold events can throw em in as goodies.  Hehe I know they would be expensive goodies but you know like Friends of NRA and such would be good as they could defray the cost with the cost of dinner at the banquets. Chris I. Jul 16th, 4:59pm Thanks guys. Tool works great.

I was looking at a kit from Palmetto State Armory that I believe includes everything but a lower receiver. .. but not sure of quality, etc... I think I would like to build something as opposed to buying a complete lower end gun to learn what I can. .. and if I "outgrow" its quality. .. The kids can always use it to plink with. ..
