Hahaha, sure did! Spent like 2 weeks digging until I started buying. Once I found out that Bravo Company tests each and everyone of their BCG's, I found it hard to go with anything else. I wanted to have something that had the pieces I want, and not have to upgrade a complete rifle and spend more money.
I'll hopefully start building this weekend.
That's a nice setup you have there, Roni? Lets get the rundown.
EDIT: It's official though... I'm road tripping my XJ to CA, and we are going wheeling and shooting!

Nice detour chat.
Classy look. I love the look of a bolt-action rifle. Very nice.
Not into guns, per say. But I do like to shoot, and I still have the Sig P220 I carried as a Deputy. But I'm thinking of adding a shotgun to round out the mix.

Well yeah, I already figured the "less" part.... just didn't think I needed the "MOARRRR!!!!" part.
Oh trust me, I've been scouring CL. I actually found a Handler 140 on CL for 365... but now that y'all have got me lookin' for a machine with higher power, so much for that!
Good ideas man. There's a couple of supply places around here... one that bounces to mind is Airgas.

Ive shot steel targets out to about 750-800 yards with some 168-175grn Sierra Match Kings. Such a fun rifle to shoot.

No, I don't lick fish.
Good GAWD the gun ****!!!! 
You guys are mentally spending all my money! 
lol... I'm pretty sure it will be fine man. It's not that it won't fuse metal together well, it's just that it doesn't have a very long duty cycle. Meaning you can only weld a short amount of time before letting the machine cool down. Just means you have to take more beer breaks 
You guys are mentally spending all my money! I've got a 140 Hobart and it has worked fine for me so far. Burning in my hooligan stiffeners with it currently. I bought it when I needed to do some sheet metal repairs on an old truck I had. I am a complete novice I have only ran 2 2lb spools through it so far. I have the dirt bound rear diy bumper to start on after I finish my stiffeners so we will see how it goes. Hopefully it doesn't fall off when I head to Utah in May

Are you running flux core or shielding gas? Flux core on a 110v machine is actually preferable when welding thicker material, you get a little bit better penetration.

That's a nice setup you have there, Roni? Lets get the rundown.
EDIT: It's official though... I'm road tripping my XJ to CA, and we are going wheeling and shooting!
DOUBLE EDIT: I can't believe it took me this long to realize that your name is Ronin Of Ako! I don't know how I never put that together! Anyway....
80% Arms lower, milled, bead blasted and coated with Duracoat matte black. Strike Industries Mil-Spec lower parts kit, buffer tube and 6 position Alpha enhanced stock. Jigsaw Pro upper, 16" barrel, 1:8 twist in 5.56, carbine, black nitride gas block and BCG, 15" quad rail, forward assist w/dust cover, 3 port muzzle break, M4 feedramp, flip up iron sights, red/green reflex sight, folding bipod, and Hexmag 10/30 clip.
