Level Of Difficulty at Work: 0! out of 10 (i caught up on my Car and Driver, Automobile AND Road and track magazines! i coulda been asleep and nothing woulda happened.. p.s. this day sets the standard of the scale!)
NapTime During Lunch: 30min
I think illinois is the place to be now. I've been searching for some .223 and .40 caliber recipies and while i was at it, for match type stuff. Well there was one guy spoken of quite a bit by the name of John Holliger who owns White oak Precision somewhere in the middle of Illinois. He makes custom match parts for AR-15's. I've been looking for 2 parts to complete my match rifle: the match upper, and a 2-stage match trigger. The company that i wanted to go for was called Rock River Arms. There are two match triggers whom precision AR-15 shooters use: One called the Jewel Trigger (Approx $200, adjustable, non traditional pieces, but it's all that n then some!) and the second the Rock River 2-Stage Trigger (looks like stock, drop-in ease.) The Rock River Trigger costs 130$ from their own website. This guy John Holliger tweaks it even more and sells them for 115$ shipped. Thats the cheapest 2-stage match trigger i've ever seen! The coolest part (Roxanne says it's how the people are over there), was that while i was emailing Mr. Holliger about the trigger, the only thing he said other than the price was 'just send me your address and i'll send one to you.' To me it seemed kinda odd, so i decided to wait till i can call the company. When i did Mr. Holliger answered and he said the same thing. ok, so i gave him my address, then he tells me to mail him a check. Well i get the trigger and sent the check, obviously thanking him. It felt like i was borrowing a buddy's car or something.
i installed that puppy and woo it's quite beautiful! So crisp 4.5lb action! Thanks Mr. Holliger! (ToAsTy Approved!)
i'm wondering if i should get the match upper from him. The Rock river match upper is about 550$ while Mr. Holliger's is 875$. one day.. (ugh more money!!)
So i've finally got the loader tuned for 25gr of Varget set at 2.245" for my Sierra 69gr HPBT's.. we do this! unfortunately it's off to Roxanne's Friends berfday party!
