    These bad screws are back door gun control.

    All this talk of flaking chrome, and substandard grip screws has got me thinking I need to scrap all my AR's, and start over with the best chrome, high quality grip screws and I'm thinking the best of the best pins. And back door gun control reminds me of some oldie blues song...something, something...back door man.

    I hear Biden is going to mandate serial numbers for the good ones, get you some ghost screws while you can. I think I'm gonna start making 80% screw kits.

    You could advertise them as wall hangers.

    Can you imagine the jack you're going to make when the ban hits. You'll have millions of AR owners beating down your door to score $150 ghost gun grip screws. I think you'll be able to retire on this idea.

    Yes, this is quite serious. I had a grip screw failure which resulted in complete grip loss just yesterday. It got me killed in the streets.

    I am now a ghost.

    Further complicating the issue, my guns are now all ghost guns.

    Ditch the low quality AR's and get a PSA or BCA. Top notch QC.

It was developed by the Mossad, so I won't ask how you got it, but stop talking about it on the interwebs before the guy whose name we won't say, but starts with a 'Y' and ends in an 'I' and is really 'on' it comes to visit you.

    By the way, physically block your computer webcam, that is not a sanitary use of that 'bore-scope'...
    I guess my schedule is filling up, first have to go to Colorado to plug a leak and then to Alabama. I have to fit all this in with some EU trips and one to Israel.

    TOOOOOOOOO Much stress for me to handle!

    My AR even has a plain, slotted grip screw. How can I trust that over a combo drive screw? I’m thinking a bunch of grips must be falling right off so I’m worried. Hell, the screw may not even be made in America.
    You should dummy cord your grip to the receiver. That’s what pros do.

    So I'm up and running. SOLID STEEL 80% grip screws (just have to thread them yourself to finish).



    Only $25 shipped, get them BEFORE THE BAN.....because they will be like $150 then.

    Also UNLIKE ALL OTHER GRIP SCREWS, ours are CUSTOM CONFIGURABLE so you can make them any thread pitch you want, just cut the thread pitch you want. Even HK, COLT, BCM, LMT, KAC grip screws can't do that....OURS CAN.

    PRO TIP: Buy an extra dozen and leave them UNCUT, that way when Congress mandates some unique thread pitch to prevent installation of USGI parts, you will still have super high grade grips screws that you can configure to future specifications.

    Buy a dozen to cut, but a dozen to leave uncut and buy a dozen to HIDE from FBI/ATF/HLS/XYZ. When they ban grip screws, only criminals will have grip screws...but SO WILL YOU IF YOU ACT NOW.
