My car showed 45 degrees this morning in West LA.

Williamson county is no hippie land.

More importantly, like Hoss said, it is still Texas.

 

I too have been thinking about relocating to Austin, for shitz and giggles just did a lil RE search... O M G 350k+ gets you some AMAZING SHIAT, jump into 1/2 mil and it's just crazy....

 

I know, for what we spent on this little condo we could have something amazing in an awesome school district.

 

I wish I had more confidence in their economy... I know everyone says how stable it is, I just always get this odd feeling that it could end up more like Madison, Wi than like Nashville... Being #3/4 in a state (albeit a HUGE state) just seems scary!

 

several valid points

he was making a penis joke.

nice heater btw

 

Sorry, my homo radar doesn't work so good.

 

Yeah, the last thing this guy will EVER be is a liberal, but I also know that wasn't directed at me. Mark's right though, I am still undecided on where I am going to buy my house. I do know that it will be in one of these 5 states : TX, WA, NV, FL, or TN. Notice that all are states with no income tax.

I do believe, and someone correct me if I am wrong, that the butt-stock is not what makes it a SBR, but the smaller upper receiver. If that is the case, I will be doing both stamps on the same weapon as well just for the option of a can.

 

The Sig P556, which has a 10" barrel, is sold as a pistol without the need for a tax stamp in pistol form. Adding the buttstock to it is what makes it a SBR since it is now considered a rifle and only has a 10" barrel. It's just Sig's way of making it easy to purchase the P556 and then "construct" a SBR by yourself (after getting the paperwork done of course) without having to send the barrel out to get cut down.

I have a 16" Sig 556 and it's a fantastic weapon at its core. I have put thousands of rounds through mine without a single malfunction of any sort, and I have only cleaned it a few times in its life. It eats anything and everything I can feed it and spits the brass 15 feet with authority. It will keep on running long after a similarly priced DI AR15 chokes due to being dry and/or dirty as I have witnessed in person. Is it perfect? Of course not. It is a very robust design that has unfortunately been plagued by Sig's insistence on using cheap furniture along with some spotty QC early on.

Yes it is a bit more front heavy than a comparable AR but it doesn't bother me one bit and I have carried it across miles and miles of mountain terrain on plenty of long hunting trips. The extra weight in the nose also helps to decrease the muzzle rise and felt recoil compared to a lighter AR. If the extra ~1 pound is too much for you, hit the gym. Sig also now offers the Patrol rifle which has decreased the weight in the nose by ~1/2 pound by using a shorter gas/piston system. This would also be a good SBR candidate if you decided to cut the barrel down.
Sig 556 Patrol

Stuka if you like the Sig get it and shoot the crap out of it, you won't be disappointed. In the unlikely event that you do have an issue crop up you are covered since it has a lifetime warranty.

I have a Sig 556 Holo that has the bullet botton and 10/30 mag for CA compliance.

 

Man, I am so glad I kept my stockpile of 30 round mags.
