Dear WLS

• Trucker Matt – Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one. Multiple questions. I’d apologize for it, but you guys are like the Dr. Ruth of the gun world, minus the sex advice, thank god. 

1. It’s my understanding from listening over the years that possession of both full auto M16/M4 lower parts kit with the auto sear and M16-cut lower receivers is fully legal as long as the dreaded third hole is not drilled in the lowers. Do you guys know which manufacturers sell lowers with the M16-cut instead of the high shelf? Just curious (not bi-curious, A-Aron) for reasons… Jeremy, do the RET4RD lowers have the M-16 cut, and if so, do you have any left available? 
2. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 that I pieced together using Aero M5 lower, upper and handguard, Spikes BCG and Criterion 18inch barrel. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 first focal plane scope that I want to mount on it. I know it’s not an ideal scope, but I got it for free. Can you recommend a good 30mm tube mount or rings that won’t break the bank, preferably 20 MOA for longer range. 
3. Salma Hayek, Dame Helen Mirren, Jane Seymour (of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Wedding Crashers fame). Fuck one, marry one, kill one. Discuss. Keep up the great work guys. The WLS shows are the highlight of my week.

• Pecker McPeckerson – If you had to start your journey into the gun cumunity over, How, in 2025, would you get into the industry? a gun store, a range, a podcast, etc.You cannot use any contacts you already have from the gun community. You are starting from scratch with just the guns you have purchased and basic knowledge of firearms.

• Ny(e)gerski – You guys talk down alot about shadow systems, but I’d like to be a bit contrarian. When I bought mine, I was looking for something g19 sized, reliable, safe, and a bit upgraded. I considered building one on a p80 or a faxon frame…but then I saw the cr920 elite. Metal mags, upgraded trigger, grip texture, optic cut, etc. All for 750 bucks. I’ll admit they have gone up in price more than they should (i.e. kanik) and their marketing department with the wording….really guys…. my question is, have you guys looked at their optic cut? It’s pretty neat, fits most all of the different cuts without plates. It uses little spacers that you have to shoehorn the optic in where the screws have almost no pressure on them. Maybe it would be a good option to license to other manufacturers? Ps. as a fuel driver in the Midwest, there are pretty much 2 grades of fuel…subgrade which is around 84 octane, and premium which is 91. Those 2 fuels get either blended together, blended with ethanol, or both to create all the different fuels you get at the station. 84 with 10% ethanol gets you to 87octane. 84 with 15% ethanol gets you 88octane. 84 with a little 91 gets you 87 with 0 ethanol…etc. we were hoping to see you guys at goals, but had to change our vacation days from an adoption finally having an end date right after, hope you guys had a blast!

• Shaak&Awe – Curious! Can I use a crush washer on a direct tread suppressor?

• Mark B – Im looking to get a Ruger 10/22 and plan to put a scope on it, probably an old 2.5-10 Tasco I have laying around. I like the look of the heavy 16” barrel, like on model 31197. Is the bull barrel of any practical use on a 22? I do plan to do some off hand shooting, but most will be from a bipod or front bag. Ruger makes a lite model that gives the look of the heavy barrel but is much less weight, however it costs significantly more. I have no plans to compete with this, just a fun shooter. Thanks for a great show!

• Robert M – Hey gangI am a man who recently found my faith in Christ. I’m not going to preach at you, but just wanted to ask what everyone’s religious beliefs are? All I know is Aaron is a fake Jew, but that’s about it. Gob BlessNOTES- you are all cunts at times.
