Already had the 590A1, but the usps brought me the Magpul forend, SGA stock and forward sling attachment point(not sure how I'll like the sling attachment yet.) The recoil pad feels much softer than the stock one as well.  So far I'm digging this setup.

The overall look is 1,000,000,000 times cooler, and it's at least an inch shorter LOP in its factory setup so I'm not uncomfortably reaching with my T-Rex arms.

Got some movies in the mail today. These are a couple that I've been wanting to see for a long time!

Band of Brothers is a great one.  I just rewatched it a couple months ago.  I'm a huge Jimmy Stewart fan, but I've never seen that one.  How is it?

I've seen bits and pieces of B.O.B., but never sat down and watched the entire thing... can't wait to see it all!

I was really disappointed in "Carbine Williams". Overall it was a good movie and I loved Jimmy Stewart, but the entire movie was about his experience in prison and how he always marched to his own drummer- mostly at his own expense. There was almost no mention of the M1 carbine whatsoever (or any other gun for that matter) throughout the entire movie?!? 

Short synopsis of the movie: 
- He served in the Navy
- Went back home and started making moonshine
- Had a shootout and killed a tax man during a raid on his illegal liquor operation. 
- After several years in prison, was assigned to a chain gang for punishment, and butted heads with the warden often
- Found himself in solitary confinement, locked in a small steel box in the heat of the summer for 30 days and was fed only bread and water.  
- While in the box, basically went to his "happy place" to avoid the pain, and designed a new type of "short stroke piston" firearm completely in his head
- After getting out of "the hole", he began working in the prison machine shop and secretly built a prototype rifle over several years (the prototype was NOT the M1 carbine - looked more like an early BAR hunting rifle w/ magazine??)
- The warden found out, was amazed at the design and actually let him test fire it at the prison
- Word got out, the state Gov'r granted him a pardon, was hired by Winchester, and later went on to help design the M1 Carbine
- Ended up being best friends with the warden later in life, and held something like 60-70 patents for various gun parts and designs

Really amazing story, and a BRILLIANT man despite having no formal firearm design education. Just wish there woulda been more about the actual design and construction of the M1 Carbine.

My next purchase will be "The Pacific" series.... I've seen all of those, and a MUST HAVE for the collection!  :thumbup:

just got in this rather cheaply priced 1 or 2 point sling from ebay.  It's appears to be put together and stitched fairly well for the $13 price tag.  It probably won't stand up to rough and heavy use, but not bad for the budget home defense or range rifle.

did not come in the mail, found a reliable source for 22 ammo
