Dan O'Leary - the owner of Gunstruction sent me a package with some extras in it to give away. So, that's what I'm going to do with these extras. He also sent me a Raptor charging handle with the Gunstrucion logo laser engraved - that's now on my pistol though [:)] His business card he sent me had a nice note on it. "Thanks for your patience and support - Dan- Raptor #30 of 30"
That's really neat.

However, I have a couple of Gunstruction Strike Industries UDC polymer dust covers to give away and these are really neat. They don't use a C-clip. They have a compressible rod instead. Nifty idea.

So, the first 2 people who post in this thread that they need a dust cover will get one from me as a Christmas present. Pretty simple giveaway [:)]

I'll send one each to the first 2 folks who let me know they need one.

Merry Christmas!

Some good guys helped me with my pistol build Gost. I'm happy to have something to share and give back to the community. The compressible rod on these dust covers is really a cool idea. No messing around with a C-clip. [:)] ... I think they got the idea from the wrist strap pin on a watch.

That is a good idea. If it's compatible they should sell just the rod for those who would like to use it with a regular dust cover.

I haven't checked Strike Industries site for parts. It is possible that they sell only the rods. I think though that it's more likely they only come with the UDC (Ultimate Dust Cover) dust covers. I don't think the rods are compatible with a standard dust cover though. The dust covers have a tiny set screw installed in them.

Would love one - but I'm looking to get some engraving for my 300 BLK build - something special [:D]

congrats guys, sweet dust covers ya'll are gettin; and I as well like the pin design on those. having a pin setup like that would have let me not have to order 5 more c clips due to the original one going PIIING and losing itself in the carpet, lol

It was nice of Dan to send me the extras to give away. I figured the best place to give them away was right here in WEVO [:)]
They'll be in the mail tomorrow or Saturday.

Cool of you Will to spread the wealth with your WEVO brothers.

GOST, guys here in this forum opened their hearts to me and sent me a lot to help me building my AR pistol - I'm working on making the last $250 to finish it. I need to buy 4 parts. Some extra stuff they sent me, I sent to another forum member who needed them. When Dan sent me the extra dust covers along with the rest of the swag for my rifle that will eventually get here that I won, well, I just wanted to share it forward. A really neat T-shirt I gave to a lady at the local co-op. On the front is a neat design on the history of tax stamps. On the back it says "Real men collect stamps".

She loved it. We are all gun people here in Idaho [:)] Granted there are a few liberal retards but there are so few of them that they can't do anything.

The biggest surprise in that box was the Raptor charging handle. AXTS made 30 or them for Gunstruction as a gift with the Gunstruction logos on them. Dan sent me the last one #30 of 30 as an extra gift. I now see why those Raptor charging handles cost what they cost. I put it on the pistol build - I can cycle the action even though I don't have the barrel yet.

Some of the real nice stickers my wife is sending to the 12 year old son of a friend of hers in Facebook. All good pro 2nd Amendment stickers.

Gunstruction also sent me all the extra parts. Trigger pins, trigger springs, a standard end plate and a complete forward assist. Also, Jim sent me complete springs for a lower. So, if someone needs a spring, they just need to let me know. 'sticking one in the mail is only a 45 cent postage stamp.

As you must know, BDL Custom had the fire and Mike lost his shop. Gunstruction had my rifle packed to send to Mike. Fortunately that very expensive rifle was not in his fire. So, instead, it's gone off to CIV Tactical for receiver accurizing and blueprinting. Dan has bought a gift certificate from Mike and is sending it to me. I will send my rifle to Mike when he's back up and running and is able to be back in normal business. I'm patient, I know it will all be good. In the meantime, I'll get to test my rifle [:)] I've never had or even fired a piston driven rifle before so this will be interesting.
