I just went to nearly every authorized dealer link and it isn't exactly easy easy to fuel up on a Hinderer.....
I'll keep up the quest and education. In the meantime I took delivery of a backordrered NIB Spyderco Manix2 yesterday that I'm going to customize with some scales from Custom.Scale.Division which I've never done. So I'll trick out that ride while I wait for a Hinderer to come along. Now off to try and get the LAST item I need for my latest AR15 build....a nickel boron BCG.....I assume at least a few of you on this thread own black rifles and understand that quest as well.

Definitely takes a little patience to find exactly what you are looking for, but that's all part of the fun of owning Hinderers. I've done more research and spent more time on my Hinderer collection than I did on putting together what I consider the perfect black rifle. It's so worth it though.

Easy or not, the Hinderer hunt is part of the fun. I'll share a tip that might prove fruitful...phone the authorized dealer(s) of choice.
I don't like to talk too much about things other than knives on the knife forum but yes, many here are fond of things that go bang!

Be sure to hit the guns and Hinderers thread if you haven't already. I've had EBR's in the past, and understand the desire to find just the right part for a build.

Thank you. Actually I happen to live right near Spike's Tactical! Their nickel boron BCG is quite well received. ;-). I'm hoping a connection there will hook me up next week.

I've heard their stuff is overprices for the quality, but can't speak from personal experience.

Hell of a shot rubi! If you have any leftovers send some my way. We should exchange recipes sometime. I make a hell of a chipmunk burger.
Head shot from 25 yds - Off Hand. My old instructor would be proud! Been after this one for weeks, smart one he was.

I tried for weeks to do the "Humane trap" thing..... ended up catching and killing half a dozen field mice instead.
Damn dirty little creatures. If they weren't pooping all over my workbench they were buiding nests on the intake manifold of my camaro or the airbox of my kids car.
So, walking the dogs yesterday and who "pops up" for a look see but chippy the monk. He had a knack for showing himself whenever I was at a disadvantage like two hands full of 200 lbs of Dog. I took the pooches into the garage and put them in "sit" ,a phenomenon my Wife is in amazement over, and grabbed my already-to-go chippy killer, fully expecting he was long gone and he was.
Standing there for a couple of minutes, just to make my point with Pete and Mason, who comes back and pops up on a rock? Yep.
Mistake.
I slowly pull up in an ackward off-hand position my feet out of place but I didn't want to move and scare him...take up a good sight picture and start to slowly take my breath, just as I'm about to let half out and start the squeeze here comes a car down my road to my 1 o'clock. Damn.
I had to hold for it to pass hoping nobody would move. He didn't.
That is until I squeezed off my Good-Bye round and chippy disappeared.
Clean head shot, He never felt a thing.
As Mother nature does, He was cleanly gone this morning and so the cycle repeats.
He had grown fat off the nectar of my Hummingbird feeders and now is someone elses meal, Gus and company is visibly relieved and I get a break from brewing little bird nectar as my feeders were not empty this morning.
All is right with the Universe (for a little while)

I was hoping they would come by as he lay in state prostrate across the burial rock but only some rather rude insects stopped to pay their respects.
I have knocked off about 4-5 in the last 2 months - not sure how large the families get.
I'd be fine with them if they would just go live in an adjacent area and not burrow all through my plants and mulch beds.
