I built 2 last year during lockdown, an Aero upper and lower 16" 5.56mm with a Geissele SSA-E trigger and an Anderson lower/Aero upper 10.5" .300BLK SBR with a LaRue Tactical MBT-2S trigger. For roughly 1/3 the cost, the LaRue is a nice trigger...
Picked up the e46 version 4 Leica Elmarit 28mm and external 28 view finder for when I inevitably use it on my M3.
Picked up a pair of these, still waiting for delivery, should be here Tuesday.

Looks like a heck of a deal.
Probably heavy as lead but after dropping a 4X4 on my toes awhile back I decided it was time to look for a pair.
Apparently milspec, and old school.
No problem. Return the 2x4 to the store and use that same amount to pay the doctor for your broken toe lol
No kidding.
Just erected some steps on the back porch. The materials for the steps themselves was bad enough but when I got around to looking at materials for the handrail I found the turned wooden posts I wanted were over $60 each. That's almost as much as the cost of these boots. Posts intended as porch posts were over $80 each.
When I replaced the older wooden posts with steel about 50 years ago three steel posts cost less than $40 altogether, now replacements for those cost almost twice that each even on sale.
This I have coveted for many years. It fell into my lap at a price that was too good to ignore and I knew that if I walked away I’d regret it forever.
That’s a very clean pinarello, correct color.
