    I got a thing today... a new (to me) Defiant!

    Technically not ICD I guess but I feel like this is the right place. It just got here and won't have a chance to get in to it for a few days. I probably overpaid but have been n the hunt for a while. Ano is pretty clean, seems to be in good shape from what I can see. Regs are a bit different than I am used to but always down to learn new stuff. If anyone has any pointers I wouldn't turn down free advice! Also, it looks like the battery is in the tray?!

        Thanks! I'm pretty happy... Let's see if I feel the same when I open her up 😂

        Yeah that will be another story, any idea the last time it ran?

        I believe he said 15 years. Normally when I get old stuff I put air to it just to see what happens. Probably a terrible idea but just what I like to do 😂

        That said, I'll probably just go ahead and rebuild first on this one. I did get a battery in it and the solenoid clicks so that's a good start

        Thanks! I'm usually not a sponge/splash guy which made me a little hesitant but I liked it as as soon as I saw it in person

      Sweet gun! I absolutely love my Bushys and Defiants. Also hold on to that stock barrel. Most people lost the inserts that went with them, so the barrels tend to get separated from the gun. Hopefully I'll have some news soon on a new source for the Bob Long Inserts....

      Generally this is how I recommend tuning them and setting them up. Angry Antle can add a front "o" ring to your bolt and KCCockerDoc can cut the bolt ramps.

        Awesome, I appreciate the resources and I will likely have a couple of questions down the line

      I think BMC is making replacement inserts for the stock barrels now also.

        Yes he is! I am allowed to say that now. He was working on them for me but didn't want me to say anything until they were finished. They look absolutely incredible.
