David, you are doing an awesome job.

It's really coming together well. I have a Les Baer Hardball 1911 and I think the quality of your work is much better than the work on my LB 1911.

Generally, on forums other than GTO, the volume of elitism is very high. Elitism both in the sense of personalities and brand/model elitism. That's why I only read relevant information on other forums and, as of this posting, do not post on other firearm forums. Despite this forum's small size, the ...

As I understand it, one of the main design parameters for the 300blk was to be fired sound suppressed from an AR platform. Makes a lot of sense to have a big bullet if your working velocity out of a rifle is only 1100ft/s. The overall picture for my build is the same as yours, 16" tactical rifle. (L...

Looks nice. You don't plan on ever running a single point sling? I notice you are not using an end plate that can accept one. As far as caliber, I'm pretty ignorant about the 300 AAC Blackout. It seems really similar to the 7.62x39mm AK round. Hard hitting round, good barrier penetration with a big ...

I like it, OD. You did a nice job. I never thought about stuff like opting for pocket carry due to hip issues.

At this posting, I am in my 20s; I hope that I am fortunate enough to make it to an age where I must consider these things.

I think it's definite about Magpul. They are gone Yeah, it appears they are in the process of relocating, so they say. I am glad to see them make a stand. I feel bad for all the current employees that will be losing their jobs though (I'm sure re-location for many of the workers, especially floor l...

They could potentially lose Magpul too.

I can understand people feeling the need to buy up the .223, .308, 9mm, etc... But why .22lr?

I have been able to find what I tend to use at the range sporadically except .22lr. These days, seeing boxes of .22lr on the shelves is like seeing a leprechaun riding a unicorn.

Glad to hear the primers worked out for you. If they are less expensive and work, why not?

The article was pretty good until it got all conspiracy theory near the middle/end. I don't think defeating the AWB is a home run, but I do think it doesn't have the support it needs to pass either. I do think that a positive thing from all this silliness is the amount of new shooters and gunowners...

The forward assist was added to the M16A1 because the Army was concerned about cartridge seating due to fouling or corrosion. The Army insisted on using ball powder which caused a lot of fouling. Generally speaking, is ball powder still used in 5.56mm/.223 Rem? My knowledge is limited to pistol car...

Interesting, Greener. By their logic, it seems like they would just stay home and never go out. They could encounter someone who carries a gun "just because" anywhere they go, not just on a walk...

Kahr strikers are also partially tensioned, just not to the same extent as Glock/XD. You can check it out by watching the firing pin when you close the slide on your Kahr, you will see the cocking cam catches the FP when the slide still has about 9mm to travel until it is in battery. Ideally, a part...

More of a question of practicality for me as opposed to cost savings on an upper receiver. I suppose that in the end, the forward assist was added to the design because the platform doesn't have a reciprocating charging handle (which in it's current location, would be bad:shock:). I think I'd rather...
