    Opinions on best billet lower with most features etc

    Mega and Seekins are the two big names in billet. I have a Mega and think it's great. That said, San Tan Tactical makes a billet lower that has really caught my interest for my next build. Rainier Arms has them in stock, FYI.

    new weapon light

    Maybe not the brightest choice out there, but it is still plenty bright. Plus runtime is decent. WML White LED Flashlight - Carbon Black | Weapon Light | INFORCE®

    Replacement barrel options/thoughts?

    ORD, thanks for the feedback. I'm beginning to gather the same thing about the BCM...some are real shooters, others leave something to be desired. I'd love to have the Ultramatch and did ask about upgrading from the Match. I asked about getting a small discount in the price difference but was...

    Replacement barrel options/thoughts?

    Don't worry, Gator, the Shilen at 20" and $400+ isn't my cup of tea.

    Replacement barrel options/thoughts?

    Hey all. I initially had a 16" RA Match barrel (223 wylde). After I finally pieced together my build, the barrel extension/feed ramps were a big problem in my upper (Mega billet). The right feed ramp had a small burr and the left was considerably more narrow on the extension than my lower...

    Bolt not fitting carrier.

    So I just received a JP enhanced bolt (223/5.56), and have had a carrier made by Kies Firearms (NiB plated). When I went to assemble the BCG, my bolt wont fit into the carrier far enough to insert the cam pin. Opening for the cam pin in the bolt barely fully reaches the front of the cut-out for...

    Anti-seize On barrel extension during assembly?

    So I'm finally assembling my AR tomorrow as I wait on my bolt. During assembly, is it beneficial or recommended to put some anti-seize on the extension so if I ever swap barrels it's not stuck in the reciever with carbon build up? Or does the extension get too hot for anti-seize? The other...

    To all Hide Members in Olka!

    50cal. That pic is actually from the Joplin tornado. But still a testament to what winds during and EF5 tornado can do.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need a pocket carry gun 400$ or less

    I have a Kahr P380 as my pocket carry when my HK P30 prints too much with certain t-shirts. No bigger than my wallet, accurate, and has been really reliable. Just make sure you clean it regularly, as previously mentioned it picks up some lint and gunk hanging out in a pocket. If you want a 9mm...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    To help make ends meet, I now work part-time at a local gun shop/range. Some co-workers have recently (as within the past week or so) had their carry guns treated with Froglube. Makes the action feel really smooth and nice, but not sure of it long term. Does it eventually gum-up/get sticky. Do...

    Student Owns His "Teacher"

    So lazy she won't/can't even defend herself. Good for that kid, and I hope someone throughs the book at her. Or at least throughs A book at her for her to read about how to be an effective teacher.

    Adjustable Gas Block Options

    Joeboboutfitters has 2 types of adjustable blocks by Kies: a set screw type for $35 and clamp-on for $44. I just bought and installed the clamp-on type. Seems like a nice piece of equipment, especially given the price. Haven't shot it yet as I'm still on the prowl for a NiB BCG....

    Gas tube finish?

    Cerakote is a good option, thanks. JFK, you in the OKC area and offering use of your blaster?

    Gas tube finish?

    So the only mid length gas tube I could find to buy was one in stainless steel that has a pretty shiny/polished finish. I have a Seekins MCSR rail that is pretty well vented and a bead-blasted stainless barrel. My question is, so that I don't have such an obviously shiny tube, could I paint the...

    Opinions needed: ar15 rifle buffers

    Yeah, ORD is dead-on with his suggestion of an adjustable gas block. Joeboboutfitters has one made by Kies for a reasonable $45 that I just received the other day. Not on my rifle yet, but seems pretty nice, especially hard to beat for the price. If you still need to play around with buffers...

    What If Pappy Van Winkle?

    Legal? Not sure on that. Easiest? Sell it to me and I won't tell a soul where I got it.

    Barrel nut burr = mounting/accuracy probs?

    I just got my Seekins 12" MCSR rail and it looks amazing. However, the aluminum barrel nut has a protruding burr on the face that will meet with barrel extension, covering about 1/3 of the circumference. Since the barrel nut is aluminum, will this compress and not be an issue, or will this cause...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone Else had Kahr Magazine Problems?

    No problems with my Kahr mags. Hopefully it's nothing more than a mag issue and nothing with the gun, and that Kahr will make it right by sending a few new mags your way.

    Seekins 12" MCSR? Bueller? Bueller?

    Thanks, Havoc. I've seen the R Guns BCGs, but like you am unsure of their quality. I've been stalking sites to see if any other maker gets some in stock with the hopes of getting one I know I've heard good things about, but depending upon how much longer I have to wait I may just get the RGuns...
