    I think he's FOS, with a fair amount of conjecture, if not outright mis-information & he has plenty of company. MM

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    That looks ass-backwards to me............... Coefficient of Friction (COF) is a major reason for coating BC's & in descending order of COF is DLC, PVD, NP3 (a form of NiB) Chrome, & lastly, manganese phosphate. So all else being equal (bore for gas rings, outside contact dimensions of the...

    Why do you think that one is better than this one, other than being $5 cheaper? MM AO Mag Phos BCG

    Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

    Vltor uppers are nice, but of the several that I've used, none were are a snug fit on a variety of barrels, slip fit at best. So if you really like Vltor uppers, trueing the face & loctite is your friend. As for lightweight barrels that shoot well, Wilson Combat barrels shoot well above their...

    Recommend me a muzzle device

    These brakes are amazing for the recoil reduction for the size, but they are loud. Either the Gen 2 or the Gen 4 are great, but prices have gone up. MM https://www.americanprecisionarms.com/collections/gen-4-self-timing-muzzle-brakes

    Making magazines reliable? How? (AR-15)

    Lancer is great, Magpul Gen 3 are fine, Gen 2's are OK; change the follower & spring to Magpul; fixes most issues; file / stone off the inside edges of the lips never hurts. MM

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    This ^^^. But the 10" is not an LR rifle, so I see no need for the magnifier in the 1st place other than for show. If I need more range than the Eotech is good for, then I want a different rifle altogether with an LPVO. YMMV MM

    Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

    RCA makes the nitrided BCG's for sure & at one time Noveske even mentioned that on their website. Not sure about the phosphated ones............but I doubt that RCA makes those as they offer no phos on any of their own line. MM

    KAC vs Radian Model 1 vs JP enterprises ctr-02

    MOD 2's have an M-LOK rails; the LPR versions have Krieger barrels, same as previous LPR's but with a lighter contour. MM

    KAC vs Radian Model 1 vs JP enterprises ctr-02

    The best of all worlds.............................. KAC LPR I have one of the earlier ones with a heavier profile barrel; this gun will do all that you need & then some, & it appears to be available & Kelley's is a very reliable source...........I've bought several guns from him. While the JP...

    Does ANYONE have a source for this rail?

    CMT makes nice stuff & I really like their receivers, but that rail is like lots of others. Look at the Ion Lite series from SLR..............their rails are some of the very best & some of the best looking rails available. SLR Ion Lite 13.7" MM

    Criterion barrel brass pressure signs

    I've spent half a lifetime working with electroplated chromium & other types of coatings as well...........just not on gun barrels. And that's a schitty chrome job; the underlying chrome in the areas shown was plated as abnormally nodular/rough. And the beginnings of the chrome peeling is...

    Riflespeed or Superlative for running suppressed?

    Not sure what new products you are referring to with SLR, but their AGB is my preferred device. It works very well, fits about any HG as the SLR's are some of the smallest ID diameter available, & it is easy to take apart & clean if necessary. Only real downside, if anyone really views it as...

    Centurion cmr vs geissele mk 14/16

    Those a 2 of my favorite as well, with a slight nod to the Geiselle because of the longer barrel nut & ease of taking it off if needed. But, IMO, the best of them all is the SLR Ion Lite. It has a barrel nut about the same length as the Geiselle with a better finish. All 3 are about the same...

    New Purchase?

    That would be a great option, if not going with a 5.56. Problem is, of course, a big WHEN? KAC doesn't move very fast. Despite the Fanbois on one end & the Haters on the other end, I don't find much not to like about KAC's small frame rifles except the cost. MM

    New Purchase?

    Hmmm, didn't know that; it still shows on their website. When did they stop offering it? MM

    New Purchase?

    Since you seem to like KAC, why not an SR-15, MOD 2, LPR? It has a somewhat lighter contour Kreiger barrel than the MOD 1, but I've never seen a full evaluation of the MOD 2. I have a MOD 1 with the slighter heavier Kreiger barrel & the UXR 3.1 handguard; the MOD 2 also has an M-LOK handguard...
