    I caught it before failure, but I did have a poorly machined carrier begin cutting the cam pin. I agree with HE, staked gas key (with good staking, sometimes the staking doesn't even touch the screws), proper steel, and phosphate is fine. That being said I have a chrome carrier because I hate having to scrub.

     

    I missed this forum, haven't been online in a long time.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they are defunct, definitely a budget company. I'm sure there's people trying to offload their crappy parts that they bought. Mine is going in the scrap heap.

    Pretty old news, but Ice Arms sucks. My Ice bolt carrier I picked up a while ago (after over a month of emails and shipping hassles) looked fine. Proper staking, good chrome lining, no tool marks. Been to the range a couple times and my cam pin is getting cut up by the inside edge of the carrier, which I never thought to check. Stay away from Ice.

    My RRA trigger was great until it wore out and became an almost one stage mush. If you want a budget trigger and don't care whether it's one or two stage, you could get an ALG trigger and a set of lighter springs. Otherwise, my go to is Geissle. Not too sure on calibers, my experience in distance ahooting is only with 5.56 out to 600 yds. The biggest thing you need is to practice how to compensate for wind, light conditions, etc.

    Agreed on the VCAS and I prefer it to the VTAC.

     

    Both are quality, but I am short and the extra length and adjustability from the free running end on the VTAC just gets in my way.

    That's why I went with the VCAS, didn't like the idea of a tail hanging off of me

    It is all personal preference.

     

    I am a right handed shooter. My front attachment point is always left side and as close to the receiver as I can get it.

     

    For the rear I have used left and right side on receiver endplates. I also like the Magpul ASAP plates. Recently however, I have been attaching the rear further back into the stock on the left side, even threading the sling right to the stock (Magpul CTR) without a QD swivel.

     

    As far as convertable slings, I have never felt the need to switch from 2 point to 1 point, even though my slings all had the ability.

    It'll probably be mostly a two point, I just like having options. Do you find that the rifle falls away from you when both are mounted on the left side?

    Picked up a qd VCAS sling with the triglide one point converter from IWC. What side do yall (who actually do work with your rifles) mount your slings on? As a righty shooter I've seen the front mounted on the left as well as the rear, the front on the left and the rear in the middle on an endplate, and all kinds of crazy stuff. I don't have an endplate, but my stock has qd points on it already. Purely as a two point I feel like the rear mounted on the right of the stock and the front mounted on the left of the rail would be most stable and hold the rifle upright. But when switching from two to one point the rifle would lay the wrong way. Am I just completely overthinking or is there an actual proper way to this?

    Yeah I can imagine, J&W campuses are all over the city. It's a ton of commuting, good thing they have a good bus system there. I used to hate walking to the Hospitality center for the dining hall or classes from Harborside in the freezing cold. That winter of 1996 up there was brutal. Good luck to you there at my Alma mater.

    Yeah my walk from the bus to work was about a mile. Not bad until it's below ten degrees and the wonderful New England drivers are out on the ice. Thanks for the best wishes, nice to see JWU alumni into shooting.

    Cool, you were probably on a downtown campus then? I lived on the culinary campus in East Hall my freshman year. When I was there Nutrition was in the Friedman building.

    A bit of both actually, one year of class Harborside while living downtown, then one year of both down town, then this year l lived at harborside with classes on both sides. My schedule was all sorts of crazy this year.

    I lived there for 4 years during college, fun state. I lived one year on campus. Then one year on the East Side of Providence in an apartment. Then two years in the frat house. Best time of my life.

     

    Not very gun friendly, but permits are obtainable depending on where you live. both my brothers own houses there, one is selling his to move to Florida currently. The other moved to Texas already and his daughter is living in his home there. My step mother also owns a townhouse there she rents out since she also moved to SC.

     

    What College?

    Johnson & Wales, you?

     

    Rhode Island is may issue state and if you meet their license requirements you have a 50 % chance of getting a carry permit.

    But, at least you have a better chance getting a carry permit in RI  than in NJ.

     And then Rhode Island has a  7 day waiting period for long guns and pistols.

    Good Luck

     

    RI has some weird laws, they're not written that restrictively, but the culture isn't here and they're interpreted in that light. For example shall issue permits if you demonstrate a reasonable need so in effect may issue. And thanks.

    Supressors

    No NFA items, but at least there's no mag restrictions.

     

    I am not 100% sure about this, but I think if you get a non-resident CCW it goes to the RISP and you get the entire state. I do know as a resident you 95% get CCW limited to your municipality (or area?). I might be wrong but I would look into this first thing before you even leave the house tomorrow.

    Depends if you go through the AG or local police chief, laws here are almost as weird as NJ

    So I just got my first apartment (been living a mixture of on campus and home for the summers) in Rhode Island (not much better than the people's republic, but a little) and I don't plan on coming back. I'll be there a year or so until I graduate and then free state here I come. So I guess here's to future adventures somewhere in America. On that note, which would you do first: ccw, sbr, something else?

    I think you need to define on a budget first and what role the rifle will be playing. The ALG trigger is a great choice at a low price. If you're not planning on it being a defensive rifle, I'd invest more money in quality mags and ammo over other miscellaneous parts. An enlarged trigger guard would be nice if you plan on shooting with gloves.

    Pretty much all receivers are the same. There's only a few forgers and most companys don't make their own in house. I happen to like Spikes because I like their roll marks and logo. As for lpk, I prefer Geissele triggers in all my builds so I buy lpk minus the fire control group (trigger).
