Taking a break from all the anxiety-inducing legislation talk, so i figured i'd post an update on the carbine.

 

I got the Magpul XTM Hand Stop kit a couple of weeks ago and i'm getting used to it. I like it a lot more than the AFG, because i would choke up on it anyway and only use the front portion. Way better than using a vertical foregrip as a reference point. I feel like i can get closer to the bore this way and be able to control the rifle a little more. Right now, i'm running it so my support hand index finger is on the front part of hand stop, and the knife edge of my palm is resting on the rear. I'm liking it a lot, even though i'm only 100 rounds or so in on this setup.

Doesn't the cap on your optic get on the way if you flip up your rear sight?

Not at all, the pivot point for the sight clears it with no issues. The end of the cap is about a half inch away from it.

 

I am curious though, what light is attached to that switch?

 

Just a standard Insight M3X. I'm trying to justify swapping out the head for the LED version.

Think this is the most recent one...

Spikes M4 upper with Adams Arms piston kit (installed by Spikes). Lower was a stripped DPMS, which I picked up prior to the 2008 election.

 

The change since that picture is the Rainier Arms ambidextrous charging handle... which I really like.

Chris, that magpul front sight isn't made for a gas block rail, and it's backwards.

 

What optics are you running on the bottem one?

 

It's not a magpul sight. Midwest industries hk style. It goes on backwards so it can fold to the front. If it folded to the rear it would hit the handguard.

The bottom one is the vortex sparc

A couple of mine...

 

Colt MT6400R with Colt/Rogers stock, EGW brake, and TA01NSN ACOG. My 'do it all' ranch rifle.

Colt MT6700 lower with PSA Govt profile CHF barrel, and EGW brake. Man, I forgot how much Iove a 20" rifle.

 

ADCO did the thread/pin weld on both my 6400R's and my 6400. They did an outstanding job and turned around quickly.

I asked on the forums and I'm leaning towards sending it to ADCO to get it done once my surefire brake gets in (which has been taking forever)

 

can you tell me the price?

I think my brake was $30 to pin/weld

 

Yeah, it's +55 for the SF brake, still puts the total at $145 + shipping otherwise. Little bit more than what you paid originally, but I appreciate the fact that they realize there's a difference between indexed and non indexed brakes.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
