silverado427 10,730 Posted June 14, 2014 Hey Vlad in pA do you have a choice of either a flash hider or a muzzle brake. on your ARs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted June 14, 2014 Hey Vlad in pA do you have a choice of either a flash hider or a muzzle brake. on your ARs There are no banned guns, parts, or accessories in PA.* You can put on BOTH at the same time plus a grenade launcher and a quadrail with 4 bayonets and a 150 round CL-MAG. Then you can give it to your underaged kid and say "Merry Christmas, this is yours" and he can walk to the range with it loaded. (*Actually there is a small thing where PA law messed up restricting NFA items to only things that are registered with the federal NFA registry but they defined firearms to include potentially blackpowder which the ATF will not register under the NFA because they are not firearms LOL - affects black powder short barreled shotguns IIRC. I also think there is one almost AOW shotgun that ATF will not register that meets the PA definition). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heavyopp 167 Posted June 15, 2014 How about that Umbrella Grip --- Do you notice the more upright angle? Is it soft like a Hogue or hard like a magpul? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted June 15, 2014 How about that Umbrella Grip --- Do you notice the more upright angle? Is it soft like a Hogue or hard like a magpul? Not to step on Vlad's toes... but at his recommendation I went to all-upright grips for my ARs and find them to be significantly more comfortable when shooting squared up to the target. I chose the BCM Mod 0 in order to have storage in the grip. The BCM is textured hard plastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted June 15, 2014 How about that Umbrella Grip --- Do you notice the more upright angle? Is it soft like a Hogue or hard like a magpul? it is hard.. and yes I notice the angle.. no question.. the more important question is will it work for you.. as jon stated.. if you shoot squared off facing the target.. it is perfect.. it puts a lot less stress on your wrist.. not stepping on my toes.. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shooter28 153 Posted June 19, 2014 How do you like the light? Ive been contemplating one of those for a while now. Any issue with battery drain? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted June 19, 2014 I shot somebody's gun with that light today. First time I saw it. Didn't use the light, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted June 20, 2014 I have zero issues with the light.... it seams to last a fair amount of time.. but keep in mind it is running off of only a single battery.. so it will need to be changed more frequently than a light of similar brightness running two batteries.. the big thing for me really is the ergonomics of the light.. I love the feel and control of it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
