In my opinion, it cannot hurt to make a reasonable request of the police department. The worst they can do is say no.

The PMC ammo had the pressure you need for the carbine upper. It may be slightly undergassed for the new middie upper. I think testing with the H and H2 is the smart move. Use the heaviest one that still functions reliably. Considering this happens only once every hundred rounds or so, I bet the H2 is your ticket.

Are you are looking for a mil-spec, reliable, trust your life to it kind of gun? If so, stick with Colt (the mods are easy on a 6920. TJ Sporting Arms can do it inexpensively), Bravo Company, Daniel Defense, Noveske, Knights Armament. I am probably forgetting one or two. In my opinion, the easiest and most cost efficient of these choices is Bravo Company. You can go to their website and have a high quality upper mailed right to your house. Since most of them have bayo lugs, if you chose one with a lug you would need to have it shipped to an FFL where they can grind it off for you. If you want a fun gun, then I think any of the ones on your list would be fine. I have been accused of being a rifle snob. Since I would want to be able to grab any AR I own if there were a problem, I buy good quality stuff.

Springs wear from repeated compression/extension. I don't believe that storing a spring compressed hurts it. Same goes for loaded mags.

If you have a 16" barrel, a midlength gas system block will be closer to the muzzle than the carbine gas block. That means less dwell time for midlength and less gas to operate the bolt. I had to switch to a spacer, carbine spring and H2 buffer on my Spikes 14.5 midlength upper. It would get exactly the same problem that you had with a rifle tube, spring and buffer.

Get a skeet choke for skeet. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Nice folks that run the place. I love the lodge.

Maybe it's for towns in open carry states where the police still stop you for OC. Philly comes to mind.

I think you'll have a much harder time finding FDE in a Gen 3. FDE guns seem to be on the market a lot less. Your best best is new production (i.e. Gen 4).

The Dillon is a great press. I have the 650. The only hassle really is switching between large and small primers.

Carolina Shooter Supply. Great company. Inexpensive same day shopping.

Nice guy and Easy to deal with.

Enjoy the rifle Joe!

An A1 front sight is bigger and has a rounded profile. It is easier for target acquisition but has less precision than the A2 sight. Also, you will need an A1 sight tool. A2 has a different number of notches.

I am glad that polite persistence and insistence on your rights won the day. And hopefully it greased the wheels for your next time through, and even for the next person that applies.

Hope it works out this time.

Add the fact that the owner of Progressive is a huge donor to causes that seek to strip gun owners of their rights and turn them into criminals, and you have.a company I would never consider doing business with.

I love the comments. "I wouldn't volunteer to be the first one to shoot 300 Win Mag" out of a polymer 3D printer gun.

I bought Ken's Malaysian 7.62x51 and shot it at Central Jersey today in my PTR91 (HK91 clone). All I can say is that it works great in a short barrel gun. I had someone spotting me and I went 20 for 20 on steel at 150 yards with it.

As a teacher, until you have tenure, your employment is at the discretion of your Board Of Ed. They can fire you without ever giving a specific reason. As a former teacher, my advice would be to wait until you get tenure. It sucks, but it would be very difficult to prove that the permit was the reason they took action against you.

Super nice guy. Don't hesitate to do business with him.

In an AR, or in general?
