armalite actually makes a 15-round mag for their style rifle. i was torn between the AR-10 style and DPMS/SR25 style for the build i'm currenly working to put together. ended up going with an iron ridge dpms style lower and i'm waiting on their upper receiver to be released soon.

check out the selection at PK Firearms as well. http://www.pkfirearms.com/ i've ordered plenty of stuff from these guys. if it's listed on their site, it's in stock and they ship fast. quite a variety of complete uppers in stock and always some awb-friendly setups.

i picked up an 18" POF upper a while ago... not because i feel there is anything wrong with any of my gas guns but because i wanted one. it's nice and tight and very solid mounted on top of the LMT lower i have it on. i don't think you'd really see the so-called advantages of the gas-piston designs unless you have one on top of a full-auto lower and really get a chance to wring it out. i do intend on optics but for now i can get a bit over moa accuracy with open sights out to about 100 yards.

is there a minimum number of students to make this happen?

the 'worst' thing i've read about it is that it can be difficult to get scope rings to fit the base they use. i'm not sure of the specific details and some information seems to indicate that CZ should / does ship it with rings. personally, considering i'm not going to be putting anything besides wolf / brown bear through it i can't really expect more than 'minute of torso'... open sites would probably be just fine.

have you had any professional firearms training?

considering how filthy most of the 7.62 x 25 ammo i've shot has been, that'd be a reliability nightmare when coupled with a high point.

glad to help. one of these in 7.62x39 has been on my 'list' for some time now... i keep putting it off with thoughts that gas guns are going to disappear faster than bolt guns might in future legislation. pretty dumb reasoning because every time i read about it i remember how much i want one.

gunblast review from 2003 on the 7.62x39 version. http://www.gunblast.com/Paco_CZ527.htm

i have been interested in the 7.62x39 version of this rifle for some time now. i can't recall where it was i first heard / read about it though. something about a bolt action carbine length rifle in that caliber just seems fun. http://cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-527-carbine/

but, if you're buying from noveske i recall him telling me that he'd be happy to make it ban-compliant. so, why bother with shipping back and forth and extra hands handling it?

cool... thanks for taking the time to post. looks like they do a really nice job and on the finish as well.

i would be interested to see more close-up pics of their rivet work.

nice... always good to see AKs in the garden state. what type of finish do they use?

the WORST i've had in any of my AR rifles was via a DPMS parts kit. it was the equivalent of marshmallow.

the nicest trigger i've used (in an AR style rifle) is the single stage IRA unit that came in the lower i picked up from them recently. http://www.ironridgeguns.com/products/iratrigger01/ there's no creep and it breaks like glass. as for 2-stage, i like the RRA NM and the LMT 2-stage that came in the defender lower i have from them.

yeah well... guess it's not going to happen anyway. thanks.

deadline is this friday (09/11) if anyone might be interested. thank you.

anyone interested in attending this? was going to be 'private' training but there doesn't seem to be enough local interest to make it happen. the hosting range: http://www.keystonefishandgameclub.com/ cost is $140.00

hello. not really 'new' here and can't quite recall if i've actually made an intro or not (probably not). been posting on a few other forums for a while now. i usually keep the same user-name even though now it's for consistency sake more than anything. born and spent most of my life in PA so i still do a lot of my shooting out there but do what i can to make the most of living here (for the past 9+ years). i have been thinking about getting into some idpa-type stuff here in nj but just never seem to get around to it.

fixed it... thanks for the heads up. didn't realize the youtube link doesn't require the entire url.

at first i was thinking it was 'mira' which is a sort of 'dream pop' kind of thing on projekt records.
