Tactical Monkey

I've shot the FNP 45, and the HK USP 45. The FN is a monster of a handgun (overall size), and the grip on the HK USP (I've not yet shot the HK45) is very long. But they both are soft shooting guns for .45 I don't know what your price point is, but if you are sticking between those 2 you really can't make a bad choice. However, I own a XD45 and absolutely love it That being said be sure to shoot them before you buy.

Ruger11 - I have a DPMS LR-308B 18" for sale. See the thread below: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27422-wts-dpms-lr-308b-w-add-ons/page__fromsearch__1 Shoot me a PM and we can discuss price

While speculation - I believe Ben was explaining the physical canting of the rifle itself at a 45 angle to minimize your profile, similar to how SBU prone is done. IMHO leaving a weapon exposed on top of cover is just as bad as holding a sign saying "Shoot here".

There's nothing funny about just a Monkey, so yeah - I'm Tactical

As mentioned above I have an Ace Entry. I really like it for my purposes, but it is short. I don't wear body armor, I don't where a vest, but I do shoot square to the target with NTCH. That being said - a lot of my buddies have issues shooting that rifle because they feel like their face is to the charging handle. It's a combination of how you orient yourself to the target (square/bladed) and your body type that would determine if the Entry is too short for you. They do make a 1" butt pad for the Ace skeleton stocks, or you could look into one of the 1" receiver extensions if you find the stock is too short. Both DPMS and Knight's Armament make them.

The Sully Stock is many things - sturdy, reliable, with a solid cheek weld, but it is not lightweight. Depending on your upper it will help balance out your rifle, but if your build includes a LW barrel profile, and if LW was your goal with the build - I'd look elsewhere. That being said I have the Sully stock on one of my rifles, and it's an excellent stock. But on my LW build I went with the Ace Entry stock. Just my $0.02 And as far I know you have to order it from their website.

+1k The issue is finding a range that will let someone host one. If my range did (and they most certainly do NOT ) I would pick up that torch and run with it!

+1. A Giessele SSA found it's way into each of my AR's. However -Digz if you want a Bill Springfield trigger on the cheap ( a light single stag) let me know. I have one I'm looking to offload.

Knowledgeable as you think your son may be - he's still 12. Unless he is vastly different from most 12 yo, his knowledge may be based off of Call of Duty, Battlefield, youTube, and other versions of media. I'm not saying that's the case, but if you do not have firearms experience then take a class, period. Do not for one second think that his being safety-conscious is sufficient, as it takes only a fraction of one second for the unthinkable to occur. With that out of the way. Welcome to shooting! I hope it becomes a hobby the two of you can enjoy together.

My BCM LW 14.5 shoots really well - never shot it for precision though. It has somewhere around 2k rounds through it, but next time I hit the range I will bipod and rear bag it @100 yards if you are interested. Let me know.

If you own a quality drill, buy a new bit, and have some spare roll pins from a lower build - it can easily be done in less than 5 minutes from start to finish. I'm sure a drill press makes it simple, but it's definitely not required. Save yourself some money, buy a $2 bit, and go to town.

Considering both the M-4 and M-16 have the ejection port on the wrong side (lefty rifles), I don't think this graphic holds water.

.308 flavor - just saying... WTS: DMPS LR-308

If you are looking at Hagues, Bobs', etc., you owe it to yourself to look at South Hersey Shooting Club (SJSC) in Winslow and Square Circle in Gibbsboro. Both have multiple outdoor ranges at varying distances, with minimal restrictions on what you can shoot (read .50 and such). For more information about the two (and others options) you can click the link to the thread in my sig line below.

Well played sir, well played indeed...

Being a member there for 3 years and not being a Mason, I've never even heard that before you just said it. If you'd like to actually check the place out, let me know.

I shot axeman's at the initial NIB break-in... While the FN was a soft shooting .45, I attribute that to the fact it is a MONSTER sized handgun and the ammo capacity helps weigh it down to tame recoil. That being said I love my XD45 for a lot of the same reason (13 rounds, mild recoil, etc.) but I can comfortably grip the XD, and was stretching with the FN. $0.02

Don't let them sweat you too hard - there's nothing wrong with 30... Happy birthday!

I would highly suggest taking a look at the folks over at Bravo Company. I have 2 of their Uppers and they are both top-notch, and very affordable. Also they can pin and weld a muzzle brake for you should you request the service. Bravo Company USA

I would hold off on anything C-Products. Last I heard (and my info may be outdated) they were having issues on multiple levels - production times, shipping, billing, etc etc... On a different note if your ordering mags new, you might as well look at PMags. And with that - reach out to Ty from MidwestPX who is a forum sponsor. Just my free $0.02

Congrats Vlad!! Breathe the free air, and enjoy the standard capacity magazines!!
