Looks good! I don't know how much you care about accuracy or consistency out of this weapon - but in my opinion you should take that light and mount off of your barrel, and get it on your free float hand guards. With your current setup the weight of the mount/light will affect harmonics, and will affect consistency of your shot placement. If you're not out for accuracy then I guess it doesn't matter, but I felt compelled...

Welcome

I'm good to go for 1...

Excellent read. So much info my head hurts

Where's Glenn when you need him??

Picked one up at the Valley Forge Gun Show... It's a sweet shooting little rifle B)

Come on Ray.... It's XBOX

It might. However it would also do the same for whatever you are trying to ID... I have a Surefire G2 on my nightstand. 80 Lumens is about the right brightness for my applications, you just need to be mindful not to throw off your own vision.

Interesting, thanks for the input. I will have to give that a go tonight. However 90% of my home is hardwood or tile... I'm curious to see how much light it reflects.

Depending on what I'm doing, and what I'm wearing, will determine if I go out with a Benchmade 707 McHenry & Williams or a Benchmade 551 Griptilian. Both knives are sharp, light, feature the AXIS locking mechanism, and are very durable.

Was that a Priest in the one pic?! (I mean the arty piece, not a man of the cloth)

Congrats!!

How does that light hold up to the recoil of 12g buck shot? If your going to spend any amount of money ($30-$300) towards placing a light on your weapon, I believe it should a light designed around weapon use. That being said, I have a TLR-1 on my XD45 (great minds Ray Ray, great minds) and a G2 with mount on my SHTF AR. Another piece of information to consider is that I feel there is a point of diminishing returns with a 300 lumen weapon light. At lights with around 150 lumens, in pitch black conditions indoors, I get a flash bulb effect that actually blinds me (the operator)for a second. I'm talking about the ambient light bouncing off of walls in a tight hallway or small room. It's not as bad with a 100 lumen light, especially when used in short bursts. Since most of us would be using these inside our homes, it's an important factor, in my opinion. ETA:Practice, Practice, Practice with whatever option you chose. Whether that is a weapon mounted light, or hand held, it does you no good if you don't practice with it.

Thanks Gents...

So it is NJ legal, regardless of the fact with "different" ammunition it can hold more then 15 rounds?

+1

Not to put up a trick question (but it is tricky ): A Henry Lever Action .22 can hold 15 rounds of .22LR, but 21 rounds of .22S ... It then has the capacity for more then 15 rounds. NJ Legal?

19 rounds?? No wonder you are Commander in Chief....

Stripped AR Lowers are considered "pistols" in PA, and can not be sold directly to a NJ resident. They would have to be shipped to an FFL. So keep in mind you would have to add FFL transfer fees to any stripped lower you purchase in PA. ETA: A spikes lower at 79.99 is a freakin amazing price!

I plan almost all of my purchases... but there has been an impulse buy or two in there

I have Troy's as well. I bought them to replace a set of MI flip-ups, because the front sight wobbled...

I've put together stripped lowers from Stag, Spikes Tactical, RRA, LAR Manufacturing, and Sun Devil. It would be a toss up between the Spikes/LAR for which I thought were the nicest. Depending on what purpose you are building the AR, depends on which lowers you should look at. A lot of people will tell you a lower, is a lower, is a lower. If you are building it for HD/SHTF - spend a few extra dollars. That would be my advice

I would love to see her... socially
