Ha. That's surprising though. I would of thought the .45 barrel would of looked somewhat OK on it's own (again I'm thinking of the HK USC)

The fake can, in this case, is to ensure that its a legal length (as a non-NFA item)... which I would figure is the case for most (like the GSG's). I should have been more clear. I understand why they put it there, but I would prefer just the bare barrel, similar to the HK USC45, or PS90.

Video? Looks really nice except the suppressor... I just can't wrap my head around the logic of fake suppressors.

I had signed previously, but a BUMP was in order... It's up to 1,563. Not too shabby! :clap:

I bought the 3 from axeman... They work really well in my LAR Grizzly lower, functions perfectly, drops free, lovely. However, on my Stag lower they do not fit well and get stuck - really stuck. I don't know what the difference is, since PMags work in both, and ironically the 10rd CProducts that came with my upper works fine in the Stag as well. It could very well be my lower and not the mags, but who knows. Another plus as mentioned is that you can add Magpul Ranger Plates to these, which I like.

HA!!

Weight should be one of your top priorities. As bbk said, loading down the system with a ton of accessories takes away one of the M4gery's top assets, it's low weight. That being said, grip-pods are heavy, and I found folding vertical grips to be uncomfortable and in the way when folded. If you want a vertical grip (make sure you try one out before you buy an expensive one, some people do not find them natural) start with a simple broomstick or shorty. They are light weight, simple, and cheap. I second the DD Omega 7 rail as a good choice. You may not want to have too much hanging off the front sight post, as this is unwanted weight on the barrel, and it would effect the resonance of the barrel on each shot (maybe not noticeably, but every lit bit of inherent accuracy helps). The DD rail would let you put whatever you had on the front sight post and move it to the free floated rail, which does not affect barrel resonance. Your Bushmaster has a fixed carry handle on it? I won't be able to help much on the co-witness side, since my ARs all have flattops. I'm sure the Z mount you're referring too will help you get it the way you want. Regarding eotech, I personally don't like them. I found them to have too much going on in my sight picture, and also I have an astigmatism in both eyes, and the recticle of the eotech are constantly blurry. That is why I went with an Aimpoint, simple, clear sight picture, and one dot to look for. I have an TLR-1 on a pistol, and it works pretty well on the AR platform. I've tried a G2 mounted to the rail and like that as well. I personally don't feel pressure switches are necessary, but some people swear by them. Depending on vertical grip placement and the type of vertical grip you use, pressure switches may not even be an option, or they may be required. All that being said, do what makes you happy and what you like :!: . It's not worth spending the money on anything you won't use. Everything on my M4gery was based on weight (Sully stock aside) and my findings after trying out a bunch of alternatives. Either way, good luck and have fun :twocents-02cents:

Strictly for S&G's, what is the projected price tag on these things? More then the SCAR?

Congrats! I own an XD in .45 and have never had an issue with it. Be careful, it's never stops at just one... :twisted:

I'm good for 1, Thanks.

When he has the shoulder fired RPG aimed at your bedroom Too much Modern Warfare 2!!.... ease up buddy :twisted: :violence-guntoting:

Proper use of a mounted light (pistol or rifle) should help eliminate the "shoot me" mentality about weapon lights. I can't find the article now (figures :roll: ) but it referenced using the light in 1/4 sec flashes to visually sweep a room, and 1/2 sec flashes to identify a target. When you think about it, no one knows your house better then you, so a 1/4 flash into a room should be enough to notice something misplaced, or a shadow that shouldn't be there. Follow that up with a quick 1/2 sec to make sure that shadow is something you wish to engage. I tried this is my house. I was surprised at how effective it is. That little bit of light allows you take everything in, and does not really give away your position. As a side note, I have a G2 and TLR-1, and both lights are bright enough to light a room, but not SO bright that I get a "flashbulb" effect. All of the above aside; I never intend to clear any part of my house it I can avoid it. I have insurance, if they steal my tv... so be it. But if they come up the stairs and try to get to me or my wife....

It's been out for two days already I've only played 5 hours of MP, haven't even started the campaign yet... 8-) But I will soon :!:

SPOILERS GUYS!!!! SPOILERS!!! A warning would of been nice!

I believe some youth models (not sure which ones, unfortunately) allow the pump action to be brought further back towards the trigger, essentially shortening the length of the pump motion. I was in a similar situation when selecting a shotgun that my wife could handle.

You do not require a class 3 FFL in order to own or build or sell a SBR only a $200.00 tax stamp from the ATF the same as owning a legally registered FA weapon. In any event there are more then enough companies that will build you the barrel or upper you want so you can avoid all of this legal crap. My only question is do you guy's expect to be raided at any moment or something? lot's of paranoia I guess we are all good NJ subjects all kept in line and accounted for. What? You don't? A member on this board had the cops show up because a neighbor reported a gunman. What if he had the barrel sitting on his bench and the cops looked around. What if your house catches fire and after the fire, they see "A part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault firearm, or any combination of parts from which an assault firearm may be readily assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person"? My point is, why take the chance? Have the barrel shipped with front post/gas block installed and muzzle device attached. And we are gun owners in NJ - I'm pretty sure we are NOT "all good NJ subjects all kept in line and accounted for". Oh, and never confuse paranoia with preparedness And like I ended my last post :twocents-02cents:

OK, Im not a lawyer but I dunno about the fear of just having the barrel. its not like its on the gun or anyhting. If you put a 14.5" baarel on the gun then maybe but to just have it in the box it came in...I dunno but I'm not a lawyer as I said so get legal advice Two reasons not to have a 14.5" barrel lying around, especially if you haven't "gotten around" to perm attaching the muzzle device. TITLE 13. LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY CHAPTER 54. FIREARMS AND WEAPONS 5. A part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault firearm, or any combination of parts from which an assault firearm may be readily assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person. i. A semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (1) A folding or telescoping stock; (2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (3) A bayonet mount; (4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (5) A grenade launcher; Not worth the risk of having a lawyer saying you could attach that barrel to your upper and have an assault rifle. Or accuse you of attempting to make a SBR without a Class 3 license (NFA, whatever it's called) I'm not a lawyer either, I would rather be safe then screwed :twocents-02cents:

I would buy the barrel from adco, and ship them the muzzle comp. I would not want to have a 14.5" barrel in my possession in this state, without the muzzle device attached.

I would be good for 2, price depending...

I just clicked "View new posts" and the top 7 were yours..... However I just ruined it :twisted:

Happy Halloween indeed! - So I thinking about wearing all black, a pistol on my hip and a rifle slung across my chest, and answering the door dressed that way. But then I figured the police will probably have their hands full as it is, and they shouldn't have to be bothered with arresting me for no reason tonight. - Perhaps I'll break out the old Tae Kwon Doe uniform instead...

Thank you sir. :clap:

That looks like a lot of fun..... now to find some anvils..... and powder...... and a free state.....

Hey guys, Is the roll pin for the trigger guard re-usable?? I will be knocking out the pin to replace the standard trigger guard with an extended one. Can I reuse the same pin, or should I order another one?? FYI, I installed the first trigger guard myself, so the roll pin has been tapped in with an unprofessional touch :roll: Thanks!
