Doh! How did I forget you had one - I guess I have shot a gun that has a Troy brake

Well, when I wrote what I wrote, I did in fact mention it for the 14.5" mipa had mentioned... but I should've caught that the BC 2.0 wasn't long enough and wouldn't be good for that application oops

Nice blaster Overt - enjoy it!

Very sharp! If I remember correctly, DirtyDigz has one on his AR... but I've only seen his gun fired and haven't shot it myself to have an opinion on how effective it is as a comp/brake.

Have you considered the BattleComp 2.0? It's certainly pricey, but my understanding is that it is designed to work with suppressors that will fit an A2. http://174.36.133.117/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=19&zenid=flt1uvq0oeu0lu3f559g052oo3

http://www.adcofirearms.com/ You'd have to ship them your upper, but they're very good at barrel work.

Very nice builds! Andy - is that a monolithic upper? Very nice! I have an almost identical set up, Dan - cept mine's a 16" BCM and a few different accessories. Everyone always comments on how heavy the AR looks with the 12" rail, but it's really not that bad. It's certainly not a 6lb lightweight carbine, but no one where near as heavy as everyone seems to think.

Another +1 for that idea. When I got 16" BCM upper I had it sent directly to PK90/Arms-N-Ammo and had him pin&weld a comp.

If this happens I'd be in for 3-4 curved stubbies.

A little late to the party, but CONGRATS! It certainly makes life easier to have a wife that accepts our crazy hobby

According to the schedule on their website: 19-Mar-11 CH SwapMeet 10:00 to 1:00

Glad to see they implemented the changes so quickly. Can't say I'm a big fan of the notches in the magazine tubes... you can't see how many rounds you have on any other shotgun, so not sure why it's an issue for this one. Seems like a good way to get dirt and other crap into the tube. But overall I'm impressed. As for the presenter, pretty sure he just works for Kel Tec. He showed up in a couple Shot Show videos including one he did with "nutnfancy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATtib_c_n2U

In for a case (plus some other goodies to get the free shipping). Supporting breast cancer research was an easy sell to the wife Thanks j0n

I'm famous! I'm actually on Cabelas right not trying to piece together $150 order so I can get free shipping

What Bryan said - those dry storage boxes are awesome.

The M&P 9 was the first gun I bought. It has been a great gun - I've had some minor issues with it because of stiff 10 rnd mags and crappy ammo. But now that I've switched to the 15 rounders (and stoppped using the crappy ammo) it's been rock solid. It is also one of the most comfortable guns to hold and shoot. I still prefer my Glock 19 largely because I don't think the stock trigger on the M&P 9 is anything to write home about... I find it to be "vague" for lack of a better word. I keep saying I'm gonna do the full Apex treatment on the M&P 9 but never seem to get around to it. Either way, take Troy up on his offer. I'm sure you'll walk away with a smile on your face followed up with a quick trip to your closest dealer

Well put, Shane

No I'm not

Say what you want about my NEF... it feels more solid (to me) than most "real" 870s I've held

LOL probably never... i already have enough shotguns

One thing to remember is that 590A1's don't ONLY come with ghost ring sights... you can get them with a bead sight as well as 3 dot sights. Same goes for the 870... bead, ghost ring, and if I remember correctly, there are also some 3 dot versions.

Both are good, but I voted A1 cuz that's what I have and prefer the controls on Mossbergs

I'm not really a slug guy, but I've had good luck with Federal LE Tactical Truball rifled slugs - I prefer the low recoil variety

Happy Birthday El Prezidente!

Gee... I can only imagine what you must think of me then
