Don't we say that thing here... "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"?

I guess the best comparison to look at is when AR-15s were first introduced into the Civilian Market. How much did a brand new one cost in relation to other similar rifles at the time (M-14, Rugers, etc.)? The price for ACRs will go down, there is no doubt here. It's just how quickly? The other issue here is: how long will Bushmaster/Magpul hold onto the design? If you really want to compete with the AR-15 platform, then you need multiple 'ACR Builders' and not just the one there is now. Right now, there is a monopoly on the product that will keep prices high. If the makers of the ACR want it to be huge (and possibly accepted by the military), then they need to open up production of the rifle to everyone (given that they pay reasonable royalties of some sort).

They said they don't do that kind of work anymore... Any other gun smiths in the area?

Looks like I'm gonna have to call the aforementioned gunsmith. I tried drilling the pin out, but it looks to be made of sterner stuff than the muzzle brake itself. Fucking NJ stupid Assault Weapons Ban bullshit.

I spent $450 on an 870 tactical with a 6 round tube... I want to hit myself when I see shotguns of similar quality/use for half the price. :oops:

Bad one in Illinois... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100124/ap_ ... in_kitchen

So, I can put a grenade launcher on an M1 Garand and it will still be legal?

FYI, according to lore and legend, the silver must be inherited. So it can't just be any silver.

I noticed I shoot better left handed when I am holding another gun in my right hand... is that weird?

They say it takes 4 days to break a habit. Just practice using your correct eye with correct hand for a few days. Even go pirate if you have to and poke out evil eye... or wear an eye patch. Your choice.

What does a CCW permit look like?

Problems? What kind?

Que?

Pretty soon my rifle will be similar to yours. Just ordered my YHM hooded flip up front sight/GB and YHM muzzle break with aggressive end (teeth).

How do I remove the old brake easily? I don't have many of the tools required... Dremel grind down the weld until the pin can be removed. If the brake still sticks a bit use a cut-off wheel on the dremel to split it lengthwise (Carefully of course) untill it will unscrew. Take off FSB, install new one. use a pencil to mark the barrel lenghtwise from the center of the pin hole already in the barrel to the FSB, then measure the distance from the FSB to the center of the hole. Put on the new Muzzle device, and index it with the crush washer/peel washer so it's lined up how you need it to be (if necessary.. some Devices dont need to be indexed), make a witness mark on the device with the pencil against the line you already put on the barrel, then measure up from the FSB to determine where you need to drill the brake. Remove the brake drill the hole, re-install, put in the pin, and weld over the hole. Hardest part is the welding. As posted earlier ARFCOM in the AR-15 section under "Build Your Own" has a tutorial on how to do this with Pics. Yes, the welding is what is most troublesome. I don't even know where to begin with that. As for the other stuff, I might be able to do the work at my parent's place. I need brass punches for the FSB, and I think he may have a Dremel.

I can do most of the work myself... the only thing i need is someone to put the muzzle brake back on, weld it, and pin it.

I'm looking for a gun smith who can do quality work on an AR. I recently ordered a new muzzle break and front flip sight for my STAG Model 1. I would like the stock muzzle break to be removed, the current A2 front sight/gas block removed (intact), replaced with the front flip-up sight/gas block, and a new muzzle break perm. attached. How much would such a thing cost to do?

Do you have information for this gunsmith? I need AR work done.

I honestly wish I bought a M1A Scout Squad instead of my AR. But, I guess I'll have to save up and wait.

If it doesn't have a pistol grip or bayonet lug, then a flash hider is ok.

My Christmas present... securely mounted...

I have one as well! Awesome rifle! Only beef with it is that the muzzle break is not lined up properly... doesn't affect shooting much, but it's annoying to look at.
