Displaced Texan

I wouldn't use anything from CMMG. I have seen too many out of spec parts from them. If I was in the market, I would buy the ACT/LPK combo from ALG Defense, should you be inclined to use that trigger.

I don't have a pic of it, but my HD rifle is a Colt 6920 with a 14.5" barrel (pinned and welded to 16", of course), and an M4 RAS. Optic is a Trijicon SRS, and a SureFire light. Stock is a Colt-Rogers Super Stok, pinned to my liking. ACT trigger. Simple, and familiar.

If like to add that the ALG ACT is a nice, smooth mil-spec, single stage trigger that breaks at 4.5 lbs. Not a competition trigger, but a reliable, smooth mil-spec trigger that won't let you down. Good price too. I have 5 of them, and I am very happy with the way they perform.

I like the ALG ACT triggers. They have a kit which includes a LPK too. http://algdefense.com/complete-lower-parts-kit-with-act-trigger.html

You're quite welcome.

This is the one I use. I have the extended version on all my 14.5" guns. https://store.ar15.com/product.html?cat=108&pr=650 Inexpensive and works.

Another politician trying to save the common people from themselves. Because we are too stupid to manage our own lives. Personally, I think it is time to hang all the politicians. Just to set an example.

The Premium line uses the FN made CHF, chrome lined barrels. I have a 20" A4 upper from them that is simply excellent. The Freedom line is generally regarded as decent. Although I do not own anything from PSA's Freedom line, I wouldn't be afraid to use it for a range gun. I have heard too many gory horror stories about the PTAC stuff. Personally, I would pass.

You can find one of the original Colt 4x carry handle scopes. I believe they are Japanese optics, pretty good quality from what I have seen. Usually a few hundred $ used. Who's upper is this? Colt, Bushmaster...???

We use NJ Cure and have had good luck with them

Smokey Mt Knife works in Seiverville and right next door is Buds Guns. They are a 'must visit' every time I'm in the area.

I used to tint Windows many years ago as a side job, Whatever you do, pay extra for a one piece rear window. Not only does it look MUCH better, it will last longer than a two piece. Most shops try to get away with doing a two piece, cause it's easier, and quicker to do. It will look like crap in very short order.

I realize that I am the token Texas redneck here, but after living in NJ for 16 years, I have never seen a package of Taylor Ham in the grocery store. I HAVE seen a lot of packages of Taylor Pork Roll. Maybe someone can tell me where I can buy a box marked Taylor Ham, so I can try that too.

I don't know much about the RMR's, but I believe you could get $250 ish for it and the mount. That puts the ACOG in the $400 territory. I would pay $400 for a TA01NSN with dead tritium. Like I say, that optic is a daytime optic anyway. ACOG glass and durability are hard to beat. If it were my $, I would find a dual illumination model. TA31, or whatever flavor you prefer. The fiber optic/tritium are, IMHO, so much better. The BAC works with these, and with a little practice, you can use it much like a red dot for quick work at short range

A couple of other clues to a real ACOG. A real ACOG will always have "Made in USA" in raised text on the left side of the optic, and well as the 'Contains Tritium' warning. It will also have "Trijicon ACOG" on the right hand side. It may have ACOG 4x32 on it, or it may have a bible verse. One of mine has the bible verse, I believe it's is my TA01NSN. All ACOGS will have the serial number on the eyepiece and on the main body, stamped into the aluminum. Obviously, the serial numbers should match. As I said before, the tritium on a TA01 or TA01NSN will be very dim. To me, it doesn't make much difference if the lamp is dead, unless you plan on using it with NVS. At the point the lit reticle is useful, it's too dark to use the optic anyway. This does not apply to the dual illumination models, as the reticle is useful through a much greater ambient light range.

The manufacture date is not on the case, although the serial number is. Even if the tritium is gone, it is still a fine optic. The crosshair illumination isn't bright in the first place, so don't expect much. You can see it in a dark room, but at that ambient light level, the optic itself isn't very useful unless you have NVS.

Maybe pull the RMR/mount and sell it. Recover some of your $$.

That appears to be a TA01NSN with the RMR. The front site post on the optic is the clue. Not that it really matters in this case. The 1/2 life of Tritium is 12 years, meaning it will loose 50% of its brightness in that time. I have several ACOGS, including a TA01NSN, and I wouldn't consider it a nighttime optic at all. The tritium lights up the reticle slightly in low light conditions, but it's hardly useful at night. Have always considered ACOGS as a daytime optic that would be useful at dusk, at best. If it's a good price, buy it. Personally, I would give no more than $700 for that combo, not knowing the history, and not having it in my hands to check out. Maybe less. I will add to this that I do not like the ACOG/RMR combo. Kind of awkward for me to use. If I want a combo of a red dot/ACOG, I will use a TA31F dual illuminated reticles and use the BAC. It works rather well.

Or gigging frogs. Damn!

I can actually HEAR your arteries hardning from eatin that...

Training, that's why. I have been using the AR for over 30 years, and never had a need for a gadget like that. If it works for you, cool, but it is not for me.

Eloquently said, HE. I love the BCM (Mod 0 for me, please) on my carbines, but didn't care for it on my A4. Swapped that one back to the A2 grip.

Maybe you should change your name to 'Barney'.

You sir, owe me a new keyboard. Lmao!!!

That's funny. That's what I jokingly tell my wife when she smarts off to me. I have 750 acres of land, a shovel, and a gun. No one will hear you scream. She usually answers that with a one finger salute.
