Displaced Texan

Lol!! You don't know the 1/2 of it!!!

I have about 100 of the Midwest PX modified Pmags. 100% reliable.

Here lately I've been carrying an Ontario Joe Pardue Utilitac II. I continue to be impressed with this knife. In fact, I bought 2 more, one for my hunting kit, and another for my buddy, who sorely needs a EDC knife. $30 on Amazon. Incredible knife for the $.

The best marine is a SUBMARINE!! Former fast boat sailor. ET1/SS

I won't use anything but Pelican for airline travel. I think I'm up to 6 now....they multiply like AR's. Mine have taken unspeakable abuse at the hands of airline baggage handlers, and me, with absolutely NO damage to a rifle. I even knocked one down a full flight of stairs (my bad), with an optic equipped AR-15 inside...didn't even lose zero. They take a beating and protect whatever it is you stuff inside them. A 1750 sounds like what you need. I bought my last Pelican, a 1720, on Amazon for $189,

These make liberals cry, therefore I MUST have several....

Nice rig!

I'd say just a description is fine....anyone who knows anything about AR-15's is going to take one look at that and know right away the issue.

WOW!!!! How the HELL did that make it out of the factory without the FSB being pinned?

If you can find a Daniel Defense LPK I would use that. Fancy coatings on the BCG are, IMHO, not needed. A standard phosphate finished, mil-spec BCG will serve you just fine. Home trigger job??? I wouldn't. A mil-spec trigger will smooth out nicely after a thousand rounds or so. If you feel you need a better trigger, there are a plethora of drop in aftermarket triggers to use.

I remember seeing that when we went to SJSC. Who is going to do the work to replace them?

As I said previously, it's perfectly normal. Just for verification purposes, I pulled 4 rifles out of the safe and tested all of them. All 4 (Colts) bolts dropped when the stock was impacted. High Exposure has the mechanics correct , the inertia of the impact takes the tension off the bolt catch, and the bolt rides forward.

Totally normal.

16" for 7.62mm. You lucky dog!

I have heard he does good work, but is very slow. I have a good deal of personal experience with Adco Firearms, and would HIGHLY recommend them for AR-15 work. www.Adcofirearms.com

Maybe 1/4". Trust me, if you want to shorten the stock, you'll need to change the buffer tube. I have 4 of these.

They are not glued. The buffer tube isn't a standard carbine buffer tube. It is longer. Once you unpin the stock and shorten it, the buffer tube will stick out the end of the stock. My advice is to replace the buffer tube and pin the stock to the new tube.

I remember him using the phrase," steaming pile of crap", and a few choice cuss words while referring to his MMR. Can't recall why he hated it so much. He has since bought a Daniel Defense rifle, he doesn't cuss any more.

I don't have personal experience with the MMR, but one of the guys I work with has one. He expressed displeasure with it, but I don't recall what his issues were. For the same price point, the S&W is a pretty good carbine for the money.

My Colt AR's aint the prettiest girls at the prom, but I know they will dance with me every time I want them to.

It's pretty neat, however, as Sgt. Toadette pointed out, proprietary parts are a huge issue. What happens if the mfg goes belly up? The second question that remains is, what problem does it solve for you (and for the weapons system)? If you want to have multiple calibers, why not just switch uppers? Push 2 pins and you're done. Seems much simpler, and much more cost effective. Why is it better than either an AR or an AK? Just food for thought. Edited to add information.

If you're going to build, my advice would be to forget the beer and note taking, and go to the range with someone who has an AR or two, and shoot them. Find out what works for you before you build. AR's are easy to build and customize to your particular tastes, but if you're going to 'build the rifle you want', it helps to know if what you want IS actually what you want....follow me? If you're in SNJ, I am a member of SJSC and would be happy to allow you to try mine to get some ideas.

Merry Christmas from Texas, y'all. Have a wonderful, and prosperous New Year!

The Colt Match Targets are harder to find than the 6920/6940's. They are also more expensive. If I had to do it again I would buy the 6920/6940's and make them ban compliant. Probably wind up a few dollars cheaper.
