Displaced Texan

It's possible that the older 6400's had semi auto bcg's, but since 2008 they come with full auto bcg's.

The MT6400 does not have a neutered BCG. I have 4 of them, all are full auto bcg's.

I'm a big fan of the (Colt)Rogers Super Stock. One of the lightest stocks for the AR-15. Good ergos, and tight lock up. Not overly expensive.

I like the BCM Mod 0's. Very easy on the wrist ,and nicely sized for my hand. I have swapped over all of AR's to this grip.

I'll second Rutgers invitation, if you shoot at SJSC, I'll be happy to let you try mine. SJSC is in Winslow NJ.

Where in NJ are you?

What are you going to do with it? Range rifle? HD rifle? Precision rifle? 3gun rifle? Zombie apocalypse rifle?? What type of trigger you select depends on what your planned use of the rifle. That being said, I use the factory Colt triggers on my rifles.

I bet you won't do that twice. Now, take High Exposures advice (it's good advice), and install it on your lower, shoot it, and forget it.

You're quite welcome.

I actually have 2 extras. TommyFeds, PM me your address too and I'll get one out to you as well.

PM me your address and I'll send you an extra I have.

I have a couple of stock front sight posts lying around. If you want one, pm me your address, and I'll pop one in the mail for you.

I've seen several coyotes in my town (Stratford) over the last couple of years, and more recently, a fox. I wouldn't be too surprised if there was a cougar in the Berlin area. Quite a bit of woods around there with a good population of game it could feed on. They can cover quite a bit of territory. Possibly this one wandered in from a less populated area (Pine Barrens). On occasion, we see big cat tracks on the ranch in Tx, but have never seen the big kitty itself. I have heard through other ranchers out there that there is a mountain lion around, some complained about losing livestock to one a few years ago. To the best of my knowledge, we haven't lost any livestock to predators, but we have Great Pyrenees with our herds, and they keep the critters away.

My favorite bolt gun is my Remington 700 is .243 Win. I inherited it from my mother, who took many whitetails with it. I have used the .243 in both bolt and semi-auto platforms, and I think the most ideal is the bolt action for this cartridge. It is inheriently very accurate, and a bolt gun will wring the most out of the .243, not to mention, being much more cost effective than a semi-auto.

Yes, you can attach a clamp on style comp to your crowned barrel. Perfectly legal, as long as it's a comp/brake, and not a flash hider, or suppressor.

No such thing as a stupid question, especially regarding firearms laws in NJ. I'll see if I can answer a few questions for you before I have to run... 1). The prohibited item in NJ is a 'flash suppressor', or' flash hider'. If the device is designed to minimize muzzle flash, than it's not legal in NJ. Brakes, and comps are legal, as long as they do not reduce flash signature. Pretty subjective. General rule of thumb, if you can fit your finger in the end of a muzzle device, then no, it's probably not legal in the state of NJ. For an idea of what I mean, check out the business end of the Battlecomp. For some reason, the site won't allow me to post a link. Google is your friend here. 2) I would say that no, you wouldn't have an issue as long as you don't have all the parts to make a functioning rifle; IE: the lower receiver. Others can chime in here, but I would imagine that would be safe. FWIW, I sent my unthreaded uppers off to Adco to thread, pin, and weld my muzzle devices. 3) 20 or 30 round mags that are perminantly blocked to accept no more than 15 rounds are legal. Buying 30 round mags and blocking them at home in the sate of NJ is a no-no. You CAN DIY, but you can't have possession of the unblocked mags in NJ. Plenty of vendors here that sell blocked mags, not worth the time to DIY if you ask me. All of my NJ legal Pmags come from Midwest PX. I like them. 4) Buy a standard, mil spec BCG. Don't worry about fancy coatings. Worry if they are made from the mil spec grade steel, and are HP/MPI tested. A well oiled, standard phosphate finished BCG will be easy to clean. No special coatings needed. 5) You can have an M4 profile barrel. NO grenade launchers. No fun allowed in NJ. I misread your question a bit. The lug you refer to is for a bayonet. That little piece of metal makes your AR into an assault rifle, according to the lawmakers of the state of NJ. Therefore, the evil bayonet lug must be removed. Another example of the brilliance of our lawmakers in Trenton. 6) Pinning an adjustable stock IS legal. You can pin the stock in any position you desire. It just cannot collapse. I think it is almost the stupidest law I have ever heard of, right behind the evil bayonet lug..... 7) Mil spec parts are designed to be interchangeable. One of my favorite rifles is a Colt MT6700 lower with a PSA 20" Govt profile upper. Works just fine, and fits perfectly. 8) I have no direct experience with Cerakoat, but I understand it will work over a clean, oil free metal surface. I'm sure others will chime in, and I'll edit as required to get my point across when I have more time. Cheers!

I DO keep my weapons fastidiously clean (I have an excuse, I'm ex Navy, raised by a former USMC Gunny...it was beaten into me at a VERY young age!!!), but the truth is, DI AR's don't NEED to be clean to run. A prime example is the 'Filthy 14'. I don't think I've ever noticed gas in the face, but I've never shot suppressed AR's, they may spit back, I don't know. My personal belief is that the proprietary nature of piston guns outweigh the small gains of piston, for MY needs. Your mileage may vary. That being said, whatever it is you prefer, get out and shoot them!!!

I get your point. Unless you are shooting prolonged full auto, or suppressed, I see no practical advantage to piston.

Weight isn't the issue I have with piston AR's.....it's the proprietary nature of them that concerns me. There is no single 'standard' like in DI AR's, and I find that to be a HUGE drawback.

I buy the BCM kits.

Mr High Exposure hit the nail on the head. Excellent advice.

My neck hurts just thinking about shooting that rifle!

Make it a Colt Delta HBAR clone.....
