You have no idea how fun it is to shoot. It's a literal blast...

Yes

For .30 a round I'm going with regular ammo cuz with FM you get stuff like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/37e5by/my_recent_experience_with_freedom_munitions_223/ http://mossbergowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/freedom-munitions-9mm-ammunition-warning.12203/#post-161895 http://www.xdtalk.com/threads/failure-with-freedom-munitions.266853/ To me it's not worth a couple cents savings to risk a gun blowing up in my face. If I'm really worried about the cost, I'll go with Steel cased ammo - I'd still rather shoot that than FM.

Here's how mine looks now.....

MY BIL says:

I'll check with my Brother-In-Law. He's active duty Air Force and just got back from deployment.

I stand corrected. I tend to lump the POF and Bushmaster Carbon-15's together but I didn't know about the OA-98...

9mm or .45? I looked at LuckyGunner's test - worked just fine there...

Not sure what's surprising about the test?

Yeah the Extar has a proprietary Bolt Carrier/Buffer system that's completely encapsulated in the upper. You can't switch it out for a standard bolt. The only other NJ Legal AR pistol is the Carbon 15 which has a proprietary bolt/buffer/Spring too.

Under 50oz, No barrel shroud. No threaded barrel.

Would need a P2P... and you would most likely need to get a polymer lower to save on weight so you don't hit the 50oz mark. Either that just get an Extar EXP556 and be done with it

Lol - Sorry for derailing the thread, sroc112

Heh - That Fudd comment was directed more at Bob anyway. Keep going with the suggestions - I might change my mind about the kydex preference.

Agreed - it looks like that holster there was not kept well... And yes, I did kinda make a blanket statement... You fudds have more experience with leather than I do

While I do have a couple of SERPA holsters for my Px4, not all kydex holsters are "serpa style". The push button retention is Level 2 retention on the SERPA. I have 2 Comp-Tac holsters for my M&P 9L that use passive retention and hold the gun in just fine for USPSA/IDPA/3Gun use. Same with my Blade-Tech for my S&W 686 Revolver. For Concealed Carry, I use a Hybrid Kydex/Leather holster. The leather part is what contacts my body which keeps it more comfortable, while the kydex part holds the gun with passive retention. You will need to tailor your holster choice to what you're doing with the gun - there's no one size fits all type holsters.... well, there are but they're just bad holsters.

Leather holsters wear down and can become unsafe. http://www.itstactical.com/warcom/firearms/safety-warning-worn-leather-holsters-can-cause-accidental-discharges/ You may want to go with a Kydex/Leather hybrid holster. Alien Gear makes a good holster. http://aliengearholsters.com/holsters/sig-p229.html FYI - You may want to search for P229 holsters as the M11-A1 is essentially a Sig P229 without the rail.

Maybe that's why they're so cheap? Old stock?

GMW16 code will take 5% off

28" is a standard field barrel - if you're shooting clays it's good. Don't really want shorter than 22-24" for actual field use.

They're pump action so anything goes. No capacity limits - only standard federal length limits. Newer Remington 870s can have QC issues. I personally prefer Mossberg over Remington in terms of pump SG. If price is a factor, look to the Mossberg Maverick 88. Shares most of the same parts as the Mossberg 500. You can get different length barrels as well. Most standard field barrels are 28" and home defense barrels are 18.5".

Website says through the month of June - 2 days left... Maybe give 'em a call?
