IMR or Hodgdon? I had 48lbs of H4895 come in from a backorder I placed in February. I hope to see more H4895 since what I received will only load the components I currently have on hand.

Chinese hack of OPM...also got the machine gun registry
Democracies last only as long as it takes for the voting populace to think they can vote free stuff for themselves. Then they implode with ugly results.

Obama's plan. The end result being a weakened, impotent, "changed" America.

buying a stripped lower
I thought it was illegal for a non-licensee to finish an 80% lower in NJ?

I've always liked 9x25. Good addition!

Complete uppers
Still in business. The debacle was basically the ATF filing for permanent forfeiture of the receivers in question.

300aac build not cycling properly...Help
You can always open up the buffer and remove a weight or two as well.

300aac build not cycling properly...Help
I'd go as light as possible on the buffer and if you have an adjustable gas block, open it up completely.

300aac build not cycling properly...Help
Try different ammo. 300BLK can be picky about what will and won't cycle. It was designed to be suppressed so the extra backpressure generated by the can is sometimes necessary to cycle certain setups. Gas port sizing is also of critical importance. I would contact the manufacturer of the barrel to find out what they recommend for ammo. Sub vs. supersonic ammo is also a factor so it's best to find out directly from the OEM what they speced for the barrel. Also, what buffer weight are you using? You might want to go lighter. It would also be worth checking to see if it's short stroking (I suspect it is). To check for this, load one round in a mag and shoot. If the bolt doesn't lock to the rear, it's short stroking and needs more gas or less mass to cycle.

Kydex ccw holster for glock 19 suggestions
My OWB holster for my M&Ps and Glocks are Spadas by Peters Custom Holsters. Greg's a great guy, can really drive a gun, and he makes a top notch product.

Kydex ccw holster for glock 19 suggestions
I carry mine one of two ways, depending on how I'm dressed. I use either an MTAC or a Raven VG2 lanyard.

A little close to home
http://thegazette.com/subject/news/police-called-to-coral-ridge-mall-for-possible-shots-fired-20150612 I take my daughter to that mall as it's where the Children's Museum is. It's about 45 minutes from my house. The spot where the shooting took place is within eyesight of the Museum. The Museum and mall are both "gun free" zones. I've always carried concealed anyway precisely because of incidents like this. It's the first I've heard of happening at that mall and I've been going to it since it was built about 20 years ago. But this is a stark reminder that bad people can and will do bad things anywhere. I also asked myself what would I have done if we were there and I came to the conclusion that I would have drawn my pistol and gotten my family to safety. I wouldn't have gone looking for the bad guy. My license to carry isn't a hero permit. My responsibility is to my family and to ensure their safety so that means getting them to the car and getting the hell outta Dodge, not looking to engage an active shooter(s) with a handgun while they get out un-escorted. I could certainly escort my family to the safety of the vehicle, retrieve my .308 AR which is my vehicle carbine and gone looking for the shooter(s) but that's Hollywood bullshit and liable to get me killed if LE sees me with a carbine since there's no way for them to know I'm not the shooter. I'm a civilian interested in defending myself, I'll leave engaging an active shooter(s) to guys who get paid to do that. I train to fight with a gun. This event will drive me to train harder because my family may depend on it some day.

To Vacuum Seal Ammo Or Not?
I considered doing it but decided against it. I didn't want to buy a second sealer to dedicate to ammo. It's also a bit more of a hassle compared to the traditional method of throwing the ammo in a can with a dessicant pack.

Which aimpoint
I don't like Micros but on a heavy rifle like an M1A, I'd say get a H1/T1 to reduce the added weight. I personally prefer full size tubes so most of my Aimpoints are M2s or Pros. I do have a couple T1s but one is on a shotgun and the other is on the AM15 .22 MG.

Gerber Short Stack AR Tool
Neat but I don't keep anything in my grips. In fact, I pull the bottom plate out because I've had a few rattle before. I thought the bolt/firing pin grip core was a neat idea until it kept falling out. I do keep a Series 3 in a pouch or in my range bag though.
