Every defensive pistol I have has a set of HDs on them in orange. I prefer orange as it seems to be brighter to my eyes. I've heard others say they prefer yellow for the same reason so it comes down to personal preference.

You could also have Rick/OMG consign the gun for you. Or you sell it on Gunbroker, you can have Rick/OMG ship it directly to the other FFL.

Sad to hear it. I hope his health improves!

This. I've finally gotten my personal gun room sorted out and my wife saw it. "Really?" was her response. Stupid me for letting her see it!

Chrome-lined and parkerized has never failed me. Nitriding is growing on me though. For machine gun use, cheap nitride barrels resist throat erosion better than cheap chrome lined ones which is a plus for when I get into machine gun rentals. My open bolt AR project will be using a nitrided bull barrel.

That looks like a KNS perma-pin.

I keep a full BCG in my bag because it's an easy way to keep the bolt, cam pin, firing pin, and retainer in one convenient spot. I also recently added a LTG LPK after I rounded off the tip of the selector detent in my heavily-used LMT SBR.

Some are effective at reducing muzzle climb which is useful for quick follow-up shots which impact competition times (and have tactical applications). Others are purely cosmetic,IMO.

You could source some C-Products or HK steel mags and weld them. But those aren't cheap. Personally, for USGI mags, I really like Paul's solution.

Recoil of .223/5.56 is relatively tame even without a brake/comp. You can further tune it by playing with buffer weights, action spring, gas block, or a lightened carrier.

All cards, credit or debit, have a window for when you can file a chargeback. AMEX is the most liberal and aggressive though which is why I tend to put first time purchases on my AMEX as they bend over backwards to keep their members happy.

I knew things were going too smoothly. Our hardware for building mags is missing. Replacements are en route. If you had a mag order, it should go out by the end of the week as we should have the hardware in a day or two.

Machines were placed today. Computers get put back together tomorrow so we'll be able to process orders. We're still counting and placing inventory but we should be rockin' tomorrow!

I carry a CRKT Eros Ti as my dress knife. Super light, very slim profile, sharp blade, exceptionally smooth opening and closing. From one of my facebook posts when I was feeling fancy and high class...

So far, so good. We had to do some extra work as the previous tenant left a mess that we had to clean up But, inventory, supplies, and machines arrived and were unloaded safely! We're technically ahead of schedule even after spending half a day doing unforeseen (and gross) work. Haha, got another one.

Thanks, guys! I'll admit, this is pretty rough when ill. My daughter gave me a helluva bug and moving, let alone packing and lifting boxes, is painful. Can we fast forward to next week already?!

Today is our last day of business... at this location. We'll be closed for a week as we move and get re-situated. The new building is bigger and comes with the ability to do on-site live fire testing. The webstore will continue to operate and take orders but shipments won't be going out as quickly as they usually do until we get everything sorted out. I'm estimating one day to pack it all up, one day to move, one day to unpack, one day to situate, and one more day to prove out machines so we should be back to normal next week. Any questions, email or PM as I'll be able to manage those from anywhere and the phone will be going straight to voicemail during the first few days.

New Frontier has excellent customer service and a lifetime warranty. I've broken bread with the owner and he puts customers first (both wholesale and retail).

Poly lowers are a strange animal that can (but don't always) require fitting though in literally thousands of poly lowers shipped in the last 18 months, I can't say that I've ever seen one stick like that. Usually, it's things like the mag release hole that need a little filing. NFA is really good about customer support so you may want to try emailing them to see if they've seen this before and if so, what they'd suggest as a fix. I know that area was beefed up when they took over the Plum Crazy poly lowers because it was a failure point. Have you tried multiple upper receivers? Or that upper on a metal lower?

Out of curiosity, which poly lower did you use? I've sold thousands of New Frontier LW15s and haven't seen that issue before. Poly lowers aren't perfect but they certainly are nice for certain builds like a .22 plinker for a kid.

I can't speak to their 15rd offering directly but they make good mags. I have a case of 30rd mags from D&H in storage for a rainy day because I know they're awesome mags. They sit right next to the cases of Gen 2 PMAGs, Gen 3 PMAGs, and Lancer AWMs that I have stashed away for myself

Nickel boron is a good coating but can be expensive. NiB-X is WMD Guns specific while UCT does a different process with a higher boron content. Personally, I used to run phosphated BCGs exclusively. I have one NiB-X in service in my SPR and I have two nitrided BCGs in test guns. I'm modifying one to fire from an open bolt with a fixed firing pin to really abuse/test it. Nitriding is relatively inexpensive compared to nickel boron and imparts similar lubricity, corrosion resistance, and surface hardness and I think is a better value relative to nickel boron. As for 9310, it is a valid alternate material to C158 according to the current military drawing. The tricky thing about 9310 is the heat treat. The window to get it right is much smaller than C158 which is part of what makes them more expensive. The reason why we see so many 9310 bolts on the market is because some of the smaller shops making them cannot afford to buy an entire mill run of C158. But it's a good metal for the application.

How'd you know?! They offered a full auto AK but I was tough and told them no beltfed, no sale.
