I can proudly say I have never taken a selfie though I am confused as to how he managed to shoot himself.

My 14.5 and 16" unsuppressed guns will run 500+ with a good lubrication prior to the first round. By contrast, my suppressed 10.5 and 12.5" guns will only make it a few hundred without being re-lubed. All of these guns use phosphated BCGs, no fancy coatings/platings. My 18" SPR has a NIB BCG in it and I will say that it will run longer between lubrication intervals. I also have a couple nitrided BCGs in guns that also run longer between lubrication than their phosphated counterparts. NIB is a plating while nitriding is a surface treatment (case hardening). I suppose an argument can be made that NIB or nitrided BCGs are more reliable than phosphated ones due to being able to go longer before requiring lubrication. However, I wouldn't let that be justification for throwing out a proper PM regimen that included lubrication. In any case, a squirt of lube plus working the action several times gets the guns running again.

My FIL has one and it's an absolute tank. A very solid and dependable firearm.

Expired at midnight PST on 7/31.

After the discount, they're likely losing money when you factor in free shipping and CC fees. I won't disclose wholesale cost tiers but yeah, this is a pretty smokin' deal.

I tell myself only sugar and shit melt in the rain. Make ready and train through it.

I prefer mine with a swivel but loathe them if I forget my sandbags or rest when zeroing a rifle and I do it off the bipod. I can't tell you how many times I've fought the zeroing process only to remember my bipod is a source of variation that I need to control.

I have one of these with a 5-15x40 on a .308 AR: http://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/188/

T Bill makes a good point. I use ADM mounts and have yet to encounter a situation on an AR where their mount wasn't perfect.

These uppers were built and test fired to check function and parts compatibility. Both uppers were test fired more than normal (about 50 rounds each) and are considered used though functionally, are like new. Light handling marks are present due to additional QC both in-house as well as by an independent third party. If you would like to order one or both, please call 815.246.2715 as they are not available through the webstore.

I don't see why it would be an issue for the owner of the handgun to act as the common carrier and deliver it to an out of state FFL. For legal questions, I tend to stick to written forms of communication with the ATF. It isn't that I don't trust them but rather it seems each IOI has a different opinion/perspective so you aren't guaranteed to receive the correct information when talking to them on the phone.

Typically same or next day to ship if we already have the receiving dealer's FFL on file. Then depending on method, 2-3 business days from here to NJ.

Yep, that's what I run on one of my SBRs.

My personal opinion is canted irons make good sense when paired with mid-range variable power scopes that would be ill-suited to close range shooting. I prefer a fixed front sight and a folding rear when working with low powered variable/fixed power scopes.

Nice build. What're you thinking of building next? It's Black Rifle Disease, you can't stop at one!

My primary carry Glock is a 3rd gen G17 cut down to G19 grip length. Trijicon HD sights, polished FCG, and a Ghost connector. The hump in the grip has been shaved down a bit and it has been painstakingly stippled. Not a super aggressive stippling to prevent my shirt from catching on it but much easier to handle when wet. Oh and a strip of skate tape across the top of the slide.

I need to get some Varget and work up some hot loads for my SPR. 77gr FGMM is going transonic around 700yds and I'd really like to get my 75gr Hornady BTHP rounds supersonic out to 800. Time to look into cloning Mk262 Mod1.

I've helped a few folks on this forum build their first AR via the phone simply because there are so many questions and the complete answers are so lengthy, it's easier and faster to talk it out than type. efd162, feel free to give me a call at 815.246.2715 and I'd be happy to answer your questions or give you recommendations, even if it isn't something I stock. We're closed until Tuesday due to a family emergency but after that, I'll be back in and available to help.

I'd find that funny if I didn't see some truth in it...

$84.95 for Spike's forged lowers and $99.95 for our Gen 2 billet

SCAR 17, my SPR, and my franken build went out today for chronographing and load development.

$84.95ea right now through us and no problem shipping them to NJ.

I've used a padded VCAS for four years or so now and taken it through numerous carbine courses as well as entire days on the range outside of formal instruction. Slings are an exercise in compromise, IMO. The padded VCAS with the quick adjust tab is my favorite because I'm almost as fast transitioning shoulders with it as I am with a single point sling but without all the single point sling disadvantages and it's exceptionally comfortable.

Love it. Nearly half the cost and weight of a PRS but the same functionality.

Once you start shooting your SPR, you may be surprised at which rifle you gravitate toward. I shoot my SPR more than anything else now and I've got SBRs and machine guns. It's just so much fun to shoot and it's so accurate, it feels like cheating. If I was in a shoothouse, I'd take my SBR but other than that, my SPR has more or less become my go-to rifle. Anyhow, I now have all rifles set up to use my padded VCAS with QD swivels.
