If you used the medium weight springs, it should be right around 3lbs. The SSA-E is 3.5lbs total between the two stages whereas the Hiperfires are all single stage triggers. My SPR uses the 24E with the middle pull as well.

It's not just you...I've had multiple Luth buyers contact me about how their guns don't cycle after installing the stock. I may amend the product description with something about that little screw.

Don't forget to use the shorter screw that came with the Luth rather than the screw that came with the extension kit!

No kiddin'. I'm waiting for Black Friday to see if SWFA does their Black Friday/Tax Day sale again on those. They were 20% off of 1-6 last time...at $800, it's a steal.

It counts with me! I've heard similar from a number of customers and it's because we take pride in everything we do down to the little things like packaging.

I've been looking at the SWFA 1-6 for mine. It seems to be the best value but not cheap out on quality. With a true 1x and an EOTech-like reticle, I don't feel I'd need a secondary RDS. If I had the disposable cash for it, I'd spring for a 1-8 March though...

Eh...ATF could deny the Form 1s pretty easily (justified or not). Or they can reverse their position (as they've been known to do in the past). I don't think new machineguns made on a Form 1 will be popping up any time soon.

My personal preference is for the ladder covers as they're lower profile.

If you used a torque wrench, I doubt anything happened but you might as well test this just in case. Remove the handguard and barrel nut. With the barrel in the receiver, see if there's any lateral wiggle between the indexing pin in the extension and the slot in the receiver. If there is, when it's torqued down, your barrel may be getting deflected just slightly. I've seen this happen on a Bushmaster before.

I'm guessing his barrel nut worked itself loose and the entire barrel assembly was wiggling a little.

Barrel nut torque should have been between 35 and 65 foot pounds, ideally. Up to 85 foot pounds if absolutely necessary to align the barrel nut though more risks damaging the receiver. As for your front sight moving, that depends. If your handguard is a free float design, it's possible for it to move relative to the barrel if you're putting stress on either the barrel or the handguard. But that's not a manufacturer's fault but rather a pitfall of a free float rail-mounted front sight. If your front sight was pinned to the barrel, yeah, you have a problem.

There are in excess of 1M PMAGs owned by the various branches of the US military. Drawing them from supply is spotty though. At one point last year, the military came out and said only magazines with NSNs in the current manual of arms were allowed to be used because soldiers were buying subpar mags like Thermolds and Tapcos thinking they were just as good as a PMAG. Some units use PMAGs exclusively while others forbid their use outright.

Not really. I personally dislike the 40rd PMAGs. Monopodding off one is a PITA.

The military doesn't field 20rd mags in nearly the same quantity as 30rd. The platform was first introduced with 20rd mags but those have been mostly phased out. I find that it's easier to do it with a 30rd body. I hold my mags like a beer can so a 30rd body gives me more contact area with the magazine.

Push-pull with a 30rd body is easier than a 20rd body. That alone would be reason for me to use a 15/30 over a 15/20.

Thanks! And it came in just in time as UPS picked it up a little while later so already on the way to you.

See the second post in this thread: http://wethearmed.com/activism-and-gun-politics/atf-widening-its-net/ Seems they're just renewing the multiple form currently in use by border states.

Dated Apr 15, 2014 as a new proposal. I think this would be for everyone.

I built a rifle once in Foliage. My wife saw it and said it looked like Exorcist puke green. While I don't feel quite that strongly about it, she did get a chuckle out of me.

Those uppers were a screaming deal. And the Stealth Gray is so much better than the Foliage Green it replaced.

Thanks for the order!

Nice builds! I love seeing PX lowers built up!

I figured a country aligned with the UN such as Ukraine would likely have a similar armament. It made more sense for them to have a locally produced variant than importing. So a lucky guess

I'd build a rifle on any of the first three. And with a little shameless self-promotion, we have milspec uppers for $94.95. They come from the same machine shop as used by Troy and Ruger.

*ahem* Called it
