MidwestPX

Odin barrels came in today so I had to get an upper built. The picture doesn't do it justice and I can't wait to get out and shoot it. These 3-Gun barrels are a great deal, IMO. $275.50 is what we sell the barrels for and they come with the gas tube and gas block along with a 1MOA or better guarantee. This one is built off a Midwest PX forged upper with a 14" Centurion CMR. BCG is a WMD Guns NiB-X full-auto BCG with a Rainier Arms Raptor charging handle. This one is my personal upper now which is why it's got an AAC flash hider to accommodate my suppressor. The concept behind this particular build is to be an SPR-type build. 18" 416 SS barrel for accuracy and slightly longer range than a 14.5 or 16" barrel but in a profile that's light enough to carry for extended periods of time. The barrel weighs less than 2.2lbs. In that vein, I chose a Centurion CMR handguard to keep weight down without compromising function. I won't lie...the CMRs are pricey but when you use one, you see where the money went. It's light but strong and has QD points for sling swivels on both sides (front and rear) as well as setup for modular accessories (available separately). If you have a castle nut spanner wrench, you can use that for the barrel nut. Anyone who's talked to me on the phone about handguards can tell you how much I hate needing special tools for handguards because you frequently have to buy them separately (there's another $20-100 depending on brand) and then if you want to work on your gun, you have to keep them around. Anyhow, I'm a big fan of the CMR even in light of it's heavier price tag relative to some other offerings.

Glad to hear you're pleased! If you use the allen head to capture the takedown spring, trim about a 1/8" to 1/4" from the spring. You'll have ample pressure on the detent and it will make installation significantly easier.

You can test the bolt and barrel extension interface pretty easily. Stand the upper on the muzzle and pull back on the charging handle. Holding the carrier, lock the charging handle to the upper and pull the carrier back as far as you can without unlocking the charging handle (basically where the rear of the key contacts the charging handle). Let go of the carrier and check to see if the bolt goes completely into battery. I've seen a handful (three or four) of our house branded bolts not play well with some barrel extensions because the extensions are tight (in-spec but on the low end of tolerance) while the bolt is on the higher end of tolerance which causes additional energy to be needed to unlock the bolt due to increased friction and can mimic short stroking. Having no experience with Satern, I think this is worth a look.

Not cycling at all or short stroking?

Not really. Making 10/20s and 10/30s is old hat for us as that's where we started. Still shipping a ton of 15s to NJ though.

Magazine manufacturing is at capacity for the next 2-3 days due to substantial spikes on both the wholesale and retail sides. This might slow down my response time to inquiries as I split time between assisting production and doing customer service. My apologies in advance for any inconvenience. As always, the best method of contact is to send email to [email protected] as the phone line has been oddly busy too. I will update when things calm down. Dealers, we will continue to accept new orders and they will be processed in the order received.

Steel isn't as elastic as brass and doesn't expand to seal the chamber as well so you get more carbon build up.

'Bout time...now shoot it!

My favorite factory rifles are made by LMT.

My guess is the IC IP. I thought Colt was nearly broke though.

These aren't the PX-branded sidecharge uppers that we're waiting on. Those will be non-reciprocating and come without a BCG but with a specially milled cam pin so the user may select what BCG they want to use.

Click to order We just received a shipment of Cross Hill Technologies side charge upper receivers! These are pretty neat and come in two models, a right hand charge, and an ambidextrous. The ambi model comes with a modified bolt catch to work with a left-side charging setup. These 7075 billet uppers also come with an 8620 nickel boron carrier and phosphated 9310 bolt. The charging handle on these is reciprocating.

Of course, on the day my wife's dog was whelped. Makes sense considering she's an evil genius. The dog, not my wife.

The upper I built with an Odin barrel and shot was easily sub-MOA when I did my part. I think you guys will be happy with them.

I met the guy behind the Multitasker at SHOT and he gave me one as a sample. It's lived in my range bag or on my belt ever since and has been quite useful.

Looks like we'll be doing some 18" uppers with Odin stainless 416 3 Gun barrels that are guaranteed to be 1MOA or better.

We just received our first shipment of Series 3 Multitaskers. This is THE multitool to have in your range bag if you have an AR15. This isn't a multitool that you can use with your AR15; this is a multitool that was designed AROUND the AR15. Build quality and materials used are uncompromising and the finished product reflects this. We have all four standard models in stock now. http://midwestpx.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=60

Haha, nice

A batch of lowers are headed to J G Firearms in Middlesex.

Just bustin' your chops a little. We may have some more variety in barreled receivers soon depending on our suppliers.

I rarely speak ill of another vendor publicly because it can come off as petty and unprofessional. That being said, I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole. Botach has enough history published on the internet that consumers should be cautious of dealing with them, IMO. They could be overstocked with authentic Trijicons and blowing them out way under cost or they could be counterfeits. I don't sell the SRS myself so I don't have any financial incentive to post such a warning. I've found that the adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is" applies quite frequently, especially in an industry that is currently experiencing a huge downturn.

I just looked and Trijicon jacked the prices up by about 25% this year. WOW! I thought they were pricey before...glad I've got a few for myself at the "old" price.

I don't like the ACOG inside of five yards. Otherwise, shooting with both eyes open isn't a problem. The biggest advantage of the Aimpoint or the SRS over the ACOG is the eye relief which makes it easier to acquire the dot when you're in a position with a less than ideal cheek weld.

I'm guessing you're wanting to try out an SRS? From a long-time full-size Aimpoint user...get the SRS. The FOV is huge and eye opening relative to a full size Aimpoint. I'm a little biased because I don't like the Micro line. *edit: swing and a miss! guessed wrong.

So far just them in NJ.
