See this thread for a list of dealers who stock our mags: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/41414-where-to-find-midwest-px-pmags/ Like most brands, we set a minimum advertised price (MAP) and a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). Retailers are free to charge whatever they want provided they do not violate MAP in the process.

Looking like first week of March for sidechargers then a couple weeks after that for standard uppers. I expect the standard upper with lower to be in the $250 ballpark. The first run of uppers is being done generically. Subsequent batches should have our mark engraved prior to anodizing. We'll keep it subtle like our forged upper and place the mark above the charging handle where it would be covered by a BUIS.

Sort of but nothing definite. I've thought about it but am not convinced that the 5.56 market has enough demand to warrant it. The caliber just doesn't get as much benefit going from 16 to 18 the way .308 does.

Well, that wouldn't be complete then, would it? We offer barreled receivers built with our forged receiver and 4140CM 1:8 midlength barrel: http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?cPath=52_93&products_id=741

I know I built that upper but sweet baby Jesus does it look good!

I hit a distributor site to see what it would cost me to buy and he's beating my cost on most items. Amazon's pricing is interesting, to say the least. Once, they had really cheap Surefire X300U weaponlights, a good bit cheaper than what it would have cost me to buy from distributors. Same goes for some of the Magpul stuff they had. Then in a week or two, their pricing shot up to be at or near MSRP.

FYI, these are REALLY good prices. Nice job hooking this up!

Had a run on 15/20s from both retail and wholesale customers and burned through several hundred 15/20s today. We're out right now but will have more later in the week. I just sent shipments of 15/20s to Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters and JoeBobOutfitters.com so they're immediately available from dealers still.

Click to order Finally got around to getting uppers test fired and released for sale. All of our uppers are test-fired prior to being made available to ensure function before leaving our hands. As such, the uppers are a little dirty and may show minor handling marks as well as brass on the shell deflector. Some more info about the individual parts that were selected for the builds follows: Barrels The uppers released today are all built with Centurion Arms hammer forged barrels made by FN. These barrels are chambered in 5.56, have M4 feedramps, and an extra thick chrome lining for extended service life. 1:7 twist to stabilize even the heaviest/longest bullets that can be loaded to magazine length in an AR15. These barrels are finished with a milspec phosphating. Handguard Fortis REV free float handguards were chosen for these uppers because they are extremely light without compromising strength. The Key Mod system is integrated on the three and nine o'clock sides while traditional picatinny rails are at twelve and six. At the front of the handguard on both sides is a small section of picatinny rail for accessory attachment. Two rotation-limited QD sockets are on each side, one at the front and one at the rear, for a total of four QD points on the handguard. Fortis REV rails have tons of features and deliver outstanding value. Upper receiver Cerro Forge 7075 forgings are machined for us by the same machine shop that runs Troy and Ruger upper receivers then milspec hardcoat anodized. These uppers have M4 feedramps to match the barrel extensions on the Centurion Arms barrels. T-markings are laser engraved. The PX mark is also laser engraved and is on the tail end of the receiver, right over where the charging handle rests and is covered by a BUIS. BCG The heart of the upper receiver, I decided to go with our Enhanced line of BCGs which has all the features of our standard BCG (9310 MPI bolt, 8620 chrome-lined carrier, chrome-lined gas key, machined tool steel extractor, milspec phosphating) but with a Mcfarland-style one piece gas ring and a Sprinco extra power extractor spring. Both parts further enhance reliability of operation. Charging Handle This is our standard charging handle made of billet 7075 aluminum by a contract machine shop in Minnesota. If you would like to upgrade to a Rainier Arms Raptor, please contact me to make arrangements.

I honestly don't think you can go wrong between the Rainier and the WMD. May as well flip a coin. From a specifications standpoint, they're more or less identical. Each is backed by a reputable industry leader too. I believe the Rainier BCGs are also plated by WMD. If you decide to go with a WMD, I've got the their full-auto BCGs in stock right now: http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?products_id=779

I believe they'll be picking up our PMAGs too

Or build multiple in one day

So the rumor coming down through distributors is Magpul has or is discontinuing the colored Gen2/MOE PMAGs (black will stay in production) as Magpul brings M3 mags out in colors. If that happens, these FDE cut down mags will eventually disappear as inventory is depleted.

Progress? Yes. A production-ready solution? No. I'm workin' on it

Dear God...$0.08/rd for .22LR. This shortage needs to end.

I've been meaning to grab a 72 hour kit and consume it to see if it's palatable. No point in stocking up on it if I can't/won't eat it.

I believe so however CMT makes bolts for a bunch of companies including Colt. They make bolts to the customer spec.

Sounds like a bad heat treat.

One of the few places to get real deal nickel boron plating in the firearms industry is WMD Guns. Legitimate nickel boron will not flake or peel with use however electroless nickel plating can and is frequently marketed as nickel boron when it is in fact not. These are the polished full-auto profile BCGs direct from WMD! Order HERE

The head of the bolt catch pin stripped out? I can have another one sent out to you if you'd like.

I'd get a Surefire Fury and call it a day. I know the guys at EAG are running them without issue.

MKMs come in both large and small frame sizes. I really like how much the handguard overlaps the uppers. There's about an inch of overlap so the handguard is super rigid. Being a keymod design keeps the weight down without compromising on accessory placement options.

Both take the pressure of latch manipulation off the roll pin which is a common failure point with regular charging handles. The latches were redesigned with improved ergonomics as well.

Nah, the BCM ambi MSRP is $75 while the Raptor is $90. Street price on the BCM ambi is around $65-$70 while the Raptor is mid-$80s.

At least when I roll through STL, I can have a carbine in the car and a gun on my hip...
