This is correct. We dealers have to buy two Sigs to get the free 1911-22.

We're supposed to see 12-14" on Tuesday. *sigh*

Unfortunately not. The machine shop that is making them has the programming locked in. They're cutting metal now and sending the first batch out to anodizing soon. And while pricing is not set in stone yet, it's expected to be in the $225 range for the upper, non-reciprocating charging handle and cam pin.

It'll be the upper only initially. Even with staff, we're at capacity right now for in-house assembled products due to physical space constraints. After we move, we'll have more hands to help out and more floorspace to work and will start rolling out more complete uppers which we'll be able to test fire on site rather than load up and head to a local range.

Slickside on the sidecharge so no dust cover or forward assist. The non-reciprocating handle will pull double duty as a forward assist if needed. Hoping to have them shipped to me in the next 2-3 weeks. Standard billet upper should have port cover and forward assist though.

I love this. Having it on the wall at shoulder height makes so much sense to me. Small children can't get to it easily and if you need it, you don't need to crouch down to retrieve it.

A statement that bold seems like it might have been a way out for the judge to rule the way the majority wanted without upsetting them but setting the ruling up to be thrown out in appeals. A smart move if he's a pro-2A judge who wants to get reelected?

Yes, one standard billet upper and one sidecharging upper that will be able to use any BCG with a provided, specially-milled cam pin. We'll also have the cam pins available separately so people can have spares. The biggest issue people have with sidecharging uppers and piston uppers is the lack of replacement parts. I really like this design because replacement parts will be available and they'll be much cheaper than a specialized carrier. Too cold to know. Polar vortex has shut down all test firing so it'll have to wait for spring.

I wish you the best but they've been banned from arfcom as well as another forum I sponsor for incredibly poor CS. Their CS rep actually posted very snide and condescending remarks on a public forum without addressing the CS issues that had spawn the threads in the first place.

Yep, my forged upper on my billet lower. I had put this component list together on another forum so quick copy/paste job: Lower Lower: Midwest PX Premium 7075 Billet Lower LPK: Midwest PX LTG LPK Trigger: Hiperfire 24C Stock: Magpul UBR Grip: Magpul MOE+ Upper Upper: Midwest PX Forged Upper BCG: Midwest PX Enhanced BCG Barrel: 16" Centurion Arms Cold Hammer Forged Barrel Handguard: 12" Fortis REV Charging Handle: Rainier Arms Raptor Sights: Front MBUS Pro, Rear MBUS Pro

There are a few things to watch for with those generic kits: 1. Where are they made? 2. How are they made? Forged or extruded extensions? 3. How are they threaded? Rolled or cut? 4. What are they made of? 6061 or 7075? We have a US-made house-branded receiver extension kit for $34.95: http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_102&products_id=740 Our extensions are extruded 6061 with rolled threads. Not as strong as a forged 7075 extension like the LMTs but the LMTs are also $45 for just the extension. In my experience and opinion, the threading is the critical factor when it comes to impact strength. Rolled threads have much more surface area interaction with the receiver and as a result, are stronger and less likely to fail when mortaring to clear a bolt override malfunction.

Nope, I have no skin in the game. I'm a realist though. The ATF has given me arbitrary direction in the past and like NJ FFLs, I answer to them so I can relate to what a NJ FFL is dealing with when the NJSP gives them arbitrary direction. Do you follow it to ensure you will continue to keep your doors open or do you defy it and push the envelope, risking the wrath of the governing body who can arbitrarily shut you down? I can appreciate people coming from the perspective of it should be fought on principle but you have to remember that even if the FFL is in the right, they're risking lost income, loss of license, time in court, and possibly time in prison.

That's an incredibly easy position for you to take when it isn't your paycheck and future on the line, isn't it?

I'd say it's easier to transition from a single stage to a two stage than vice versa. When you go from a two stage to a single stage, you have to recondition yourself to no longer expect that stop (end of first stage, beginning of second stage) and pull through it.

I think it's unfair for those talking about boycotting to consider such an action against an FFL if they have been told by the NJSP that they need to keep a separate bound book for a certain class of firearm. Keep in mind that NJSP has the power to shut FFLs down. That's a person's livelihood at stake. If the FFL has employees, those are paychecks at stake and additional homes depending on that FFL to put food on the table. The FFL isn't the bad guy here if all they're doing is complying with NJSP's mandate of keeping a separate bound book. Should it be obtained in writing? Absolutely. But to boycott an FFL who has received verbal direction from the governing body seems a bit unfair and extreme. I understand that it's a slippery slope and an unnerving precedent if true however FFLs don't make the rules but we do have to follow them or risk our livelihood and possibly freedom.

Two stage is beneficial if you want to "prep" your trigger rather than pull straight through. I used to be a two-stage only shooter but have since transitioned to single stage triggers. I find that a single stage without creep and a super crisp break is a better general purpose trigger that doesn't sacrifice precision once you learn the trigger.

They're both excellent manufacturers. I wouldn't sweat any perceived difference. Trade if the BCM has a different feature set that you want but it's not worth trading just so you can say you have a BCM rather than a DD.

I have no skin in the game but the description of that BCG makes it sound like the bolt is also made from 8620 which you really don't want.

That depends. 15/30s are better for training as they give you more magazine surface area to work with when extracting from magazine pouches. You can cut foam and pack the bottom of your pouches and run 15/20s however you won't have as much to grab onto when the magazine is in the rifle. 15/20s and the cutdown 15 work better from a bench than the 15/30.

Both are good triggers. However, the SD-E is a two stage while the 24E is a single stage. Big difference right off the bat. Both have zero creep, a mark of a good trigger. The 24E can be tuned by the user to different pull weights by swapping out the provided springs. The reset on the 24E feels shorter to me. Both are geared toward precision shooting and I think the biggest factor is going to be if you want a single stage or a two stage trigger.

PMAGs are made of fiberglass-reinforced polymer aka plastic

I stock both but I personally like the Raptor more. Something about the latch shape...
