I had drinks with the Ian, the owner of KVP and designer of the KVP linear comp. He said he designed it to redirect the gasses and concussion downrange however flash suppression and muzzle rise were not specifically targeted for reduction in his design.

It's basically a super light trigger with a super short reset that shoots when you move your finger. So the faster you can move your finger, the fast it fires. If you want something more like a select-fire experience, the slidefire stock would be better, IMO.

So having checked out the AK mag a bit more, at this time, I won't be cutting them down. I have a few ideas to run down after I get back and caught up but I'm not promising a cut down AK mag.

Lots of chatter about this trigger at SHOT...mostly negative from what I'm hearing.

A Redi-Mag/Mod is so much faster than pouch extraction. Having the next mag on the gun and it releasing at the same time as when you drop the expended mag makes reloads stupid fast.

You aren't weird at all. All of my mags are loaded to 28 rounds because I don't want to fight my carbine on a tactical reload. Every serious student I have trained with downloads their magazines.

I don't think so but I won't rule it out until I have them in-hand. The reason why I'm skeptical is even though they're labeled as an MOE PMAG, from the pictures I've seen, they have M3 enhancements including a floorplate that needs a track in the magazine body rather than a ridge.

We'll probably only do 2 acres for a garden and three for an orchard. We both have full time jobs so we have to keep it somewhat manageable but that should be more than enough for our family as far as food goes. I want to maintain a good bit of timber as the land has a ton of game to hunt.

Wasn't planning on it since our blocked mags aren't designed to work with the dust covers and people would likely be upset about paying another $1-$1.50 for something they can't use.

Nada for us. We're moving in September so there's no point to loading up more stuff that we'll just have to pick up and move. We're sitting pretty for what I consider to be the most likely short term issues so I'm not concerned. Once we move, everything we do will revolve around self-sufficiency, not necessarily prepping. We have 40 acres of isolated timber to work with so we'll be clearing trees to put in a large garden as well as orchard. We'll have 500 gallon rain barrels in series to help offset our water bill though we hope to dig out the spring fed pond that's silted in as well as have a number of pumps installed to tap the aquifer.

I did something similar with a pair of 30s but that was simple as I just had to take two baseplates, drill two holes in them and pass a "chicago" screw threw. Purely a range toy since it imparts all kinds of bad habits. Pretty neat seeing a 15rd x2 version though. That one took a good bit more work than mine so kudos! edit: come to think of it, you could do what I did with the 30s with the cut down 15s I make.

DD LPKs are hard to keep in stock due to scarcity but they're pricey. I'm down to my last one at $99 as of this post. Agreed on the BCG and trigger comments 100%.

Now available: http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?products_id=832 These are designed to load against a closed bolt fully loaded since making ready with the AK47 requires it. Based on reports from testers, owners of Inter Ordnance AK47s may need to "fit" the magazine to the magwell simply the inserting and extracting. This is not due to the modifications made by us but rather tolerance issues between the rifle and the magazine. Testers reported that Inter Ordnance rifles required "fitting" with factory-fresh, unmodified PMAGs. When the host magazines are released, we should have some from the first shipment. We'll work on a limited capacity design immediately. Now leave me alone!

Orders will still be processed online through the webstore however will not start shipping until Jan. 20. Email inquires will be addressed sporadically through the week as time permits.

The BCM KMR looks like a homerun on paper. I was wondering when someone would change the conversation from aluminum to AlMg with handguards the way it was done with Mag Tactical and lower receivers. Too bad I don't deal in more BCM stuff since they're extremely selective of who can carry their full line. I hope RSR is able to pick up the rail.

I'd ask Aero first what plating thickness they machined that lower for before you apply any coatings. Stack-up is a SOB.

Thanks for the nice review! As for BCM vs. Mega, charging handles of all kinds fail given enough use. I've seen them bend as well as latches break at the roll pin. The BCM Gunfighter and Rainier Arms Raptor both were redesigned/upgraded to take the stress off the roll pin and more or less eliminate it as a failure point. But given enough use, even those premium, re-designed charging handles will fail because the long part of the handle will eventually bend. It's just a function of how metal fatigues. Like most parts on the rifle, charging handles are a consumable item.

Sold out already.

They hired some anti-gun people to work for their training division. Fired them after the public backlash but they've burned a ton of goodwill within the community.

While supplies last, we will be offering a free Midwest PX AR15 LTG (Less Trigger Group) LPK for each Geissele trigger purchased! Please visit http://www.MidwestPX.com to place your order. We will not be taking backorders so once a trigger is out of stock, the promotion ends for that trigger. All Geissele triggers are also eligible for free shipping! This deal does not apply to ALG Defense triggers. How do you get it the free LTG LPK? It's simple...just order an in-stock Geissele trigger and we'll include the LTG LPK with your shipment. Can't make it any easier than that!

They're lower profile when folded than any other metal sight I've used which is nice for use with optics like scopes and ACOGs where the rear portion of the optic sits over the rear sight. They're not terribly expensive either.

No. Rebuild kits had/have multiple legitimate uses such as building limited cap mags, repairing legally owned pre-ban mags, and for use when out of state. The CA AG even put it in writing that they were legal because of those uses.

44mag, Copes, and exilemachine were sued by SF for selling rebuild kits. Which were obviously legal since the state had to pass AB48 to make them illegal during the last legislative session.

Yep, on page two. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/61845-any-interest-in-a-true-15rd-pmag/page-2?p=794033#entry794033

My good buddy JoeBob has them in stock: http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Spike_s_Tactical_Lower_Multi_Forged_Honey_Badge_p/sp-stls020.htm
