Because the Troy rail deletes the ring while the Larue seats inside the delta ring but on a propreitary nut

No prob. When I saw the thread, I thought, "hmm, is this the guy I talked to?"

It doesn't help that to cycle reliably, 5.56 has to be supersonic. It's a bad round to try to suppress but a suppressor does do a fair bit of work nonetheless. The centerfire rifle round to suppress is 300BLK, IMO. .45 is my preferred pistol caliber to suppress as that big slow chunk of lead is subsonic no matter how hot you load it. And then there's .22 shorts. Those are truly movie quiet.

That's what someone said once at range day. I took the can off my 10.5" SBR and shot it once. Set off a car alarm in the parking lot. Everyone was shocked at how much work the can was doing after that.

In the coming weeks, I should have branded billet lowers (not blems) at the $120 range. My benchmark for quality is Mega Arms and so far, the product that I've seen from this source is running neck and neck with them as far as machining and overall finish. I won't pass judgement until my lowers are in hand but I have no reason to expect this source will fail me.

I really wouldn't put a can on a 5.56 barrel shorter than 10" anyway. Most manufacturers won't warranty a can on such a setup because the bullet may not be completely stabilized as it enters the can which can/will induce baffle strikes.

I sent a case of PMAGs one year to some EOD guys at FOB FENTY. That was an interesting one...

Since when have gun laws made sense?

I believe Rocksett too. I've had my suppressors up that high as evidenced by the SCARmor finish burning off (full auto does amazing things to gun parts) and the Rocksett held. It's water soluble though and if you dunk it in water overnight, it breaks down.

When it comes to permanently attached muzzle devices, the rule to follow is the ATF's guideline where they specifically stipulate silver solder as being adequate

SBRs excel when a can is put on them. Even the smallest AAC 5.56 can adds nearly 3" in OAL and that one just takes the edge off. It's still a wicked loud report indoors. The M4-2K is probably the way to go if working indoors as it is much more effective however adds 5" to OAL, bringing a 10.5" SBR to about the length of a 16" barrel. Running an SBR without a can indoors is not fun at all, especially when working with a team as it plays havoc with communication.

If it's google adsense that's offering the banners, google probably tied your search to your IP then when the banner request referenced your IP, Google targeted a search-specific ad.

It's like ammo. Keep it cool, dry, and out of sunlight when stored and it'll be fine for quite some time. Oh and don't drop it if you have hard plates.

Everything in that link was IIIA so it won't stop a rifle round. A standalone level 4 which will stop AP .308 weighs about 15lbs for both front and back plates. 9lbs for handgun only seems heavy to me?

2-3 years, isn't it? I prefer Celox as it doesn't cause burns the way QC did/does. Not sure if they reformulated to take care of that. Works great through. One of my dogs ripped a nail off between the boards on the deck and had a gusher of a wound. We wrapped his foot with some gauze (the kind that only sticks to itself) packed with Celox and it stopped his bleeding pretty quickly.

Always have multiple ways to purify water. Two is one, one is none really applies to water purification. Bleach, Polar Pure, various filtration units...it helps to have a little of everything when it comes to water and fire, IMO. You can get huge quantities of cheap bleach at Costco or Sam's and a little goes a long way when purifying water. For those storing bottled water, make sure the plastic is BPA-free. You don't want that leeching into the water while it's stored. Costco used to have these awesome boxes of water. Six, one gallon jugs made of BPA-free plastic in an easy to carry yet solidly constructed cardboard box. Had I known they were going to discontinue it, I would have bought every pallet since it's so easy to stack and store while taking up a pretty minimal footprint.

This is dangerous. I have to work hard to keep my inner prepper contained...

Check out your local Mormon cannery http://providentliving.org/self-reliance/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations?lang=eng I don't think you have to be a member but can trade labor for canned food.

That's federal. Wearing body armor while committing a crime enhances the charge.

Unless you're going to train with plates, don't bother with them. It may not seem like alot but even lightweight ceramic standalone level 4 plates come in around 15lbs which is pretty heavy and unless you're used to having them on, when you need them, they'll probably do more harm than good.

Someone find the pics of my beat to hell suppressor that I posted...that'll make you feel muuuuuuch better

Brownells makes a punch for it but I prefer to use a Geissele gas block roll pin starter. Flip it around and use the other end to drive the roll pin in. It's the perfect length and the end is rounded, making it a lot harder to mar the lower if it slips.

Normal with the USGI trigger. Some aftermarket triggers are redesigned to prevent this.

Just different ways to cycle the action. Piston fans like that you don't blow back a ton of carbon and crap into the receiver. However, pistons have their own set of problems like carrier tilt, added weight, higher price tag, and lack of interchangeable/standardized parts. I like piston driven actions when using a suppressor but my primary suppressed carbine is a DI gun with a gas vent replacing the forward assist.
