PMAG (GEN M3) won't insert with breech closed (M&P 15 Sport)
A couple things are at work here. First, AR tolerances are all over the place due to the large number of manufacturers and literally a nearly infinite combination of tolerance stackups. In order to guarantee fitting against a closed bolt in every AR, I would have to allow enough room for nearly a 16th round to slip in. If you were ham handed with it and really tried to force that 16th round, it will fit because the polymer wall of the PMAG will flex and allow it. The mag won't work but the law is written around absolute capacity, not functional capacity. If you look at a factory 30rd PMAG, it will actually take 31 and even then, it's still a fight to get it to fit against a closed bolt when the carbine is hot. Do what we free staters do and download your mags. Every class I've been in, the shooters are loading to 28 or 29 (usually 28 to keep the top round on the same side as 30) because they don't want to fight the mag when doing a tactical reload.

Any interest in 15rd Glock 17 mags?
The plan is to make them. The problem is finding them. Glock is over a year out on magazine orders right now and I can't get my hands on the host magazines to modify.

Maryland laws
They basically instituted an AWB that takes effect Oct. 1. Lower sales to MD have been through the roof for me as well as some of my dealer friends.

After a very long wait...FDE PMAGs are coming
Maybe they've changed their mind, maybe she has no idea what she's talking about. I've learned that with Magpul products, until it's in my hands, don't promise it

After a very long wait...FDE PMAGs are coming
Yeah, I'm working with my host right now. Seems a script we have running to help reduce cyberattacks is running a little wonky due to a server change.

The last I heard, Magpul has zero intention of making non-black Gen 3 mags.

Inexpensive Gun Safe at Harbor Freight
One thing to look at when evaluating safes is the gauge or thickness of the steel. Glancing at that page, I didn't see any mention of it which makes me suspect 12 gauge which can be breached with a fire axe. Safes are your last line of defense to protect your valuables. I keep more than guns in my personal safe. Irreplaceable family heirlooms which are worth more to me than any firearm. Identifying documents like birth certificates and Social Security cards. Things that if stolen can cause me more headache down the road. It's why I didn't go cheap with my personal safe and got one that weighs 1100lbs and is made of seven gauge steel. People are willing to drop $2K+ on a single rifle but look for the absolute cheapest safe to house it in and that's just mind boggling to me.

Inexpensive Gun Safe at Harbor Freight
At only 230lbs, they'll cart it off and crack it open at their leisure. I'd use one as a dummy safe...pack it full of rocks and junk then put it somewhere visible before the real safe is found and hope they spend their time hauling the dummy full of rocks off.

Is it legal to make your own lowers in NJ?
With an 80% lower, the firearm's existence is undocumented. With the long gun example, there's a record of it being made and sold. The chain of custody could break when sold private party if the seller doesn't keep the buyer's info.

Spikes Tactical Lowers $94.95ea - In Stock @ MidwestPX.com
For the most part, one is the same as the other and you're picking what rollmark you like the most. That being said, there are fine differences such as machining quality, attention to detail, proper anodizing, and other minutiae to account for. Spikes forged lowers are cut by Aero Precision and they've got making lowers dialed in pretty well. I've found that the really cheap forged lowers tend to cut corners to reduce costs. At $94.95, the Spike's lower is a good value. You're not overpaying for the name and you're getting a quality made receiver.
