Big Bore AR Mags - Legal?
There was one option out there with a modified follower and feedlips. Basically, there was no way to load the smaller cased 5.56 because the feedlips were too far apart and would not allow the rounds to stack and stay in the mag. They were very expensive but I do recall seeing them. I just don't remember who makes/made them.

doctors asking children about parents and firearms
My wife is a physician finishing up her internal medicine and pediatrics residencies. She's required to ask about firearms in the house by her hospital. The AMA is also quite anti-gun. The medical field in general is anti-gun. I've had some interesting discussions at her work functions when people find out what I do for a living

Brownell's barrel
Niehter Noveske nor Rainier cut their own barrels but rather brand the barrels they have coming from an OEM. Same as me and my line of barrels that are in the works.

.45acp KB
How many times had that piece been reloaded? My FIL who taught me to reload sorts his brass by number of times fired and discards straight walled pistol brass after 8 or 9 loadings even if they look fine.

Weapon Light vs Weapon Light/Laser?
i actually just got a Viridian X5L to try out on my HD M&P Pro. The reason why I decided to give it a go is because with the suppressor on it, you have to shoot through the can and while I'm reasonably accurate at typical HD engagement scenario ranges, I am curious if the laser will make me faster on target as well as more accurate.

AR not loading the 1st round using the charging handle
The standard way to make ready is to lock the bolt to the rear. There are very times when you should have to load against a closed bolt, a tactical reload being one of them. If you're worried about deploying it in a HD scenario, store the rifle with the bolt locked back or with a round chambered (unless that's against local law, can't say I'm 100% up on how firearms are allowed to be store in the house in NJ).

AR not loading the 1st round using the charging handle
Lock the bolt to the rear, insert mag, hit bolt release. Do not slingshot the charging handle because most of the time, people don't pull it back far enough or they accidentally (and unknowingly) ride it forward. This is also the prescribed process for making ready in the manual of arms for the AR platform.

first build - lower quality ?
Steve is good people. That's pre-panic pricing for those. MAP on the M0200 is $124 while MSRP is $130 and that's the first time since Sandy Hook that I've seen a Mega lower for less than MSRP. Rainier is also good people. I've met John Hwang and many of the guys that work there and have nothing but good things to say about them.

first build - lower quality ?
I've had some Anderson's come through as transfers. Not impressed. Poorly packaged for one (came direct from Anderson) and they also left a couple burrs on the lowers.

Problem with Stripped lower
It isn't. Low shelf lower with select fire markings has no bearing on legality. I could have "Safe", one dildo, and multiple dildos engraved on my lowers for the FCG positions and it wouldn't make any difference from "Safe" "Fire" and "Auto". Though it certainly would be more memorable. As long as it doesn't have that sear pin drilled in it... I'd like to ask that FFL what he thinks about the legality of M16 BCGs...

Pricing negotiable?
Generally, markup on new guns is really not that great to begin with. Guns that are in high demand, like the XDS 9mm, likely won't be discounted because of supply and demand. Some guns like the XDS 9mm, you will see in your LGS for more than MSRP due to scarcity of supply and the LGS knows someone will pay it while maintaining the necessary inventory turns.

Sling attachment basics
If you get a castle nut wrench, be sure to get one that engages multiple notches on the nut, not just one. I've deformed a few castle nuts, mostly on DPMS and Bushmaster rifles, engaging just one notch because the metal the nut is made of is softer (read: cheap).
