Ahh, did not realize you needed a gas block height sight. Neither DD nor LMT makes one, sorry!

LMT and Daniel Defense are my preferred ones with the nod to the LMT due to it coming with an oversized knob which makes installing and removal without a screwdriver possible.

For a build like that, hope he's getting a SPR/M4 rather than the M4-2K that the current flash hider is meant to work with.

Fixed front sight post with a red dot is my preferred setup. With a magnifier, the post will not obscure your FOV. What I like most is in the event of optic failure, as long as your optic mounted to co-witness with the front sight post, you can use the dead optic as an enlarged rear peep, saving you the time of deploying the BUIS should time be critical.

It felt right for this build. I like the ACS for .308s and 16" barrel rifles, the CTR/MOE for SBRs and the STR for everything between the two.

A mix of boredom, the MTS now being out of production, and having a 14.5" CHF barrel laying around. Now to find an optic for it.

Since budget hasn't been mentioned, I'll just throw out the best low power variable optic I've used and it's the Nightforce 1-4. The reticle is actually useful at all reasonable engagement distances, glass is super clear and of course, it's tough as any other NF optic. The only problem is it's not cheap. I would have suggested a Trijicon TR24 however I have seen too many of them fail in light rain to be able to do so. The 1.5-5 Leupold is on one of my midlength 16" rifles and I find it's a pretty good optic however my gripe with it is battery life as well as the IR not working outside in the sunshine.

For that much money, you'd think they could spring for a midlength or rifle length gas system...

I load pistol mags to full capacity. Rifle mags are downloaded by two though. Even though PMAGs can take 31, they're still a PITA to execute a tactical reload with during drills. I download to 28 instead of 29 because it keeps the top round on the same side as a full 30rd mag.

It pretty much ships when it ships. The industry itself is seeing record demand and the AR platform is probably the most popular so there are shortages in just about every component category. Stag could very well have been experiencing one shortage after another, delaying shipment of your upper. It's even worse for manufacturers that are supplying militaries because those contracts take precedence over commercial orders and if they get a sudden/unforeseen military order, commercial lead times get longer.

I'm the opposite side of that coin. My SBRs all have a fixed front sight post because in the event of optic failure (very low probability but has been known to occur w/ Aimpoints), I can use the bottom third of the optic with the front sight post and still make reasonable hits without deploying a folding rear sight.

Yep. And the Calguns Foundation is gearing up to beat it back as the ridiculous garbage excuse of legislation that it is.

Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters in Robbinsville is the newest stocking dealer for the limited capacity PMAGs I make. They should be getting their first order of mags early next week!

Could have happened during an audit. IOI looks over the 4473, sees two dozen plus lowers on the same 4473, makes a note to follow up with the end user.

Fellow NJGF-sponsoring vendor East Brunswick Sportsman is now a stocking dealer for the limited capacity PMAGs manufactured by Midwest PX.

Those who are ordering mags from the NJGF store, please direct your order follow-up inquires to Maksim. He orders mags from me and resells them like any other dealer.

Piston systems are inherently more expensive than their DI counterparts. If you want lightweight, the best place to remove weight is the barrel. A lightweight profile sheds a good bit of weight however has a bigger impact on the overall perceived weight of the rifle. I'm not sure if anyone is making a system for lightweight barrels that can be purchased separately of a complete upper though.

I number the baseplates of my magazines. I train with them all and if there is a mag related malfunction, it gets marked as "TRAINING ONLY" mag. After I get home, the mags that worked fine get reloaded with defensive ammunition. That being said, Murphy's Law is indiscriminate and seeing as a semi-auto is a paperweight without a working magazine, I keep a spare mag with every semi-auto. I carry a spare pistol mag when I'm out and about not for the capacity but for if my mag craps the bed. The chances of one mag that worked flawlessly going down when I need it most is unlikely, two going down would be Fate out to get you.

Springs wear as they are compressed and decompressed..the change of state is what induces wear. Staying compressed or staying decompressed doesn't matter. Think about a paperclip. Straighten one leg of the clip out and keep bending it back and forth...eventually it breaks. Same holds for springs.

Best reply in thread. +1 LOL

Looks like a FSC556 with prongs. Things that make you go, "huh?"...

Sorry about the foliage stubbys, folks. I have more coming in on Friday and I'll get them out to Maks as soon as possible.

GA Precision, builders of some of the most accurate precision rifles, will be stocking limited capacity PMAGs made by yours truly! I'll be delivering their first order tomorrow so if you're in need of mags, they are another option in the growing list of dealers stocking the PMAGs that I make.

Call and talk to Terry, the owner. My safe is 1100 pounds of Sturdy and Terry actually talked me out of a couple upgrades because even for commercial purposes, he said they'd be overkill.

Technically, lock the bolt to the rear, insert mag, release bolt
