The opinion of the board would be that it is.

No worries, Paul; I didn't take any of the comments that way. At any rate, just to clarify, I had absolutely nothing to do with this video being made or created. The customer took it upon himself to record, edit, and post it to Youtube. I just found it neat that someone decided to take a product I make and do a video review of it.

Yikes, tough crowd in here

Sent to be me by someone else, I submit the following recent Youtube video of a customer unpacking a 15/30 PMAG I made: Perhaps I'm the only one that'll find it neat since it's the first time anyone's done a video review of one of my mags

Glue doesn't work well with PMAGs as it can't bond well with the parts. The teflon additive that Magpul uses in the plastic to make it self-lubricating makes for extremely difficult bonding. A little physical shock like dropping them is usually enough to break the bonds of most adhesives. What Magpul has done though is they modified the baseplate so it's easier to rivet shut.

BATFE can only inspect your business area. They need a warrant for the rest of the house. Don't know about NJSP though.

The BATFE has no position on home-based vs. storefront. As long as you are not a prohibited person working within local laws and in it for a profit, they will issue you a license. As for audits, yes, they may audit whenever they want HOWEVER, only within the business hours you list on the application. Unannounced audits of home based FFLs seem pretty rare based on what I've seen/heard.

If you want pics of specific parts of teh lowers, let me know and I'll take some later today or this weekend.

Alright guys, I'm doing a group buy for Mega Machine MTS Uppers in both the AR15 and .308 AR flavors. These are the part numbers that are included in this buy: MTS-200: Carbine, quad rail MTS-220: Carbine, single rail MTS-300: Midlength, quad rail MTS-320: Midlength, single rail MTS-400: Riflelength, quad rail MTS-420: Riflelength, single rail MTS-4400: Riflelength, quad rail (.308) MTS-4400S: Same as above but with a .308 lower Lead time information: As of today, the MTS systems are out 3-4 weeks and the MTS-4400 is out about six weeks. $12 flat rate UPS Ground shipping, insured for full value I have Mega lower receivers in stock (billet and forged) so if you want to add one to your order, let me know and I'll give you a price. Please PM, email or call me for pricing. If you choose the latter two options, please let me know you're from NJGF. This will be run THROUGH 4/11

Both billet and forged lowers are made of 7075 (at least Megas are) however the manufacturing process of forging aligns the grain of the metal more uniformly thus making for a stronger receiver. Or so it's been explained to me.

Billet lowers are alot more expensive due to the additional machining necessary. They look great but some will argue that they're structurally weaker than their forged counterpart. I think the point is moot because AR receivers aren't really stressed. If I were in the market for a billet lower, I'd be looking for one that had additional features such as the M0510 which is the ambidextrous model.

I just found that thread you were talking about on M4C and it confirmed who I thought had started it.

Yeah, I was never one to push the "Chicken Little" BS because when you step back and think logically, it doesn't make any sense.

Get 'em while you can. With Sabre being shuttered, they had to change barrel suppliers and supply of their uppers has been spotty recently. Their new supplier probably can't keep up with their demand

I think that's a factory LWRC finish.

Not really. Just don't go crazy on them and burn through the mag completely. Don't use a power tool, do it by hand. Take a little off and check. Try to remove material evenly from both sides (if the sides are the issue).

Typically, it's an issue with the receiver. I've seen this with Essential Arms, first gen M&P15s, Aeros, and a few smaller name lowers. The solution is to typically take fine grit sandpaper and sand the PMAG down just enough to make it drop free.

I decided to put my SOT status to good use and purchased a LMT 10.5" complete SBR with a AAC M4-2000 The barebones SBR from LMT will serve as a demo however I upgraded the handguard, trigger, stock, grip, buffer, and action spring. I can never leave things alone... First range trip later this week but as long as all goes well, I'll be running this in Carbine 2 w/ EAG Tactical in two weeks then a custom LAV carbine course I'm hosting in a month.

OMB is GTG. If you have a mil/leo creds, great place for duty guns as long as you can wait.

Turns out the black milspec CTR is in stock and was delivered on Friday.

Probably better left to a gunsmith. You would want to cover the cut with something as well otherwise you're going to have bare metal exposed and that will lead to corrosion.

DD extension is up to them. I've had some backordered for awhile but no ETA. I have the LMT extension in stock and while it commands a premium, the dry film lube makes it more than worth it. Plus, if you happen to use a SOPMOD stock, it will be a nearly hydraulic fit. Black milspec CTRs will be back in stock later this week. No ETA on the T2s, unfortunately.

The lock doesn't interact with the positioning holes of the extension. It clamps down on the sides of the stock and prevents any movement of the locating pin unless more than passing force is applied to the adjustment lever. The lock does indeed play a role in the CTR locking up better than the MOE. I have demo rifles built with both and the MOEs always wiggle more than the CTRs.

The reason why most sites list the same price, $242.25 in this case, is due to Magpul's MAP policy. A dealer caught advertising for less than MAP risks their continuing to be a dealer. Prices that seem too good to be true typically are.

Strictly assembly.
