The only issue is durability. Try stacking those plastic cans and then have a plane take a hard landing, or a can drop off a truck...etc. aluminum might be an option but it's not gonna be light enough and be durable.

FFS this shit again.

A smart gun company should use this opportunity to ask Baraka if the city of Newark would like to use its technology... We'll see how quick he shuts up.

The ones I can't afford, because I can't afford them.

The upper is offered in 1:8 SS, that would be a winning combo. My first rifle is an RRA and just make sure the bolt is staked well and your GTG. IMO if you want to shoot at ranges a 20" would justify, your going to want to get a barrel that in known for good accuracy. The RRA also has they wylde which will shoot .223 better than most 5.56 chambers.

The AD mounts my red dot, The PERP holds a scope. I would buy both of them again, rating is pretty even.

PERP is good, I use that one too.

The American defense isn't even that expensive. The high end mounts are $200+, and yes, you get what you pay for. You certainly pay for something that requires zero tolerances. Precision machining cost money. I have an AD mount and it is worth the price, good value.

My steel plates weigh roughly 6.5lbs EA which is fine by me considering the entire package costed me around $500. They offer an advanced cut that is just over 5lbs, but why sacrifice plate surface for a pound? I wouldnt put the Ar500 lvl III+ plates in the same category as normal steel plates. What ever they did to them saves weight and increases stopping power. I have definitely researched enough pros and cons for all the materials used for plates these days and HE is right,you will always sacrifice some aspect. Even the ceramic plates are more bulky. You can find durable and light plates, but they literally cost over 500 bucks per plate. This is just an around the house SHTF bug in prep for the zombies when they come knocking. If I was an LEO I would be spending the coin, but chances are this will never see any action, but I have it if I need it.

I was going for a minimalist set up but didnt even think about all the noise velcro makes, better not be hiding when you have to reload.

Oh nooo nooo, i was referring to shooting this thing from the hip.. I cant imagine a sig brace doing your arm and shoulder any favors I still dont see it meeting the requirement of "extending below the line of the bore", since they put in "the line" it indicates that anything deviating from the line below the bore is OK. I don't think that's stretching it, i think they were a little too specific in their statements.

Im not sure if he picked up on that but I still think this would be worse on your shoulder.

Technically its the charging handle.....

5.5 vs 19 Billion acquisition, seems to indicate its much bigger.

Good luck! Hopefully you get to harvest something worth the trouble.

Damn gonna have to close my Cabela's card now, it was nice earning bucks and saving them for good sales days. If the sales dry up I wouldn't buy anything from them.

I'm a relatively small build so I skipped the side plates. Besides, the vest is already around 25 pounds loaded. But afaik these are the best plates you can get unless you get ceramics/composite. The fact I don't have to worry about damaging the plates is what sold me on them. The banshee is also great for smaller framed individuals, very compact minimalist carrier. I think it also helps you keep the weight down by only giving room for the essentials. Unlike many other vests that provide much more room for tacticool stuff. This carrier is literally only the size of the plates. Other than my 2 pistol mag pouch up front, i'm gonna add a med pack and tourniquet. And put in the hydration camel back. Hopefully i will be at 30pounds when done. Which is less weight than i carry when hunting. Not to mention my pistol will be on my belt. After long heavy hikes, weight it always in the back of ur mind.

AR500 level lII+ lightweights ACS cut with paxcon buildup.

I personally like the Nikon BDC, and use one in my Monarch 2.5-10. Their online calculator makes hold overs at different distances very easy.. Personally for range use, I think most of these reticles are over kill because you can adjust them to zero for what ever distance you target is. I believe the mil-dot offers the best when it comes to gauging distances using objects in the field.

Got my plates a few weeks ago and finally picked up a Carrier. the new banshee carrier 2.0 is pretty sweet with comfort and functionality. I can fit an extra rifle magazine and 2 pistol mags on each side of the cummerbund with comfort. You can fit many more but they start to crowed out your pit area. I was sent the wrong double pistol mag pouch that i plan to put next to the multi-tool pouch. I threw the knife in the front pocket just to see how it looks, but it's actually pretty convenient.. The vest gives me 5 rifle and 2 pistol mags of easy access, with an addition of 4 pistol mags tucked in the cummerbund ( i can reach by hand but its tireing to get them out). ALL in a very low profile vest.

45% of my posts are questions about firearms, 45% of my posts are answering questions about firearms, and 10% is probably a mixture of leisure and politics. In many instances its simple educational conversation. You probably think i don't have anything of importance or intellectual value because you don't participate in any of the parts of this forum to which is its purpose. I don't see you in the hunting forum, ammunition forum, rifle or pistol discussions, general firearm discussion, optics and gear, or anywhere really that has anything to do with firearms. 95% of your posts are politics and the 5% that isn't, aren't even on topic. FYI, when i started coming to this forum, discussions of political nature weren't even allowed.. You wouldn't even be here today if it was the same forum back in 2010. If your going to attack MY activity on this forum, your generally pissing on every member here.... For someone who doesnt know anything about "gaming" i'm not sure how you could even determine what level of quality my statements carry. It might be a novel idea to you, but people invest a lot of time here learning and teaching about firearms. Your just the type of person who has to make sure people hear your opinions, which is apparent when someone asked a simple question about updating their gaming console where your response is basically: i have better things to do, but let me not seem to much like a dick so i will post some of the benefits people tell me about. If you don't enjoy gaming, good for you, other people do and they don't need to justify anything. Where as my opinion was some perspective into PC's and the general decrease in benefit of owning a console today. Even when im not talking about firearms here, its still an effort to participate in conversation with people trying to have a conversation about the topic. People read books for the same stimulation it offers the imagination and creativity of an individual.... ANY activity is a break from mundane life of which is not part of your mundane life. What does it matter to you what people do to get relief or cope with what amounts to boring life activities.

Why did you even waste your time writing this in a thread about console updates that turned into a PC war?

Jesus, what are you buying a dell?

It just blows my mind people waste money on consoles, they even made them to be just like PC's with all the stupid crap they come loaded with.. but.... your stuck with it, with very little to upgrade. A console is a PC by todays standards, your just stuck with a "locked" piece of hardware. In the end, when you buy a console, you get an outdated cpu and gpu that wasn't even all that great to start... I haven't looked at the newer versions, but it's worth noting that its probably not something you need to buy if you own a previous gen. Even the xbox360 when updated was basically the same thing with some issues ironed out, and the ps3 just got smaller. If you have one, save your money for a worthwile upgrade.... with PC capable VR im just waiting for something to corner the market.
