x2, already have another 1k of 5.56 headed my way, prob gonna grab a few thousand .22, and 1k of .38/.357

Pretty good deal right now for brass cased .223 http://www.natchezss...23A&src=tpSlrHm

Lots of good reading here ---> http://ammo.ar15.com/project/Self_Defense_Ammo_FAQ/index.htm

Would be my guess too, saw the M&P logo at the end of the vid and thats the first thing that came to mind

Looks good, 16" barrel? It must be the pic but, it looks like its 20" long, or Im just so used to seeing my 14.5" midlength. Either way it looks nice, now go hurry up and stock up on ammo and go shoot it.

Damn, I was hoping they had the SU-16ca for that price too.

Sweet, Ill prob be in for a few

PSA 14.7" midlength - $468 w/ pinned YHM brake (all you'd have to do is grind the bayo lug) http://palmettostate...d-mp-upper.html OR PSA 14.7" carbine length - $468 w/ pinned YHM brake (all you'd have to do is grind the bayo lug) http://palmettostate...ined-upper.html (add $20 to either of the above for Magpul MOE handguards) AND PSA basic lower build kit - $100 (have to pin the stock) http://palmettostate...-build-kit.html OR PSA Magpul MOE build kit $140 (have to pin the stock) http://palmettostate...-build-kit.html Then just add a stripped lower and rear sight/optic of your choice Or if you want to spend more money get a BCM Pick one of these http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR15-Upper-Receiver-Groups-s/1.htm?searching=Y&sort=11&cat=1&show=200&page=1 And one of these http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-Bolt-Carrier-Group-MPI-Auto-M16-p/bcm%20bolt%20carrier%20group%20auto%20mp.htm Then get one of PSAs lower build kits, a stripped lower, and a rear sight/optic.

I know you said you want to split the expense up, but for that money you can buy a complete DD rifle. edit. and $240 for a High Standard lower without the stock???

The website for the XD-s says its 21.5oz not 29oz http://xdspistol.com/specs.php

I order mine right from Midwest PX http://midwestpx.com...ex.php?cPath=15 I like the stubby pmags. And dont forget about the ones PK90 sells http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/25503-wts-15-round-ar-15-magazines/

MSRP on the all black one is $599, the stainless slide one is $669 edit: They are obviously out of stock, but Buds has them listed for $509 & $561 http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=xds+93345

I have a Dynacomp on my 14.5" mid, I like it, it keeps the muzzle jump to a minimum and the muzzle blast from it isnt as harsh as other brakes. But dont expect and kind of flash suppresion with it, like you would get with a battle comp or fsc556.

Apocalypse Man

x2, the 10x has a FOV of almost double that of the 16x (13ft vs 7ft), so it all comes down to what your planning on using it for.

Like everyone else said they are legal

Finally borrowed a camera and took some decent pics Spikes 14.5" midlength lightweight upper w/ pinned and welded Dynacomp Surplus Ammo & Arms lower w/ PSA lower build kit Noveske qd endplate Magpul everything Primary Arms Microdot on ADM qd mount Midwest PX 15rd "stubby" Pmags

Yep right to your door, nothing like the look on the UPS guys face when he has to bring 3k+ rounds to your door

IMO its not worth the extra money. Buy a regular parts kit and then if you want a better trigger check out these http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_124/561855_ALG_Defense_Introduces_2_Mil_Spec_Style_Triggers___Tuned_by_Geissele.html The spikes is just a coated trigger the ALG triggers are tuned by Geissele and the ACT is tuned and coated.

Theres plenty of 75-77gr ammo out there that works just fine in AR mags. Hornady, Black Hills, Federal, Nosler, Prvi Partisan all make 75-77gr .223/5.56. And like Shocker said some military/special forces use mk262 in thier rifles which uses a 77gr Sierra Matchking bullet. A 1/7 will shoot 55gr just as good as 1/9 will, now if you want to shoot lighter varmint (<50gr) rounds then the 1/9 will be better, but if you want to shoot the 70gr and up stuff then your gonna want the 1/7. But for common .223/5.56 ammo (55-62gr) either twist will work just fine.

Yep just drive the roll pin out and pull the bumper off.

I use the spikes t-2 that came with my 14.5" mid upper, and so far its had no problems with any ammo Ive tried, everything from wolf to xm855.. Ive also used a regular carbine buffer in it, and noticed it feels slightly smoother, and slightly less recoil using the t-2 over the carbine, but nothing to write home about. Carbine - 3.0 oz H - 3.8 oz H2 - 4.6 oz H3 - 5.4 oz Spikes T2 - 4.3 oz And with a carbine and a H3 you can make any of the H buffers yourself just by swapping the tungsten and steel weights around Carbine = 3 steel H = 2 steel, 1 tungsten H2 = 1 steel, 2 tungsten H3 = 3 tungsten

Shame you cant do this to it here in jersey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvF4yurWSc0
