BOOMSTICK

I figures since everyone seems to be hyping up Giselle triggers, why not get opinions on Timney. I REALLY dig the look of Timney's skeletonized trigger. Does anyone have/use Timney drop in systems?

Cool guy to deal with. Transaction could not have went any smoother. I appreciate the meet up.

So TRUE!

How often do these come into stock? I'm going to be shopping for an upper soon and this one seems good. Is there anything out there that's similar to this upper that's priced just as good....if not better?

I checked these out yesterday after receiving an email from them. Think these are worth it? I wonder what the extent of the "blemishes" are.

Yes... thanks for this. Good info.

See my PM?

What would you consider the next step up from the Sport?

As some of you might know, I have shown interest in the M&P 15 Sport due to it being in my price range of $600 - $700. If I was to raise my budget up to $700 - $800, would I be able to get a decent AR for that in Jersey? WITHOUT BUILDING. 1) What could I buy new? 2) At that price, should I just ask the forum for a used one?

Thanks for all of the replies. I just found out that the shops near me only sell the M&P 15 Sport without any muzzelbrake. So I guess that that would solve the problem by allowing me to just slide the site off and get a low profile block instead of chopping it.

Which I am assuming won't fit over a low profile block?

I was thinking of taking the handguard from carbine to middy. Not sure yet. It would give me the option to free float as well, correct?

I have my mind on the M&P Sport and I was looking at the limitations of upgrades (as it sells). One of which is the front site that really limits selections of handguards of different sizes/styles. I'm not a big fan of the A2 style sight to begin with. It would seem that the only way of removing these and putting a low profile gas block on is to also remove the muzzle break (another PITA) to slide the sight off. How difficult would it be to cut/grind the tower down to make it a low profile gas block?? First off, it would be free to do and I could use aftermarket flip sights for both back and front. Plus the thought of the sight being in view of any optics I would use would drive me nuts. I think it is amazing how cheap you can turn a low budget priced AR like the Sport into a higher end with just a few cheap parts. EDIT: I just found this tutorial a little over half way down but it is with the sight removed. Has anyone ever done this with the sight on the barrel? http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_4/226782_.html

It doesnt seem like a cheaply made magazine materials wise. Warning though, I think it was $8.99.

Yeah, that's the one. Did you pick it up?

I was at Acme in Browns Mills and like always, I look to see if there are any new gun magazines to pick up. I sift through the section at the top where all the gun mags are and just shrug my shoulders knowing that I already had them. As I turn the shopping cart, I see at the bottom of the rack, a magazine called "Recoil". It's the premier issue. I glanced through it and saw that it was very well put together and had a crap load of info about AR's and some handguns. Some decent "how-to" articles. One of which was on how not to lose the detent spring when changing buffers/stocks. It even had a free fold out target in the center to rip out. Has anyone else checked it out??

I've shot a 9mm out of a wrist rocket before.

Don't forget to try out the S&W M&P 9 !! I love my FS.

No... They have a clue. They just go wherever gets money handed to them.

I had to read that twice twice.

Congrats on the purchase! Great looking rifle. Looking forward to a range report. What scope did they sell it with? I have been doing some reading up on this recently as I make the move into AR Land. If I was you, I would stick to the .223 for that rifle to avoid a "KABOOM".

I would like to see an internal high speed camera shot of one being fired.

As good as it sounds, I'm kind of happy that I can't do full auto. I can only imagine the amount of money that would be spent on more ammo. My home range (Range14) does not allow more than 2 shot bursts anyways.

Thanks for the link. I sent him a PM.

Cheyenne on 130 has been good to me. I have only been there for handguns in the past and never even looked at the AR selection they had. As for you being a sucker for some stuff...I will bump the two threads up to the top (yet again). Also, are there any sites that ship "NJ compliant" AR uppers/lowers/items?
