Not exactly my cup of tea... but still impressive. I'd love to see the 500-1000 yard accuracy results of a SOCOM-16 with this frame. If accuracy is not effected... then this would be my cup of tea

Excellent advice. Glocks require about 2 drops of lubricant.

Here's the error. Problem solved.

At first I hated it... But the more I look at it, it's very Evil Superman. Now I love it.

Why did this yuppy douchebag get the Sig? Huh? This mix-up is a dream come true for all of us. Instead Captain of the Starbucks Latte crowd gets a beautiful, expensive rifle and calls the cops to impound it. Grrrrrr!

Mine first build cost me about $700, little over. Then I began the modding process... http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28457-dttuners-battle-ar-556-17-build/page__fromsearch__1

Interesting. Mine look completely different. Where is the block on yours? The block on mine sits underneath the spring.

I own several. Post a pic.

You see the orange line, but only because the spring is compressed so much, and the line shows through the very top of the window. What I'm trying to tell the OP is that it's pointless to spend the extra $$$ on windowed PMAGs in Jersey. That's all.

The windows won't "work" in NJ-legal configuration. When the mag is internally blocked to reduce capacity to NJ-legal 15 rounds, the block itself covers almost the entire pmag window. The only thing you'd see through the window is the block, and the bottom of the magazine spring. No rounds will be visible.

Son-of-a.... I just picked-up a carbine 14.5". This is more expensive, but it's mid-length and has that sweet free-float quadrail. ....FFFFFuuudge.

I don't get it. I was expecting/hoping for a nice write-up on what makes a combat shotgun, and why. Not an entire website dedicated to a sales pitch. B.S. !!!

Damn!

Before shooting russian steel ammo, I never realized just how much of a difference quality ammunition could make in accuracy. I honestly thought that the uber expensive "match grade" stuff was for olympic competitors and masochist "sub-moa" types. Then, I spent a half day shooting Tula steel ammo. It was the second time I took my AR out to the range, and really the first time I was paying attention to my groups (trying to zero an optic). My shots were all over the place. It was discouraging. Finally, for the last 50 rounds or so, I switched to XM193 55gr. (out of my 1:7 twist barrel). The results were immediately obvious. It was surprising to a steel-cased ammo virgin.

This article brings up a few good points I wasn't thinking about. When discussing "steel ammo" I really should have been specific in saying "Cheap Russian surplus steel ammo." I'm sure the US military can make some pretty sweet steel ammunition. Plus, I didn't realize what a big weight savings you could get from going steel cased. Nice.

Good job! I was expecting some desert camo debauchery Looks fantastic.

I'll be there. The wife is away on business that weekend

+10000000 for that guy. Just... awesome.

SPF to jsmit

I read that he took money from a grant he was given.

Agreed. And for the record I never said it was horrific. Just not what I'd do, or recommend. All I know is the steel case stuff I've shot through my AR made a significant impact on my internals. An impact which was not there previously, while shooting brass. On a side note, while shooting steel, my groups were all over the place. Completely inconsistent and inaccurate. As soon as I went back to brass, my groups tightened back up to 2-3" groups at 100 yards. For me, personally, the money saved on ammo is not worth the damage to my rifle. That's just me.

Smooth operator. Easy transaction. Thanks John!

Here you go. This is a close-up picture of the BCG on my old FS2000. Only about 30-40 rounds through, since I had to rack the bolt after every round since the damn steel wouldn't cycle out of the mag. This was after I stripped and cleaned it best I could. The rifle was factory new, before these rounds were fired. Notice the copper shavings all over? They're out of focus, in the background, but they are there. It was like they were embedded into the BSG. It took me a lot of time and elbow grease to clean them out of the bolt face. Even then, I couldn't get them all. In addition, the feed ramps had what I describe as "scuffs" on them from the steel casings. (no picture) Pissed my off to no end.
