Well my OCD finally kicked in, I figured that an Anderson lower and MI upper are not the right fit for this rifle so I paid a visit to Steve at Monmouth Arms and picked up a matching Spikes Tactical set. I know, i'm going a little overboard on this but, it's the OCD. Also, put in an order for a 20" BA Premium rifle length barrel with cross pinned lo-pro block, being delivered on Friday. The extra 2 inches and 7 ozs don't really bother me too much since this will be mostly a bench gun. But on the bright side I have 2 Anderson lowers and 2 MI uppers on hand to build a few SHTF guns in the near future .

I ordered the rainier barrel last night. Now I just have to wait.

Vtssupply has it for $239, i think i just might pull the trigger today

any thoughts on this barrel? https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-223-wylde-barrel-spr-rifle-18-rock-creek-blank

The reason i want the 1:8 is so i can shoot 55gr also

Thanks guys, will go with 18"

OK, so the profile designation being out of the way: 2 barrels, similar barrel profiles .223 wylde rifle gas system .750 gas block 1:8 twist same manufacturer and most likely same blank 18" vs 20", advantages/disadvantages? edit: I am aware of the weight disadvantage, the 20" weighs 7ozs more

Ok folks, next question what are the differences between an 18" SPR profile barrel and a 20" DMR profile barrel? Both are rifle length gas tubes, both .223 wylde, and both 1:8 twist.

As soon as my older son finishes HS i'm moving to PA, but i need to wait 3 more years. For me it's harder to give up my job since i would be giving up a pension and unvested stock. But my commute would not change if i moved to northern PA, 60 miles north or 60 miles east makes no difference to me.

Let me know how you like it. I am seriously considering a BA barrel for my SPR build, that is the last piece I need. Don't know how much of a budget barrel it is, BA was bought out by aero precision last year and they make all aero barrels.

Your 1st amendment rights are NOW infringing on the everyone here. Does that mean that you need training to be able to speak???

Well, just came back from oaks, what a waste of time. Vlad, thanks for the offer but pink isn't my color

So how is this any different then what I was saying? I said that the "I WILL NOT COMPLY" strategy is BS and there were only have 3 choices, MOVE, neuter, or sell. And everyone jumped on my case. So ok, I missed 1, move your guns out of state. But let's not forget that which ever of the 4 choices you make, YOU ARE COMPLYING!

And that is the reason that I say for me it's not worth the risk, not for this particular legislation. If I didn't have kids then my views would be different.

If I could move them out of state then I would, but as I stated earlier I have no where out of state to move them.

I don't mind getting arrested, what I do mind is being prosecuted, spending money on legal fees, and possibly going to prison.

Hiding a gun to me is the same as not having it. For me at least, a hidden gun is a useless gun. I would rather comply then not use, because most modifications can be reversed.

I would honestly be interested in how to easily strip it. I tried with my AK and was not successful.

Exactly, and from previous 2A protests that have occurred, and not only in NJ, there were never enough people involved to make it overwhelming for them to arrest everyone. And that is why I have my current opinion. If we ever get ten thousand people to protest at the same time with Non-compliant weapons then i'm in. But until then, like you say, it's not worth the gamble.

So, your not willing to get arrested either huh? At least i'm honest about it!

I tried this with my AK, didn't work out too well for me, maybe others have had better results. In my opinion cerakote is the best option.

I'm actually thinking of changing the the grip, not crazy about that gap between the beaver tail and the lower. Maybe i'll pick up a hogue or ergo at Oaks tomorrow.

Why don't we all be honest with ourselves here. For those who say "I WON'T COMPLY, I WILL STAND UP AND FIGHT", answer these questions: - Will you go to the range with your non-compliant gun? - Will you go to a competition with your non-compliant gun? - Will you march on Trenton with your non-compliant gun? - Or will you bury your non-compliant gun in your backyard? If you are burying your gun, or hiding it any other way, then you are not fighting and are full of BS. If you are doing one of the first 3 than my hats off to you, you have bigger balls than I.

My original comment was not about moving or "common sense" gun laws or the AWB. To use your own tactics, you are changing the subject like a good liberal. My original comment was about people saying "I WILL NOT COMPLY", and the implications of doing so. And if you take a close look my first choice was TO MOVE!!!

Wow, I didn't know my words carried so much weight, I'm flattered. But seriously, if you want to move that is your choice and nothing I or anyone else says should change that. And I have a pretty strong feeling that you made that decision without my help, and I wish the best for you no matter what you choose to do. Unfortunately not all of us can move for various reasons and some of us are not willing to take on a battle where the consequences severely outweigh the gains. I am not willing to be the test case, if you do that is your prerogative. So yes, this particular battle is not worth going to jail over and spending money on legal fees. I did what I could, I sent letters, sent in donations, and voted in every election, so there is absolutely no way you can say that I didn't fight. The next battle will be weighed on it's own merits.
