That pisses me off, i'm at that mall atleast once a week. time to plaster the back of my car with pro gun and anti obama stickers. atleast that way the aholes looking at these pictures will have something to read.

Is anyone familiar with sotaarms? They have a nice 300 blackout upper for $479.99. I just need to find out if they pin the muzzle break. This comes out $200 cheaper than building it myself.

How about red loctite?

Ok, it looks like I will be putting together a 300 blackout, once I get the boses permission. This will be my first upper build and I will need some advice. Here is a shopping list I put together from midwayusa.com. I already have a complete lower, a charging handle and a delta ring: AR-Stoner Enhanced Bolt Carrier Assembly Mil-Spec AR-15 223 Remington Nickel Boron Plated $199.99 DPMS Gas Block Single Picatinny Rail AR-15, LR-308 Standard Barrel .750" Inside Diameter Aluminum Matte $28.99 DPMS Handguard Cap AR-15 .750" Inside Diameter Round Black $3.49 AR-Stoner Barrel AR-15 300 AAC Blackout (7.62x35mm) Medium Contour 1 in 8" Twist 16" Stainless Steel $219.99 DPMS Forward Assist Assembly Round AR-15, LR-308 Matte $11.99 DPMS Ejection Port Cover Assembly AR-15 Matte $11.99 AR-Stoner Upper Receiver Stripped AR-15 A3 Flat-Top Matte $74.99 AR-Stoner Gas Tube Roll Pin AR-15 Stainless Package of 2 $1.99 Yankee Hill Machine Gas Tube Carbine AR-15, LR-308 Black Plated $15.99 DPMS Barrel Nut AR-15 Matte $7.49 Magpul Handguard MOE AR-15 Carbine Length Polymer Flat Dark Earth $28.45 Troy Industries Medieval Muzzle Brake 7.62mm AR-10, DPMS LR-308 5/8"-24 Thread Matte $41.99 Any suggestions on the shopping list would be greatly appreciate, can I get some of these parts cheaper elsewhere, should I look into other manufaturers, am I missing anything? Also, as far as pinning the muzzle break. How deep should I drill into the barrel? What size pin? Does the pin have to be welded or can it be appoxied?

I am still leaning towards the beowulf, maybe it's the .50 coolness factor. AA has the upper for $690 and 335g fmj for$25 a box, which is the same price as AE 308 ammo, and they have it with an unthreaded barrel. One thing I worry about is the mags, I keep hearing that a 7 round beowulf mag can accept more than 15 rounds of .223 and that others have had problems because of this fact.

Never pinned a muzzle break before, dont want to screw up the barrel

Well the lower I already have, ready to go. I did do some searching online last night and could not find an unthreaded 300bo barrell.

Let me get this straight, the 300 blackout uses the exact same upper, bcg and mags as the .223? Only a different barrel?

As I said earlier its better to go at openning the first day, prices are lower and inventory is higher. I did also see one dealer with 10 round magpul mags for $15. As far as the armory show, last time I went I was very disappointed, very little selection and very high prices.

Got the MOE fixed carbine stock today at pa gun show for $50. Put it on my lower, LOP suprisingly is the same as my VLTOR pinned in second position, just the way I like it. I will test the lower on my .223 next time I go to the range. I might even replace my VLTOR with the fixed stock. Thanks Shawn, good advise.

yep

I also picked up a ruger 10/22 with laminated stock for $279.

Dont know about high prices, I was there at openning and picked up a 1000 round case of PMC .223 for $399. And one vendor had AE 9mm for $18.99 a box. The prices did go up later in the day. 22lr prices were very high.

I was told that the 6.8 was a dying round.

just checked, depending on the bullet the .50 beowulf muzzle energy tops out at just above 3,000 ft lbs, so I should good.

will definately look into it

that sucks, maybe 458 socom then.

I thing the new law only cover 50 BMG, but I could be wrong.

Ok folks here comes the big question. I am building up an AR rifle and will hopefully be buying an upper in the near future. I already have a .223 and want to get a fun caliber. Now, I wont be hunting or or going any precision shooting with it, I just want a fun gun. The question is .50 beowulf or 6.5 grendel. I know that its like comparing apples to watermelon but which caliber is the most fun and why? And before I get the most common answer, I cant get both, I can have only one. Thanks guys.

The NJ compliant stock on a stag is NOT a pinned adjustable stock, its only made to look like one. It is held together by an allen screw under what looks to be the adjustment lever (looks like adjustment lever but is not) and the tube has NO adjustment hotches. The good news is that it uses a carbine spring and buffer, the tube has a spacer in the back to allow for the use of a carbine spring and buffer. If you are putting on the MOE fixed carbine stock you might be able to use the existing tube but I am not 100% sure.

You guys keep living in a dream world, don't forget who is in the white house. The moment your medical records make it to a central database, as have already are, the government will use them anyway they want, legal or not. And the records are not on my doctors personal computer, the first time I saw this I asked her about it. She told me they now had to enter all medical information into a central database for the purpose of insurance filing as well as make the information available for other medical instituion that you might visit in the future, basically eliminating the need for one doctor to fax medical records to another.

It doesn't matter if you sign up for the government program. I am under my employers insurance policy and for the last 2 years my doctor no longer uses paper files, everything is online now.

Yes they do. Remember obamacare? All medical records are now in a central database.

If i'm reading this correctly, they did not add any new disqualification factors. What they are saying is to send all records to NICS which fall under the existing disqualification factors. I hope this is the case, if not then we are all screwed.

Doesn't the heller decision pretty much void this kind of crap?
