Check the Troy Claymore 5.56: https://troyind.com/products/claymore-muzzle-brake-556

Pretty interesting article on barrel length: http://www.sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=1093

Yes. It will be between an absolute and lower 1/3 cowitness if you leave it in the factory QRP mount.

That's a great price!

This^^ The TDP doesn't just specify dimensions and tolerances, it also specifies manufacturing processes, testing protocols and materials used. While the TDP is certainly not the end all be all of the AR world, companies that meet or exceed the TDP certainly produce more reliable product/parts than companies that skimp or take shortcuts in my experience. For a long time Colt was all there was in the quality AR market. Now with Noveske, Knights, LMT, BCM, Daniel Defense and a few others there are many more quality options to choose from that meet or surpass the TDP. DD makes a great product. A little expensive and I have seen a few of their by carriers shit the bed, but on the whole, they are quality. LWRC also makes a good product from what I have seen. I have taken a few classes with shooters running them and have met their head Armorer. Quality product, no corners cut - but still have piston issues, I have seen a few disintegrate on the line. LWRC and HK are the only companies I would buy from if I was in the market for a piston gun.... Which I'm not - just so we are clear DPMS I avoid at all costs. Allegedly the .308 rifles are GTG but I have no experience with them.

Colt is a much better choice than Stag, Windham, Olympic Arms, Bushmaster, Rock River. S&W is great value, but I would spend a little extra and upgrade from the Sport. Between the S&W and Colt, I would take a Colt.

I like the Safariland ones too. I mount one to a Safariland UBL and run that as my emergency reload pouch on my duty rig. It works great. For regular belt carry (not duty type belt) I really like the CompTac. Easy and fast on and off the belt, good retention, smooth draw, low profile. Winner all around. I had the BladeTech, and while the pouch itself is adequate, I did not like the Tek-Lok attachment for my purposes.

I got one recently. I like it - low profile, lightweight, good switchology, bright with a good throw and usable spill. I am a fan. I'll post some comparison pics with a SF Fury 500, Fury 1000 and X300U.

Very little the Izzys do is relevant to CONUS Use of Force, especially their TTPs for gun fighting.

This is so true. I have the hardest time telling people this. A magnified optic will make you see better, it will not make you shoot better. If you can't shoot, all a scope will help you do is see your misses. The first group (minus the flyer) isn't much bigger than the second group. Plus, he could just as easily have had a flyer on the second group.

SKD makes good gear and that sling looks well thought out. I also think that VTAC makes an add-on for their sling that does the same thing in a slightly different way. I have no experience with either so that's all I got. ETA: Here ya go, the VTAC version -

Keeping it wet is more important than keeping it clean.

It's a Mega Monolithic Upper. They don't make them like that anymore.

Most shooters that I know that have this issue find it easier to shoot long guns lefty and handguns righty.

Bastard :rofl:

They did the same to me last year. I tried to explain that I wanted it for an 870 build. No dice.... It's their policy. I'm not going to be mad at them for following it, whether I like to it or not.

^^^ agreed 100% The juice ain't worth the squeeze.... Or the jail time.

I have seen/heard this a few times and it confuses me each time. This is a software issue, not a hardware one. Just sayin'.... Good luck on the hunt for a new rifle. My vote is for an AR pattern rifle.

Oh man! You are so mean..... Very nicely done Ty! Looking forward to seeing the PDW stock as well.
