Looking for a quality free float rail for that new build? 9.5" extended free float rail for carbine length gas systems for ~ $130.00 off. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/395479/daniel-defense-m4-95-fsp-free-float-tube-handguard-quad-rail-ar-15-extended-carbine-length-aluminum-black Keep in mind that this is a one piece FF rail that will require disassembly of the barrel, FSB, and muzzle break. If you have a pinned break and a standard FSB then this may not work for your needs.

We use the Federal T223L TRU 64gr SP as duty ammo in our long guns. It is good stuff - accurate, low flash/low smoke, does well through intermediate barriers, and expands well.

Sorry, fat fingered the "h". What were you shooting? As in what ammo. Some ammo, like most LEO Duty offerings, have flash reducers in the powder while some ammo, like most training/cheaper ammo doesn't.

Keep in mind, ammo plays a pretty big role in the presence or lack of flash. What where you shooting?

Sounds like a fun day, I am bummed I missed it. I need to get out and shoot a match, it has been too long.

I am Surefire guy. At work my EDC is a Surefire X300U (I have one of these on each of my social guns) on my pistol, a fual Output Surefire Fury on my duty belt and a Surefire EAG Fury (the light Checko linked to above) on my rifle - I actually have a Surefire light, either Scout M600B or a Fury on every one of my long guns. I also really like the new E1B Backup that is rated at 500lumens, but don't have one yet. That being said, both off and on duty I carry a FourSevens Quark QT2L-X dual output - set to High and Moonlight - with a deep pocket clip in my left front trouser pocket (EDC knife in the front right pocket). I have carried some generation of this light for years and have been unable to break them. As the QT2L line gets upgraded to the newest gen, the older lights QT2Ls get stashed around the house in drawers, my wife's purse, toolboxes, range bags and go bags. These lights are awesomely bright, low cost/high value, and last forever. I also like the 2 AA version but the two 123 version is slightly smaller, has a longer run time and higher lumen output. While i consider myself a "Surefire guy" I really like these lights. If Surefire isn't careful, they are going to price themselves right out of the "tactical" light market. As far as Streamlight, I have had nothing but bad luck with their products and will not buy them or recommend them to anyone.

I don't believe that the idea of trying to get to your HD guns with blood on your hands is such a huge stretch that requires a vivid imagination to prepare for it. I personally think that using bioimetric locks to access guns used for defense in your home is a bad idea. I think it is shortsighted. I think a digital keypad with a key backup or simplex locks are the way to go for that purpose. If someone believes otherwise, that's fine. I was just attempting to point out something that maybe those with bio locks hadn't thought of - a very real result from a very plausible outcome. Oh, and you too John. Smooches

Once the touchpad/print reader is bloody, you can clean your fingers all you want, the pad likely won't read. Plus, while you dick around with your ten fingers my safe with its key, simplex, combination or even digital keypad is already unlocked and I have a gun in my hand ready to give someone the bees - whether my hands are wounded, bloody, and full of tears and snot or not. Sorry Bro, but I am calling shenanigans on this. Why is my only hope a bio-print safe? In the situation you mention above would work just fine substituting a keyed entry (with the key someplace ither than the car key ring), simplex lock, or even digital keypad for the bio reader and probably work better and faster with bloody fingers - If there is blood in your eyes, there is blood on your hands. There is no way you suppress that instict to wipe blood from your eyes so you can see. My one pistol safe is a key entry, with the lock being on top of the safe. The safe is bolted to the top shelf of a bookcase, that is well over my head. I have no problems whatsoever using that safe which is over my head and requires a key to go in a lock that I can not see. My other pistol safe is a simplex lock and the last is a digital keypad with key backup. All of these can be opened in the dark by touch alone and with either hand, bloody, hurt, or not. Yes, you can what if a scenario to death. Lets not do that - I am sure we can all come up with no win scenarios. The long and the short of it is in a fight there is a good chance you will get bloody and that blood will get on your hands.

She doesn't shoot but yes she has the combination and keys to all the safes in our home; and yes she knows what I have and what I spent on them. For you guys using biometric safes, have you tried to open them with bloody fingers? Try it - chocolate syrup makes a decent substitiute for blood. You may be surprised at what the results are.

That's why I prefer standard FSB on my social guns. You can get rails that are cut out for a standard FSB and still give you a longer rail/reach. If you are avoiding a fixed front sight because you are worries about seeing a FSB in your optic, if you run with a lower 1/3 co-witness and get enough practice on it you never even notice it.

Curious to see how this gets resolved.... http://nj1015.com/gunman-in-point-pleasant-beach-prompts-school-lockdown/

Intriguing... Keep us updated please!

I am open to new ideas when they work better and faster than the way I am doing things currently. When I can clean my bolt to a satisfactiry condition without any risk of damage to my parts and reassemble my rifle by the time you have chucked up the Dremel, that is ineffecient and not a new idea worth adopting. IMO I have seen more weapons damaged by over-enthusiastic cleaning than by leaving them a little bit dirty, just sayin'

One of the guys on my team has one. Typical Isreali garbage. Cracked in less than a month.

He went off on a Mod on a very public and disrespectful way.

From a purely technical standpoint this^^ However, recoil is a very subjective thing. People interpret it very differently and the interpretation is based on many factors, some of which are outside you control. What may feel like extraordinary recoil to you may feel controllable or even negligible to another and vice-versa.

You are correct. No one compares to Jesse.

Except for one small fault I agree - She's obviously attracted to douche bags. On second thought, maybe I would have a chance after all…

Why any Cop, retired or active, would agree to do this is beyond my ken....

Finally a true "Common Sense" gun law. I think it has a very slim chance of being approved, and I have yet to see the actual bill, but at least someone is thinking. http://www.armytimes.com/article/20130927/NEWS/309270010/Bill-would-let-troops-civilians-carry-guns-stateside-bases

The DD Omega is a great value and true free float rail that requires no modification of the host weapon. They go on right over the delta ring without removing the FSB or muzzle device and take about 10 minutes to install. They are rock solid and perform very well. I have a 7" on my primary work gun that gets abused regularly and has had no shift of zero. The other is a 9" rail on a SPR I built. No shift of zero regardless of how hard I crank down on my sling or brave on hard cover. I recommend them without hesitation, especially to folks that have to pin and weld muzzle devices in order to avoid SBR or other legal issues. It is the best choice that I have found.

Exactly.^^^ Add to that the fact that subjectively everyone feels recoil differently and to different degrees. The only real way to see what break is the "best" - to you - is to shoot them both side by side on identical guns with ammo from the same lot and make a decision based on your subjective impressions of each. The brake that feels the "best" to you may be my least favorite.

I have 2 FSC556 and a BC 1.5 I really see/feel very little subjective difference between them. Definitely not an $80 difference (FSC ~$100 and BC ~$180) To me the FSC seems to shoot just a bit flatter, but has more side blast. The BC has less felt recoil but doesn't flatten the muzzle as well. I like them both and would put either on my rifles. But, given the price difference, I will stay with the FSC for now. I have no experience with the BCM and as far as I know, there is still no decision on the BCM being a FH or a comp/brake as defined by NJ. The FSC556 and the BC are both known to be NJ approved. Oh, and I am not a fan of that Corey guy (just his wife )
