High Exposure

No, a simple tac or spot weld is not enough in NJ. Look at what the ATF/Feds consider “permanent”. That will cover you. “ Permanent methods of attachment include full-fusion gas or electric steel-seam welding, high-temperature (1100°F) silver soldering, or blind pinning with the pin head welded over.” Ref: ATF 5320-8 ATF National Firearms Act Handbook, pg. 5.

I just have too much stuff. Every time I go in my basement, I build a new rifle or gun belt, or something. One small piece turns into an 85% complete project and I have to buy more stuff to complete it. It’s gotta go! The unused stuff in the basement is costing me too much money!! Buy my stuff! Get good gear!! Truth!

Yeah man. I am kicking myself for not grabbing one a few years back when Atlantic Tactical had the tactical version for sub $700..

I have solar. My rate for electric is locked in at what the current rate was and will never go above that. My current electric bill is typically under $10 a month - hell, it’s usually under $5. Add that to my payments for the loan to pay for the panels and I am still well under what my power bill was alone before the panels. I also get a nice chunk of $$ for selling my SRECs. When the panels are paid off in another 4ish years, I will be saving a significant amount of money monthly. I didn’t get solar to be “off-grid” or to have power during outages. It was to save money on our monthly electric bill.

We had pretty good lightning storm all around but not a drop of rain……

No power loss here. Big storm coming now though, from the West watching it roll out into the bay from the front porch.

Magpul Type 1 & 2 combo on an ALG EMR MLOK Tube: All Type 1 Magpul on an ALG EMR MLOK Tube: The ALG tubes have slots at weird locations at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o’clock, not the traditional 3, 6, 9. All Type 2 Magpul panels won’t fit. All type 2 on a Troy SOCC MLOK Tube: VZ and BCM panels on Keymod LaRue UU Kit Tube: Lunar Concepts Hot Pocket on MM SBF MLOK tube: Both the Type 1 and Type 2 work well for me. I like the texture on the Type 2 and I like the low profile of the Type 1. The BCM is ok as well, but I prefer the Magpul’s.

Aimpoint T1 would be my #1 choice, but that’s a pricey proposition. I have a T1 on my bench now that is waiting for my Aridus CROM to get installed on my 870. Super jealous of your 1301. I really want one - specifically a Langdon version. Check out Aridus: https://www.aridusindustries.com They make a lot of accessories for that platform, including an adapter to put Magpul 870 stocks on them.

I have an app called “JustWatch” on my phone. You can enter what subscriptions you have then search for shows by title. It’s not alway 100% but it’s close enough and gives a starting point.

Didn’t get time last night to take photos. I’ll post some this evening. We aren’t talking about the MOE handguards, just the rail covers. But I do like the handguards as well. I have one carbine that still has them and they work great. Just to confirm, your handguard as MLOK slots all around or rails? Typically a “Quad Rail” means there is 1913 Picatinny rails at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock on the rail. An MLOK tube typically has 1913 Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock and the rest of the tube has MLOK slots (some at 3, 6, and 9 and some just have more)

Beat me to it. I was just coming to post this.

I use a combo of the Type 1 and Type 2 on most of my MLOK tubes. I have some of the Keymod BCM panels on my LaRue in combination with some VZ Rail Panels. They are both nice as well. I will try to post photos later when I get home if I think about.

If your hand guards are getting too hot for you, take a look at Magpul Type 1 and Type 2 MLOK panels - Note: Do not fill all of the slots, as you do need some ventilation between the barrel and the tube. Only put them on the rail where your hands will touch the rail while in a normal shooting position. Another option is one of the handguard wraps, like the Lunar Concepts Hot Pocket. I have one and it works very well.

I don’t need any. I want 2.

I want another one, but goddamn… don’t want to spend $200. Need a couple more SF 556MB devices as well…..

Sorry, mine is a 407c Green. I fat fingered it last night half asleep when I was typing. That is the way to go.

Holosun makes a 507C with a green dot. I just got one a couple months ago. It was under $250.

No. That is not an ideal RDS for a pistol for many reasons - reticle is too large, inability to adjust brightness manually, serious issues with reticle washout in variable lighting conditions, it is very expensive for what you are getting. You want a Trijicon RMR06V2 and Battlewerx sealing plate or a Holosun 407C V2 or 507C V2. I recommend the 407C V2. Best value, very reliable, side battery tray (so you don’t have to remove optic and lose zero to change battery), appropriately sized dot, and larger window.

most guns that are milled for RDS require suppressor height sights in order to use them as a backup sighting system through the window of the optic similar to a lower 1/3 cowitness on a carbine. On a pistol, You want the iron sights to take up as little of the viewing window as possible - referred to as “low-witness”. The Brownell’s slide allows you to achieve the “low-witness” with regular height sights because the RDS is milled lower into body of the slide.you don’t need the taller sights to clear the base of the optic to be visible through the window. I mean, you could use suppressor sights, but you then would cover half of your viewing window through the red dot with close to an absolute co-witness, removing a lot of the advantage of having a RDS on the pistol in the first place. If you have a slide milled, or get a different slide, you will likely need Suppressor height sights.

Windowed G19 Brownell’s slides are back in stock - $240: https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/slide-parts/slides/rmr-cut-slide-for-glock-19-gen-3-prod134618.aspx?avs|Manufacturer_1=brownells&avs|Make_3=Glock&avs|Special-Filters_1=In%2bStock&trk_msg=L4HKQF5CUPU4J5SJS7DHBN335O&trk_contact=31ARLAI3EJUNVMM3IC1DMVDL9C&trk_sid=21J7D3FTP7QT0OKPD9FSSOEOFG&trk_link=UNJNHLHDR2SKHATI2E85FE6JSK&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Shop Slides Now&utm_campaign=2021_08_06_Slides&utm_content=HandgunParts They have Gen 3 and Gen 4 models in stock, in black nitride or FDE PVD. These are great value - especially as a test platform. The dot sits deep in the slide - you use standard height BUIS, not Suppressor height irons. For just a bit more than the Swenson slide above, it’s a no brainer. Brownell’s for the win.

Wait. Is that what I said? I don’t think so. Well, damnit, now you’re making me doubt myself…. Lemme check, BRB….. Ok, I’m back. So I just went back and read the words I actually typed and I think you’re gonna be shocked. I mean, you’re just really not going to believe this, but I did not say that I decide what kind of sandwich I have based on the bread. No-sir-eee Bob. In fact, that’s actually not even close to what I actually said. If you read the actual words I used, in the order I actually used them, you would see that what I actually said was your notion that bread is “just a filler” is incorrect. A PREC on rye bread, tastes completely different than a PREC on a hard roll, tastes completely different than a PREC on potato bread, tastes completely different than a PREC on an English muffin, tastes completely different than a PREC on an everything bagel. The “bread” is more than just a “filler”. It is an integral part of the sandwich and changes the taste and texture of the entire thing altering the entire PREC experience.

Ha! Oh my god, his new screen name is amazing. He joined in July of 2017. Hasn’t posted since August of 2017 and he jumps in this thread just to post this. I mean he hasn’t posted anything on the forum in 4 years….. so, with all that time spent not sitting on his ass, he has to gone outside and recruited, like what? At least 100 men to fight our crummy gun laws. Maybe 150 men?

Incorrect. Hard roll, English muffin, bagel, etc… it all makes a difference.
