Any chance you can post the link. The video isn't working for me. C

My LPK and Magpul grip showed up today!!! Just waiting on the trigger. I found the ALG-ACT online for a slightly better price than I had been seeing elsewhere. I scooped it up. I am hoping to have the lower together by the end of next week. I have to say that although I'm not a huge AR fan, this is kind of fun. Thanks again to all that have contributed so far. C

Perceived and real recoil in an AR platform is quite manageable. I am going to run an ACE Skeleton stock, standard length with standard spring and buffer. I'll give that a shot and "upgrade" it if necessary down the road. Gas tube will probably be a carbine length. Seems to be the most common on barrels over 10 inches. Thanks for the heads up, as always. C

Rutgers, thanks much. C

I've heard most of the arguments for and against. I know the suppressor argument well. I know and understand why the round was created. I also know that I can't run it like that. I'm 100% clear on the limitations that this state has imposed on me. I'm totally fine with it. I'm doing it because it's what I want. Simple as that. C

Thank you. Much appreciated. Last question on the lower: the buffer. Just a standard weight mil-spec should do the trick, correct? If anyone knows Rob0115, I think he did a 300 build recently. I would love him to chime in. C

Target, plinking, fun. Would like to take it on a hog hunt next year if funds allow. So, here's the kicker. I"ve decided to do it in 300 Blackout. I am a reloader and the round is crazy appealing from that perspective. I will be forming my own brass. I also like what I've seen of the ballistics when the round is run supersonic. The round also appeals to me because it's still a touch "quirky" . Add to that the fact that everything besides the barrel is the same as .223 and for me, it's a winner. I'm looking for a heavy to medium contour barrel, 16" in length, with a 1/8 twist. I would also be interested in a 1/10 if I could find one at a decent price. I would love to have a fluted barrel with the compensator integral to the barrel, but am willing to pass on that if funds do not allow. C

Nice work, Anthony! Looks like we both got a screaming deal!!! C

Thank you, sir. Looks like it's just you and me chiming in on this thread. That's fine with me. You'll be the only one in on the kicker at the end! C

Oh, and... Pics or it didn't happen. C

Have decided to go with the ALG-ACT trigger. Will most likely order after the holidays. I know that I can polish my own trigger but I like the fact that this is done and coated to make it slickery. Then it's on to the BCG. Also, does anyone have any experience with Satern Machining barrels? I'm far from it, but am still looking at barrels from several manufacturers and they have a seemingly good reputation. I do prefer hearing from those with first hand experience, though. C

What about the 317? Or are you trying to skip the snubby? Nice small frame, 8 rounds of 22 deliciousness. Good stuff. C

Pics, as promised...

Ordered the LPK w/o the trigger group and a grip from Ty this evening. Most likely be here by Wednesday. Still shopping for a trigger. Still very undecided. C

FWIW, I own S&W's. I like the aesthetics a bit more. They are a touch more... refined. Because of the thinner topstraps and such as opposed to the Ruger. Also, there is a bit more finish work on things like the hammer and the edges of the gun. I happen to appreciate that kind of thing. That being said, I lust after the GP100 3" Wiley Clapp in black in a big way. Just a really good looking gun. Would be tough to sell it to myself as I own a S&W 686+ 3" already. But I do want one. Also, a 4" blued GP would be great as would one of each size SP101, and maybe... etc, etc, etc. Get what feel right. You won't go wrong with either. C

Yes. Because pros are paid to shoot what is given them. Just like in every other sport. C

So, I was able to finally meet my buddy and pick up my lower. I got the Mega Arms forged "Gator" lower. It goes well with my forged Mega Arms stripped upper that I picked up from Ty at Midwest PX. I'll be ordering a LPK in the next day or so. Pics to follow. C

Thank you. Much appreciated. A super light pull is not what I'm after. Smooth is where it's at for me. That being said, the high end triggers do hold an appeal for me. I can always add one later if I decide to stay the stock route. We'll see. C

I would completely take you up on that if you weren't so far away... C

Sounds good. I'll take a look. C

If I read it right, the SD-C is about 4.5lbs. Any lighter and I wouldn't be comfortable with it in someone else's hands. I shoot with friends and family so my guns get passed around a good bit. I'm also not looking for a super light trigger. Just super smooth. Add to that the fact that I like flat trigger faces... If you think it's a crappy move, I'll listen. So far as I can tell, you've not steered me wrong yet. C

Same to you. And all the best on this wonderful holiday to everyone on here and your families!!! C

Funny. C

How do you feel about the SD-C. C
