When you're shooting with the ACOG - what are you using it for and out to what distance most often? I'm new to the ACOG world coming over from Iron Sights and need some advice for medium to close range engagements.

I'm a big fan of cold steel fixed blades.

Scott - I think it's interesting that I've been able to bypass this bit *knock on wood* as much as I have been able to. As mentioned, employer doesn't respond to mail or verifications, and there haven't been any indications about neighbor checks. Just some issues with the NJSP and fingerprints.

I have a M&P 45 too. Never had any FTF or FTE. I don't mean to offend, but is it possible that you may have a poor grip? Sometimes "limp-wristing" can cause the gun to enter that condition.

My company is really big and there's no place to send an employment verification. We do have a 3rd party service to do employment verification but they want a $15-$30 for a verification account. Employees are able to audit this verification so I went in and did some screenshots and brought that with me, along with the statements from our internal website saying they don't do employment verifications. That along with a business card was good enough.

Shoot. I never read that part of the sentence when I was scanning through. Good eyes man. GFH might want to split that out... Although those people shooting reloads likely have more experience with shooting and could handle it.

I ordered yesterday and Bravo called me this morning to confirm my shipping address and let me know it was going out on Monday. While they were talking, they said "oh yeah, your barrel is in the back getting welded" --- new favorite.

Would you mind linking me? I swear I've checked the FAQ a couple times and missed it. Just want to double check it. Thanks!

I ended up with BCM upper. I liked their prices, variety of offerings and that they would pin and weld the muzzle device as part of the cost (between upper and device they paid their labor). Means that out of the box I ought to be able to throw lead down range.

Fair point well made. I have the do-dads already on the 15T but I like your idea of running the gun "naked" first and adding or subtracting what makes sense.

Crap - you're right. I think Sandy took my mind with her.

I'm thinking about heading over Sunday at 10 - anyone else in?

It looks entertaining - that's what it's supposed to be, no?

I just went looking and can't find a citation for that. Could be lurking somewhere though...

Any favorite BCGs?

You have no idea how happy that makes me - I was really nervous. The Troy Alpha is one of those rounded forends with a rail over the top and some accessory rails towards the end. I'll likely figure out what I like and don't like with this longer reach. I have the AFG on the M&P because everything was short and very very heavy over the front. Any other thoughts on stuff to mod, Chris? I'm thinking trigger will be next... safety selector?

I'm new the AR15 world. All I have today is my M&P15T (Heavy Crowned Barrel + HEAVY Quad Rail) and I wanted to try something newer, more versatile, and most importantly, larger feature set. In MA, where I came from, we are not allowed comps of any kind. I was hemming and hawing about whether to buy new, used when I got some good advice - get a new upper. So I did. I went with a Bravo Company Standard 14.5 Midlength Upper Receiver Set with a Troy Alpha 11" Rail (LINK: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-14-5-Mid-Length-Upper-Receiver-VTAC-ALPHA-p/bcm-urg-mid-14%20vtactrx11.htm) with a black Battle Comp 1.5. I also added a BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 Medium charging handle. The plan is to mate this upper set with my current BCG and Lower, add in my MBUS sights, Angle Foregrip, ACOG, and get the RMR setup offset. I think this will be a cool build that I'll likely frankenstein as I learn more about what I like and don't like. Anyone have thoughts on the components and setup? I'm very open to wisdom from the group. Cheers, James No pics yet but will post once the box arrives sometime next week or so.

I am going to the UP1, UC1 in early December and asked the same question. TheWombat chimed in on that thread here: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41340-urban-carbine-1-and-urban-pistol-1-dec-9/page__view__findpost__p__547166
