Surely it's not a comprehensive look, but it does provide some insight into what the major news networks prioritize, especially during prime time. It's a self-admitted snapshot.

The AR15 platform was designed to be a little looser than the STANAG spec, which is why the Magpul EMAG exists. I don't know how much that translates to the AR10 platform, though. PMAGs were designed for ARs, so it's little surprise they work well in them. The real question is whether non-AR platforms which accept STANAG spec mags can accept PMAGs.

Depends on whether or not Magpul built the .308 PMAG to spec or not.

Based on what evidence is NPR run by liberal statists?

CNN. I think it represents the closest to middle ground reporting than any other big, basic cable news station. Granted, the second you throw news commentary shows into the mix, it's all garbage no matter the channel. If I had Aljazeera I would watch that. BBC is good as well. Other than that, I follow various Reddit subreddits for daily news. If I'm looking to be informed on a particular issue, I'll try and find some primary sources via Google.

Seconded!

I just haven't observed an interface which works well. If I could have a light which let me pick between momentary only and on/off independently, I'd be on board. I thought Surefire disco'd the tailswitches for the 6PX. I can't read.

If money isn't an object I say grab a second upper. If you're money conscious, just swap the barrel.

If they made a brighter WML I'd be all on it. 200 lumens is just too anemic for me. I love the design, though.

Where are the switches? I thought I looked on Surefire's website and swear I didn't see them. I was under the impression that Surefire did away with switches on all their flashlights as they "weren't designed for weapon mounted applications", keeping switches exclusively on their weapon-lights like the overpriced Scout and Millennium series. I'm yet to see an interface that can make anything but momentary only work well. I hate tail caps with the press for momentary and click for on like on my TK22. Does Surefire use something different?

It was either the Troy or the Norgon, and the Troy seemed like the better design. Definitely makes lefty life easier!

Yeah, but the 1000 lumen model is a 3-cell while the Maelstrom is a 900 lumen 2-cell with more modes and is tape-switch compatible. 500 lumens these days is good but it's not great. The Fury isn't bad, but I take the Maelstrom over it any day. See what I mean by me being a picky dude!

This is pretty petty, but Surefire as a brand just pisses me off. I think they're overpriced and underpowered. A lot of their line is dated and I just get this sense of arrogance from them. I'd like to avoid them if I can.

Honestly, it's not, but I'd like to have a light activation switch in a neutral position on the rifle so I can use it with either hand. I don't have a problem with push-buttons, so long as they're like the HSP WMLs in that they're momentary only.

I've had nothing but good things to say about FourSevens. I have a Quark X AA2 and it's the best damn flashlight I've ever owned. 280 lumens with two AAs. It's a few years old and I haven't seen another light which can come close. Balls to the wall reliable, too. Part of me just started thinking that this topic was kinda rhetorical. The new Maelstroms have a 900 lumen burst with all the bells and whistles you'd expect, while running on two CR123s. I just wish it was smaller. I'll probably get it.

Alright, right up front: I'm one picky dude. Show me a product and I'll probably give you two or three reasons why I don't like it. Right now I'm running a Fenix TK22 on my AR, but I want something better for the application. I'm concerned about the reliability, need a better interface, and want to run a tape switch. I'm not usually the kind of person to be super frugal with purchases, and I'll pay more to get a quality product, but really Surefire!? Over $400 for a light that puts out 500 lumens!? Shove it where the sun don't shine. I'm not stupid. Call me when when you're done making stupid watches and decide to make products people actually want to buy. Is there any other manufacturer that puts out a light that can use a tape switch with a decent output (500+ lumens) without raping my bank account? Obviously reliability and weapon mountability (that's a word now) is a must. Only light I see is the FourSevens Maelstrom, but I was hoping for something a bit more compact and lightweight. Fenix is out of the question as I need to investigate some reliability issues.

Just threw on the Troy ambi mag release. Feels great!

I voted no (sorry, HE). It's not that I oppose the idea conceptually, I just don't see enough bullpup content going through that would justify a sub-forum. More than half of the rifles page is read to me and the last post on the front page is from December 14th. If in the future more and more bullpup related content should come by, then go for it. I just don't see the need now.

I have no problem with a class, but I think that's getting ahead of ourselves to even think that far ahead. If we can get some form of concealed carry beyond the no-issue we have now, it's a win in my book.

If people are really into forum swag, there's nothing stopping you from making a personalized shirt or whatever with your username, avatar or whatever on it.

EMBRACE MELONITE OVERLORD

I would just ship it to your house and have the compliance work done as soon as you can.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like buying a comp due to the sound level seems weird.

I'm still very much a novice to rifle platforms, so I have the odd advantage of not being used to one style or the other. I feel like the single stage trigger makes more sense to me and how my brain works. I still have time to decide. Thanks for the help.
