Wish the stock kit was in FDE. 3 weeks ago it was. Didn't bite then, regret it.

Flat top AR with picatinny rails. Do different red dots require diff mounts? i.e does the same mount work for a 400 Aimpoint and a Bushnell 25? One looks much fatter.

Here I am reading reviews and watching prices for red dots and I was so aloof to the importance of mounts. Here are my questions: Do most optics come with a mount for the picatinny? Do the most popular like Aimpoint and Vortex? What about the lower end like Bushnell? (yes obviously I can read the box to find out but I wanted to know there were generalizations). If you buy a red dot with no mount, are there specific "sizes" you need to be aware of when buying a mount? It looks like the Bushnell is "fatter" than the Vortex for example. Are almost all mounts the "ring" variety? again i'm asking because a "fatter" optic doesn't look like they are mounted with the ring? If someone can post some advice or rules of thumb or good advice I would appreciate it. I won't get into questions about different styles of mounts like quick releases or different heights, that will be a different question, lets just keep this one to how you just fasten your optic to the rifle in the first place. I can't believe I never really paid attention to a mount, I just always took it for granted. Thanks.

Yes. Start getting addicted to long guns...that's what happened to me just out of frustration.

There's YouTube videos that compare brightness of different manufacturers. It's very cool.

When i shoot steel I am getting nailed all the time by "fragments" of bullets. Kind of counterintuitive that fraggible ammo would splatter around less? Is it because it is softer ? My worst fear is a frag bouncing sideways of a wall and into the side of my safety goggles. I always try to be looking down range when shooters are going. I get hit often in the head with frags.

Nothing is worse than not being comfortable in your own home. Your home is supposed to be your castle. You're best off telling the guy "I know you're new here but you creep me out. You asked me for money and then you knocked on my door. Don't talk to me or my wife and don't knock on my door. Just because we live in same building doesn't mean we are friends. Have a nice life but keep me out of it". I think you will feel better if you get that off your chest. That way you know he knows. Good luck.

and what are your thoughts on a "quieter" brake? i started a thread about linear compenators last week that didnt get much traction...

wait... only a brake that has PN on it is pinnable?

Ahhhh. My bad. Im a rookie and didn't know the plate held a pin in

What's the worst that happens if it gets loose? We do not shoot full auto. If it gets loose you would feel you lower slosh around a little right? Its not like the spring could immediately fall out right? It would need a couple of turns I'm just asking for the "importance" of the torque Yes, I get it, it's a deadly weapon need to be careful. Just asking

$650 was the Slickguns post

Greatest dining experience I have ever had in NJ is at restaurant Latour up there. (not to be confused with Latour in Ridgewood) And it houses the largest wine collection in the county I believe. It's sick

Just saw one of these on SlickGuns.. did you have a chance give it a workout yet?

Don't take firearm instruction from that guy either I think you should just talk football with this guy going forward

Unless the compact is different just google "M&P alternative takedown". It's the same as the glock. Don't have to use the tool. I never do. I pull the trigger .

I'm not considering this JUST because of neighbors. It's for myself as well. Again, if I must pay the expense of changing one on the barrel I want to consider this. It appears the biggest complaint of the LEVANG was lack of flats for a wrench.

Did some forum searches but the threads always drifted. I figure if NJ law is making me pin a comp on why not be nice to everybody next to me and save their ears? Yes I understand the muzzle flip issues, yes I could just opt for a non threaded barrel but that limits me when shopping for complete uppers. Yes I already wear plugs and muffs together. It appears LEVANG comes up the most. I see KIES a bit online. Please name a couple of others. Of course I'm not looking for a suppresor, but I just figure for realistically me shooting indoors and it doesn't hit me in the wallet, I'd like to explore brakes that send percussion downrange instead of sideways. If i wasn't forced to pin a comp I guess i would just keep a regular A2 on it. But since i have to actually purchase something i want to look into this. Please list me some more options similar to the two i have so far.

That bolt/screw just needs to be like 3 threads longer. I just brought the magpul screw to HD and found it's thickness by using the grid board they have, that determined the thickness and then I just went to the drawer and found the next longest one. BTW it's an allen screw. If you never want to add a grip onto that guard this is all mute. But i wanted an AFG on that hand guard.

Your first build but looks like not your first time using a camera. Very well done angles. Looks like from a magazine. And with regard to that hand guard, if you try adding any Magpul stuff to it, like adding a mini rail, the bolts that come with the rail are not long enough to catch. I had that rail on my Stag and I added an AFG. Had to go to Depot and buy longer bolts (screws)

I had my first exposure to crime when I went there. You would leave your sneakers or shirt in one of the cubbyholes and go on the ride. I came back and my stuff was gone. I was devastated. Crime!?!? In NJ? Things like that didn't exist to a ten year old kid from Bergen County. So call Action Park my first exposure to the real world.

If I'm not pulling over for strobes and calling 911 I'm gonna leave my cell phone on "record video" for the beat down I'm about to get when that cop gets to my window with steam coming out his eyes. If I'm even lucky enough he doesn't have his gun in my face. "yes judge i didn't pull over because i read on the Internet it's okay to make a phone call first" Drive to the nearrest PD department? What is that is 15 minutes away? You will have so many cop cars in pursuit of you not stopping it will make A Fox News alert. Please Please are we all really saying here to not pull over and you don't think there will be repercussions ? I need better convincing I'd rather pull over AND THEN call 911. But just keep driving you guys are saying ?

Just take all your mags and try jamming 16 rounds into them. If you can get 16 in you are fugged no matter where your bought them. The joke is on you then. Buyer beware.

400 on optic and leaving 600 for the rifle? What's the more important parts? I too am envisioning my sub 900 build but I can't see myself spending 400 on the optic while looking for discounts on the parts. Not that any of the parts you listed were sub-quality.

Okay I'm clear on this I just wanted make sure I wasn't crazy here when i saw the red dot much lower when looking through the rear sight. Again, I totally understand the 1/3 idea on the FRONT SIGHT. Most pictures have red dot bullseye middle and front sight at 1/3. But when I saw yours looking through REAR and the red dot was now not in the middle anymore thats when I had I ask about moving your head between transitions
