Troy MRF-R FF rail
^ Showing the inside portion - you'll notice interlocking tabs that mate the bottom and upper halves together (machining is done very nicely - fitment is tight). Very happy with this design The MRF FF isnt big and bulky at all. It feels slimmer than my Midwest industries rail on my other build. Comes with a few anti-rotation QD mounting points and for a basic 2pc FF setup, it's pretty sweet. The look is outdated, but functionally this should be a winner.

Retailers who raised prices today?
I'm pretty sure we can all relax now, right? Killary is long gone... prices should come down again soon and things will stabilize

Standard plastic hand guard replacement

Starting Out: Kit or not?
the lee turret press is OK for the money. I have one and I've run into a few issues with the function of the turret (lots of cheap plastic parts on it). It's perfectly fine, but it's not high-quality as others on the market. It'll run for a long time, but you'll likely be sourcing replacement parts periodically. On a budget, you can't go wrong with it for producing good plinking ammo.

Standard plastic hand guard replacement
Midwest industries is good for the price. I've got one on my 14.5 build when they were having a sale a while back or wait for some black friday deals to pop up. non-free float drop in quad rails are all pretty much the same... just keep the weight in mind

Shootin' get together at Range 14 (Ft. Dix)?
I'm curious as well. Need to hit up a range with more than 50 yards....

I don't think Ty intentionally did that just for election day. He said that his supplier is long gone and he has to make due since he can't get those anymore. IMO that isn't price gouging at all, especially for the amount he's asking for a nice lower. He has to run a business and that isn't cheap - especially when your suppliers are in a shaky situation or in Ty's situation - long gone... Everyone has a choice to buy or not.. Unless it's some obviously retarded situation that people should be made aware of, it's all fair game.

"Renting" optics
I've looked thru a few acogs at shops, but have never seen anyone at the range with one. I doubt I'd ever buy one with that price tag but it'd be cool.

FM's reloaded 223 is just OK. It's been a hit or miss for me in the past with really messed up looking brass and case necks Their new production is good, though. I have a bunch of their 556 - can't complain about those. Their reloaded pistol calibers are also spotty. I've had a lot of pushed in bullets and a few duds. Perfectly fine for plinking.

anyone here cast their own bullets
make sure the area you're doing this in is VERY well ventilated...

Post-Election Ammo Plan
so now that trump won, we're in the clear (for now)? online retailers went crazy again selling out on a ton of ammo. If i'm not mistaken, prices only went up a few cents for factory 223/556 - up from around 31cents/rd to 35cents/rd hope this leads to lower prices soon, not that many of us are really in need right now

Midwest PX is a standup vendor here and I wouldn't consider that price change gouging at all. Never an issue with Ty and he's always been there to help when needed. I support this dude whenever I can (when I'm not buying used).

Troy MRF-R FF rail
Perfect - thanks again HE I agree on the quality. It's a really nice rail and for a 2-pc free float I couldn't pass this up for $100 shipped brand new from Primary arms. The interlocking upper/lower portion is a nice twist and it's surprisingly thin.

Troy MRF-R FF rail

Pictures of AK's
I'm short too, which is why I went for it. If you're ever around GFH you're more than welcome to try mine out to compare. The size is very comparable to an A2 buttstock vs fixed carbine length For mags, there's also country-spirit.com. I believe they pin/rivet their mags just the same as badelement. They usually have a bunch of metal mags 15/30 to choose from. I picked up a bunch of bulgarian and croatian ones when they were on sale

HE - have you ever considered replacing the intermediate stock to a warsaw length version on yours? The LOP felt awkward for me on the AK platform - way too long. Warsaw length (like on most standard AK's) feels just right.

AR pics, lets see'um!
my babies: BCM 14.5 LW Mutt - really light and compact package. fast on target RRA 20" SS 1/8 wylde Mutt - soon to be free floated and waiting on optics (usgi carry handle or MBUS for now). love the feel of this one with the A2 buttstock. RRA did a really great job on this upper. Couldn't be happier with them
