Not good business practice to put out questionable blem part then to make people jump through hoops to swap or cover under warranty. It's probably on the manufacturer's side and they also caught in the middle but at the end of the day it's got your name and your reputation on the line. Sometimes as a manufacturer or a company you gotta bite the bullet and do what's right by yer customers. Negative press like this will always follow with the internet now.

Ouch! is that prepandemic pricing too?

I would also suggest a mid length gas system over a carbine. The recoil is minimal on an AR but I think it’s even smoother on the mid length system.

Shouldn’t be an issue I have 1:7, 1:8 and 1:9 barrels and they all take anything 5.56. I hear 1:8 is becoming more common? 50-100 yard shooting would not be a real issue on any of these types of barrels. As for keeping the build cheap I would also stick with 5.56/.223. Make sure it’s 5.56 which will shoot .223 or a .223 wylde. Just not a plain .223 unless that’s the round u only shoot.Gotta also factor the cost of ammo. If plinking throwing .25-.35 a round down range is cheaper than throwing .50-.75 range. lots of good ideas and suggestions just have to figure it out with us all chirping in yer ears lol.

Assuming this question is for an AR build? If for a bolt the question would be moot no? Sorry yes I see now it's in the AR discussion.... Yea I would agree with Texan and as long as no mention of flash hider you should be fine.

So sounds like u will be looking for a Mini 30 in the near future? Lol. I am not familiar with that. I do see a cut on my bolt how does that work w/ stripper clips? Here's a few pics of the bolt. Is that the cut on the right of the bolt?

Another one but chambered in 300 blackout.

I love mine just the issue of using steel cased ammo. Every 10-15 rounds I would get a light strike but follow up shot it goes off. Its a known issue all over on the forums when using steel cased. The Ruger's a prima donna lol. Looks like it prefers brass.. But that costs more to shoot obviously. If you are looking for 300 blackout then the Mini 14 has one for that caliber. https://ruger.com/products/mini14TacticalRifle/specSheets/5864.html

Local or online? Both options below....Online reputable I buy from them regularly. Local I think someone was selling online but not sure if it was sold already. Online is this what you looking for? https://www.lockedloaded.com/product/rem-700-sps-tactical-308win-20-hvy-blk-hogue#product_detail

This was the parts that were included in my kit. There was no part specific to the Mini 14 versus the Mini 30 for my year.

I see what you mean. The description for the 2007 and earlier barrels do not reference the Mini 30 but from what I gather the differences they point out are the pencil barrels on 2007 and older versus the flanged barrels on the 2008 and newer. Prob best to shoot them an email and they can tell you yes or no. Here's the PDF instructions that they included but again no indication of the Mini 30 in the 2007 and older version.

Haven't tried yet. The red dot will mount forward of the ejection port and rear of the pic rails. I've see that but wanted to keep clear of the ejection port. Had a scope mounted and the dial/ knob looked like it was getting dinged when the the shell casings were ejecting. Here's the picture from their website with the vortex red dot mounted. They are not using the pic mounted red dots but rather the ones for the handguns.

I was looking for a rail upgrade for my Mini 30 and found this product which in my opinion makes it look so tacticool and actually allows me to eventually mount a red dot on my rifle! Samson makes it for both variants. (models 2007 and older or the 2008 and newer) They also offer in black and natural gray is what i opted for. I love the way the wood and the gray works so well. It matches the original hardware quite well as you can see in the pics. The link below includes the vortex red dot but you can also get it without the red dot which was what i opted for. Comes with a QD mount and additional 2" pic rail. https://www.samson-mfg.com/hannibal-rail-and-vortex-red-dot-package.html

OK so specific to this round in the link. I usually hear about .223, 5.56, 7.62 x 39 and 300 blackout. Always learning!

Excuse my ignorance. Why would they use a pistol length gas block on a 16” barrel? I thought they were usually either carbine, mid length or rifle length for AR rifles? Wouldn't they have issues either short stroking or ejection issues?

Use code HOHOHO25

I’m confused did this start at $1700, then $1500 now asking for $1200? ”All most new and S1700”

On top of that this legit small company get's their name dragged through the mud and they none the wiser...... That really sucks. Glad you caught the scammer.

More like never leave home without it!

PM inbound on CCI

That Sig M11a1 looks hot w/ the wood grips. If only this posting was earlier. My P2P's all accounted for. Good luck with the sale! What's round count?

Thanks Jason for ammo.

I’ll take it. PM inbound.

If you are looking to grab one for a spare this weekend would be your best bet. Deals all over the place.

Both deals still great deals.
