agreed

just had a friend bring his upper and this brake to a shop here in NJ and was told that it was a flash suppressor and the gunsmith would not install it...i don't want to name names, but it's crazy that we are still dealing with ambiguity like this as far as brakes/flash hiders go.

thanks for the quick feedback... and that's what i thought. i hate that things are so messed up that someone asking me a question will make me revisit the issue or think i might be wrong about something like that.

If i live in NJ can i drive to PA, buy a handgun, take ownership, and drive back? I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, but i want to be sure. Someone is telling me it can be done since PA is contiguous with NJ but i'm trying to tell them it's not possible. I found this on another forum: You cannot purchase a handgun in a state other than your state of residence. Legally, that is. An FFL will shut you right down. You can purchase a long gun (rifle, shotgun) anywhere in the USA, but not handguns. You can purchase a handgun if you have the handgun shipped directly to an FFL Dealer in your state of residence. That dealer will complete the NICS check with your 4473. The transfer to you must take place in your state of residence. When I purchase a handgun via the Internet, for example, I have the handgun shipped to my local dealer. He then completes the transfer to me just as he does when he is selling me the gun. Short answer: Can't do it. "interstate" Long answer: Can do it, but can't accept handgun in other state. The seller must ship it to a dealer in your state. Said dealer then makes the "intrastate" transfer to you.

if you haven't tried to fit new/different furniture to the rifle yourself, i wouldn't make such a claim. century states that it is akm furniture "compatible" - so i'm guessing that some aftermarket furniture may fit, some may not and some may require modification. i've watched the videos on you tube as well. the reason one guy states that aftermarket handguards will not fit is because the receiver and trunion are slightly thicker than normal....so some filing or dremeling of the handguard would be required in order to get them to fit. so they can be switched out, your choice of handguard just might need some "fitting". optimal? no possible? yes

thanks. ordered through atlantic firearms. delivered to my FFL so i was able to get the slant brake pinned and welded and the 30rd pmags which he blocked and pinned for me. i put 100 rounds through it tonight and it ran great. accuracy was there, great trigger, and recoil/control with the slant brake was good. i'm happy as hell. my buddy who has a Saiga w/conversion kit liked it too.

picked up my RAS 47 the other day, she gets broken in tonight...i can't wait.

nice pic and awesome build, looks a lot like mine. great work

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/18894/s/psa-16-carbine-length-chf-m4-5-56-1-7-rifle-kit/ $500 puts you right in the middle of that range. yes, it's palmetto, which some could argue isn't a top tier brand, and i have limited experience with them. but for the money, i believe you probably get some good bang for your buck. (see what i did there?)

lets see some progress pics!

yes, BCM carries that comp, for the same price shown in that link

i didn't give that piece much thought until i was installing my barrel and used it to time/align the barrel nut with the gas tube pin. took all the guess work out of getting it aligned just right

and...how did you like it?

this should help: http://www.ar15outfitters.com/Glossary-of-AR15-Related-Acronyms-Terms_ep_44.html you can buy both the lower and upper as "stripped" meaning they are incomplete and must be put together - the lower needing a lower parts kit...trigger group, safety, bolt catch, etc. and the upper needing a barrel, hand guard, charging handle, bolt carrier group, etc. you can buy a complete upper that is already assembled - and possibly a lower (although typically this is self-assembled) you would want to at least have iron sights then beyond that some kind of optic that fits how/what you will be shooting at just keep reading and looking at this and other websites and you'll become familiar with what the options are. a good way to understand what's available is to browse sites like midwestpx, bravocompany, etc and see what parts are out there, what the differences are, etc. just take your time and establish what you like, want, your budget, etc.

what he said

was hoping to find a thread here... to all that have served, for all your dedication, hard work and sacrifice....THANK YOU

i just picked up speedsights for my Glock 23...in looking for new sights to replace the stock setup, i was doing research and heard a lot of good things. i should have them in the next couple of days and hope to make it out to the range at the end of the week. i had the same issue with the dropped circle that is shown in the pic n4p226r posted and decided it was finally time to try something new.

i have the MOD1 on my most recent build and have the PWS FSC556 on my older AR. I actually like the MOD1 better, i think it offers slightly more control of the muzzle and it's quieter than the FSC556. My 2 cents...

i have the ALG ACT (single stage) on one of my ar's and it's crisp and clean - for $65 i don't think you can go wrong. i picked up the Geissele G2S for my latest build, and i like it a lot. two stage, first stage pull is light and linear with a clean break and reset. it's the "cheap" version of the SSA and cost me around $165 i think.

Steve hooked me up with a Sunday morning pin and weld job for the brake on my new AR. No surprise that he did an outstanding job. His work is accurate, clean and fast. He's always a pleasure to talk to...a nicer guy to deal with i haven't met.

not the best pic in the world, but my new baby home after her first 100 rounds this morning - four different loads of brass and steel, ran great no matter what was in the mag. big thanks to Steve at Monmouth Arms for the pin and weld job on the brake.
