Nice looking rifle, good choices on parts, great choice on barrel, you won't be disappointed. If the LOP is too short for your comfort you can add a MAG350 butt pad to gain another 1/2".

It has nothing to do with sights or optics, gas length is either carbine-7", mid-9", rifle-12", and now an intermediate is being used by some, the longer the tube the longer the dwell time for the gas to push the bolt back, therefore a somewhat perceived softer recoil. An adjustable gas block will allow you to decrease or increase the amount of gas to tailor it to the load you are using. I can cut mine back to almost feel like a 22, with a light bullet. A free floating handguard will allow the barrel to move on its own without disturbing the harmonics of the barrel.

I used a Black Hole Weponary barrel 18", rifle length gas with a Syrac adjustable gas block, stainless steel - black shot peened and target crown, the nice thing about this company is you can order almost any option/configuration you can think of. An 18" pencil barrel is only 1.55 lbs. but fluting is not available on such a light barrel.

Here's a BHW 1-8 18" barrel w/ a rifle gas system and adjustable gas block, can dial down to shoot w/ almost no recoil.

I've recently bought from Cheyenne Mountian in Bordentown, CCI small and large pistol primers along with Bullseye, Unique and CFE pistol, CFE pistol works well for both 9 & 45. Wideners and Midsouth are also sources online, if you buy enough sometimes even with the Haz-Mat fee it's cheaper.

Another option is to use a target crown barrel to eliminate the brake.

According to Hodgdon's website; "Lead bullets and copper plated lead bullets yield very similar pressure and velocity results, so when the weights are the same, the same data may be used for each." So I would start with Hodgdon's data, 3.9 for LRN for Tightgroup.

Maybe Perkins on 571 just off of 130 in East Windsor, they have a "back dining room" for groups.

No info on the Oculus but I have two AR Bushnell's a 1x4 and a 4.5x18, your welcome to look at them at Range 14. I was set on a Vortex but I liked the reticle and the shorter length of the Bushnell's. (From what I've read the Oculus is similar to the Bushnell Elite series.)

I thought there would be many responses to this, maybe some people don't know or remember Red Skeleton but looking at this video he was ahead of his time, what I remember most is that he was a gentleman and he never used foul language to get a joke.

I use a Primary Arms brand extended mount, ($59.) it will put the centerline of the scope 1 1/2" above the rail.

I just bought a Black Hole Weaponry, many options to order the barrel how you want it, mine is a 18" 5.56 1/8 Twist, Black Shot Peened, 416R Stainless Steel, 3 Polygonal Rifling, Target Crown. I paid less than $220 on sale. http://www.blackholeweaponry.com

I purchased a LPK with Magpul grip from PSA w/o a trigger and used an ACT trigger with Wolff springs, Magpul fixed stock with extended butt pad and the buffer assembly from Anderson.

Mosquito, it's the only gun I ever traded.

Black Hole Weaponary has many choices, I just bought an 18" 5.56 1-8 Target Crown SS Black Shot Peened, haven't assembled yet, waiting on Handguard.

For what it's worth I used an Anderson lower (and upper), a LPK w/ Magpul pistol grip w/o a trigger from Palmetto State Armory, an ALG ACT trigger with Wolff reduced power springs (JP offers the springs also).

As posted from their Forum "12-25-14 & 12-26-14 CLOSED,01-01-15 & 01-02-15 CLOSED. 12-27-14 & 12-28-14 NORMAL HOURS 8am - 4pm. I will let you know about 12-31-14 as soon as I find out or you can call"

Magpul BEV block.

I have a CZ P-01 its a alloy frame, decocker, about the size of a G19, 22 conversion kit available as well.

Local gunsmith near Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth or Ocean County to pin and or weld a brake, thanks.

I've always used wax paper with the wax side towards the holster.

Maybe their "policy" changed as they have two stores opening in NJ, one in AC and another in Sayerville.

Two items I changed on my G17 Gen 4 was an extended slide release (factory part G34) and a trapezoid slide lock from Brass Stacker, recommend as long as it's not a carry gun as both items stick out further than original parts.

I've used grout paint a couple of times and it works great, just apply with a foam brush and remove the excess from the tile with a sponge. I think I bought it at Home Depot or Lowes, it's available in different colors.

Short story, I bought a Mosquito and Mini-Mags, used it for a while then I bought a Ruger 22/45 Target and added some Volquartsen trigger parts and a Red-Dot, which shoots any ammo and I have not picked up the Sig again.
