Yeah, it (ARSafe) probably seemed like a good idea when developed, but there was a video on it (or something just like it) in the YouTube recommended list when watching the Mean Loader video, and all I could think was, "well, that just became obsolete." Works for the range, I guess, but not...

Makes me want to put a Lantac-like handle on my SCR carrier and remove the gas system. :D

RDN is right, of course, but I like to design. So, who wants to engineer this AR-type lower that might actually use the AR bolt carrier ... (Forgive the rough and two-tone concept drawing.)

Too old. Pretty much everything is 36 (give-or-take) and under, which I am not. Plus, about 30 others reasons ...

True, but I'm interested in the concept as a rifle (not for any real purpose, but for the thought exercise.) Is that what that tab is on the first one? Grinder will take care of that. In essence, it's halfway between a standard rifle and a bullpup. Instead of putting the action/mag all the...

Quarter Circle 10 has one, too

Magazine changes should be easy, since you're already holding the magazine. Keep your support hand on the front end and the butt on your shoulder, then release the mage with your strong-hand thumb. The magazine, once inserted, is the grip. As such, you don't have to have a long trigger finger...

Y'all got some long-ass thumbs to have it in that hole while gripping the mag. Good catch, though. Let's say we fill that hole ... The orange version is, indeed, ugly as sin, but I kinda like the blued/wood one. ;)

Assuming the mag is limited to 10, of course ... (Yeah, I'm bored.)

Well, in this case, the point of the OP (i.e., it has 6+1 vs. the 500 ATI's 5+1.) There are others, of course, but since that's the "it" that Mossberg finally "got ... right," I'll assume it's a deal breaker to not have it. ;)

Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable porting a barrel under FUAC. As for the Volquartsen barrel, it's simply a very heavy profile at the muzzle. Great for competition shooting, but not much else.

Nice build. Nothing flashy, but solid and functional. Money says you drop the riser after a week. At least, that's what always seems to happen with those (mine included.)

I saw that under "Similar Threads" below. Should have searched, but I was also posting the fact that there was a new option.

It weighs 3.2 oz. Chopping off 2" of 0.750" OD .223/5.56 barrel saves more than that (roughly 3.65oz for stainless by my calc.)

I have target crown barrels. Just thinking about one for looks. No different, really, than pinning one of those fake flash hiders. I'm picturing it pinned to a 13.7" - 14.5" barrel with a handguard coming up to or even just over it. Does it really do nothing? Obviously, it doesn't affect...

Midwest Industries just released their own flash can: As with other flash cans, it specifically says that it "does not reduce recoil or flash." So, it should be good, when pinned to a barrel, under SAFE. Right? If so, the design is flash hider like in appearance. Anyone have experience...

Seems interesting, but I'll have to watch it later. I cranked up the sound on my laptop and in YouTube, and I still can barely hear him. Have to plug in external speakers.

#$%&-ing Rochester. So, by their definition, the Mean loaders are actually "Ammunition Feeding Devices" ("Magazines, belts, feedstrips, drums or clips capable of being attached to or utilized with ...") capable of holding more than five rounds, so they are prohibited. In addition, possessing...

I posted a question on their video about whether you can reload without dropping the rifle of target and they replied that you definitely can. In fact, they said that they will be posting a video that shows that they can actually reload faster than changing a magazine, while keeping the rifle...

Understandable. My "carbine" SCR has a pencil barrel on it right now and is very handy. This barrel was for my SCR SPR, so I was looking for a precision barrel. The profile is 0.900" under the handguards, 0.875" gas block journal and 0.760" up front, which is slightly larger than a typical...

Slick design. May or may not be the best option for everyone, but you have to respect their ingenuity. They found a way to turn any upper into basically a stripper loader without modification.

Was it their 18" Predator? I took advantage of their 1/2-price fluting sale to have them "narrow flute" (12 deep, narrow flutes, as seen on the SDM barrel) the whole thing. Dropped the weight to just under 2 1/2" lbs.

I was thinking something that slid on and (especially) off relatively quickly. If the commercial ones are too tight for that, you could buy a couple of sizes of foam tubing and then see if one goes on snug, but not so tight that you can't pull it off in a second. Or contact AR15.com member...

Same idea. Though, having tried it with a bare tube, myself, the UBR's cheek rest is definitely more comfortable. Heavy stock, though, and a bit expensive (especially, for someone who doesn't convert back too often.) Have you thought about trying a foam buffer tube cover?

As others have said/implied, there is nothing relating to the buffer system that is inherent to the Thordsen other than the physical length of the rifle-length tube being in the way of the rear part of the stock. There are no mechanical parts inside of the FRS-15, itself. It's just a bent tube...

In California, they write their laws with specific wording/definitions/requirements. People then push those precise constraints to their limits, finding workarounds that are as functionally close as possible to the original. Then, the next go around, they tighten the specific requirements to...

I would say, based on the pictures, that the first one was bad parts combined with going crazy with the pump. The second looks like a particularly heavy grip/light combo to be hanging off of a plastic rail that is attached to a pump. Regardless, I agree that an AFG or the like would be a...

The Archangel Foregrip is held on with a small plastic nub: Compare that with Magpul's two metal bars: Not sure that either was intended for use on a pump (far greater forces than just hanging on a semi), but if I had to choose one to protect my hand with, I know which one it would be...

I like the stock, but not with the rest of it. Would rather have it on my SCR. I like the variant of the SCR receiver (JJ had to have licensed the design from FightLite, as it is identical, other than the bling lines.) It is to the SCR as some billet AR lowers are to forged AR lowers. As for...

BDC is not for take-your-time precision shooting. It's for quick adjustments for quick shots, when you don't have time to use a card or an app. Think more SPR/DMR/3-gun than sniper/competition (precision). They are useful if you tend to use (roughly) the same ammo and, for SFP, the same...

Yup. The real equation is: Avg. guns/owner = ((number of known owned guns)/(% of owned guns known))/((number of admitted gun owners)/(% gun owners who admit it)) Good luck estimating those two percentages. It's like Rumsfeld said: "there are known knowns; there are things we know we know...

While the rough idea works, it's important to note that the actual distance (1.9", here) will depend on several things: the height of your rings, the length of your barrel, the ammunition you use. With little vertical drop over 10 yards, due to the high initial velocities with any barrel/ammo...

That's not the Hera Arms stock that Stag is using. It's the Kiln Dex stock. Similar concept, but even less SAFE compliant.

If you order in the next two hours (before midnight in Illinois), White Oak Armament is offering half-price on fluting. They have 18-24" Varmint barrels and 16-18" Predator barrels in stock, which can be fluted with standard (7 wide flutes) or narrow (12 thin flutes) fluting to take upwards of...

Weight and diameter are my biggest complaints about full quad rails. For example, I'm looking for something in the 12-13" range for my current build. The DDM4 rail by Daniel Defense is the lightest, slimmest quad and its 12" model still weighs 13.6 oz and is 1.9" W x 2.16" tall (note: the...

Good call.

As I said in the other thread, it could be good for her to be pardoned. At this point, she is irrelevant. He got the victory and got to publicly declare her a crook. Now, he has more important things to focus on, which does include bringing the country closer together, not furthering the...

Actually, I think it would be good if Obama were to pardon her. While I would love to see Hillary behind bars, for Trump to have a truly successful presidency, he does need to bring the country back together. Stick to the policies that will benefit the country as whole. They will be seen as...

It's been my avatar, but I don't think I've posted it in all its glory here. My SCR (well, my first one):

For fun, Boyd's on an SCR. Does talk about the install, starting at about 1:11.

The extra inch of barrel beyond the gas port should help in the most challenging cases for cycling (i.e., when it is cold.) I'm not saying that 18" rifle-length are unreliable -- far from it -- just that it has a little extra safety room when things are closer to the limits. ETA: here's a...

Interesting. The 1:7 twist is already good for the heavier rounds. Definitely report back what you find. I'll be interested in seeing if it is enough of an improvement on the high end to justify the adverse effect on the other end. Make sure to run some light ammo (e.g., 55 gr) to see how...

Five main types: Picatinny - proven design, but generally heavier and not comfortable to hold ("cheese grater") without covers, most attachments available Keymod - probably the lightest with attachments, looks like small man-parts or modular shelving, lots of attachments available M-Lok - about...
