Yes ... I heard they are all Made in France

ROFLMAO ... yep ... got to look in those fitting rooms for transgenders ...

It's just like Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. Your rights and status and eventually your freedoms were dependent upon and restricted by your political alignment. This is one of the ways the communists maintain control once they have the upper hand.

I've looked in to this on and off throughout the years and it appears the trend for states to be allowed to run roughshod over our Constitutional rights began right after, and somewhat as a result of, our Civil War. This is definitely how it came about in Texas. A lot of the returning Confederates were killing the carpet baggers and this eventually led to the handgun restrictions that were in place until 1995.

Yes that is a bit heavy. Congrats on the great purchase and price.

Big tube 34 mm should give you plenty of natural light.

Right at the same price as MK262(s), if not cheaper. I've bought from these folks also and have always had a positive experience. They are focused on ammo and I've always received their shipments in good order and in good time.

As long as it functions why not?

Thanks for pointing this out. I never thought about it. I never knew nor heard of 150(s) being too slow for that rate of twist. I'm sure there isn't a whole lot of folks that think about that neither.

Very impressive build. The whole gun turned out great. Very envious here as you did a damn good job.

Howdy and welcome from Gulf Coast Texas. Enjoy your time here. Nice gun in the photo.

That would be great ... might as well get paid for the frustration too

1-case of XM193 ammo from PSA (due in tomorrow ), 2-USA flag charging handles, a buffer tube plate, a slim front sight post from OT Supplier, and 2-Colt fire control selectors and pins from G&R Tactical.

Can our ArmaLite 1-11.25" twist barrels handle the 175(s) and higher?

Welcome to the site from Gulf Coast Texas. NICE GUN !!!

Right but I was wondering if it's possibly some special glue or sealant. What made me think to ask this was I recalled removing the driveshaft from a Ford Ranger and the manual stated you and to apply heat to bust thread sealant on the u-joint u-bolt threads before you could loosen them. I was just wondering if a couple passes over with a small hand-held butane torch might help in this same manner.

I've never had one come apart but I have had a couple of the bungee and hook-type break at the bend in the hook. One of them the very first hour of use. The cheap foreign-made jobs are obviously made from pot metal. I use these quick detach units now and I am quite satisfied. USA-made units will last. The Magpul piece you have here is most likely as good as anything else USA-made.

This may be a crazy question (note: I'm not a reloader) but would it be possible to use heat to maybe ease them out or maybe drill them out somehow? Just a thought ...

Same here. Just ordered a 25 box case.

Glad to hear you're getting better.

PSA is now showing Federal XM193F (M93 ball) for $5.99 per 20 round box.

Thanks gents

Not meaning to hijack the thread ... Somebody correct me if I'm wrong; isn't XM193 ammo a sort of military spec rejects from a lot(s) of M193, or the other way around? Interesting as I've never heard of XM/M193i. Can anyone fill me in on what the "i" designation is?

Hot factory (over)loads, blown primers, etc., ... yes indeed this is why I always wear eye protection and I only hunt with ammo that I've at least tried a few rounds of on the range. Somebody gets a blown chamber or other pieces back and through the eye I'm sure the DOT restrictions will be severely challenged. This stuff is dangerous and yes Midway should pull it all ASAP. Must've had an interesting day at the ammo plant when this lot(s) was moving down the line.

I've bought some from them also and yes they are a very professional company. I haven't bought that much from them but everything I have bought has been very well packaged and never a loose round in the box. I've never had to return any ammo so far but like everyone else Im sure my luck will eventually run out. A couple of years ago I stumbled on the IMI military-grade M193 rounds and noticed they were cheaper but had good specs. I bought about 100 rounds to try them and suffered no problems so I went ahead and ordered a 500 round case. I bought the case for stash but now that this has happened I'm going to break the case open and try some to see what happens. Right now PSA is selling the 55 grain 5.56 for a little over $5 per box but I don't think they are actually the XM/M193(s). I think JT just might've received a very bad lot of them but the problems he's had is quite dangerous so I hope if he tries for some more of the same they turn out better. Good to know somebody will make good on this problem. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. It will be even better if the company that takes this back does an eval and then follows up with what they've found. They definitely need to recall it all. Too many ambulance-chasing lawyers out there just itching to find a deep pocket.
