Yes. Well, in diameter, it is. Don't buy a commercial-sized stock. It's longer overall, and internally, in order to run the AR15 Carbine buffer length (3.250" OAL). It doesn't use DPMS-based LR-308 short carbine buffers (2.500" OAL).

Oli, I have 4 of these with collapsible stocks, all DPMS-based builds, and all 4 of them run the Armalite AR-10 Carbine recoil system. Zero issues from it, ever.

Newt Gingrich sounds off... Newt Gingrich: After the Florida shootings, here's a practical proposal to protect our children http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/02/16/newt-gingrich-after-florida-shootings-heres-practical-proposal-to-protect-our-children.html Wednesday’s tragic attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida is a deeply painful reminder of how much we have failed to honestly confront the problem of school shootings in America. Putting up “Gun-Free Zone” signs is not a solution. It is an act of self-deception. By definition, the determined killers carry their guns past the signs. They are not slowed down for one second by community sentiment. The current strategies of responding to a violent threat by either freezing students in place or accelerating student evacuation both carry seeds of disaster. Freezing the students in place simply sets them up to be killed methodically by a brutal, evil or mentally ill person. Having them flee may lead them to run right into the path of the killer. In “Day of Wrath,” a novel by Bill Forstchen, there is a vivid description of how dangerous our current school policies are in setting up the innocent to be killed. In this stunning depiction of a methodical radical Islamist assault targeting American schools, the moral and intellectual dead-end of the current policies is made clear. America is not going to become gun-free. Firearm-specific bans, such as bans on semi-automatic rifles, won’t have an impact because the majority of mass shootings in the United States are committed with semi-automatic handguns. In fact, the deadliest school shooting in our history, in April 2007 at Virginia Tech, was committed with handguns. Therefore, the danger of evil, insane or politically-religiously motivated people killing the innocent will remain. Mental health-focused “solutions” are incompatible with civil liberties. America is not going to adopt laws to apprehend or restrict every person who might become dangerous. That would trap hundreds or even thousands of innocent people to try to stop the few truly deranged, dangerous people. Each killer’s threat is much more obvious after the killings. After each wave of killings, we wring our hands, say strong words and do little. The fact is, evil people with guns must be stopped by good people with guns. Furthermore, the faster good people can respond, the fewer innocent people will be killed. Every school in America should have several teachers and administrators trained in firearms who are permitted to carry concealed weapons. The number of these “protectors of the innocent” in each school should be determined by the number of students. Agreeing to serve in this role might be encouraged with an appropriate monthly stipend. After all, in Georgia, teachers who agree to serve as coaches are paid stipends ranging from $150 to as much as $400 (and sometimes more for large football programs). Surely, we can afford to provide this type of incentive to people who want to help protect our children. Because these protectors would have concealed weapons and not be in uniform, would-be killers would have no idea who might be capable of ending their threat by ending them. This idea is the same principle behind the Federal Air Marshal Service, which was rapidly expanded after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The marshals provide countervailing force to stop terrorists. Furthermore, because air marshals are unidentifiable (they wear plain clothes and their weapons are concealed), would-be terrorists don’t have a target to attack first. If we are really serious about protecting our children, we must have trained and equipped protectors prepared to handle this type of situation whenever there are school activities. The Parkland school had an armed officer assigned to the campus, but the officer never encountered the shooter and was not able to respond in time. Dramatically increasing the presence of uniformed, visibly-armed security guards, however, might create an environment ill-suited for learning. Instead, teachers and administrators serving as protectors could complement and support the dedicated officer or security personnel who are already serving in many schools. This combination of using uniformed police officers to handle standard school security challenges – while also having responsible adult protectors who are already going to be working in the school prepared to provide additional force in the case of a catastrophic emergency, like a mass shooting – is the most effective and practical way to protect our children.

Literally, everything about a 300BLK is AR15 parts, except for the barrel. Use good AR15 parts and you can't go wrong. With barrel selection what it is right now, I'd do a Faxon Firearms 9" Gunner barrel. This one right here: http://faxonfirearms.com/match-series-9-gunner-300-blk-5r-416-r-nitride/ They also do a 7.5" and 10.5", if you'd want either of those lengths. They's be just as good. You'll need something under 10" if you ever think you'll have to swing that thing around inside your vehicle, from a seat in the car/truck.

Right now you only have a barrel? /if you don't have receivers yet, then you're basically starting from a clean slate - which is a good thing.

Midtown, it's going to feel like you're trying to take a drink from a firehose in a minute - brace yourself...

^^^ Agree completely - and it's not what you're looking for in this description, Midtown...

The magnifier doesn't have a zero. Only your red dot would have the zero. If the red dot holds true, then you're good. The Vortex you have will hold zero.

Two recommendations, right off the bat, then. Both scopes are Primary Arms, but with different reticles. One is specifically for estimating range and hunting, but it can be used beyond hunting. The other one is specifically forestimating range, (more) rapid target engagement, holding for wind, holds for moving targets - and can also be used for hunting. Hunting: http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-orion-4-14x44mm-riflescope-acss-orion-pa4-14xffp-orion Way more than hunting: http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-riflescope-acss-hud-dmr-308-223-reticle-pa4-14xffp308

Max distance you'll normally shoot at, max distance you'd like to shoot to, max dollar limit you want to hit, and what you're shooting (paper or animals, and size of animals). Hit some answers for those, and it's easier for us to make recommendations.

^^^ This.

ALOT!!! That's my current truck gun. 9" barreled pistol. I keep it in a tennis racket case.

On that note, here's something for everyone to ponder... The previous administration successfully created a new generation of complete fukheads. Those that turned 18 and bought into all the bullshiit campaign promises voted for that president. We suffered through 8 years of his bullshiit and WAY flawed policies/orders/changes. THAT generation went from 18 to 26 years old, believing that shiit. They are now ANTIFA (and a few other groups, like BLM). Many of them are the snowflakes you all saw crying when Hitlery was handed her a$s on election night in 2016... They will continue to believe, continue to act, and continue to bully the rest of society around, for the rest of their lives. They will make babies, and raise them with that mentality, and the cycle will go on until it's proven unpopular to support. That will take generations.

No shiit - we saw that for 8 years, from an entire presidential administration. We're only really discovering the depths of that abuse now...

If you have two springs at the pistol grip... The larger one is the safety detent spring, smaller one is the takedown detent spring. DPMS does the same thing on their LR-308 lowers - both springs go in from the bottom. Takedown goes in from the back on AR15s, and alot of the newer 308AR follow suit.

Hey Brother, see these little guys below? Look at that one at the bottom of the group...

^^^ I agree with that. I think it sucks, though, that teachers will have to basically be "Combat Medic" certified to work in a school. That's something that I'm not mentally digesting very well... because that fact sucks so bad...

Love mine, brother. Had it since they released it, 2009 I think. I know that's when I got it. ...even with it's weakass Choate extension tube...

There ya go, brother.

That sounds like ME!

All of the PPU .223 Rem brass that I converted to 300BLK - first loading, they ALL did that after firing, and I caught it when I attempted to load them again. The same load worked great in LC 5.56 brass. I quit using the PPU brass to make 300BLK right then, and tossed all those cases in the trash. LC only from that point on.

EngrBob is right, you know. This has been building up for the last 20 years. Two decades of feel-good bullshiit, fucked up policies, and "everybody is a winner" mentality. Couple that with some "don't hurt anyone's feelings" and a little dose of "everyone has a voice," then mix in a whole lot of the last 10 or 20 years of bad policy - provide everything for free to anyone that can bullshiit their application of justification to qualify for it... Sprinkle in some large doses of "degradation of the mental health system" and your recipe is complete.

Blackout = pistol powder launching rifle bullets in rifle brass cases = fuk around with the wrong powder or charge, and you're gonna know it. I'd love to know what his load was first, before I looked at anything else. Get after the pigs, wash!!! Want me to send the 338 Fed over there to ya? It's a soft shooter, so you wouldn't even have to wear your padded bra!...

Fuk. Time to uparmor the schools. These dikbags are WAY out of hand.

That SAR9 is badass. I shot the piss outta one a couple weeks back. Sights were right on the money, about 7 steel targets spaced out at varying distances between 7 and 15 yards. It connected with every plate, every time. Recoil is very easy, almost not there. It was setup with the medium backstrap and large side panels, and it fit my hand like a glove. The grip profile is identical to a VP9, and we had one of those there at the same time. I'm talking identical. That SAR9 really is a VP9 lower with a Glock slide on it - that's the best way to describe it. I love the thing. When I prioritize it, I WILL own one.
