^^^ Those guys rock - one day, I'll pick up some stuff for my 5.39lb lightweight build, but it's not a priority.

I'm shocked that you even stated that. I actually cannot believe it...

I was thinking that previous reports on this kinda combo put gas port size right around a hundred thou - 0.100". Looks like you nailed it, and it's damn close to a hundred thou.

Shocked to see this about an AZ city. WTF? Cities push to destroy seized guns -- even in states where it's prohibited By Maxim Lott Published December 20, 2016 http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/12/20/cities-push-to-destroy-seized-guns-even-in-states-where-its-prohibited.html?refresh=true When police seize a gun that was owned illegally, should they destroy it or auction it off? Some cities around the country would like to destroy them, but can’t because more than a dozen states have passed laws forcing city governments to put the guns up for auction. Gun rights advocates helped get the state laws passed, arguing that destroying old guns is wasteful. But officials in cities like Tucson, Ariz., and Savannah, Ga., are pushing back against those laws, saying they need to destroy the guns to prevent more violence. Tucson has destroyed nearly 5,000 seized guns since 2013, despite a law that, the state government claims, bans doing so. After the state threatened legal action, the city voted this month to stop destroying guns while it challenges the law in court. In Savannah, city council members have launched an effort to get permission from the state to destroy guns, rather than sell them. “I favor destroying those weapons. I don’t want them sold to pawn shops or gun dealers. These guns seem to always wind up in the poor neighborhoods,” City Councilman John Hall told FoxNews.com. He admitted that it is likely to be a tough fight. “We are facing an uphill battle to get that changed because of the heavy gun lobby in the state,” he said. Gun advocates who helped get the bill passed argue that re-sold guns should be treated just like new guns. “The holy grail of gun prohibitionists, the background check, will be employed when a person purchases one of these firearms,” Jerry Henry, executive director of GeorgiaCarry.org, told FoxNews.com. “There is absolutely no reason to destroy a perfectly good legal item just because the item was stolen and is now in the hands of law enforcement,” Henry said. Hall does not agree. “A lot of people say these guns won’t end up in the hands of the wrong people. These guns do,” he said. Asked if he had a specific example of that, he said he did not – but knew that it happened. Asked if re-selling the guns might provide a cheap alternative for people looking to buy a gun for self-defense, Hall said, “Most people who buy for legitimate purposes – they buy new weapons. That’s what I believe.” Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the pro-gun rights Second Amendment Foundation, noted that destroying guns would benefit gun manufacturers. “If there’s a demand to buy firearms, and the city has destroyed these guns, it just helps the firearms industry selling new guns … If you’re anti-gun it backfires in your face.” While neither Hall nor other proponents of destroying seized guns argue that the point is to prevent weapons manufacturers from turning a profit, Gottlieb sees the cities’ efforts as part of a campaign against guns in general, “because they hate guns and don’t want anybody to own one.” Gottlieb added that the group isn’t looking to help the gun manufacturers. “We’re here to help the consumer. And if consumers can buy a firearm at a lower price, that’s what we’re here to do.” For his part, Hall doesn’t understand why anyone would oppose destroying guns and other anti-gun laws. “I had an older brother who was murdered in 1984 by a handgun,” Hall said. “It’s downright disgusting to me how people argue against common sense legislation. Did you know that a 12-year-old can walk down the streets of this city with a long gun? That’s legal. We live here in a state where you can carry a gun in church or in a bar. We have gun nuts here who just aren’t for any common sense gun control.”

Nice stick you have there, Shepp!

Negative, Ghostrider. The "AR" designation stands for "Armalite Rifle." Period.

Brother, you have NO IDEA how long I have wanted one of those quiet carbines. SO DAMN BAD!!! One day, one will be mine. The De Lisle rules all.

I have that barrel - excellent choice!

If that other DPMS was a complete lower receiver group, the serial won't have a "K" in it. They only do that on stripped lowers.

CONVICTED. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/12/15/dylann-roof-convicted-in-charleston-church-massacre.html Dylann Roof convicted in Charleston church massacre A jury in South Carolina Thursday convicted Dylann Roof in the shootings that killed nine black church members during a Bible study in Charleston last year, a verdict that could lead to a death sentence for the self-avowed white supremacist. The jury of nine white people and three black people deliberated less than two hours before returning a verdict, finding him guilty on all counts against him. Roof, 22, faced 33 federal charges, including hate crimes and obstruction of the practice of religion. Roof just stared ahead as the verdict was read, much as he has throughout the trial. Victims's relatives held hands and squeezed one another's arms. One woman nodded her head every time the clerk said "guilty." The same jury is set to return Jan. 3 to consider whether Roof should be sentenced to die for the June 2015 attack at Emanuel AME Church. He is slated to face another death penalty trial in state court early next year. Minutes after the verdict was read, Roof told U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel he wanted to represent himself during the penalty phase. He said at the start of the trial that he wanted attorneys in the guilt phase, but not in the penalty phase. His lawyers said in a court filing they feared he wanted to avoid embarrassing testimony that the defense might have presented to try to get a jury to spare his life.

Check the serial number on the lower. Should have a "K" in it. Report back.

No, it won't... Now you're catching on... Aero upper and lower is a solid choice, as well as the DWilson BCG - GREAT parts and a solid foundation. Rifle buttstock or Collapsible buttstock? Reason I ask is for the collapsible-possibility - only use Armalite AR-10 Carbine parts for that. If you go collapsible stock, use the Armalite AR-10 Carbine receiver extension, ANY AR-15 carbine H3 buffer, and the Armalite EA1095 spring. Solid dependability, right there. With your BCG choice - which is a great choice - find a DPMS-based compatible barrel. They're plentiful. Welcome aboard, man.

Awesome to see this happen - fantastic news for both people!

These slings are worth it, people, if you're on the fence about it.

Some dude thought that up as an answer for pistols, and shouldering it. I think I read somewhere that he broke his jaw in testing... http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/09/foghorn/open-wide-no-stock-needed-stock-for-ar-15-pistols/

PM sent, brother!!!

It's supposed to be the schit - with heavy BCM influence. Can't go wrong with that.

Welcome, man- those lowers look SICK when painted!!!

Very funny, fukker - I was going 80mph...

After buying new brass at $1.04 per (Hornady box of 50 new, unprimed is $52), with a cyclic rate off 800 rounds per minute... I'd need an initial investment in $832 just for brass. I can reload 45-70 for about 70 cents per round. That gonna cost me $560.00 per minute to play with... I don't even think Ron's MRAD costs that much to shoot...

I like that brace - very nice! Gonna be a great thread, brother.

Sweet Jesus, that thing is BEAUTIFUL!!!

300blk for me. I'll never run out of ammo, ever. I can always find pick-up 5.56 brass to convert. Reloading x39 Berdan-primed cases is next to impossible.

Exactly. If they're not scared of humans, my goal is to make damn sure that they are...

Doesn't happen overnight, brother. It takes time. Nature adapts,or nature doesn't adapt. When it doesn't, wildlife and people become a problem... And, shoot 'em!
