Plus, pivot and takedown pins... I don't think the AR15 pivot and takedown pins work in a Mega. I'm not aware of any .308AR that uses AR15 pivot and takedown pins.

^^^ I have a long story about this... Probably shouldn't be shared publicly...

Exactly - this is headed to the Supreme Court...

Man, ain't THAT the truth! Welcome aboard, Preach!

Speaking of Trump: Trump's pro-Second Amendment platform could end gun sales boom Published November 22, 2016 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/22/trumps-pro-second-amendment-platform-could-end-gun-sales-boom.html President-elect Donald Trump is expected to push to relax gun laws when he takes office, but significant changes in the firearms industry began as soon as he was elected – and some put the law of unintended consequences squarely in the cross hairs. For instance, while Trump’s unapologetic pro-Second Amendment stance may be good for gun owners, it has already dealt a blow to manufacturers, who enjoyed record sales throughout President Obama’s eight years in office. Stocks in companies like Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co. plunged on Nov. 9, and experts say it is because Trump’s election erased fears that guns would become harder to get. “A lot of people were buying guns simply because they were worried Hillary Clinton’s regulations would make it more costly and more difficult to buy guns, and people are not going to feel quite the need to go out and buy guns now,” Crime Prevention Research Center President John Lott told FoxNews.com. “I think the stock market is a pretty good predictor of what’s going to happen, and the fact that you see drops in stock prices by almost 20 percentage points –I think that’s pretty significant.” While the government does not publish an official number of gun sales, background checks, a gauge of how many people try to buy guns, skyrocketed under President Obama. In 2008, 12.71 million background checks were conducted, a number on pace to double this year, to set an all-time record. The prospect of a pro-gun control administration of Hillary Clinton following Obama, together with a campaign that put gun rights in the spotlight, was the likely driver of the firearms boom, acknowledged Joshua Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. But he was skeptical that a rise in 2016 gun sales or an anticipated dip in the coming year will have a major effect on crime. “Gun violence is obviously a complicated issue and doesn’t just turn around because of a month or two of different sales,” Horwitz said. “There are so many guns in America that a blip in the sales rate is not going to change the death and injury rate in any meaningful fashion, and it’s just too early to tell.” The weekend following Trump’s election, arms vendors from all over the country set up their exhibits in Oklahoma for the semi-annual Wanenmacher’s Tulsa Arms Show, the largest gun and knife show in the world. Show founder Joe Wanenmacher told FoxNews.com sales were steady, but would’ve been through the roof if Clinton had won. “Had Secretary Clinton been elected, it would have been panic sales, because gun shows were in her sights to either be eliminated, or make it so difficult to sell that they wouldn’t be effective,” Wanenmacher said. “When there is complacency, there isn’t the motive to buy guns in anticipation of something bad happening.” One attendee agreed. “I think if Trump hadn’t won, it would have been chaos,” she said. “It was a relaxed atmosphere and everyone was upbeat.” Fear of new gun control laws was not the only sales driver in recent years, said National Shooting Sports Foundation spokesman Mike Bazinet. He said local crime also spurred people to buy guns, and does not expect that factor to diminish in the near future. “There is no question that the concern over political situations over the past several years, where people may have feared additional restrictions of access to firearms was a motivator, but it wasn’t the only one,” Bazinet said. “Our retailers tell us that a more important factor is local crime.” Trump has said he intends to work with state and local governments to repeal gun-free zones, do away with the special tax on silencers, encourage expansion of conceal carry laws and carry out a host of other pro-gun industry initiatives. Advocates of gun control say such measures will put more people at risk of becoming victims of gun violence, but Trump and other Second Amendment stalwarts disagree. “If you get rid of gun-free zones and make it easier for people to carry, you will deter criminals,” Lott told Fox News. “You will be able to reduce crime.” The irony is that an administration more sympathetic to the gun industry could hurt its bottom line. “There is no doubt that the firearms industry will not be treated as a social disease by the Trump Administration,” Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, told Fox News. “The president-elect will make the Second Amendment great again.”

Brass looks fine. You're gonna see an ejector swipe on almost every round. Those in your pics aren't a problem.

Seriously. Just a stroke of a pen... Department of Justice issues voluntary smart-gun guidelines http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/20/department-justice-issues-voluntary-smart-gun-guidelines.html Published November 20, 2016 The Obama administration on Wednesday announced a series of specifications for smart-gun manufacturers, born out of the president’s January executive action aimed at curbing gun violence. But there’s a catch to the new set of guidelines: They’re voluntary. “This project was designed to spur the growth of enhanced gun safety technology – and not to mandate that any particular individual or law enforcement agency adopt the technology once developed,” the Department of Justice wrote in a blog post. The DOJ’s National Institute of Justice developed the specifications, which include recommendations for how smart guns should be able to be unlocked and a default state that would allow guns to fire if the technology malfunctioned, engadget reported. The White House said the specifications are meant to ensure that smart-gun technology “available to law enforcement agencies is safe and reliable” and to demonstrate that a demand exists for weapons with enhanced safety features. Officials also said they hope the specifications will give manufacturers guidance about the basic requirements that law enforcement agencies expect from the technology. But critics of the DOJ’s baseline specifications quickly emerged, with the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action penning an essay Friday that questioned what, if anything, the Obama administration’s smart-gun effort accomplished. “But it appears the president hopes to portray the publication of the document as a ‘win’ during his waning days in office,” the piece stated. The NRA-ILA memo also called into question the basic practicality of smart guns if, as the DOJ admits in its own recommendations, the technology has the ability to fail. “Any firearm that won’t fire when it’s needed just isn’t ‘smart,’” the NRA-ILA wrote. “And any ‘security’ system that defaults to turning itself off during a problem just isn’t secure.” As part of his January executive action, Obama directed the government to review the availability of smart-gun technology on a regular basis. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

That's fine for a bolt action, but not for a semi auto. Bullet setback. From recoil. It's real...

Do some more research on that one. There are miles and miles of bad reviews, over time,on that POS trigger.

DON'T COMPLICATE SCHIT WITH COMPLICATED SCHIT...

I'm not seeing the snow...

That was my sentiment, all the time. I got to spend ALOT of time doing schit at work, that adrenaline junkies PAY ALOT OF MONEY TO GO DO!!!... And it was my job...

One of two things is going on here, based on this description - it's under gassed, and the BCG isn't fully cycling, which is causing the round to not clear the ejection port (low bolt carrier speed, due to under-gassing). OR, its weak extraction, with the extractor is letting go of the spent case before it's fully clearing the chamber - then it just bounces around and doesn't get ejected. One quick test to see which one it is - open that gas block ALL the way up, chamber one round, as Wash stated, and see if it locks back after firing. If it does, you're not under-gassed, and it's a weak-extractor problem. Solved, pending shooting result.

That's cool - with brand new springs, that have never been cycled, until you loaded them, right? Magazines get "broken in" as well as all other moving parts. Double Feeds are always a magazine problem. Double Feed - two live rounds trying to enter the chamber at the same time. ^^^ If you have one spent round that didn't extract or eject, and a live one trying to feed, that's not a Double Feed... That's a different malfunction.

That's a magazine issue. Period. Change mags and use a mag that feeds reliably. Open the gas port all the way up. Conduct testing. If it's not cycling properly like that ^^^ - then get back with details of what it's doing. Double-feeds are ONLY a magazine problem.

The pic up there ^^^ is a 15" on a 20" barrel. This is the same 15" on the 18" barrel...

Don't leave Aero Precision out of the running... This is their 15" keymod, but they have the same rail in M-LOK.

I'm in - love Nordic Comp. Run some of their shotgun parts, have a couple AR barrels that shoot the damn lights out... They rock. Oh, and I'm winning the rifle...

Definitely the wrong area for that topic... However, this is the correct area - post the question in here, and you'll get a lot more responses... https://forum.308ar.com/forum/21-optics-amp-mounts-buissights/ Check out the 4-14x offerings from Primary Arms, in FFP, with mil-dots.

Hot damn, that is excellent!!!

I've posted this before -

Nope.

Shepp, I've installed lots of these, various sizes. The cheapies work just as well as the expensive Rigid Ind. light bars do. Until you crash it... You can't go wrong with the cheapies, so have no fear. They'll work, and work well.
