gnatshooter Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I just placed an order for one of these and they confirmed shipment a couple hours later. Kaw Valley Precision .30 cal. Linear Compensator. I'll be able to compare it to the unit from Bison Armory and will get back to y'all with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatshooter Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just ordered the Timney AR-15 drop-in trigger module. Sure took a lot of comparison shopping to decide what to do with the trigger on my DPMS LR-308T. Nearly got the Jard but decided not to on account of all the work required filing off bits of metal. Trouble with filing is that you can't use it to add metal and screwups are basically permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnatshooter Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I just placed an order for a Tubb Precision T2K RH Wood Grip (Walnut) from David Tubb for $69.95 (plus shipping). It turns out you can order the same thing from Midway for $92.99 (plus shipping), but you have to back-order with an expected in-stock date of October 13. I nearly ordered this earlier, and this is mentioned on another thread here, but there was some doubt whether or not this walnut pistol grip would fit a DPMS LR-308. According to the video at the company website, the grip 'would not fit an AR 15'. On the other hand, I got an email from the company saying it *would* fit a DPMS. With the blurb at Midway saying it fits "AR-15 and AR-10 rifles" and a discount (for now) of $23.04 via the Tubb website, I decided to take the plunge. I did manage to find another source of wood pistol grips for AR-type rifles from Pro-Grip, but I'm not sure I like the idea of the safety selector swinging down into a slot, and it looks like the design has maybe too much "pull length" on the trigger engineered in. Also, it's more expensive, at $135. I seriously would have been tempted to spend more money for a Nill Tactical grip, which is utterly beautiful, but couldn't find anyone who sells them. I nearly bought a Colt 1911 Grip Adapter from Pearce Grip so that I could put a 1911 Master Grip on it, but online comments changed my mind. Turns out the Pearce unit is plastic, doesn't fully support the entire grip panel behind the trigger, is wider than the standard 1911 hardware (meaning one-piece grips won't work), and always requires that the grip panel be inletted for the safety selector. There's companies out there that produce complete sets of wood furniture for AR-15s, like here, here and here. However, none of them offers a kit with a free-float tube for the DPMS, and none of them (I emailed them all) will just sell the pistol grip separately. At least, none of them answered the emails, and by now it's been months. Wow that was a lot of shopping. I take it as proof that there's an untapped market out there for AR wood grips. That Nill Tactical grip is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woodworking is so crude that it would take literally hours of sanding to make it as smooth as the picture. And when it was sawn off of the main block of wood, you can see where the saw bound up -- there's a saw gouge from top to bottom nearly 1/4" deep and the wood is burned from where the saw torqued. The inletting in the wood where the receiver inserts is off kilter and will not properly fit the receiver. There are no holes for the springs for the safety and takedown detents. No person alive has a hand large enough to hold the grip itself. I cannot imagine they let work like this out of the shop. I am sending this back and hoping for the best.

Microgunner Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Just ordered a Bravo Concealment Patriot holster for my S&W M&P9 CORE. That one was hard to find. And also ordered a Mitch Rosen holster, pau ferro custom wooden grips and SS guide rod for my new Kahr MK9 Elite.

FaRKle! Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just a few things: -BCM H3 buffer to soften my PWS MK216's recoil impulse a bit. -BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 3 to try it out (I have the Mod 0 and Mod 1 which I feel are slightly too thin). -KAC Thumb rests to replace the LaRue index clips I've been using as thumb rests. -KAC URX 4 13" rail! This might actually give my Noveske NSR the boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Farkle, you really can't go wrong with Heavybuffers.com , I have one in my mk214 and it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Farkle, you really can't go wrong with Heavybuffers.com , I have one in my mk214 and it's great! I'll see if I need it. I tried Robo's gun with the XH (6.5oz) buffer and it cycled too slowly for my taste. Slash's next lightest buffer is 5.6oz (same weight as the H3). It didn't make sense for me to pay $99 for the 5.6oz CAR-10 buffer or $75 for the 6.5oz AR-15 carbine buffer when I can get an H3 for $37. I don't know if your MK214 has the same receiver extension as mine, but the Mod1 uses standard AR-15 carbine buffers. Edited October 10, 2013 by FaRKle!

Rsquared Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 For the first time in a long time, I don't have anything on order outstanding (or at least I don't think that I do). But, don't worry fella's. I got the little surprise while poking around in my basement yesterday...........that my water heater is leaking around the draincock. YEA! So I guess that I get to replace it on this upcoming weekend. F@#K ME! Guess that I can't complain too much though. According to the tag, I last replaced it in 88. Yep....that's 25 years on that bad boy. Definitely got every dime outta that thing.Time to break out the torch this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
