Know anything about the DOLOS QD barrel system? Maybe a better plan than the LAW folding stock?

OK, I saw the video, and yeah, that's interesting - but what about using an adjustable gas block like Superlative Arms? Supposedly theirs doesn't send the extra shit (gas and junk) back to the BCG at all. And then you CAN switch to suppressed without breaking down the gun. BTW, any reason you...

Ares Armor Effin-A. Damned autocorrect. Unfortunately the original owner of Ares sold to a buddy who turned out to be a jackass, who then renamed the company and ditched a lot of the goid stuff about Ares that I liked. But the comps are still around if you search.

YES. It that a QD for a can? I've got a comp I LOVE (Ares Armor Eddie-A) but it's not Can-Friendly. Also it makes my rifles a ton louder, so I don't think it's a good idea for a pistol. However it's a fully adjustable compensator with threaded holes so I've got my other ARs tuned so there is...

Forgot to mention earlier - I saw the video you mentioned, but that's not what really moved me to the 10.5" barrel. BTW, I would NOT want one of those Echo triggers for a few reasons - EXPENSIVE, bound to be banned at some point by the commies, EXPENSIVE to FEED (BIG reason I'm not into Full...

Hmm. Smaller gas port for suppressors...Makes sense. What about using an adjustable gas block? I've read just a little about them and some supposedly collect crap inside, while another I found a while back ($200 if it is ever in stock) advertised that it had a bleed-off to keep the excess gas...

Right - only MEMBERS can shoot 500 and only on Wednesday, and they also get unlimited use on all days of the steel pistol range which has poppers, 2 trays of knockdown steels and a dueling tree, plus more. They only open the 500 on the one day because you shoot past the 100 yard benches So...

EXCELLENT range in Taylorsville if you live in NorthWest Ga called Creekside - members can shoot out to 500 yards on Wednesdays, and it's run by a former Army Ranger Sniper / Sniper Instructor. He's a no-BS kind of guy, and occasionally he teaches classes. A really cool dude. What barrel did...

HOLY SHIT! THAT is why I started asking these questions in the first place! THANK YOU! So now I see that if I used a 7.5" barrel not only will I have keyholing bullets, early failure of the upper/BCG, cycling problems, and less lethality downrange, I'll ALSO have a GRENADE on the end of the...

Anybody have weight saving ideas? Or think that I shouldn't be too worried about the weight? I was considering using an upper without the Forward Assist - save a couple ounces - and going with a slim contour barrel, but I think that STEEL gas blocks wear less over time vs aluminum -...

Damn. Time to get a better muzzle device.

Is 250fps a really serious drop in velocity for a 55gr .223? I don't think it really reduces the energy much. Do you have any data to support this? I had to look up what a Mk18 is, so I guess you're running it as a SBR. Definitely considering your point about the folding doohickey. Perhaps...

DO you have anything on the muzzle right now? Even an A2 birdcage? That'd be the LEAST I'd put on it, maybe one of the muzzle blast redirects they're selling everywhere...

AHA! There are problems with reliability with the shorter barrels? That's certainly something to consider! What kind of problems? Solutions for those issues? I know I can disassemble the upper and lower (I've built several AR-15s and an AR-10), but for a quick reaction tool I'd rather it be...

I agree wholeheartedly with all of the Pros and Cons you listed for each of those calibers - which is why I have the SKS for 7.62x39, and not an AR-15 in that caliber. I did find a list of velocities for .223 at Ballistics by the Inch (http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/223rifle.html) and they...

Wow - some good opinions out there! Let me answer in the order they came in: @1776 I think that's the direction I'm already headed, but I'm considering going to the 7.5" barrel for shorter length. The dual spring buffer tube kits are expensive, but a good idea. I'll add that to my idea...

I recently read a surprisingly well written article about the usefulness of AR pistols (can't remember which website). In the past I hadn't been a fan of the idea, especially since you couldn't set the thing to your shoulder, and I thought the ballistics of a .223 from a barrel shorter than 16"...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "2+1 AOW shotgun"? Is that like a Drilling 3-barrel (12ga SXS shotgun over smaller rifle caliber under) that's been cut down to less than 16"?

I used to do IDPA (now I think they call it GADPA) at South River Gun Club, and they ran a great match. Occasionally they'd add shotgun and carbine stages, and they regularly did BUG side-matches. Great way to get the adrenaline pumping is to hear that buzzer go and start taking out moving...

I WISH. I had possession of one for a couple days to take pics of it and list it for sale after a buddy who owned it died. The family sold off most of his collection and I was too cash-poor at the time to scoop it up. I did get some other cool stuff, though...
