    Lightweight billet AR receiver

    That's what I'm thinking. I wonder what it actually weighs? The ribs of the upper look much thicker than the sidewall of a standard upper receiver.

    Lightweight billet AR receiver

    It's not even a good gamer gun. It's simply a Gucci gun, being different for the sake of being different. They are a big supporter of the Demolition Ranch youtube channel, so they get a lot of social media exposure. And people will buy them because it looked cool and some random dude said they...

    Smoking threadthread

    Had a family trip this weekend in Blue Ridge. No pics, but I enjoyed the hell out of a 2013 Cuban Punch Limited Edition and an Opus X Lost City.

    Forged Marks on Upper Receiver

    Their product was sub par based on the photographs I saw. Recently came up on Primary & Secondary. The gas key screws were incorrect and staking was very poor. Reminded me of some old school RRA stuff. I just don't understand why the BCG is so freaking hard for people to get right. It's probably...

    Forged Marks on Upper Receiver

    Who are these Range Tool guys? Never heard of them until recently. They were bidding as an oem supplier for bolt carrier groups and the sample I saw looked like crap.

    Ultrasonic cleaners - your input?

    Agreed on both points. For 22lr suppressors, they definitely are not a cure-all. And they will destroy some finishes, especially on aluminum. I detail stripped my M&P last year and dropped it in the US. The frame was nasty due to shooting suppressed. Frame came out spotless. WIN. My Apex...

    If you had $500 right now what would you buy?

    Hey, are you guys making a light compatible holster for the M&P9 Compact? A buddy of mine is looking and wants to buy local. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    JP silent capture spring or Geissele Super 42

    Sure, I get it. All my guns are set up the same. Vltor A5 buffer tube, Colt or Springco rifle length spring (doesn't matter which one) and an A5 buffer. Some of mine have and A5H3, some have the A5H2. But they'd all run fine with either. There are some specific design advantages in the A5 buffer...

    JP silent capture spring or Geissele Super 42

    Long story short, get the Vltor A5 buffer system instead.

    JP silent capture spring or Geissele Super 42

    No sir. I'm using the Vltor A5 buffer system. I'd use it over either of those two options. But a lot of guys are using the JP SCS and like it. I'm not a fan of adding additional parts and making things overly complicated. But at least they offer different spring rates to allow you to tune the...

    Is it worth buying a different lower for my AR

    That's stupid money, even for a low serial Noveske. I could see one of their china doll lowers selling for that much, but not a BLEMISHED Gen 2 lower. I could be wrong and some moron might pay that because they fell for the sales pitch. But I seriously doubt it will sell for $2k. Definitely not...

    You mean this one? My crappy cell phone pics don't do it justice.

    Ordered Sons of Liberty Gunworks M4

    Yep, you've been living under a rock. They're a small, high quality manufacturer. Based in Texas, I think? They do things by the book and spend a lot of time in R&D for their barrels. The guns are well made with quality components and appropriate gas port sizes. The owners are also easily...

    Any regular SET members do NFA engraving?

    Wait, were they trying their hand at manufacturing ammo too? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Floundering. That's a very good description in my mind. At least from my outsiders viewpoint. They need to pick a discipline and stick with it.

    Any regular SET members do NFA engraving?

    Custom 1911's is a losing market in my opinion, even worse than the custom AR / cerakote market. It's a small niche dominated by Wilson, Nighthawk, Yost, Combat Precision, etc. They'd be smart to focus on precision bolt guns. But with Accurate Ordnance in Winder, they've got some stiff...

    I believe that Dogleg also uses Dobbs. Basically, if you want it done locally, Dobbs is your best option. On the Southside, Brian at Quiet Riot Firearms has started a firearms engraving business called Full Metal Racket. He does diamond drag engraving, not laser. I've seen a few examples of...
