Free Rifle Bag with SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace
TNMTBik3r replied to whiterx's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Ordered the 11th, shipped the 14th, and I had on the 17th. Very nice rifle case. The brace is sitting in my closet and will probably be a couple months before I build the pistol. -
Sounds like good service. I am very pleased with the upper I received, post pics and a review of yours when it arrives.

I sent an email to them asking what the max height of the sight post is, and if it is removable. Cannot get the post to pull free, and it will not adjust to even close to flush with the ears. If I slowly flip the rear sight down about 1/3 of the way, everything lines up and it zeroes. These are MBUS clones and I read that they are shorter (or at least the front is shorter) than a standard front sight. It would be nice to use them since I bought them, but with the discount code I used I basically got the sights for free. Am considering a set of Diamondhead or Troy sights now but haven't decided if I want to spend that much.

May have to take back my praise of the sights....cannot get them zeroed. 8" high at 25 yards, with the front post topped out. I pulled everything off the rail last night and stuck a level on, appears to be straight across from rear of the receiver to the front of the rail. Going to research post height measurements and see if mine is topped out or just not adjusting properly (or built too short). This is a clone of the MBUS so should be able to get info on one of them easily. Probably going to send Radical Firearms an email and see what they say, but I scratched the sight up with pliers applying upward pressure to the post to see if it would move any higher so I don't expect a return. May buy a different front sight and see what happens with it, don't want to run just a red dot and don't want the dot and backup sights to be considerably off.

I want one if that counts. Probably going to be end of the year, but right now a SR1911 and the new Springfield ROC (range officer compact) top my list Big Ruger fan but I liked the feel of the original RO and the new one has a bit thinner grips and removed the adjustable sight.

Along with sleeping on the couch, add when you get mad and go sleep in the other bedroom, it is just more room for me to be comfortable. Several exes, my wife and some friend's wives think that is punishment but none of us mind it for a night. -
Damage Industries has a 30% off sale going now if you need some parts. Code is summer30 http://damageindustriesllc.com/products

Saw today that Remington has removed it from their website... Guess they saw the light and admit it is a failure.
-
Sights are easy to adjust, flip up smoothly and close easily. The aperture sight is stiff to rotate to the small aperture compared to a couple of other rear sights I have used, but honestly that may not be a bad thing. For the price I am satisfied but its not like I am asking a whole lot of them either.

Where are you located? Maybe can arrange a meet at a local range to get some instructions.

Here is my Pure Kustom IWB/OWB with Para Expert 1911. Super comfortable holster to wear and conceals great. And next up, a hybrid from http://www.firearmholster.com/ for my Ruger SR40C. Brown leather with burnt orange stitching, also a IWB/OWB. I just received this today and haven't actually carried with it, but slipped it on IWB and was very comfortable. Back is padded.

Free Rifle Bag with SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

Yeah it is call orders only. It is a quick call though, I did not have a wait and was off the phone in a couple minutes. -
Went out shooting today, very happy with both rifles. Dialed in the red dot at 50 yards, the ALG ACT trigger is very nice for the $60 range. I may throw a scope on top and see what this barrel can do, but I am pleased with how it shot since it is a 3moa dot and was shooting unsupported. I knew my 18" barrel was a shooter, and throwing the Geissele trigger and Magpul STR stock on just make it a lot better. 7 shot group at 100 yards, front end on a sandbag, shooting 69gr Nosler CC over TAC. I called the 2 low shots, so that is 5 in about half an inch (0.723 - .224 = .499). I need to throw this rifle on my Caldwell steady rest with a couple of sandbags to weigh it down and see what it can do.

Never know when will need to sew someone up with some of the idiots I see at the gun range. Fixed it now. :) -
Agree, original looks a lot better. I haven't shot one but ordered an original SB this morning.

Free Rifle Bag with SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

MSRP is $140. Sig has them for $125 now, about the same price I have seen at a couple other online retailers. I ordered mine this morning. -
Initial thoughts - well built, seem sturdy, they flip and close very easily. Taking my daughter to the zoo tomorrow so probably won't shoot them until Sunday and will test the adjustments then. I did move the adjustments and they seemed fine in the house.
-
Their prices are good. No hazmat but still have standard shipping. I thought about ordering some but the savings wasn't there - with shipping and tax my per box (on 8k) was only a $1 difference vs the store I buy from.
-
From what little reading I have done, the KAK tube is what I plan to grab when I start this build. I am probably going to spend a few months building it up, have to decide what barrel length I want to go with.
-
Very true! I got some great deals on parts during these builds. Magpul STR - saved $30 Geissele SSA-E trigger - saved about $60 Radical Firearms upper with sights for $300 The Wilson Arms 18" upper I have actually had for a few weeks now, but I got a good deal on it as well. I built up the lower this week though.

So about 10 months ago I did not own an AR. Had experience with them thanks to friends and family but did not own any myself. Well now I have two complete rifles built for different purposes, and have two stripped PSA lowers on the way (with plans to build one as a pistol). Rifle on the top is half of the original rifle that I built back in December. It is a PSA lower with Magpul MOE grip and stock. I have now installed an ALG ACT trigger (installed today, not in the picture) replacing the gritty PSA mil-spec. The upper is from Radical Firearms, 16" 1:7 carbine - if you have not heard of them before look them up, very competitive prices vs Palmetto and I think the upper looks better than the few PSA uppers I have seen. Haven't shot it yet but rifling is very clear and sharp. Free floated quad rail with ladders on 3 sides for comfort. AIM NiB bolt carrier group, standard charging handle with tactical latch. Have a Primary Arms micro dot with QD riser, and Radical Firearms polymer folding sights - set for lower 1/3rd co-witness. Also a Fenix light on the top. This rifle is built to be a dedicated home defense and general plinker at the range. Rifle two I just built up this past week. It is based on an Anderson lower, with Magpul MOA grip and STR stock - love this stock, very comfortable and great cheek weld. This lower has a Geissele SSA Enhanced trigger - very nice 2 stage. The upper is from JSE Surplus, and is an 18" 1:8 twist Wilson Arms stainless bull barrel with target crown, chambered in .223 Wylde. Free floated vented handguard - I needed a way to install a sling (did not want a rail mount on top of the gas block) so I used two wire key chains from Lowes - a lot cheaper than the Universal Wire Loop mount and so far is holding up well. Using the JSE BCG, and a BCM Mod 4 charging handle. Have a Vortex Crossfire 4-12x40 scope in a Primary Arms mount on top. This rifle is built to be a precision shooter, and probably be used for deer hunting as well.

I was coming to post that OS. I am calling tomorrow to order one - I have two stripped lowers on the way and plan to build one up as a pistol. Not sure if I will actually like the Sig brace (missed out on a couple chances to test one at the range so far) but this is too great of a deal to pass on.
-
Why not? I have a dozen others to read when time allows.
-
Never have but have read up on it. I'm only loading .223 and 30-06 and brass is easy to come by so I don't have a need to anneal.
