Warrior Poet Society on YouTube did an excellent comparison of the common CCW insurance providers out there.

Well it took a minute with my older drill bits and hand drill but I was able to get a decent enough dimple on the barrel that I am not too worried about the gas block moving. Now just gotta do some test shots and I'll put some rocksett into the set screws and we should be good to go.

Yeah I’m not looking forward to doing it with my bench vise and a hand drill. But the barrel should outshoot me once it’s all done

I've got a faxon match series gunner barrel and a superlative arms GB.

I am in the process of getting all my bits and pieces together for my next AR build and the gas block I want to use is a set screw type and my barrel is not dimpled. I planned on getting the SLR rifleworks or KAW dimpling jig, but was curious if anyone had luck using a set screw GB without dimpling the barrel?

the UU kit turned out really nice, the color was a little off from the lower I had but overall was a really nice kit and a decent price point for a solid rifle. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the grip was a little chunky for my hands and the muzzle device. I swapped out a VG6 and sold the included tranquillo and came out $20 ahead.

I have one of the straight bows coming Wednesday for my next build. I built one of their ultimate upper kits for a coworker and it came with an MBT trigger and it sold me on them. They have been $87 for a while now and their shipping times are much faster, used to be months of waiting now I got my ship confirmation within a couple of days.

that is a great price for that setup. I paid about that for my complete Gen 3 G17 slide, so you got a deal.

there was an interesting discussion on the "Going Ballistic" podcast about this the other day and they tended to agree with you.

for me one of the biggest benefits in having an AR pattern PCC is the ability to get one that accepts the same mags as your pistol. This seems like a solution looking for a problem.

For when you want to really ruffle some feathers....

I would rather take my chances in bear country.

Looks like a solid solution. I wish I had a reason to need a bear rig, I just don't think I could justify it for evening strolls through the neighborhood.

I kind of like the FF rail ones, not sure what the price will be. I do wonder as AR-9 prices go down and options go up, which of these would be a better option. I do think the Ruger would look nice with a can on the end of it.

When I was buying my F-150 the amp research seemed to be the highest regarded auto step.

Oh I already found a "leak" I feel so privileged.

I have always wondered how is the retention on an OWB leather holster, especially for something other than a cowboy style deep pocket for a big wheel gun? It seems like there would be enough flex in the material that would allow things to come out pretty easily but never talked with anyone who has one.

How foolish of me to forget that fact, those guns really have a mind of their own.

Does this mean that if a person gets killed in a car accident that was 100% driver error the family of the deceased can sue the auto maker?

I had a Rem 597 in .22LR shoot pieces of a shattered extractor and spring at me a couple years ago.

I have an older lcp 1 and while I’m sure it would last 20k rounds I would worry about the barrrel and other moving parts at that point. The bigger question is who would want to put 20k rounds through one? They are not fun guns to shoot.

AR-9 pistol seems like it would be a fun little package. From what I’ve gathered the 14.5” midlength barrels are all pretty pricey

OK folks I have an itch to build another AR style firearm and am looking for some advice on what to build next. I would like to stick to 5.56 so I don’t have to acquire a bunch of different ammo and with my usage I don’t see an immediate need for anything larger or longer range. I have a rugged surge waiting in jail for me and an extra SBA3 brace laying around. I am thinking of doing a 14.5” mid-length build, or even an AR-9 to match my pistol ammo. Right now I have: 16” mid-length 5.56 with a 1-6 optic 10.5” carbine-length 5.56 pistol with an RDS (HD) 7.5” pistol-length 5.56 pistol with and RDS (beater truck gun)

I would like to add a Form 1 suppressor for this for a "dollars for decibels" build.

I was going to reference that exact location. I see them a couple times a year going down wilson pike in the morning standing in the field right next to the walking path.
