Well guys the wait is on, just mailed all my paperwork off today. Any ideas on how to make a years worth of time go by fast?

Yes. Make Grendel the caliber. You won't sweat the ATF wait, because you won't have a barrel.

Going to go with the ol 5.56.

Joseg and refleks, thanks for the advice :)

I really shouldn't have even gone out Saturday. I literally did all my shooting in 15 minutes. I crammed the range trip in between work and a social gathering, and was pretty ill-prepared. I was wwwaaayyyyy rushed... I don't even hardly remember taking time to control my breathing! The trigger blows... it's from a PSA kit. Heavy, a smidge of creep... maybe two smidges.

I'll fool with it some more after New Year's. I'm sure I'll shrink those groups at least in half with a less rushed trip to the range. After that I'll decide what to fix/upgrade next; either the trigger or optic.

I like it!

[Joseg]

if you guys are still looking for deals on uppers, sign up for PSA emails. they just posted again the ptac m4 with BCG and handle for $289. I swear I'm going to have to get off that list.. 

[tnguy]

I need to sign up. I keep seeing the good deals once they are gone. Not that I should be biting right now anyway.

Can someone post the PTAC website (If they have one).  Some dude in Nebraska is selling some "PTAC" .204 Ruger barrels on GB.  I am trying to learn a bit more.  All I find is some gov incubator agency in Kearney NE, and a gun-finisher in Crestview, FL.

I do not know if this is the same PTAC that PSA peddles.

BTW, is anyone familiar with these barrels & vendor?

[Garufa]

:mad: I really, really, really wanted this for my build but it's been out of stock from the few places that sell them for a couple of months. I think it would not only look great with the upper but I know they feel great, the PSA SQR forearm is very similar and made by the same people.

 

  Today I got the notice from AIM....

They only have 4 of them, but I already bought another ridiculously priced aluminum tube.

That is a great looking tube. Looks light, also.

Don't know the exact weight because it's not published but it's not as heavy as a full quad-rail and not as light as the MI SS Gen2 SS I ended up with.  The part where normal people put their hand is very thin...like 1.5 inches, then you have rail part where they are actually needed.

• 8.6 oz Rail Weight
• 12.1 oz with Barrel Nut and Screws

That's the 13" keymod rail, totally different.

 

I'm thinking the one I posted is a little over 16 oz with the nut.

Here is a quick question of no importance.

 

On the CMT site, I notice that for the selector switch, their lowers have the bullet/crossed bullet engraved in the metal. On ours, we have the words "safe/fire". Just wondering how come this is.

 

Not that I'm complaining. I prefer the words to the childish icons as I am both literate and not selling a big mac with fries. I'm just curious as to why the difference.

You'll also note that their standard lowers have grooves on the front of the magwell, useless as far as I'm concered but they look cool.  The terms of this, that and the other (can't think of the proper terminology at this time) resulted in a slightly different configuration.

Like grooves...and maybe selector markings.

Had a prob getting my bolt catch screws in on both my bolt catch's , the lower parts kits were from PSA. I had to very carefully widen the hole in the bolt catch , not a real problem , just thought I might share ; also not a problem with the lower itself , just the parts kit.

 

 

Otherwise both lowers are complete , the .300 BLK

 

 

and the other is an undisclosed Xmas present , can't post here.
