The DPMS "pattern" and parts for it tend to be more widely available. Decide on a "pattern" and just make sure every part you buy is compatible with that pattern by verifying it with product description, call the retailer, or ask on the forum.
Even then, sometimes you run into problems like...
My parents who live in MD bought a Cx4 Storm 9mm that came with 2 17-rd mags over 2 years ago. They bought it because it was not on the restricted list. What do/will they need to do to keep it legal under the new MD law, if anything at all?
Thanks,
Al
Nice collection! I've been very tempted to do a Slidefire build. I've also been back and forth with a 300BLK build, but the ammo just kills the idea for me each and every time.

Thanks! Your build is nice as well, especially with all the BCM parts. I have a midlength BCM barrel and VLTOR parts I'm gathering to do a build for my boy (he's only 5...months old, but hey, it's never too early right?:D).
I got REALLY lucky with the Vortex/ADM on ARF.com, by the way. Paid...
Philly has changed dramatically, especially in the past 10 years. I grew up in Frederick and came here for school then stayed. Been to 46 countries, 150+ cities and Philly is still one of my top 10 cities to be in. I love it here.
Let me not remind you that you are in MD. Now with the new...
After a lot of buying and selling the past 3 months, I have enough parts "left over" so I decided to do another build. This is my favorite so far. It's lightweight and has a lot of parts not typically seen.
This is essentially a "panic" build since every component was bought during the panic...
Curmudgeon, are you and your wife coming down for this? Haven't see you for a while. I'll be OC'ing, which I never do, to the Love Park event then march to People's Park for the Gun Rights Across America event...
Order placed. Will let you guys know how it turns out.
I went on Nikon's website to look at the free mount special and found a list of authorized dealers. It turns out that SportOptics.com has the M-223 1-4x Point Blank for $246.36 with free shipping. That's the lowest I could find by $40...
Thanks for all the info guys, I really appreciate it! A couple of questions since midway ran out of mounts and I just realized that the one on sale is BDC 600, not Point Blank.
1. Are you talking about Point Blank or the BDC 600? I'm guessing PB since it's "standard duplex with dot".
2...
I'm THIS close to getting the M223 from Midway because it's such a good deal. The only thing that is holding me back is sight acquisition speed compared to any red dot. Can either one of you expand on this? Mark, how "quick" is quick compared to red dots?
Thanks,
Al
Nothing wrong with the fine 1911 round or the revolver. Putting them together and making it the first I find it to be "unnatural". We can go all day on our opinion of this, but you're not gonna change my perception.
I've shot SA's before. I like them, but find them clunky to operate overall...
"A first" was the operative words. I'm sure the 625 wasn't Miculek's first. ;)
I think the 9mm/357 convertible is a great option (next on my purchase list). It's debatable though that I'd make an SA revolver my first. The DA revolver is more "modern" and is a more common, relatively speaking...
A first revolver in .45ACP? A bit metrosexual if you asked me :D
Shooting 357mag is nothing like shooting 45ACP. If you want to a true revolver experience, 357mag is a must.
I second Jimbob2.0 on a Dan Wesson Pistol Pak, although finding a Model 15 pack with 2 or 3 additional barrels is...
The OC/CC debate is beaten to death, but I wanted point out a legal perspective that has not been mentioned in this thread: that without making OC illegal, the cop cannot arrest you for accidentally exposing your gun. If you fail to adequately conceal your gun, cops in TX and FL, etc. CAN get...
Thanks for highlighting the new features! Those are all very cool ideas and modifications to enhance the look.
A note about these billet uppers, they have non-standard exteriors so they don't fit into the standard usual upper receiver vise blocks. I had to deal with that for the Sun Devil...
Some billet lowers are reinforced in areas where GI specs don't. The more expensive billet lowers usually have the integral trigger guards, which make them look a bit more seamless. I actually love the Seekins Precision lower, because of the added unusual factors of the mag well curve and a...
Thanks for your concerns. :thumbsup:
I do have quite a bit of experience teaching new shooters and my parents are the learners type, so I won't have to really worry about "authority" standing with them. I've "taught" them other subjects before as well.
