Why not just go to Zev & try to locate one of their "Mega Ma-Ten" Handguards? I bought mine as a complete package. Everything fits together quite well.

It's an idea I've been considering. I do like SLR's where they have full picatinny top, and at the end at 3, 6 and 9 and the rest is all m-lok, even at the 45*. The Gieselle MK4 handguard spoiled me.Why not just go to Zev & try to locate one of their "Mega Ma-Ten" Handguards? I bought mine as a complete package. Everything fits together quite well.
You do know you can't safety this gun with the hammer down, right? I don't keep a round in the chamber.I was referring to your loaded rifle on fire. Expand the quote above my gif
Thats always been my procedure, but it seems way less common than I thought.That's why you recock it and store it with the selector lever on safe, regardless of whether or not you have a round chambered. Having a practice where sometimes the selector lever on fire and sometimes it's on safe is foolish. It's always on safe unless you're engaging a target and have positive control of it.

Seems to be a pretty common practice (though not universal) in shooting comps to remove mag, show clear, and drop hammer before holstering and exiting the shooting position.That's why you recock it and store it with the selector lever on safe, regardless of whether or not you have a round chambered.

For pistols yes.Seems to be a pretty common practice (though not universal) in shooting comps to remove mag, show clear, and drop hammer before holstering and exiting the shooting position.
True enough. But, I have to take on a bit of faith that the direct quotes from the source are accurate…Don't believe everything you see on TV or written by that rag...
My very limited experience is that USPSA- PCC division- is mag out, hammer down. That is an N of 1 match. Could just be a range specific rule as well. IDK.For pistols yes.
For all gas gun stages I've seen, it's mag out, safe on, bolt back, flag in.
I don’t know what goes on in spec ops today, nor do I know what was going on 30 years ago. And, the article seems to suggest that the doctrine, as described by Hooten (allegedly), may have been specific to the delta team in Mogadishu at the time.It's not. Walking around with your weapon on fire like you're describing is a safety violation of basic safe weapons handling procedures in any of the formative courses in high end SOF that produce assaulters. Hence why I explained it in the first place. You didn't figure something out by combining a movie quote and an open source article.

Most lethal copper mono I've shot is Hammer bullets. 120gr Hammer hunter for 18" 708AR (2880fps) and 137 Hammer hunter for 20" 308 (2980fps) I shoot TTSX too, but the difference with Hammers is the mechanism of injury design. 4 petals break away from the hollow point, leaving a 90 degree frontal faced shank that plows, causing more disruption hitting tissue on a flat face, rather than a rounded mushroom slipping though the meat.Ya. I think they really come into their own when you use the lighter bullets and use it like a big AR-15. There's a ton of great 308 bullets under 168gr. Bigger bullet selection than probably any other caliber excepting .224. I've been loading 155 SMK Palmas at 2690fps for distance stuff. Shot a 600yd match with it and was surprised how well they performed. Even trash 125gr pulled Blems shoot 1.5moa and do well out to 300 in short range AR competitions.
I also tested a few of the lighter hunting bullets like I mentioned. The 120's and 125's get up to 2900-3000fps. I shot them into pork shoulders at 150yds. All the bonded and lead cores bullets pretty much vaporized. All I found were the mangled jackets. I'm becoming a real believer of the copper solids. The 130 TTSX is tougher than the TAX TX's and retains a bigger shank while still peeling back a beautiful mushroom. It hits that meat hard.
This 16" 308W AR has become my favorite gun to shoot.

They don't perform like a frangible though. I lost no meat on a Watusi steer shot with the 137HH. Hornady Amax a very different story.I figured the mechanism of injury is the same. "Got shot in the face". Just kidding
I've found there's a ton of different opinions on what people want for terminal performance. I've grown to really hate blown up meat and bullet fragments everywhere in anything Im hunting for the meat. So much so the last 5 deer and antelope I've killed in the last two years have been headshots. In my opinion, if you want explosive bullets, lead cores bullets already do that. Not my thing.
With the pedals intact on the TTSX/TSX you've got a 200,000 rpm drill bit with double the frontal area.4 petals break away from the hollow point, leaving a 90 degree frontal faced shank that plows, causing more disruption hitting tissue on a flat face, rather than a rounded mushroom slipping though the meat.
Yea that is debatable. I teach my guys patrol ready for the ar is hammer down safety on fire obviously empty chamber full mag. When they take the rifle out of the rack they charge it and put the safety on or shoot depending on what is neededThat's why you recock it and store it with the selector lever on safe, regardless of whether or not you have a round chambered.

My thought has always been, I can't see from any distance if a rifles chamber is clear. I can however tell from quite a ways away if the safety is on.Why? Why would you not recock the hammer when clearing the rifle and return the selector to safe? That way every gun you encounter, that hasn't been in your hands, the base condition is safety is engaged. Whether the rifle is empty, it has a "dry husk" chamber, or is correctly loaded. There is no confusion that you think a loaded gun on fire is safe because you THINK it has an empty chamber. If you want to run an empty chamber on a gun you don't have positive control over ( hanging out in a rack somewhere) like you're describing, it's the same action. You just slingshot the charging handle. But now as the rifle is loading.... it's on safe. You don't have to load a gun unable to go to safe so you have someone charging the rifle on fire with their firing hand on the pistol grip.
This methodology is why you don't point guns at people. Loaded or unloaded. Every novice says , "Don't worry, it's unloaded!". Or so he thinks.
Having to take the safety off is an extra step and for most police officers used to guns with out safety’s it is a step that could get them killed. Their brain and finger is the real safety. Also you can check the firearms status even in the gun rack by trying to move the safety. If it won’t move from fire to safe the hammer is down and the gun will not fire. If you use the other method you don’t know for sure until you take the rifle out of the rack and do a chamber check. Do what you feel works for your guys but I prefer this method.Why?

Moderns and Premiums have all been great shooters for me. Sub-MOA 5-10 shot groups depending if my mojo is turned on that day or not!You guys sure have built some very nice equipment there!
I'm looking at the BA barrels. All of there offering in .308 & 6.5 CM.
Starting with there Modern series. What accuracy do you have with
this series. I have a 22" premium fluted in my cart. I just don't like
paying for looks on something that won't matter much. I'm looking
for real experience here.
Thanks,
Jim
