    DPMS LR308 Forearm for loading bipod

    Most of the "clamp-type" handguards are pretty sturdy in both design/construction provided that you get everything torqued down appropriately (and a little sparing use of loc-tite to keep things in place never hurt either). I personally like the mount-up and features of the Apex Gator-grip...

    Natchez won't sell to me

    It has ZERO to do with legality, etc., but is a part of their exclusivity/wholesaler agreement with certain businesses in the aforementioned states. Same BS happened to a friend of mine about 3-4 years ago while he was in Birmingham for work an extended position at UAB. He'd been a loyal...

    does anyone sell AR15 lower recievers with KNS anti walk pins and a Gieselle SSA already

    If you want a "new" lower, why not just buy a stripped one, an LPK minus the FCG (plenty of options out there for this), then assemble it yourself using the components you want/need, including stock/grip/etc.? If you have the knowledge/wherewithal to DIY a buttstock swap and FCG swap on your...

    POF 415 or LWRC M6IC

    My experience with the LWRC offerings has been limited so much that I won't bother making comparisons with any platform, including the POF offerings, but having run the hell out of several different POF P415 rifles/carbines over the years, I don't hesitate in saying that they are utterly...

    stag model 3

    If by "2 piece handguard" you mean some POS that you simply unsnap your MOE and snap on a "railed" type handguard, etc., you might as well rock the MOE as your results will be the same. If you want a decent handguard for use with a bipod, switch to a true FF handguard of whatever type/mfg best...

    LR-308/SR25 Firing Pin

    Here you go: Firing Pin, Chrome, Titan I'll second your "no real necessity" comment x1M!! ;) If you want one, have at it, but the SS of even the most basic .308 AR firing pin is more than sufficient to get the job done without issues. ;)

    6.5 Creedmoor barrels

    The JP barrels are proven performers in terms of their longevity, reliability and accuracy...doubt that not! If you want a heavier/larger contour though...you'll have to look elsewhere as the medium-weight profile of the JPs is as large as they make. As to the DPMS/Armalite compatibility...you...

    Gunsmithing HK G3 match grade barrel

    Its more a "joke" than anything re: the whirlwind/vortex of death/etc. with the HK rifles. They are truly excellent in every respect, BUT...they have a LOT of pitfalls, especially when it comes to the absurdity of costs of parts/work done on them/etc., as well as trying to get them to be...

    Thoughts on Criterion .223 barrel?

    As a very generalized statement, CL barrels will not be "as accurate" as their non-CL brethren, BUT...in my experience with the Criterion CL barrels, they are very uniform and produce great results. You aren't going to go win any matches with one of their CL barrels, but they are nothing to...

    does anyone sell AR15 lower recievers with KNS anti walk pins and a Gieselle SSA already

    STOP!! Do NOT use KNS pins with any Geissele trigger. (I feel like a broken @#$%ing record as this is at least the 3x time I've posted this in the last month). First and foremost...the KNS pins are the WRONG size for Geissele triggers (although the smaller KNS pins...0.154"...will fit the...

    MOD 1 upper OR del-ton?

    $400-450 won't get you much of anything in terms of quality, reliability, and accuracy. At that price point, you are stuck with bargain basement options like those you are already considering. For just a pinch more (~$500-550), you can get into vastly better quality with options like...

    6.5 Creedmoor barrels

    ^^ THIS!! ^^ The Fulton Armory Titan/Krieger 6.5CM barrels are absolute hammers (as is the case with any Krieger by in large)!! They are in stock now in both plain SS and bead-blasted matte SS starting at $599. See here: Barrel, 26", .308 AR, 6.5 Creedmoor, Bull, 1x8, Stainless, Plain...

    Gas piston retrofit

    Based on the questions you are asking, I'm betting that you haven't done much in the way of research into this conversion, its requirements/limitations, etc. AA has a ton of quality information on their site (see specifically the FAQ section) that will help to address your concerns, but in...

    MOD 1 upper OR del-ton?

    I VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE...THEY BOTH SUCK!! ;) What specifically (beyond 20" flattop) are you looking for in terms of features/options/performance/etc. and what's your total budget? Likely, there are better options out there that will get into your budget that will be vastly better than...

    Gunsmithing HK G3 match grade barrel

    Another poor soul sucked into the roller-lock whirlwind lost and never to been heard from again, eh?!?! ;) Purchase...yes. Adam Webber/HKParts.net usually have inventory of quality match barrels for both MSG-90/90A1 and PSG-1 clone rifle builds, including LW, Schneider, Douglas, etc...

    KNS AR15 Gen 2 Mod 2 Non-Rotating Trigger/Hammer Pins

    Bill has been VERY upfront with customers, both prospective and those after-the-fact with damaged triggers, that the KNS pins are a "no-no" with Geissele Triggers. First and foremost...the KNS pins are the WRONG size for Geissele triggers (although the smaller KNS pins...0.154"...will fit the...

    stag model 3

    The old velcro on the deflector trick isn't going to get done what you want to do. For hunting purposes where you have livestock considerations, environmental considerations (tall grass, lighting, etc. where even if you know where your rifle is throwing brass, finding it may be a different...

    Jp ctr-02 lower really worth 400?

    "Worth" is in the eye of the beholder. The ~$400 sticker is excessive unless you are just one of those people who insist on the collars and cuffs matching precisely on your rifle. They are nice and really do look great together (the CTR uppers/lowers that is), but not for me at least to the...
