I have used them on builds where I shaved the FSB like yours then later changed my mind. Went on without a hitch. and have stayed on for a few 1,000 rounds.. |

I have a BCM 14.5 that he is shortening to 10.3 for a CQBR BK1. I had shaved the FSB on this a couple of years ago. He said he can install a brand new FSB with taper pins, and I would not even notice the original pin holes. Apparently "What happens under the FSB, stays under the FSB" |

But at same time, developed a love for the A1 style You are correct about the retro forum costing you money. The flogging? I don't know... it's more like guidance. True, and while I appreciate the guidance I dont always have the money or tools to do a 80% as much as I would love to. One day I will, but for now my clones will have A2 lowers, but then when I transition to am A1 style, I'll have a surplus of A2 lowers I'll have to build. A viscious cycle. Anyways, I'll be posting pics tomorrow got behind today and didn't finish my lower but my parts from boywomder are coming in. Then its.just installing the barrel, and getting a BCG. Coming together nicely, still waiting on my package from zahal but did show it shipped last weel |

These are more aptly ported, as accurate and have a bit better ballistics not to mention they cost less than half as much. I did keep the DD BCG though. |
