Lets see if i can de throne some people. lol my rifle has a crap load of custom parts so i guess i'm cheating to a sense.

[#6]
Not at all, even under the machine vise load. Usually when there is flex like that it will show up as you are machining and none of that happened. I cant squeeze it hard enough to flex it and my right hand is pretty strong from my younger years. lol

Any pics of the trigger? My barrel weighs 19.6 ounces and has all the advantages of a bull barrel but at the weight of a pencil barrel. The only thing is I have to baby it and not shoot too fast or I can ruin the carbon fiber. |

Had a chance to handle the lower and matching upper on Saturday after our 3gun match. Ryan of 2A Arms shot with us and had them with him. WOW!!! Amazing how light they were and how cleanly machined they were. He also had a titanium gas block with him. Simple, clean and unbelievably light.
For certain I will be supporting an Idaho company as they are making some amazing stuff. |

Neat...do CMC trigger pins work with the lower? View Quote Not sure.... We have had reports that our lowers don't play nice with pins that are over sized. We ream the holes, and regular "Mil-Spec" pins work perfect. Just be aware of it, should you try some pins that are known to be large. |

Dished faced heads that are fluted or rifle drilled from 7075 aluminum or 6v titanium pins would be pretty darn cool. Wes |

[#43]
They aren't oversized but they don't detent on the trigger. The pins have c-clips on one end. So basically is the width of the receiver the same as a milspec one? Or is it "beefed up" by widening like the Mag Tactical lower??
