One piece of CNC steel? If so make the handle hollow to reduce weigth.. As long as you keep 2-2.5mm of wall thickness you should be fine Any reason you didn't hollow them out? Extra machine step extra cost? Not a huge deal, just curious. I still like it. |

Some more thoughts. Got time to get out to the range and use the current setup. The Manticore charging handle is nice. Easy to use.
The ACR stock brings the cheek weld up enough I am going to have to install the 1/3 co-witness riser on my MRO to get the gun to aim naturally. I find myself looking through the top half of the optic with low riser installed. Also the ACR stock hits the sling plate enough to keep the stock fairly out. I think I'll trim the sling plate so the stock sits more flush. |

For you guys that got the earlier pistols with 14x1LH threads, is anybody shooting suppressed by using the KNS thread adapter, or is that a no-go due to concentricity?

Anyone using the KAK Industries arm brace adapter? Mine seems to have a pretty loose fit against the rear block making the brace too loose for my liking. The rear block sits tight in the Bren but that second piece that locks into the rear block and held in by the spring release button fits sloppily and has play. Anyone experience the same?

They say the same about ACR handguards, yet they are all too happy to do MCX, MPX, and Galil ACE handguards.
I can't imagine the ACE is more successful than the 805 or ACR. And I'd be careful about tooling up to building anything for Sig because it'll be obsolete after the inevitable |

Oh Remington, it's the only good thing you have left, release your revisions to us plebes and let us rejoice. Ya Sig...just shaking my head. Definitely agree with you on the SCAR vs 805. Chris Bartocci did a good SCAR vs. Bren video recently on his youtube and he outright prefers the Bren. And then we get back to Bren vs Scar bbls....$499 vs $999+  Hoping to grab a Bren soon, just keep going back and forth on whether to get a pistol or carbine, and then whether I want to do FDE or black.

Does anyone make a replacement for the metal "plate" that has the sling attachment points at the rear of the receiver? I'm wanting to SBR mine eventually with the ACR stock but it looks like the stock won't close completely due to the sling loop being in the way?
Guessing I could dremel it off but was hoping for a "cleaner" solution. |

Very large numbers of them exist, I know this for sure as I have a guy who all he has done for quite a while is put the Bren 805 sidefolder blocks together.
