Quoted: That's really hot.  Is the Magpul Gen2 trigger guard something that isn't out yet?  The one on their website doesn't say Gen1 or Gen2 in the description, so that Gen2 in your list caught my eye. Overall, really slick rifle.

I call it the Gen 2 as opposed to the standard trigger guard which is Gen 1.  Sorry for any confusion.,

Quoted: Awesome! How much weight did you save getting it fluted? Does it make much difference on a 16"?

The fluting saved over a quarter pound.  4.2 Oz to be exact.  On a rig this heavy every little bit helps.  It is a moderately light rife in the day config.

The PRS stock add some weight as well.  The absolute beauty of the AR system is that this upper in the day config can be moved to a lower with a much lighter buttstock and the NightForce can be replaced with a red dot and all in a matter of minutes.

Ya gotta love the AR/M16 system for its unparrelled flexability.  If you think your gear thru in a concise manner you can just get a few quality uppers and lowers and configure rifles and optics for multiple roles with a minimum of expense.  Try that with an HK, Sig, AK or anything else out there but our baby

This upper can be configed from an Uber deadly night time suppressed killer to a quick and dirty CQB upper just by changing optics, taking off the silencer and putting it on say a Defender 2000 lower with a SOPMOD.  All in less than 5 minutes.  Gotta love AR's.

What is the site for the barrel and lower maker? It's BEAUTIFUL.

The barrels are available on my website: DENNYS GUNS/GLOBAL TACTICAL

The lowers are available from JN RIFLEWORKS: J N RIFLEWORKS

Fluting work was performed for me by GA Precision and the Dura Coat is applied by me in house.

Glad you like it

Holy Cow Denny, I knew it was going to be kick ass when you told me about it.  It's awesome buddy, we gotta get together and pop some coyotes  Oh um, I'll need to borrow your scope though

I didn't mess with John N's profile at all.  Just fluted it.  Most likely an optical illusion created by the flutes.

Quoted: Denny, Pretty nice......I've not heard much about Troy Silencers. What can you tell us about them? Bomber

The Troy Silencers are a reflex design, as is the SureFire and Ops Inc.  The back of the silencer is hollow and the blast plate directs some  gas into this hollow chamber to cool it the rest is handled by the baffle stack.  

The mount is one piece and uses two contact points to reference the silencer to the axis of the bore.  This achieves a couple of things.  One is that theses silencers have near perfect repeatability of zero no matter how many times they are mounted and dismounted.  Another is being the silencer slides over a good portion of the barrel POI(point of impact) shift is minimal and optics do not have to be adjusted much, if at all, to compensate.  This is very handy in the field.  On my SPR POI shift was around 1/2 inch at 100 yards.  Also reflex cans do not add near as much to the overall length of the rifle or carbine to which they are attached.  This is very important in the CQB role.

To mount this can you just remove you present flash hider, slide the mount on the barrel and then replace the flash hider, done.  The Troy can is compatable with all the current popular flash hiders including the YHM Phantom line, the SEI G6 Vortex and of course the M16A2 or A1.

In short they are quiet, accurate and repeatable.

Quoted: Are the Global Tactical Lowers available yet?

According to Mark at CMT/Stag we are only a week or so out.  In time for Christmas.
