Hi CD,
Is there any block ii iteration that uses both the SF4P and the USMC KAC rear BUIS? |

Still trying to decide on what muzzle device to use on my Colt SOCOM 14.5 barrel. I'm leaning towards the closed-tine warcomp, but I'm worried it wont be long enough to meet the 16" OAL after pin&weld. Does anyone know for sure this will work or am I stuck the other 3 options?

You see however, the thing is no one cares until they do. And the only people who would care are the wrong sort of people, i.e. government types. To me the peace of mind and keeping all my firearms rights/not having to deal with big brother is well worth the low cost of a pin job. I wish we didn't have unconstitutional laws but we do. YMMV |

Maybe some select indoor ranges but who goes to those? The simple fact is, P&W'ing doesn't cost that much money, and you won't have to worry about the wrong person seeing your gun. Plus, if for whatever reason you did get hemmed up one day, you'd be able to buy a good number of AR's with the amount of money you'd spend fighting the case that could've easily been avoided. Gun laws like these are arbitrary and stupid, but until we can repeal the NFA and abolish the ATF, it's not smart to pretend like there aren't consequences to our choices. |
