 The PDW Being Slept On | Strike Industries SMC Alpha Mk2 ARFCOM reviews team looks into the new Strike Industries SMC Alpha MK2 chassis system. Read Full Article » |

Now THIS is hotness!

Quoted: That thing looks like a bag of smashed sphincters. It looks like you got an 8yo stoned, had him read a GI JOE comic while watching a direct to DVD sci fi movie, and then asked him to draw a gun. I'll stick with my Raider.

Quoted: Unfortunately yes   The recover tactical s pro is ugly as shit but looks like a more practical solution. I think they are shipping them now but I'm waiting for some reviews by someone other than influencers (no offense). Their 20/20 brace is cheap and seems to be well liked for what it is. |

The B&T is currently the best option for replacement chassis on double stack guns like the G19 and 17, the 320 is a dead horse and I’m sorry that Strike invested in the platform. That’s not to say that other setups like the 20/20 braces aren’t worth having. If you want a PDW that carries like a handgun, the king is still the USW-A1…. Crazy good gun that’s trying to be a handgun and not a PDW you need a case for. The -A1 and the 365 Flux are the only two guns on the market you will actually be able to wear under normal clothing.. |

I’ve also got one out for T&E/Review. Some pros and cons to it, at this point I like the Raider more. Definitely an interesting modular system, though. I’ll have a video out at some point. Attached File |

Quoted: Starting 1 January, stocked pistols will become a normal thing. It's going to be interesting to see where the industry goes w/ this concept that was disrupted in 1934. Concealable stocked pistol in 5.7x28mm? Yes, please. On one hand it will be cheaper, but I have a hard time seeing people going through the NFA process if they they haven't already. The hardliners that were already doing the NFA stuff without governmental approval won't jump in after 1/1. I hope there are a lot more SBRs, cans, and whatnot next year just for the "common use" argument to have more teeth and we can finally actually get rid of the NFA, but I am still a bit skeptical on what the end result of the cucked HPA/SHORT act will be. |

That is a fun way of describing it. I am of the opinion that all these same kinds of handgun add-on chassis for braces / assorted accessories look like this description. I can appreciate the appeal for a platform to get as extremely compact/tiny when folded up as one can get, it just doesn't speak to me. I prefer any dedicated, designed subgun/pcc i.e. MP5/Scorpion/GHM etc over a modified handgun. That said, enjoy what makes you happy, to each their own. Enjoy :) |

It wasn't the yardage we wanted, but it was still a 1st down and we still have the ball. $0 Form 1 & Form 4s are huge. Buddy has a can he no longer wants? $0 transfer. For the 1st time ever, there will be a significant market in used SBRs & cans. ATF keeps saying every baffle, even every wipe is a suppressor? Not a problem, here's my 87 $0 wipe stamps. |

I will definitely be doing some form 1s after 1/1 |
