I don't feel the least bit bad running a DD 10.3 :D. Now, if only they hadn't fucked up and decided to use that god awful proprietary FSB, I could get one for the Mod 0/CQBR B1 come replacement time. I mean, I guess I could buy a blank and have a fresh FSB pinned, but that's the kind of hassle and extra expense I prefer to avoid. Why can't DD just use a normal goddamn FSB? Makes that Crane spec BA 10.3" w/ FSB from Andro Corp very tempting.

View Quote That being said I've alway use them for fun; also people said you can't use them for precision shooting but truth be told I've shot very tight groups with them. But the thing is, fun is all that they are. For serious duty uses tho I prefer a slightly heavier trigger. I've been using SSA/SSAE for duty use but I never like 2-stage trigger on CQB-type rifle. This is where the SSP shines. Even thought it's not a light or fast as the 3G trigger it is by no mean heavy or has a long reset. I dry fired the 2 I installed today a bunch of times and I am honestly very happy and will be buying a few more of them for sure. ETA: all of my S3G/SD3G have what to me feel like a slight trigger slap when reseting; I think this is due to the very short reset. I don't feel that in any of my SSA/SSAE/SSF, Match DMR, and the newly installed SSP which is also another thing I'm very happy about. |

Sorry if this is the most autistic thing ever, but is it possible to pin and weld a surefire training suppressor? Would that make it over 16"?
I'm thinking this is the best option for a block ii if I cant get any tax stamps. |

If I pin and weld it will look exactly alike (minus the bigger hole in the can). |

And yes I live under their roof but I’m over 21. I’m not bummed about not getting the stamp either, some small compromises but I save boatloads of cash.

View Quote Well if going for a B2 CQBR I still say pistol lower that way you have the benefits of the short gun and not excess length with a fake can. But if it was me and didn’t want pistol I would do the 14.5” block II pin/weld muzzle device, that way I would get something out of the excess length (velocity increase) and not just dead space if you know what I mean |

Just slap a brace on the lower and go. ETA. Also, if you have your carry permit, you can just throw the sucker in the car, loaded if you want, and drive to range, or wherever. No need for permission to cross state line either. |

For a mod 0 with a cut carry handle, is the handle cut with a saw? Or is it milled nice?
Just want to know if the bandsaw will do or if I should throw it in the mill. |

So what else is kosher besides an A2? As an Electrician who abuses his wrists everyday I'm not very fond of the grip angle on the A2 lately. The Ergo is tit's on my MK12 and I know I've seen a picture of a Magpul Miad before which both of those are way more comfortable.
Edit: Retard alert, should have read page 1 again which I've looked at a 1000 times. |
