Gen 1 lowers looked like this,  Then B&T did the Gen 2 lowers. The only difference here is they move the stock locking hole to right above the safety selector from right above the bolt release (both on the right side of the lower).

Interestingly, the Pro lowers do not have a hole in them for the GHM stock's locking insert, so while the stock would still work, it wouldn't "lock" in place. However, I will say that the GHM stock on my Gen 2 lowers "locks" in the loosest sense of the term. If you breathe on it, it will come out. Maybe that's why B&T doesn't worry about it anymore. Of course, everything I just typed could be wrong, but that's my understanding. Hope it helps. |

When I was buying my GHM45, the Gen 2s were coming out and I specifically had to hunt one down to use with the GHM folding stock. The stock isn't the most comfortable, but it is slim, light and folds out of the way so it works for my purposes. My guess is B&T saw more people using the telescoping stock/brace and the move to the Pro lower was seen as the smarter move even if they lost the ability to lock the GHM stock in place. |

Has anyone had issues with the folding charging handle? I got one a couple months ago and it wouldn't slide freely and was so tight that the first time I shot it, I couldn't get the bolt to slide back after a few shots. Didn't realize the fitment issue until I went tonthe range with it. I ended up having to Drexel out material and it works now, but was disappointed I had to do that and a $100 part also looks like ass now. Can't see that part in the gun but I know it isn't 100% right.
Also what are people using for qd mounts? |

Have the issues with the gen 2 improved? I’ve been thinking about a gen 2 with a Glock lower but if it doesn’t run with 147gr rounds or has feeding problems still, it’s a bit less appealing.

Posted in another thread that with a little dremel sculpturing I installed a cmc trigger that is best trigger I had on AR platform. Now I have added a VG6 Precision Epsilon 9mm brake and wondering if anyone has used this brake on their ghm9. All I have to do is recover and get it to the range. Finding I like the 24 round magazines for it. Thanks.

Nice SBR there with your can. I'm going to try to sell an AR15 locally to get a can for it. Might try to get the trilug. Mount looks easy to use and fast. What kind of can do you have? Thinking about getting a 45 so I can use it on different platforms.

What kind of can do you have? Thinking about getting a 45 so I can use it on different platforms. Thanks man. It's a Rugged Obsidian 45 in its short configuration. I really think 3-lug is the way to go as it doesn't walk off the gun like the direct thread suppressors will. It also keeps the overall length down too. This could be a way shorter package with only about 3 inches added to total length if I had a Silencerco Omega 9K, but I haven't gotten one yet. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mrozowjj: Probably off topic but you can absolutely call them to arrange a payment plan. All medical places will allow you to do some kind of monthly payment. I appreciate it but I'm probably going to just part ways with it. I went through a couple of manic days. This is way off topic for this thread but I've dealt with my fair share of depression throughout my life. One of the things I realized is that I often distract myself with materialistic nonsense to get away from the loneliness and that darker side of myself. I'm moving soon too so that'll be a good chance to rebuild my surroundings and by extension rebuild a bit of myself and address the areas and that aren't of myself great. Last couple of days allowed me to see what parts of myself, my past and my subconscious need to burn off like deadwood. . Guns are cool and all that but happy and fulfilling life surrounded by people that you love? That's what I'm really after.
