why not.
bcm kmr alpha worth it? Seems like it is with the dead simple install. Anything better cheaper?
>>29339695
to give anon some basis in calling /arg/ cancer, apparently
>>29339736
MI has similarly priced rails. i like my kmr-a
>>29339747
MI rails are a solid budget-ish choice. Their rails are cheaper than a lot of the gucci companies, and some are lighter as well.
>>29339187
I thought everything out near sultan has been shut down? Marysvillefag here
>>29339747
>MI has similarly priced rails
are they better? easier to install? why mention them?
>>29339503
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mods might be absolutely fucking useless, but you got banned because you violated the rules the same as the cretin you were calling out, AND you were stupid enough to do it with a tripcode on.
mlok or keymod?
>>29339793
Cockmod
>>29339767
nope this spot is still open senpai, just make sure you have a discover pass
47.922164, -121.753788
>>29339776
i dont know about them being better just giving you a similarly priced rail to look at. people who have em here like them.
>>29339815
>47.922164, -121.753788
It's not a shit hole like all the Darrington spots is it?
>>29339793
MLok seems to have a wider and cheaper array of accessories currently, and is gaining ground rapidly.
>>29338705
hey what flash hider is that
for shooping purposes
>>29339843
this, also MLOK rails look better. Keymod looks like shelving to me.
The Chipotele was dank.
Extra meat is a joke because they skimp you on all the veggy stuff and it ruins the dynamic.
>>29339842
i am unaware of said darrington spot. people leave their shells and occasionally cardboard targets and some trash behind. its a little past 100yds.
i mostly go during the week cause there is normally no one else there.
>>29339793
Keymod is my vote.
If you're willing to lend me an ear I've got a long winded argument for why I think you should select Keymod.
Anyone ever used one of those H&K steel magazines? I paid $22 for one today.
>>29339893
Yeah.
I don't like them.
>>29339893
I'm interested in your case for keymod.
>>29339908
Oh now you've fucking done it.
>>29339914
meh. I dont like keymod or MLOK too terribly much so I dont really have a dog in this race. I just think MLOK looks cleaner.
I'm open to all opinions. :^)
>>29339929
Yeah, but his theory about Magpul destroying the negative mounting space market is fucking tinfoil autism.
>>29339790
What's the barrel length on that?
>>29339842

I unfucked my phone. Droid turbo lcd display replacement is a real bitch.
>>29340011
What AFG is that on your rail?
First AFG for Keymod I have seen that doesn't make me want to remove my fingers with a box cutter.
>>29339902
Thank you for the input on the H&K Magazine. Any particular reason? I still have the receipt and can return it. Should I do so?
>>29339908
I will dump in a second.
>>29339914
Lol it'll be quick I promise.
>>29339952
Almost as autistic as Dag. Love you bbz.
>>29339994
I appreciate that. Some dudes are tight lipped about their spots. Looks great. I don't get out on highway 2 that often but I may have to make a special trip to scope it out.
>>29340033
The Einherjar battle yesterday was pretty fucking good. I was rocking the 8 foot glaive and between me and a couple brotherhood guys we had the entire left side of the field locked down and the other team couldn't push the objectives flank.

odinworks. its more handstop than afg.
someone shoop my background plz.
>>29340037
>Some dudes are tight lipped about their spots
this shit pisses me off. an anon on /k/ told me about this spot. stop at the sultan bakery on your way out, shit is delicious
>>29340061
Ah, I see.
Well I still like it.
>>29340075
Oh I know about the bakery from my snowboarding days at Stevens. Good shit for sure.
Even guys I've worked with for 15 years won't tell me where their spots are. Afraid of us trashing their spots or something I don't know.
>>29339983
14.5" with a pinned muzzle brake
>>29340033
I got issued 7 of them when I deployed to Iraq.
They were brand new in their packages.
4 of the 7 didn't fit the magwell, and of the three that did none of them cycled reliably. They were a significant downgrade from my beat to shit aluminum Colt GI mags.
I have no explanation for why 3 of the 4 didn't fit, they seemed okay. I tested them in several rifles and none of the rifles took them. The fourth had obviously gotten squished at some point in shipping, it wasn't square any more and had a pretty significant crease in one side where something heavy had been sitting on it.
As to why the remainder didn't feed well, I have a couple theories.
>they weigh SIGNIFICANTLY more than an aluminum STANAG, to the point where it might have been camming the mag and dropping the nose of it. As a side note they also weigh a bit more than the C-Products coated stainless mags.
>the ones I was issued didn't have anti-tilt followers
>the springs were noticeably weaker than my used&abused aluminum mags, which were about 2 days older than dirt.
>>29340128
>Even guys I've worked with for 15 years won't tell me where their spots are.
jesus. there used to be a few more spots near sultan and one outside of monroe but they are closed now.
i need to find somewhere that goes past 100yds

>>29339386
That optic looks like dildos.
I like it, but put a mag in and take another pic.
>>29340139
I should also mention this was 2006, which predates the HK 416 so they were definitely intended for AR's/M4's. They were new/recent production, as far as I could tell they hadn't been sitting in a warehouse somewhere (the bags were still clean and clear, which never happens with mil-issued shit, and the shipping oil on the mags was still nice and runny, normally that shit turns into a thick syrup after it sits in a warehouse a while).
To this day I don't know if the Army got a bad batch or what, but out of my squadron maybe a third of the deployment-issue mags, which were all HK, had to be DX'd while we were still in Kuwait.
>>29340179
Interesting. Do you prefer shooting thumb break with a VFG to using an AFG? Because right now I do the former, and am considering the latter for my next build.
I've decided that short of a light, this rifle is where I want it, and I want a different rifle to put a magnified optic on.
>>29340184
Never even heard of it.
Probably don't even have it where I'm at.
>>29339929
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the word document in which I have the well prepared argument presented.
The basic gist is that Magpul has a huge financial incentive to monopolize the emerging universal mounting market. I portray a narrative in which Magpul sees the truly open source, patentless and ownerless Keymod release, then decides that there is a lot of money to be made in the emerging market. In response to Keymod (and this fits the chronology) Magpul releases M-Lok to directly compete with Keymod, arguing that Keymod's inability to be adapted to polymer makes it non applicable.
Magpul patents and copyrights M-Lok, but is currently giving away licenses for production free of cost. Cordan correctly identified a passage in the M-Lok FAQ document in which Magpul commits to keeping the M-Lok licenses free. "The system will remain free and open for all to use, providing items are built within the
published standards".
I believe that this commitment is weak, especially considering the massive profit that could be made in the next decade if and once the industry settles on a universal standard. I claim that if M-Lok is chosen, Magpul will simply begin to charge for licenses since it is the sole proprietor, or it might deny licenses to companies which will make contracts with the DOD, so that DOD contracts for M-Lok products all go to Magpul.
Magpul is a fantastic company, but is undoubtably already the largest firearms accessories producer in the entire industry. There is no reason for us to support their expansion into a position of monopoly over the next universal mounting option. We, as firearms enthusiasts and consumers in the firearms accessories industry, benefit from a more varied and diverse market with a multitude of companies offering different products. A Magpul monopoly on the next universal mounting standard excludes such benefit.
>>29340270
I like your rail covers, but your AFG honestly makes me wish I had a terminal brain tumor every time I see it.
Either way I think Magpul is good people, and they wouldn't do a hostile takeover like that, and they are committed to more options in the market, as opposed to less.
Plus, it's just bad business to start charging for a license that was always free.
>>29340209
How do you like the the PSA handguard?
I'm thinking about getting one of those uppers sometime when they have them in stock again.
>>29340174
I remember years back sultan basin rd was the fucking hot spot. Spots everywhere. Stopped even trying to go out that way since all the signage went up.
I can't help with coordinates on a long range area. All of the 3 spots I frequent are maybe 80 yards at best...
>>29340209
i rest my thumb parrel to the rail, not tob. I just find it less fatiguing than the costa grip i was doing and easier light manipulation.
fuckin' gc keeps emailing me
>>29340051
Glaives are fucking OP. That sounds awesome though. The Dagorhir scene in Colorado is pretty weak, and Bel is a lot more popular for some reason. Bel really isn't my thing though. Light weapons and too much role play.
>>29340139
Damn thank you very much for your input dude. I'm returning it ASAP. Also thank you for your service.
>>29340202
Forgive me what does 'DX' mean?
The one I've got is pre 2004 manufacture. I bought it because it was steel. I picked up 8 brand new made in Israel steel mags at the gun show this weekend and they feel really good.
>>29340270
Magpul did however commit to keeping M-Lok free to use. I don't trust this commitment though because it isn't legally binding. I don't see why they can't just release the patent and copyright. Cash rules everything.
>>29340297
I like it a lot. Solid and comfy. I'm only worried I won't be able to re-mount it properly when I have to replace the barrel. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
They mostly seem to make it in the Keymod version now, but if the mounting system doesn't bother you I would go for it.
I think there is an upper with a .300BO barrel for $350 on their site right now if you don't mind swapping your barrel. There was also one with a 24" barrel which you could either replace or send off to ADCO to get trimmed to 17" and open the gas up a little bit because it's rifle length gas.
Haven't seen it in a 5.56 16" combo in a hot minute. But it's a pretty good deal. I got mine flaming hot and it was $280 for the upper without a BCG or CH.
>>29340328
I go back and forth, but I find with my gorilla hands that shooting without wrapping my thumb around the grip, that it naturally goes TOB anyway.
I don't do the dorky arm extension though.
>>29340310
yeah they have signs and gate on pretty much all the old loggin roads. no signs at this spot and i have spoken to the sheriff a few times. as long as ya have a discover pass you are good to go.
generally the people out there are nice/not retarded. one time i had a guy walk halfway down range and start shooting cause he wanted to shoot 50yds and not 100. i just left, haven't seen him since
>>29340333

48.343222, -121.532511 there's 2 on this road, right off the road. One needs a discover the other does not
>>29340296
The AFG is dragon dildo H.R. Giger status gross. It really does feel good though. I actually replaced those rail covers with BCM ones. They looked cool but are airsoft ones.
Magpul is made up of good people. It is a company though at the end of the day. I would jump on the M-Lok train in a heartbeat if they released the patents and copyright.
>>29340368
those silicone covers look dumb
i should have left it like this.
>>29340409
as long as it works, I gives a fuck what it looks like
>>29340383
D60 I think you should do this one.
>>29340368
Nice rifle!
>>29340344
DX is an acronym, not really sure what the official meaning is but it's where you turn in broken/worn out shit and get a replacement.
Stuff collected via DX does go to DRMO, where it is repaired if possible/economical, destroyed if it's not salvageable, or auctioned to the general public if it's serviceable/repairable but not worth the money.
>>29340344
Really? All the Bel guys out here are cross gamers because the rule set is pretty much the damn same. I typically find the average skill level higher at Bel events too.
In my experience Bel fighters are also more aggressive and swing hard, but a decent amount of them fall for that 12 ounce pixie stick shit. I'll generally take any hit with decent force though.
>mfw some kid with a spear was trying to call shots on me because he sucked
I fucked up a call on my armor once, but corrected myself almost immediately and apologized.
I have so much fucking staying power in open field battles with all the armor I have on. People will charge me and I'll just take them to the ground and hold them until a team mate can backhack them.
>>29340383
Shouldn't have painted over it.
>>29340391
Shame they were airsoft. Did you test drive them to see if they weren't shit? To be fair the airshitters abuse their stuff more than some of us do a decent amount of the time.
if my pressure washer wasn't broken, i would strip my gun and do another camo

>>29340446
Same anon. Not past 100 unfortunately just kicking down spots if you ever were out in that area or wanted to share with other anons. I've also met nothing but cool people out in this area
>>29340458
this is my favorite pic of your gun
>>29340461
oh cool, if i am ever out there ill check em out
>>29340435
Same here actually. The Bel fighters in CO outclass the Dag guys in general. They hit plenty hard, and fight aggressively, but I don't like the mechanics of the light weapons or the lack of a blade edge. The weird backhanded shots just don't look anything like actual sword combat. That's just my take. I honestly suck super hard at fighting.
I've got a decent set of 1/4" leather but I rarely use it because our practices are never more than 10-15 people. I imagine armor at a big event is fun.
I took them for a couple of hikes and put about 400 rounds through the rifle with them on. They held up just fine but I can tell that the BCM ones retain much more securely, and are probably rated to a higher temperature. They were kinda rubbery.
I can't wait to go camping and shooting this summer.
>>29340523
Here in Ohio the skill blend is pretty good. I try not to judge your skill based on game because I used to rip the Ampt guys but then one came out and was cutting me apart.
You need to learn how to do a wrap shot. My fucking cheese shot is I'll punch your shield on your sword side with my shield, and flat wrap you across the back.
You would see them fight differently with an edged blade. But the only thing I bitch about anymore is pussy archers. I hate archers at big events. They pretty much ruin my fun. That's why I love fighting in the rain so there are no projectiles.
Here's a video of my killing a guy at his knights trial with my cheapo shot. If the link doesn't take you to the right time click to 3:05

Nope, but considering I just found the full movie on Youtube I'll watch it tomorrow.
>>29340352
k, good to know
One of the main reasons I was interested was the combo of the FN barrel and a handguard that looked decent at PSA pricing.
If they don't restock I'll probably just build my own with a mk 8 or maybe a battlerail in m-lok.
That show was fucking great.
Forgot to wear earplugs though. EEEEEEEEEEE
>>29340594
Is that you in red?
Looks like a fun time. Colorado's winters are long.
>>29340688
As far as I know my barrel is not FN. It's a .223 Wylde chamber with 1/7 twist, midlength, and it's melonited 4150CMV.

I haven't consistently practiced for over a year. Started fighting Dag in 2010 though.
Like I said, Colorado's winters are long.
I just ordered an Anderson premium LPK soley to get the stainless steel trigger. I felt on at my LGS the other day and it was fantastic. Clean crisp break with a heavy trigger pull, and an ergonomic trigger surface. If the one that I ordered feels anything like the one at the LGS I'll be happy, plus and extra LPK.

Nightwish
Opening bands were Delain and Sonata Arctica.
It was great, I'm definitely going to grab a ticket to amon amarth next month on my next paycheck.
>>29341118
Thats out-dated, you can tell since they dont give a description.
Besides i was just there today and they didnt have anything like that.
>>29341129
Wow fucking up my ands and ans. Time to go to sleep.
>>29341149
you went to the La Vista, Nebraska location?
>>29341159
Yes, i live in Omaha.
>>29341163
weird. why you want an ap lower?
>>29341133
Haven't heard of them. I'll have to check them out.
Amon Amarth is coming to Denver pretty soon. Lamb of God and Clutch are coming to Red Rocks as well.
>>29341050
AP discontinued them just like they did the Pew Pew lowers, limited editions
one of the benefits of living in WA: no shortage of AP lowers
>>29341177
Im not that guy looking for an ap lower.
Iv just googled guns and found them at cabelas, but its been sold for 6 months.
Its also just funny since i was there today looking throught their over priced shit, gun library guys are great to work with tho.
>>29341215
where do i get one? i have rainier and want something local for my next
>>29341254
oh neat. yeah i have dealt with them a few times, most of the staff at cabelas is nice
>>29341262
rainier is located in auburn, so theyre local, Aero is down in tacompton
if you specifically want an AP15, good luck finding one, few people are getting rid of those and the pew pew lowers because limited edition
as far as any old aero lower, most shops stock em, though they sell fast, the shop i work at has a few in stock
>>29341181
>Lamb of God
Their live shows are disappointing from what I hear. Love their music, but their voices are going
all hearsay tho so take with a gram of salt
>>29341304
i know where they are. im now guessing when you said AP lowers you mean aero precision gen 2 and not AP like the anon was looking for
>>29341181
I've wanted to see Nightwish since~2005, but either lacked the independence or knowledge of a tour.
So fucking glad I went.
And I might give my pistol a try on the way back to Georgia tomorrow morning.
++I bought a MDADS and B5 QD endplate last night, and they should be here before the end ooh the week.
>>29341050
If you REALLY want one...
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=548812554
>>29341342
if anybody is looking for an AP15 lower, they should have grabbed one when they were still being produced, considering how few people sell stripped lowers, and with them being limited expect people to charge over MSRP
as far as getting one goes, somebody in an FB group may be willing to part with one provided they havent done anything to it yet
>>29341181
Also keep in mind if you look up Nightwish, they've had 3 singers since they formed, current singer is Floor Jansen, their show at Wacken 2013 shows her off wonderfully.
https://youtu.be/7IkfgWwTzVc
She's got the look, the presence, and the voice, the best so far in my opinion.
>>29341390
people listen to this crap? lmao
>AP15 lower
what's so special about these?
>>29341419
roll mark is neato
>>29341404
Oi fuck u m8
Nightwish is one of my favorites.
>>29341419
some people like special rollmarks, theyre made more special by being limited runs so theres not a lot of them out there
most of the ones ive seen are SBRs
>>29341384
>if anybody is looking for an AP15 lower, they should have grabbed one when they were still being produced
Because everyone who has an interest in them now were in the market when the runs were made? Don't be a dumbass.
>>29338835
I'm thinking of getting that tail, but I'm jealous that it won't be flush with my upper like that. Looks so damn good.
>>29341607
>Because everyone who has an interest in them now were in the market when the runs were made? Don't be a dumbass.
if they werent, they should have been, because theyre probably not going to get one anymore
if anybody is a dumbass its the people who think they can still find one
Got my rail covers and my AFG M-LOK adapter in. Waiting on the AFG, CTR, and MOE+.
Stealth gray looks so damn good on black.
Why doesn't Magpul sell PMAG's in their gray :(
90% of my new upper will be here by this friday, should have the funds to order the last couple parts tomorrow.
Need to shoot my SPR as well to make sure the Point of impact hasnt changed from my wacking on it and swapping gas blocks...
AOR 69 FTW
>>29341813
I like your paint job
>>29341813
Learned basic technique from a USMC SS, but improved with some color theory.
A gun is horizontally long, best to break up its pattern with hard edges and the occasional vertical highlight IMHO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DckZYJ2Yek0
If anon wants to do the same basic theory is this.
1. Bottom layer is high light layer and least prevalent layer
2. Add patterning material (I use string for control, though orange netting, chicken coop wire, leaves, tall grass, and USMC laundry bag netting has also been suggested to me)
3. Cure between each layer with the heat of the summer sun or a heat gun.
4. If you fuck up, don't sweat it. The beauty of Krylon is that is fairly strong when cured, but easily removed with Acetone and especially when it hasn't cured.
>>29341831
Thanks mang! I need to paint more, but it being the start of spring I'm feeling lazy. Would just rather the summer heat and rays cure my gat for me rather than deal with curing between layers with a heat gun and commandeering the oven
>>29341788
My paintjob best job.
Not going to do the fucking howling coyote thing on the new stock if it ever fucking arrives.
>>29341867
nice target stands. did you weld those up yourself?
>>29341856
What's your take on this one? I was Army long range recon, but let's be real here you Jarhead snipers know camo better than us army guys.
>>29338771
Vortex SPARC 1 (not 2) for $115 or naw
any other nearsighted bros that can't see shit with iron sights or red dot?
Already have a 1-4x scope and just ordered a 3-9x nikon prostaff for even more comfy being-able-to-see-target plinking.
Also, I figure if anything is too close for 3x magnification, it is so close that you should be reflex-shooting it and mag-dumping anyway. That's the benefit of a 30-40 mag and a really low recoil system.

>SPARC not durable
Are you just on a mission to act like a fool today? First /akg/ now /arg/?
SPARC has some solid reviews, its not aimpoint durable, but its also half the price of a PRO so what do you expect
http://www.recoilweb.com/vortex-sparc-ii-the-dot-that-would-not-die-67267.html
i can't decide if i should load my gear and rifle in my truck. i really doubt some shit would happen here but i am all keyed up on paranoia now. my girlfriend is currently living 40 minutes from where the bombings happened.
>>29343132
I've heard from a few people that one of the models (can't remember which one) has a problem with the front lens breaking and falling out of the optic, though that could be someone blowing smoke up my ass. Either way, I'd rather have a PA than an older model Vortex.
As for /akg/, I fail to see how shitposting someone with UTG gear is making a fool of myself.
>>29343134
Worst comes to worst you take it out later.
>>29343134
what you need to do is remove muslim, be the spark that starts the fire to cleanse Europa.
>>29343134
or just do whatever, if it's a bimb, your gun won't stop it but if it's like paris, you could save many lives.
>>29339163
what optic is that?
>>29343134
You a Belgianbro? Stay safe man, although I wouldn't worry about it unless you're in a major city.
Anyone ever use a ferfrans concussion reduction device? I put my J comp on yesterday, and it got me curious to how effective/useful the FF CRD actually is.
PS- the J-Comp maybe the best cheapest upgrade I've ever bought.
PSS I remembered to flip my pictures the right way, I think.
>>29343352
I haven't used it, but I saw a video of someone shooting next to a sheet of paper and it looks really effective

>>29343376
http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery/?htids=6456&sort=created
>>29343390
The rail is great, but it has a small internal diameter, so you may have trouble if your gas block is clamp on or just bigger than average.
>>29343376
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tungsten+ar15
>>29343405
Yeah I was just googling tungsten color to compare and didn't come up with anything worthwhile. I like this color, actually seems a bit darker than wolf grey but I'm worried this just looks so good because its billet.
>>29343390
costco=kmr
>>29343437
The only thing that makes those receivers different is the ridges on the magwell.
The color looks amazing on everything.
Especially if it's darker
>>29341343
Nice man. Did you order a Primary Arms MD ADS? It is a pretty solid sight. I'm probably going to order another once it is in stock.
>>29341404
That's just like, your opinion, man.
>>29341867
Nice fucking rifle. Damn.
>>29342076
I would say no. I bought a Sparc II for my pistol build, but returned it. I've got a PA MD ADS for my rifle and I'm simply going to buy a second.

God that roll mark is awful
>>29343650
Yeah but you have the option of not getting it, so that's cool
>>29343646
Only if you do a great job on it.
Otherwise it ends up like your pic, and looks like shit
>>29343361
Coolio. I'll have to look into it.
I also got these noveske panels on. Everyone was right hen they said they were a bitch to get in. I had to take a mallet to them to get them to actually pop the locking tabs down into the keymod holes.
>>29343650
Thankfully they offer it without the logo.
But holy shit, $300 without a selector, trigger OR takedown pins?
>>29343668

>>29343646
I don't have a CNC
>>29343668
I like the way the look but they wouldn't fit at all in on my handguard.
>>29343678
Such is life in the Gucci lane. Personally the best option seems to be buying the upper and lower for $469
>>29343758
I just checked the prices on SR-15 lowers... now the STT lower seems downright reasonable.
>>29343769
SR-15 lower are the tits. My only complaint is the proprietary castle nut, and the KAC's trigger isnt quite as good as my Geissele.
>>29343708
Thanks for finding that. I'll have to watch it on my break.
>>29343741
Yeah. They don't mesh with a lot of looks. I slipped my BCM keymod covers in behind mine to give me a little more grip on my bare spots.
What are some opinions on TiN coated BCGs? They look cool.
>>29343930
>>29343930
They've been known to cause some problems. Prolonged use causes flaking which build up, along with carbon, in the chamber area. The can lead to some severe malfunctions.
Best advised to steer clear.
>>29341129
>colorado winters
We get three weeks of below zero temps then it goes back to 60 for a week. Repeat 3 or 4 times then prepare for hail and tornadoes.
Our winters are so mild now I could almost believe in climate change.
>>29343930
>>29343947
They've also been known to cause a serious case of smugness.
>>29343930
gold plating adds +15 to damage because it slams the bolt harder and +10 to stability because its so smooth theres less friction to cause recoil
anyone have any experience with classicfirearms.com? their barrels seem too cheap to be good

>10/10 setup
Fair enough, I guess I can't fault you for that, I'd probably have done the same. I did look through the link you provided, though the US manufacturer may be shit Faxon barrels are supposed to be really nice. They were my first choice for a nitrided barrel. May be worth a look.
So I got a hexmag among other things in my tac pack this month. It's a lot thinner than my PMAGs and a little lighter. Anyone else using them?
>>29343837

yo qb, do you think a turbo manlet could conceal a steyr?
>>29344853
M9-A1? If you smaller than the average male, it'll be difficult. C-A1 is a step in the right direction, and the S9-A1 should be no problem
The fact they only seem to include the 17 rounders and not flush fit 15s kinda bothers me...
>>29344810
>tac pack
what else came in it?
>>29344898
issue is the s9 is stuck with 10 rounds, or it would be a no brainer for me
c9 is no improvement over the m9 because the grip is the part that prints
>>29344902
A cattleman cutlery multi tool, a Gerber mini knife sharpener, a vinyl patch, stickers for the hexmag, and a coupon for 20% off on gorilla ammunition. Y'all can probably get it. The code's TACPACK.
>>29344914
fair enough. If you're driving a lot, the shorter barrel on the CA1 might be slightly more comfortable. I'll admit I'm splitting hairs.
You can try and swing a quality holster (hydrbid over kydex for something larger like this), but if you don't have tendencies to wear baggy clothing, are less then say 5'8/150lbs, the M9A1 is gonna take some real focus to keep concealed
>>29344952
yeah im much smaller then that
I wish the s9 just had 12 rounds
shield holds 9 with the +1 mag and is single stack, so the s9 just isnt worth it desu

>>29345741
curious why the yhm muzzle brake?
Finally finished my rifle this morning. Parts came nice and early, and because I don't have any tools around yet I had PK Firearms build the upper for $25. It is a bit front heavy so I'll probably change up the stock config eventually. Just needs a Geissele trigger and maybe some other misc small shit for the lower.
>>29345794
had it sitting around. Plan to upgrade it sooner or later. Suggestions?
>>29345809
I like surefire muzzle brakes
>>29345821
any particular reason why?
>>29345830
They look good and are pretty effective. Eventually I'm going to get a suppressor, mainly I like the look

>>29345809
I got my J comp put on yesterday, and I like it. For $30, it's a good way to decide if you really want a brake or not, I feel.
