Quoted from Fulltilt:Revisiting "accidental discharges".
Looking back, there are no "accidents", only carelessness and failure to follow proper handling rules.
Good video i ran into about ADs

Quoted from Fulltilt:AR parts are getting cheap again. Maybe the ammo issue is lowering hardware demand.
My first upper in a very long time. And first 7.62x39.[quoted image]
Sweet!!
The only downside to the 7.62x39 ar is 223 rounds get stuck if you accidentally drop a bolt with the wrong mag. Just need to keep your friends aware of what’s on the table.

Quoted from USMCSGT0331:Well, it took a few years, but I'm officially done with all 5 major variations of the Daniel Defense Block II uppers with SureFire 4 prong flash hiders! From top to bottom (with barrel lengths) they are:
M4A1 FSP, 14.5"
M4A1, 14.5"
GL/SSC, 12.5"
Mk18 FSP, 10.3"
Mk18, 10.3"

The GL/SSC stands for Grenade Launcher/Sound Suppression Capable and it's the shortest DD rail that you can attach an M203 grenade launcher to. I'm extremely fortunate to have the GL/SSC and Mk18 FSP rails in my collection, those rails are extremely rare. There's only a handful of each known to be in private collections and there's probably 5 or less people on the planet that have both of these rails in their collection! Most of the ones you see in collections are cut down M4A1 rails that still retain their M4A1 markings. Here's the markings on my original GL/SSC and Mk18 FSP rails:

Here's the GL/SSC by itself:

I have a few more of these DD Block II uppers as well, all but one upper has optics and accessories. Next step will be trying to find silencers for all of them, then finding lower receivers to Form 1 as SBR's. These detailed clone builds take a ton of time and patience! All of the parts are either military surplus or clone correct. Let me know if you guys have any questions about clone builds or need assistance with getting started on a build, I'll do what I can to help out and share pics/knowledge.

Also, Joint Force Enterprises has some amazing Remington items for sale right now! Shoot them a call if you need any original M24 rifles or parts, their phone number is 904-800-6333 (press 1 when it asks which department to connect to). They're selling Remington M24 receivers with a C prefix serial number (early 1990's) and US stamp for $600 each! That's a very good deal for a rare, original, historical US military used receiver! They also sell the long action bolt bodies and firing pin assembly to go with the receivers.
I'm going to be building one of my receivers into an M24 clone using original parts. I plan on using the other receivers on unique custom builds. I highly recommend picking up at least 1 C prefix US marked M24 receiver for your collection. Here's the receivers I recently picked up (I already had the M24 scope bases and triggers in my collection):

Wow, hardcore!
Anyone have any experience with form1 suppressors? I have a few form 4 cans, but figured I’d try the diy route and see how long it takes.
Quoted from BOHICA:Form 1 is a permission slip so don’t build any part til you get the stamp in hand. Rest is about the same except instead of transcribing data you are the originator. Can’t help you mechanically.
Yeah, have a couple form 4s in the pipe.. seems like things have slowed down.. hoping the form 1 will come back in a few weeks instead of months.
hah, I'll guess the early birds to the e-form4 maybe get through "quick" but they're probably already swamped with the big retailers pumping "approval in 90 days" Crummy to wait up to a year or more for something that should be over the counter.
Quoted from Sputnik:I have added 2 AK-54R rifles to my collection.

I really like pairs.. two is one and one is none kinda thing.

Well, My boys are gonna have a good time with it! Kinda neat to find one so old I could have opened it when I was a kid.

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:Easy to type that on the internet, and I intend to agree.
But being involved in a real situation where I had to pull a firearm your mind plays the situation over an over again and I am thankful I didn't have to shoot
Also Maryland... Not the worst, but there's 40 some other states that would be a better place to get caught in a self defense situation.
So is Leupold generally the best choice for made in USA optics? anyone know some other bargains out there? C-More red dots seem like a reasonably priced choice for US made.
Where do you find surplussed military scopes?
I didn’t know that about Vortex, I thought they were a US company that sold Asian built optics, that’s good to know. What kind of reticle do you find on the nightforce military scopes? If i ever get enough land to setup a longer distance range one of those christmas tree reticles seem like they might be really fun.

Quoted from Kneissl:Anyone get hands on a savage impulse yet?
https://www.savagearms.com/impulse
I finally got a few shots on the Savage Impulse, oh yeah, I'm lovin' it. I have a browning t-bolt for a nice straight pull pair... would love to have an Anschutz biathlon (edit: Fortner action), but yet to justify the $$ for a .22
There's something sweet about sliding a bullet straight home into the chamber.

I suckered into the e-form 4
90 days.... HAH! I swear every time I check current wait times it's a month longer than I've been waiting... every time.
I love suppressors, but geez, the legal hoops involved are ridiculous for a piece of threaded pipe.
Quoted from ryanbrooks:I miss the old days of efile a form 1 was under 30 days and the form 4 took less than 180. Been a while. When braces became popular, I was doing SBR form 1’s. Lotta folks told me I was dumb. I put a mossy 500 on a form 1. Same configuration as a shockwave. Same folks told me I was dumb. It’ll probably end up like the brace scenario.
All but my last paper form were faster than the fancy new e-form 
I totally avoided the SBR thing. Just seems like the next bigger can of worms from suppressors, maybe not that much bigger, but permission/paperwork to cross state lines and the whole brace deal felt like being friend-zoned.
