I want to get a duplicate of Woody Guthrie's "this machine kills fascists" sticker and put it on a Garand stock.

Anyway, in gun news, I ordered a binary trigger to put into my M&P 15-22.

Turn my cheap pew pew gun into my cheap pewpewpew gun.

I bought mine online, it's a sticker that you put on and then rub and peel off the backing so it just leaves the lettering. Hence why it looks so clean.

In case your interested McNally.

Also, if anyone is interested in a Geissele low pro gas block or my old magpul furniture hit me up. I want to give GIP first dibs.

That rail is slick. I'd love to get something like that except I have a 14.5" upper with a permanently attached A2X flashhider that would cost me a bunch of money get removed and replaced in order to install the new rail.

You could always use a rail that attaches to the standard barrel nut like one from Troy. Dremel off the delta ring and front sight tower, slap the rail in.

That's what I did, with this forend specifically:

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/3058159027/troy-industries-m-lok-battle-rail-free-float-handguard-ar-15-aluminum

Took some time to shave off the bayonet lug from the gas block with a dremel but beyond that installation was pretty quick and painless.



So much better than the old Daniel Defense quad rail I had on there for ages :haw:

How lovely/not-lovely are those Troy rails that? Honestly though I think I'd rather just get another upper and keep this one as is since it's basically a complete BCM M4A1 clone upper with a RAS and Colt side sling swivel, etc.

In other news Palmetto has complete AR-15 pistol lowers on sale for $139, I just impulse ordered one. It'll probably be years before I complete it though, unless I decide to just get one of those cheap $200 Palmetto pistol uppers.

At this point 14.5" SBRs just seem really stupid since you can just permanently attach a muzzle device to make it non-NFA.

Mine feels good. No wiggle or wobble or anything, the only tricky bit was sliding the little mounting tab things that interface with the barrel nut in place so I could screw them down.

Make sure that PSA is in spec, they've increasingly been having issues with that for the last few years.

It kinda looks taller than it is long. Put a red dot with a raised lower third cowitness mount on it and try to find a 40 round mag if those are a thing, just to drive the point home.

I’ve seen people post about all sorts of issues so there isn’t really one specific thing to check for. The best thing to do would be to put an upper you know works from a different rifle on it and put a few magazines through it.

Issues range from holes drilled in the wrong places, holes drilled too big or small, poorly milled out internal spaces, excessively gritty triggers, etc.

Their QA has been lackluster from the start but they managed to get enough good quality components from outside manufacturers to make it worth it even if you had to send your stuff back for warranty work a time or two. However, it’s gotten really bad the last year or two, and they don’t even have the good stuff like FN barrels that made rolling the dice worth it anymore.
