I've got a 300AAC Blackout upper that hooks up to my 6.8 SPC lower. Both upper and complete rifle were custom builds, but I'll be dipped if I know off the top of my head who makes all the parts....
OK so my lower came in. It was the blemished model for $189. I can't find or perceive a blemish on this lower. The only thing I can think of is the insignia stamp is not as deep as the other markings? It came with Magpul STR stock, Magpul MOE grip and Magpul polymer enhanced trigger guard.castle nut is properly staked, MIL spec buffer tube and heavy recoil buffer. I feel like I stole it !!! Best Buy EVER. I think I'll be building my AR's exclusively through PSA. The price can't be beat. I'll be buying a lower a month until KILLARY brings back the Brady law.

Till then.... I leave you guys with this....

After doing a lot of research about nitrided barrels vs chf, barrels. I decided to take the plunge and go for what I felt was an amazing deal. My barrel won't be MPI'd & HPT'd. But it is 4150 cmv that has been nitrided. I observed torture/accuracy tests and the gun failed excellent. Plus I think getting a mid-length gas system and Magpul free float barrel shroud for $236 delivered was a great deal. Everything on the rifle is M4 standards except for the melonite barrel and only because of the lack of pressure testing my the govt inspectors. But it is tested by psa before being shipped to you.

I'm about to order a full MIL spec nitrided bcg + charging handle. I will Teflon bake the inside of the upper myself if it hasn't been done yet. That should aid in smooth shooting with a well oiled nitrided bcg. My trigger has no travel whatsoever and breaks crisp. I'm going to polish the stock trigger. This will be coupled with a 2X green/red dot scope.

This build will cost me a grand total of $600 with 2 lancer hybrid warfighter mags. This was a great build considering the times and the scarcity of good AR's for relatively cheap

The major companies are forcing g the budget conscious into buying junk. S&W no longer nitrides the barrels anymore and has gone from 1:8 twist to 1:9 twist,lessening long range accuracy of the 16" barrel. When asked how to they treat the barrel. S&W said, it's a new trade secret. I call bs on Smith... why can't the just put the right twist rate.... ??? 1:7 belongs on 16", 1:8belongs on 18" and 1:9 belongs on 20" barrels.

The industry is going to ****. In 2010, what I just built was a $700 rifle. $900 if it was magpuled out. Now it's a $1,200+ rifle before Magpul. DANG politicians...

I'm just glad someone is doing MIL spec cheap. It's not corporations doing it either. Douchebags.

You match bullet weights to barrel twist. Not length. 1-7 takes bullets over 77grs. 1-8 takes bullets from 69 grs to 77grs. 1-9 takes bullets lighter than 69grs. Try shooting a 50 grs varmint bullet through a 1-7. You will spin the jacket right off the bullet core. Been there, done that.

Nothing says "Look at me!" more than a .50AE Desert Eagle in a small indoor range.

That's the response when you fire off a S&W 460. Still to date the most powerful handgun I've ever shot.

The 460 is definitely an attention getter as is it's brother the S&W 500. Both The 460 and 500 are crazy rounds but they are not fun to shoot. Did get to shoot a S&W 500 once, it was really cool but never again.

The Desert Eagle is a lot of fun. I could shoot it all day but my bank account couldn't. The second round I ever shot out of my DE was in to a water melon at about 15ft. The watermelon was there one moment and gone the next.

I agree. My old neighbor had a 460 I fired five rnds and that was all I needed. Not fun.

TC's are hell on wrists, especially in rifle calibers...



.41 Magnum gets people's attention too....

One round of S&W 500 was enough for me.

Just you talking about shooting a pistol like that makes my wrist hurt.
When it comes to 45/70, I'll stick with my Marlin 1895 ABL.

To date the most unpleasant thing I've shot is still my S&W AirLite PD .357 snubbie. The pistol weighs 11 oz. .357 Mag personal defense ammo out of that is brutal. Your hand goes numb after three shots.
