Onmilo, please enlighten me on this one. Because the highlighted parts don't make sense, and the second one likely violates the laws of physics. You do realize that Level IV armor is specified to stop M2 Ball, right? That is a 166 grain, hardened steel core 30.06 projectile impacting in excess...

I'm a shooter, not a collector. If I don't shoot it within 3 months of buying it, I might as well sell it.

Any time it comes up, I usually explain that it's because I feel responsible for my own safety, and dislike the idea of having to rely on someone else to be there for me. For a slightly more smart-ass version: "Because the whole cop is too heavy."

The Mk-2k is solid. It meters very well, the entire baffle stack is made from 718 Inconel, and circumferential welds all around. As far as short barrels, every little bit makes a difference. If you want to run it on a SBR, look into getting a muzzle brake mount. The two chambers of the...

They work. I've owned UTG, YHM, Daniel Defense, and KAC--I use Daniel Defense, now. If all you want to do is mount a light and/or a vertical grip, the UTG unit will serve you just fine. They are heavier than the competition, but are substantially cheaper. They are not free floated...

I'm a fan. Back when I was shooting a shotgun more (college, under 21, no handgun for SD), I could put one ounce slugs into a silhouette target at 100 yards almost every time--from a bead sighted, cylinder bore, 20 inch Mossberg. Slugs are not nescessarily THE answer, but they will add...

I've done a few FTF transactions. I always look at their CWP (no permit, no sale), and make sure we're not alone--gun show is good, or I'll handle the sale at my work. I run a specialty retail store (Cigar shop), and make sure that another customer who I know is present at the time of the...

Thank you for that, reading it now.

Tornado Tech is among the best in the business, you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, it's going to take some time.

Yes, it's a simple swap. As long as you're dropping quality parts into a quality rifle, you shouldn't have any issues. I doubt that you've put enough rounds through the rifle to cause any uneven wear that would affect the swap.

Magpul has requested a ruling from ATF on whether or not the AFG can be used on a pistol, but hasn't yet gotten a decision.

From what I understand, Glock does make threaded barrels, but not for civilian sale. You wouldn't happen to have a friend in LE who is a Glock armorer, would you?

FIVETWOSEVEN: http://silencerresearch.com/degroat_nano_vs_thompson_machine_poseidon.htm The review is free to anyone registered (even non-paying members) with the site. Fired wet, with subsonic ammo, the Poseidon was hear-safe according to a meter 15 cm from the shooter's ear.

I wouldn't recommend using a 5.56 can. While it will be freaky quiet, .22 tends to be a very dirty round, and you will end up with lead buildup inside your suppressor, which will affect performance over time. Also, in addition to being heavy, you would need some sort of raised optic in order...

Just shoot it. It's going to be ugly regardless of what you do to it :) As long as the internals aren't as worn as the slide, you're good to go.
