Looks like Kimber uses a proprietary sight cut and i'my having troubles finding suppressor height sights for my Custom TLE II. Anybody got a lead as to who makes them?

Me likey!

Tommygun is right, don't skimp on the BCG or barrel. Buy a BCM or other reputable manufacturer like Spike's or Daniel Defence.

Go with the S&W! The "Colt" (umarex) is the pot metal gun that had problems with the barrel breaking away from the receiver when it was first released.

Send it to adco and have it cut. They'll do it for $60 which includes cutting, crowning and rethreading. You could even send in another brake (longer?) and have them pin it correctly so the barrel meets the 16" requirements for a title 1 rifle. Or, donate it to me and I'll build it into...

I can knock one out in 15 minutes. First one took me maybe 30 minutes after looking through a how-to thread over on ARF.com.

Just to be safe, I transferred $1.00 into it, laminated the dollar and filed it with the trust.

No problem. I'm new to the NFA game but I did do a lot of research and am happy to try an answer any questions I can.

Each state and trust is different. That being said, nothing says the trustee cannot pay on behalf of the trust.

Yes I used a trust. Eforms can only be used by trusts,not individuals. I had Orion engrave my trust info on the magwell of the lower.

E-form took 34 days. How great is that?!? Here she is, my Spike&Wesson. Spikes Tactical lower w/Vltor stock/Tango down grip. Engraving done by Orion Arms Smith&Wesson M&P15-T upper (older model with Troy rail & sights) Chrome lined bbl cut to 10.5" by Adco Vortex flashhider...

No, those are both carbine length gas. It is best on 14.5" and shorter barrels. A mid length gas (like what I linked) is best with 16-18" barrels. It is smoother, less violent and more reliable. Plus, if you add a rail later down the road you have more room to mount things. Even without a...

Weak ammo or its not getting the correct amount of gas. Not normal but, is it a brand new gun? How many rounds have you fired? If its only a few I would suggest running some more. Your gas block might not have a perfect seal and is bleeding off. It may require a few more rounds to seal it...

I don't think you could make a wrong choice between the two. Butt.... Do you reload? If not, I would go with the 5.56 because there many SD ammo options that will meet your needs that are just not available in the .300 Worried about over penetration? 55gr V-max. Barriers? 77grHornady TAP. Etc...
