So I went ahead and put on a MI Gen2 SS Series FF rail. For some reason the quad rail bows in the middle. It sits ALMOST flush with my upper receivers rail (barely noticeable). When I put it upside down on a flat surface, so its laying on the rail, you can see that its not totally flat. Is this norm...

Working on a new AR build and will be putting a FF 15" handguard. Ive been looking at the Midwest Industries T series or one of the Gen 2 versions. Anyone have any thoughts on MI? What brands do you think make the best FF handguards? Also, I need the inside diameter larger than 1.25. Thanks.

Starting a new AR build and was looking at dropping in a tac con 3mr trigger. Anyone have any thoughts on this trigger? Are there other aftermarket triggers that are better or can do the same thing. Any advice would help. Thanks.

The law says I can have them, gun stores still sell them to me, and even the PD says its OK for military when I asked them. No reason to hide if it's legal and everyone else says its legal.

I read the new gun laws that ban alot of the stuff. Luckily I am military and it basically states that law enforcement, military, etc. are not subjected to the new laws. I actually bought some things stores had in stock with no problem. It just seems that noone wants to ship to CT because they are n...

Anyone know of any good websites still shipping 30rd mags or collapsible stocks/assemblies to CT? I think I may have gotten a collapsible AK stock for my Polish Beryl but, I guess we'll see if I get a call saying they can't ship. Alot of websites say they aren't shipping these things to CT anymore. ...

Beautiful ride. I like the deep red color. You can probably fit a 12 pack and some burgers or something for a cookout if you guys stop at a scenic point during the ride.

I live an hour away in Groton and hate driving there without buying anything. Thanks t...
