Umbrella stuff is hard to get as it flies off the shelf as it comes in.
Best thing is to regularly check their FaceBook page.
They make very good quality stuff.
My lower and uppers are incredible in terms of perfection.
I am a big fan of the Resident Evil movies so it is a must have build for me.

So far, BCG $145, Lower $175, Upper $145, Grip $20, Parts Kit $35, plus cost of trigger.
I am patiently waiting on all parts they will be selling with logo.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I know you said they are coming out with barrels and hand guards, anything else in the rumors? Stocks? muzzle breaks/comp? furniture of any kind? I'm tempted now to do another build. Pretty decent price for a good quality BCG. I paid 185 for my BCM BCG back when they were impossible to find. Sounds like a fun build... any... pics...? :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well, rumor from their end has a Nickel Boron BCG in the mid year, and you bet I will order one.
New model grip, perhaps stippled.
Stock.
....and, complete builds.
All in addition two several barrels and a handguard, and all with logo.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hmm I'm debating with myself if I wanna make a light weight ar next or if I wanna do a long range nail driver. Either way I'll definitely have to keep my eye on them.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

any inputs on 28 gauges. Tired of my 11-87 for quail (probably still use it for dove), and I've always wanted a Browning Citori 20 gauge w/ an English stock. Buddy of mine is good pals with a Benelli distributor and he's going to get a Benelli Legacy 28 semi-auto at a break-neck price. I can get in on the deal and think I'm gonna put off the Citori. Another friend says he has no problem with knock down power on pheasant and grouse with his 28, and claims 28 gauge deliver the best shot pattern. Any inputs.

Here is my IWB.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Will do. I have a leather single clip IWB right now and I like it. But i am looking for something more comfortable. I have tried a crossbreed and really liked it. But $90 when i can get this one for $35. plus they have a 4 week "try it out" policy. If i don't like it, I send it back.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ranger SXT is the same as Black Talons. But with a copper bullet instead of black. Available to civilian markets. That's what I carry.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Put a magpul xtm handstop on the ak. Pictures later

I am really digging the RIA compact 1911....really like the price, mostly good reviews with RIA, any fisrt hand experience here?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've fondled them. Seem well put together. I hear the customer service is great. I would wait a few months, though. RIA has changed their roll mark on the slide, and it's MUCH smaller.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Cool, good info. Thanks Scotty :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

All my gun contacts are in Vegas right now, my main guy says they have RIA's in the shop, I better go check them out :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have fallen deeply in love.

man I want one.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sexy...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

$429 really sexy!!!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've been using Remora ITWB holsters for my LC9 and Model 36. Just ordered a DeSantis ITWB for my LC9. I'm just hoping its not too much thicker

I've been looking at picking up a RIA lately. I found out its on my approved carry list for work, I just havent had a chance to actually shoot one yet

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I havent tried the compact but have owned or currently owned the full size tactical and standard and for the money I dont think you can go wrong. However it is a design that I think one would have to work at to mess up too.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Cool, thanks Michael!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You'd be surprised. I've had 1911's that were a mess. Where it usually goes wrong is with the extractor and ejector. But those are also easy fixes.

Also, the internet will tell you that 1911's with a barrel shorter than 4" will be trouble. It all depends on the manufacturer. My 4" 1911 has a 2" grouping at 25 yards on a rest…and there is no way I can replicate that free hand.

Some manufacturers don't build their 1911's to mil-spec. The ATI Commander I had needed major work to fit an aftermarket sear/disconnector. The channel they sit in was way too small. Most other 1911's need just minor sanding for the same part…if sanding is needed at all. However, the ATI went bang every time I pulled the trigger (dang stiff one too) and was a very accurate and comfortable gun. And for $450, it was priced right. I sold it because I end up tweaking my guns and it would have cost too much to do what I wanted…due to the out of spec manufacturing.

Picked up a TLR1S

Might stay on the Glock. Might go on the AK

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just built this one to sell.... Trued Rem 700, .223 Bartlien 1-8 chambered for the 75 Amax, obviously threaded for the Suppressor and sitting in an AI 2.0 Stock, Cerakoted in Black
Was very cold this morning but I managed to put 8 rds thru it with a makeshift load that didn't do to bad.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice Grendel Shawn, I gave up on mine as it had its limitations at longer ranges but damn accurate for the short game.... Always enjoy seeing your stuff!

Keith

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks, your builds are always in a class unto themselves.

This Grendel could be finicky. It got a 18" Liberty barrel and the throat seems a little short. Initial dummy rounds have 120 SMK at 2.230 OAL. Chamber is not to tight though. We shall see.

What were your experiences shooting at 600 / 800 / 1000?

Any favorite loads that you remember?

-Shawn

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shawn, I was shooting the 123 Amax & Scenars using IMR 8208 XBR with 28.5grs I had a Saturn Barrel..... Seemed past 500 yrds it just fell on its face where the 6mm's such as the 6BR, BRX, and the 6 Dasher make everything look bad because they are so accurate and easy to tune.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'd like this to shoot well at 600. The round should be dropping 35-45 feet at 1000. I don't think I'm going to have any real success at 1000.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It will shoot OK Im sure Shawn, but I doubt it will be a 1/2 moa gun at 600 with any consistancy and certainly 1000 would be not even be close.
I also shot some factory ammo from mine with great results but that too fell off past 400.

Wish we lived closer brother!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anybody know anything about the quality of PSA uppers?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

PSA stripped upper receiver or complete upper?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If your doing a build and getting a stripped upper go with BCM. They have a track record that everyone swears by. I have many BCM parts on my build and have 0 problems with them. I've contacted customer support with questions about parts, availability, shipping and they have always been quick to respond and very professional and very helpful.

BCM is roughly 30-40 bucks more for a stripped upper which isn't much in the long run for a build. PSA is newer and IMO i'd rather spend 30-40 bucks more for a part I KNOW will be good, solid reliable. Nothing against PSA but I'll let the other guys spend their coin building PSA's track record up.

If your going for a complete upper then thats a different story. If you go PSA you will obviously save some money then if you were to go Colt, BCM or any other of the bigger name brands. Money could be used on fun stuff for the build or ammo. I believe Wilson makes the barrels for the PSA upper (where as I would assume) BCM makes their own barrels for their complete uppers. I have a 16" mid length 1/8" BCM barrel and so far, love it. I haven't had it out at any long distances yet. Also, what do you intend for your build to do? General purpose? Distance/bench rest?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

PSA is GTG. Don't get a PTAC I've heard hit or miss things about those.

My PSA upper ran just as good as my wife's LMT upper. If it has the CHF barrel even better. Those barrels are made by FHN/FN

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm looking for a complete upper. I'd be pairing it with a CMMG complete lower I already have. I just can't seem to find any Negetive reviews about PSA uppers, which is somewhat concerning in a weird way lol. Thanks for your quick responses guys


As for use, just general use and coyotes

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Andrew. PSAs house brand items are great for the money. Beware, they're slow shippers usually so be patient.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Everything on my AR is PSA except the stripped lower. Only about 100 rounds through it, nothing to complain about.

It took about 2 weeks for mine, order to my house.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll go ahead and order a PSA upper

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shawn, heres a pic of my Grendel

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ive read a few posts where the PSA uppers didnt fit the lowers. Probably was awhile ago though and im sure they fixed it.. I hope at least

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

….but then again…today was a good day.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I see what you did there :r:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I heard about that from the shot show. I would imagine its got some heft to it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

twice the mag changes, twice the malfunctions…I mean…pull the trigger and no boom…you have twice the chambers to clear and reset. No thanks.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:tpd:. Unless they come out with some sort of hybrid complete badass BCG with ejectors on both sides of the bolt carrier... hmm... if someone wants this just take some tape and two AR-15's.. WHAMMY! The idea though isn't half bad in theory. If your gonna have two completely different systems on the same gun why not two different calibers? I think that would be a decent idea? You could have the standard 5.56 on one side then a 300 black out or a .308 ooohhh or maybe the new .300 win mag conversions people are starting to finally do. That would be interesting. I still wouldn't buy one though.

Would have 0 real world applications in the field. But would make for a fun range gun or wall piece.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here's what you gotta do:
Take a Street Sweeper and slap an AR sideways on top of it.
Practical.
