Just bought a CMC 3.5lb single stage drop-in tigger. I see a lot of people buying the anti-rotation pins for the drop in trigger groups. Is it that beneficial instead of just going with the provided c-clamps?

Anyone tried a Troy PDW or a NEA CCS stock yet?

Any of you preordered this Trigger? I read they were starting to ship.

I put in a 3mr. Looks like same thing. It's pretty damn fast.

I would like one but all my guns are left handed. So I would have to do some work on my carrier. Hopefully they package them with a lefty carrier in the near future. Because it looks like the safety levers can be swapped over like the BAD-arse ambi's I use on my rifles now.

Never mind. I didn't watch how it operates. 3mr is not a fire on release. But it's just as fast with a little practice

Got a question about barrel/handguard clearance. I am in the process of building a Mk18 Mod1 clone, because I'm not dropping $1200 on a Daniel Defense Mk18 upper. I am going with a 10.5" barrel, maker is yet to be determined. I want to go with a 10" quad rail so I can have as little gap as possible between the end of the rail and the flash hider, but still have enough room to mount a SiCo can on an ASR flash hider.

I am planning to go with a 10" Midwest Industries Gen3 T series in FDE:


Spoke with a Midwest rep on the phone and he said their handguards are built to be exactly 10" and should not exceed that. Does anyone have experience with a setup like this? I have a feeling it may be a situation where I complete the entire build except for the handguard, then order it to see if it provides sufficient clearance.

Here is a picture of a SiCo ASR mount for reference:



Below is a picture of a SiCo ASR flash hider on a DD Mk18 upper, which is a 10.3" barrel and 9.55" rail

Nice, very simple and will get the job done.

Only suggestion and this is only because rra had some issues with triggers breaking in the past. I would upgrade to a geisselle or alg. Now rra may have fixed the issue, so look it up to make sure.

I would def. like a geisselle for sure. I have got about 1000 rounds with no problems on the trigger so far. Hopefully it will continue to run good until I get a chance and funds to replace the trigger.

It should fit, but I would build it out first and order the handguard last. That would be the only way to ensure proper fitment.

Have you tried gunstruction? I found that is one of the best tools for getting barrel length and handguards figured out before you start the build. Here is a 10.5" barrel with the DD 10" handguard (they didn't have the midwest).

I use gunstruction all the time

And yeah, I was a bit leery because they did not have the MI handguard, and a quarter inch here or there could make a big difference in clearance.

why do you want a quad rail? The M-lok is so much more comfortable to shoot.

I was going to say the same thing, but he said he is building a clone of the mk18 mod1.

I already have an M-lok and a keymod build (only because it's all BCM uses), I just want to do something different. I kicked around the idea of a Geissele 9.5" MK4, but want to go this route instead.
