For a cheap $79 barrel it shoots surprisingly well. With ZQ1 SS109 I was shooting 5 shot groups between 1.25-1.75". First 5-10 were sprayed all over the place in an 8" circle so I was worried. Guess it just had to settle down. Only got 50 rounds through it but I give it a thumbs up. Couldn't put my Vortex on there because I didn't have any spare 1" rings. Think my groups will tighten up a little once I get 12x magnification on there.

Thats a nice looking gun! I was torn between the jack lower or getting the YHM billet lower and getting it NP3ed to have that silver and black look.

Congrats. I bet with the election, Orlando, and BLM riots more AR rifles have been sold this year than any other so far.

How much better would you say the noveske is than the ballistic? $200 better?

What's y'all opinion of spikes BCG's? Worth paying extra for nickel boron?

Clames has a solid argument against NiB BCGs in THIS thread.

I'm a fan of BCM enhanced lightweight profile barrel (accompanied by their BCG as well for my builds). I like the weight distribution as compared to government profile. Their 9" barrel for my 300BLK has been very accurate.

Does anybody know if there is someone in Baton Rouge that will do an RMR cut on a glock?

Also, has anybody tried an upper from 22modsforall? thinking of giving one a try for the price, but before I buy just wanted to see if anybody had any feedback on them
