The ATF taxes alone are brutal. The cans should make a nice Christmas present. One of my form 1s is for my current 16" MI build. Going to take my time on the SBR upper to find exactly what I want.

And in between I need to pick up the following: two Silencerco ASR flash hiders, threaded barrel for my G19 (either SiCo or AAC), and the 9mm piston for the Hybrid.

They're sold out on SiCo's website. Jefferson Gun in New Orleans carries them.

Tried to call you over at Bowie when I was still looking for a can, they said you were done.



I am. Got a cybersecurity engineering gig in Houston. I'm still in the loop so I can dish out advice here though

I'm at a crossroads on whether to get a keymod rail or m lok. Is there any real advantage of one over the other?

When I'm at a crossroad with choosing parts, I tend to just build both so I won't stress over it. I do need a bigger safe now lol.

MLOK will likely render Keymod moot in a few years. Many retailers are selling 3-4 MLOK rails to every 1 Keymod rail. I'm working SHOT Show this year with a company that manufactures a lot of accessories, and they said that many of their peers are putting all their chips on MLOK. Keymod had first mover advantage and endorsement from Noveske, but MLOK will win out because it looks better, is easier to cut, and because of the lack of a directional component.

Guys, Lambos Armory is having a pretty awesome sale on all kinds of AR parts. I'm doing a lightweight build over the next few weeks but I found parts there cheaper than Amazon, Midway, and manufacturer sites, AND many parts are even cheaper when you add to cart.

They have flat rate $10 shipping and a discount code "Facebook" for more savings, if you are looking for odds and ends, def check it out.

Help me out here. When I order a lower it needs to ship to an FFL dealer, will any FFL dealer be willing to give me a copy of there license to provide to the shipping company? Or does the FFL dealer contact the shipping company directly.

I have been looking for a lower on joebobsoutfitter and psa.

The dealer will contact the shipping company. They will not give you a copy of their license.

That is what I figured. Thanks

I assume it's pretty simple to assemble a full build? Anything special needed?

Check out the assembly videos on brownells website. You'll need a few tools. Get most of them from Amazon for way cheaper
