If you ever have to use it in anger a court might think you're a whackjob if you've got lasers and lights and super sensitive trigger and bayonet on it.

It is good timing; I just ordered a Glock 19 Gen 4 yesterday, but it won't get in until next week. Of course I have already purchased the obligatory 33 round magazine The customization options for a 1911 are endless... |

Ha. I have two of the 33 rounders for my G26. They are fun at the range.

So I finally received the Noveske upper and lower from Rainier Arms and bought a BAD *** lever and Geisselle SSA trigger elsewhere. Since today is blizzard day, I decided to go ahead and build up the new Uber-AR:
Parts: Finished build: Close-up of the finished build: I managed to make it completely ambidextrous! Specs: Yankee Hill Milling YHM-15 Noveske N4 lower CMMG Noveske M-4 upper Daniel Defense 16" mid-length, chrome-lined, 1:7 twist barrel FailZero Basic bolt carrier group (SWEET) Geisselle Super Semi-Automatic trigger BCM Gunfighter charging handle BAD *** (safety selector) lever Troy Industries Ambidextrous magazine release Magpul BAD lever (ambidextrous bold carrier release) VTAC Rail TRX Extreme by Troy 11" forearm Troy Industries Front and Rear Battlesights Troy Industries gas block Magpul MOE grip Magpul aluminum triggerguard Magpul UBR stock Mount-N-Slot Hand Stop Trijicon TA01NSN-RMR scope I won't be able to fire it until after next week Thanks MacCool for all the suggestions and insight!

My only observation is in regards to the BAD lever. I have mixed emotions. I've used 'em, but there's a lot to be said for a standard manual of arms. Note that on occasion, with some bolt releases in particular, it may contribute to a failure of the bolt to lock back on an empty mag. If that happens to you when you fire it, first thing I'd do is pull the BAD lever off and recheck. |

I have the BAD lever on my Bushies and haven't had any issues, but that is the first place I will check if the bolt carrier doesn't lock. Thanks for the heads up! Now that I have an extra lower laying around I will probably end up building a 4th AR...good grief! It may give me an excuse to try out a monolithic, gas-piston upper. The LMT is looking tempting....

Your midlength DD barrel has a gas port sufficient to drive a heavier buffer. If you break the rifle down, you'll see a letter stamped on the end of the buffer. If it's a "C" it's a carbine buffer and you should definitely go buy an "H" buffer. Depending on the ammo, you might even be able to go to an H2. Something to try - the heavier the buffer, the more it mitigates the recoil impulse. There's no need to get all fancy - the Spike's buffer is OK...about the weight of an H buffer. Its powdered tungsten is supposed to be more effective. I have one around here somewhere...it's just snake oil IMHO. Any old H or H2 buffer will do. Some people recommend a spring from Tactical Springs (Sprinco). I use them (blue) in rifles I build, but I doubt they're that much superior. OTOH, they're pretty cheap and well made.
Relative to recoil management/muzzle climb reduction, first step is a mid-length gas system, which you have. Next would be the heaviest buffer your rifle will run, H, maybe H2, maybe even H3. Third would be a compensator. If you really want to go balls out, skip the stupid hydraulic buffer (IOW, ignore that silly doofus from 'Sons of Guns') and consider a VLTOR A5 system. You wouldn't need the stock, but note that with the A5, the receiver extension is a little longer and your stock will lack 3/4 inch from closing all the way to the end plate (which really doesn't matter since it's unlikely you'll ever shoot it all the way closed). On my Noveske Light Recce (midlength), I have use a BattleComp compensator (by far the best balance of compensator vs blast/noise) and an A5 spring/buffer/extension. I let a buddy (LEO and firearm trainer) shoot it and after shooting he looked at the upper to make sure it wasn't a .22 upper. Very soft-shooting rifle that gets back on target very quickly. |

People in cali are allowed to get their ccw's. It depends what area you live in. I'm in sac and we can sign up to get ccw's. From what i heard you don't need to have a "special" reason to get one now. I guess our newly top sheriff, scott jones is allowing to get ccw's a little easier for our greater sac citizens. There is so many people signing up for ccw's that there is like a 8 month waiting list.
