Gonna continue this in the proper channel as it has nothing to do with weapons or gear. Sorry
Well that was interesting. I placed an order with forward control designs at like 9pm and they had it shipped at 3am from california. I didn't know california had post offices open that late, 1am their time
Weird, maybe sticker was delayed?
idk. The shipping email was from stamps . com. I'm just surprised any retail business is up that late in cali
Forward Controls Design is amazing. I’ve talked to the guy who runs it and some collaborators who have been with him and he’s an upstanding guy.
Work in TDCJ, most people I know at least have family in TDCJ working. know lots of COs.
Cops deal with dumbasses one or twice then move on to the next one. COs deal with the same mofo several times a week.
I ordered a 12.5 hodge barrel from them with their memorial day discount. Sort of a long term project
The squeeze-bore hodge barrels are great.
I'd like to get a receiver set but it's sounding like it'll be nigh impossible
Gonna collect the rest of the parts when I can and keep the receivers on the back burner in case I get an email saying they're back in stock
Does anyone have a good reccomendation for a 20inch 223 wylde barrel, preferably in a heavy profile
what sort of budget are you working with for the barrel?
I know exactly why he’s asking 😂
4-5 hundred
Can't get much better than this then
not uncommon for a cle krieger to shoot sub 1/4 moa with the right handloads
supposedly the cle chamber is even better than wylde, but I haven't seen evidence. They just claim it shrinks groups even more
but you can choose
What's the gas block area option they offer, flats for A2 or spot for optics? Never seen that before, then again I've not delt with a lot of parts that aren't generic factory parts
I don't know. I've tried looking it up because it confused me, but there's no information, and no one talks about it in any forum
It might have something to do with a2 upper receivers. They seem to sell a lot of those
It may have something to do with aligning the front sight base with the barrel
seems almost all of their ar components are made for service rifle competition
Basically a high end m16a2 clone with a giant ass bull barrel
Must be something that us normie non-competition types don't need to know about or use
There's a variety of brands that are still extremely good, though maybe not to the absurd quality of cle. Krieger, Douglass, criterion, white oak armament, bartlein
CLE takes blanks from a few of these companies, machines them, attaches a barrel extension, and so on, so they're a bit more expensive
I was eyeing a Brownells 20 inch fluted DMR barrel but their supplier for them seems to only be known for making 6.5 grendel barrels
Faxon also makes good stuff, typically sub moa
Faxon tends to be the best bang for your buck, semi budget barrel
Best camo for this type of environment?
M81 maybe?
Multi cam would probably work ok
M81 I would suggest.
I live in a similar setting.
Rhodesian honestly
Depending on the green of your woods over there
I find in my part of Canada flecktarn works really good but authentic cadpat with the infrared blocking materials are hard to beat
