However, it's the engraving that's done after the milling. Everything should be to the same specs still. If the holes were cut like that as well then the concern would be there.

In theory with how billet lowers are made, shouldn't they be difficult to screw up? I mean they use CNC for billet right?

Exactly my point. Therefore, if the lower parts all fit and function properly, and if the upper attaches properly, then there's nothing wrong with it except cosmetic.

And in reality, it was probably sold as a blemished lower in the first place, as they do regularly for parts that had weird shit like that happen.

@Soulraiser you have to put in for a role

Picked up this today to put on the PC

With a few hose clamps you got yourself a "high quality" bayonet...

I forget what movie it is, but the SGT said to take it off because you can’t shoot straight with it on 😂

Band of Brothers; Actually in the midst of watching it with my wife.

Believe it was Bull that told one of the replacements that just before the battle of the bulge.

Is a bayonet affecting your accuracy more fudd-lore or legit?

@Soulraiser damn you sniped that. What a damn good series that is.

I can't imagine the round even coming close to the blade unless something is seriously wrong with your gun.

I have no idea about the legitimacy of that though. Never shot with one and I doubt with rifles these days it would have any effect

It has to do with the added weight at the front of the rifle that you aren't used to being there.

That makes a lot more sense. If you train bayonet fixed it shouldn't be an issue though.

But then it's an issue when you don't have it fixed. It's a lose-lose imo. But useful back when they had bolt action or semi autos that jammed every other shot in a mostly trench warfare style of fighting.

Yea if it came down to a knife situation I think I’d rather have it in my hand

Anyone have any thoughts on sig m18? Thinking about picking one up this week.

Just a P320, isn't it?

Same advice I give everyone on every Sig USA product: stay away from it until the initial product runs with QC that would make PSA blush are done. Get one in 6 months to a year.

Yea the M18 is a 320

Should be good to pick up

What yall think for a minimalistic cleaning kit on the field,

Gonna go with this I think, keep it small and basic

Boresnake, rifle lube (or grease if you’re a G), a brush (not brass or metal, it will cause unnecessary damage) q-tips (for getting to the area where the gas rings are)

Awesome thanks!

Attached with molle.

A small Allen key set wouldn’t hurt.

For those of you who have never heard of it, CherryBalmz gun grease is amazing for your rifle.

It’s entirely formulated for your rifle. I’ve talked to the guy who invented it.

It’s amazing how he’s so good at what he does, he understands the science behind everything as well.

And every single person I know who has used it has told me they don’t ever want to switch back to traditional gun lube.

I personally use alg go juice. Won't say it's any better than other stuff but it's safe for your skin, doesn't gunk up or rot, and rifles don't seem to quit when it has this stuff in it.

I use SLIP EWL, but the other recommendations are good as well

All good options

I hear good things about both SLIP and Go Juice

With the bolt gun I'm saving up for, I'm still kinda torn. Starting to lean a little towards 308 given 7.62x51 is available anywhere in the world and it may be better for learning ballistic calculations on.
