Hey Gimp,
Would you mind giving us some spec's on your setup please?
Cheers

Trijicon TA31RCO ACOG with fancy schmancy Larue mount

It's not "top tier" as I bought a lot of the bits when they were all I could get, if starting again I would buy a proper Nice factory rifle. However now that I've got it all going it's not worth the hassle to upgrade, it runs 100% and shoots pretty well.

Does anyone know of any decent 7rd mags that have a bit of length to them to stick out of mag pouches and make inserting them in the gun faster than a flush fit one, that are actually quality?

Because all the 5/7 rd mags I've tried so far suck and don't engage the LRBHO all the time etc

I have some that are 20rd in physical size, but that have an extra ridge or 2 in the stamping which stops more rds being inserted into it.
It LOOKS and feels as if you can put more in as the follower goes all the way down, but they bloddy wont take them!

[gimp]

That'd make them E, wouldn't it?

Appearance of more than 7rds

Its a shitty grey area as 7rd of 50 Beo fit perfect in a 20rder... so does it have the appearance of holding more than 7rds of 50 Beo? No.. 223 yes... 300 WSSM No.... etc

[gimp]

Yes, it's a stupid point of law.

I guess it has to come down to a calibre-dependant basis

Got a photo? Do they engage the LRBHO properly, feed reliably?

[JonP]

Looks good Gimp,
Do you have any hassles or advice about running a suppressor on an AR15?

Thinking about something similar based on an NEA 14.5, micro aimpoint, free float tube, timney trigger.
Where did you get your stock and la rue mount from?
Cheers.

They have a chopped lump of plastic in the base to limit them to 7 rds - of the ones I've had (30 odd?) most would take 8 rds with the poxy block in it
Pretty shithouse given the price of them

Yes and Yes, so far. Brought one to try and then brought 4 more
Sold via Tardme
See here AR15 7 Round magazine

He brought in 100 and had 50 left when I got my others 3 weeks ago

Just imported them myself.

What scopes is everyone using on their ARs and what mounts? I need to purchase soon My glasses means need good light and magnification what's a good expectation of distance you'd set it up for Thanks

I run a 2.5-8x32 vx3.
works a treat

rock river cantilever mount

I started with a Leatherwood CMR 1-4x24 but decided I needed a cross-hair and more magnification
so that just sits on In the ar parts bin now
