Great post! I've been looking for an alternative to the OEM stock but don't want any more height in the weld area.
As far as optics. My eyes are still fairly decent and strain takes a while to set in. If I were to ever go the optics route for 'My Battle Rifle' it would be EoTech(or...
The Critical Duty I purchase is a +P 135Gr. The overall length of the Duty is longer than Critical Sefense as well. They are different rounds meant to meet different goals.
I'm not sold on the Magpul front handguard.. It's very comfortable for shooting from a bench or prone, but it's a little wide for CQB manipulation stuff..
It does have the advantage of being 'grippier' than a standard guard.. I'll have to try both out to see which one works better for me.
If the rifle proves reliable it will be getting a stamp and 11.5" barrel.
I will not build another. I can only shoot one at a time so that's all I need!
I was never a big fan of the Tacti-Cool'd out AR-15 platform.. I don't like the rails and the accessories and all the other plastic bits and pieces that people bolt on to them.. I DO however like the utility, and brutality that the platform can take.. I am not a person to baby my weapons.. They...

I've been contacted by a member on the forum willingto help and we have tentative plans.. I will keep this thread open though for consideration of local shops and suggestions.
Sorry. Located in Greenwood. Willing to travel or ship (to reputable shop).
I cut my teeth in a press & die shop and could easily do this myself given a Bridgeport, Kurt, and V-block. (I no longer work in a shop). If you are or know a machinist that is capable, I would consider that as well.
I'm looking for someone with the equipment and skill to drill and ream a virgin barrel for a FSB I already have. The FSB is pre drilled from another rifle.
Please do not suggest a clamp on. If you have insight on what I'm looking to spend, or a good smith to do the work, I'm all ears...
I took my lady friend to shoot some different carry options. We tried a snubby, g26, lc9 and the Taurus variant tcp. To my surprise she loved the tcp! Now if only I can find one for her!
