Add Griffin Armament to the list, they actually sell the lug barrel adapter also.

Jerry Bissell, retired, his nephew took over the business, do some googling and you'll see tons of good stuff about Bissell and armour belts. I have 2 from Jerry's days and 1 from Armour, zero change in quality.

Bullseye. Has best recoil impulse IMO.

I have a complete lower assembly that I just built. I am still new to this but I am learning. I am now looking for a reliable but good priced upper assembly. I prefer to have the flat-top type instead of the carry handle attached. And I am wanting it to be 16 inches and a 1/7 rifling twist .
What are some good brands that are reliable and priced good that are sold here around middle Tennessee so that I can walk in a shop and look at it before I buy instead of having to order it without seeing it ?
Don't take this the wrong way, but other than physical/aesthetic stuff, what will physical inspection do for you?
Order from a reputable online dealer, tax would be more than shipping if bought local. I recommend Palmetto State Armory. Stay away from their "Ptac" branded stuff, I'd go with their premium line. Set a budget, PSA can probably have you set up for $400 roughly.
This one has FN made cold hammer forged barrel. Add one of their BCG and charging handles.

Zero difference other than primer size. Load them up.

Most the manufacturer printed ones will be for their bullets. The Lyman 49 has a good amount of data. In all honesty the Lee 2nd does too. As above though, I've got Sierra and nosler too. Accurate powders and alliant have decent online load database. Alliant will send you a hard copy for free.

Colt, if you can swing the cash.

Lots of people do the 50/50 funds to keep things on an even keel. Buyer gives you 50% before and 50% when stamp arrives and item is getting picked up.That's huge help. Thank you. I assumed that was the case, but as a non-dealer I wanted to make sure I was following the law. I can see the person who would buy it from me being leary about me (a private individual) holding their item until I get the tax form but after taking their money.

Brownells alluded to help from Nodak Spud with the new retro lower on another forum. Prices about the same as Nodak or McKay, less wait though :).
I plan to do a late 60's build soon. Just wish they'd have gone grey phosphate instead of black on the lowers.-

I like a fixed 4x for the 30-30. I use an older (brass and steel)weaver on mine. With the leverloution stuff, I was able to stretch my effective range by about 50yds. As above I have a 2-7 red field revolution on a different gun, great scope for the money.
-
I wish I would have known ammo was gonna rise as much as it has and that at any given time it could completely be sold out everywhere.
As above, buy a bunch of decent mags(D&H, Magpul, lancer). Buy a bunch of ammo. Learn to reload if you don't already, major accuracy gains to be had in every AR I own with tuned loads. -
Have you (or has anyone) done much testing with this round out of longer barrels? Would something like a 7-8" barrel add much velocity, or does 4-5" burn all the powder you can cram in there already?
A gentleman on Arf.com built an 22TCM AR using Tok mags, he got 3k fps. -
Confirmed, A5 cut down. Fits real nice under a trench coat....
-
This is where the the 22TCM9R comes into play. RIA is making glock replacement uppers. 1900fps from 5" barrel.

He's also a stand up guy in person. I met him at my cousin's rehearsal dinner for her wedding about 9yrs ago. She married his college roommate who he is still friends with.

But will it cycle a semi auto?
No. -
Umm....ambiguous? Good luck getting any 1911 manufacturer to tell you where their forgings are from or where the steel originated.That is a rough reference. The fact they are so ambiguous about it says something. Either way, we know most of their guns are not USA made.
Fact, springfields are now made in the USA. Ruger is good at stainless casting, they have made frames and parts for other manufacturers for years. Most those manufacturers don't divulge they are cast by Ruger. -
Springer is forged frame, Ruger is cast. Not saying one is better, just saying.
I've put every one of the Rugers I've handled back in the case. I've got springers, never been disappointed. I usually recommend the Loaded as a 1st 1911 to anybody, or the range officer. -
Mine is more of a do all rifle can all cones, will use Griffin .30 cal Taper mounts bored to size. Might have to make a taper to LiD adapter. I also have a 9mm pistol(all k's) only approval due up in 2-3wks that will direct mount to the LID. Both will be TI.I just got approved as well, well 3-4 months ago. Mine will be all titanium except for the all steel LID.

If times get tough I keep a stockpile of factory bullets.
