Cool, thanks - I guess I will try without basepads first and if that doesn't work for me then ill look at some of these options. I thought base pads or extensionms where a must with the magwell but seems not...

I am ordering the black dawson Ice magwell for my G17 which I intend to run in ESP. What base pads will I need to sit the mags once I install the magwell? Anybody with first hand experience please.. S

mmmm.... I really want the tube to sit flush with the barrel, anybody have by chance a link or the measurements of the +5,+6 nordic tubes so I can be a bit more accurate?

+6 seems like the size then, i didnt realize there was an extended cap!, is this a different part number or does it come with the extension tube as option? update: i just checked the cpwsa website and they only list a +1,2,3,4,5,7,8 (NO 6 - has this part been discontinued?)

so I ordered the +5 thinking this one would sit flush with the barrel but it ended up short (about 2 3/4 - 3 inches), so I am assuming the +6 would fit perfectly with the barrel, correct?, anybody has actually done it and can confirm this is the case? also, brownells doesnt carry the +6, who does??

Oh I know, but it is not pleasing to the eye :-) Regardless, its a great shotgun and will continue to use for years to come but just wont take out for waterfowl anymore, will buy something cheaper to give a beating and be less worried about cosmetic finishes... that's all....

tried oil as well as other cleaning products and nothing worked, the barrel is spotted with areas of surface rust... very dissapointed. What I will probably do is take it for an application of duracoat, I hear this stuff wont rust at all at it will give my barrel its like new finish again, would run about $40-$50 bucks... Will then probably pick up a cheaper pump shotgun in some type of Camo for the dirty work, I hear this camo finish offers excellent rust protection (I guess its like a duracoat?).

Help please, I went duck hunting yesterday and obviously exposed the M2 (syntehtic stock black finish) to the elements, i applied some Remington oil to the outside when finished and put it inside the case, when I got home it was all covered with spots of surface rust in the barrell, I have tried wiping it down hard with cloth and oils (WD-40, RP7 and Remoil) but nothing is really working.... What do i do?, I think this is horrible quality that a $1200 gun will rust so fast! any ideas how to remove and prevent in future?

thanks, think I will go with belt holster first.... will also try their single pouches... thanks all!

About to order my comp-tac holster for IDPA, wondering what is the recommendation or Pros/cons of paddle vs belt holster for a mutli-purpose IDPA/carry holster? I am inclining towards paddle just for the simplicity of on/off but appreciate your thoughts.

so I checked on midway, I see Millet DMS Rifle scope 30mm 1-4x 24mm illuminated circle dot reticle matte product #186660 for $209.00 - is this the right one?, it didn't have the -1 mentioned in the original post....

thanks where do I buy either the Millet or the weaver? and how much can I expect to pay for these?... also I suppose I will need rings and a mini-riser or not?

I just shot my Benny Hill AR15 today for the very first time (first time shooting any AR15 style rifle btw) and I loved it - it shot very flat and felt super smooth, to be honest I thought that a .223 will have more recoil but I guess that is the beauty of this type of rifle... Anyway's I dont have a scope and am trying to decide what to get as my first scope - Benny recommended the Burris 1-4x XTR as a competition scope (about $695 - I think).. but I am looking to start with something way cheaper as I wont be shooting in 3 gun for now (have yet to find a 3 gun club around the Woodlands, TX!) AND just want something to take to the range and enjoy/start practicing for future matches... So, what do I need in a 3 gun scope? and what is the best entry level scope that would work for just regular range shooting and the eventual 3 gun match while I decide to upgrade to the Burris... also is the Burris the scope to have for competition or are there others I should be looking at for when I make the big purchase but around the same price range.... Thanks all for your input!, S

Oh.. yes I ordered a Benelli M2 24 inch on ableammo, probably when I drive down to pick up the AR i will take the SG....

Yes I don't finish in ANY top 10 so far - - but my thought was to go with a nice adjustable stock just to get going. Now that I have the "right" length I never mess with it. The A2 stock was not to my liking - but again from another AR newbie... your mileage may vary Oh Congrats on buying a great rifle from a great guy...did you order a SG from him too? If not you might as well put in the order. He'll tell you everything you need to know and do... Thanks - I felt it was best to go with the REAL thing now that I had the spare change instead of experiencing with different stock rifles and trying to upgrade, especially when 1) I didn't know anything about AR's, and 2) I couldn't seem to find the right platform to begin with (meaning all the rifles I was seeing locally had 16" barrels).. What is a SG?? NOW all I have to do is get out there and start shooting (well.. actually I have to get the rifle first!).
