Looked plenty flat. How did you like the balance?

Are these firing pins MIM, cast or billet?

Sounds like you got bit by the same bug I did. Looks like we upgraded many of the same things. The only additional things I added was Ergo deluxe grip and Isler CF handguard. The killer for me is that I’m currently laid up with back problems. So I have a bone stock MPX and a box full of goodies and I can’t assemble or play with it. Be sure to hit us with a pic of the rifle or better yet, a video of you running it.

Give Garret Industries a call and see if they can help you.

Looks great!

a) The brace would not be permitted for use in IDPA b) .223 is not a legal round for use in IDPA.

Could someone educate me on 3D printing? Why is it that the outside surface seems to be silky smooth yet the inside generally needs a little extra TLC. This isn’t a knock on a prototype item. Just an observation for a lot of 3D printed mag wells.

Cheap, clean and consistent. It’s the trifecta. I have 2k PD 124gr JHP headed my way. Going to load them up with SV for my new SIG MPX.

Thanks for the chrono info Memphis. I still have about 4# each of SV and V to play with. I happen to look though my notes and found a great SV load with PD 124gr jhp with single digit SD.

When I had a .45 built for PCC, the SOs were complaining that it sounded suppressed and that the timers had a hard time picking up the last shot. So I put a comp on it to help with that. With the little gas expended with the .45, the comp does little more than make more noise for the timer. But that’s my experience. YMMV

That’s a sexy piece of steel.

Is suppose what trigger you run will dictate the safety you can use. But the two I prefer are the Seekins and V Seven.

Btw, this discussion was beat to death in the Gear sub forum. http://forums.brianenos.com/topic/191374-why-are-salomon-shoes-so-popular-for-shooters/

No excuses for not hitting the A-zone with that setup!

I usually mount my red dots just as the ejection port starts. That would be the tube style.

Solomon are definitely not for the wide of feet. I can handle them for local matches, but anything more and I have to resort to an old pair of Reebok’s that are Uber comfortable.

They're back in stock. I got mine, better get yours!

Their just fun to shoot. And isn’t that why we shoot? To enjoy ourselves?

That’s a great comparison. Did you start with the Lancer and end with the Isler? Aesthetically I like the looks of both. But something tells me that I’d prefer the feel of the Isler.

So the Isler is a smaller diameter? From pictures it looked to be a larger OD than the Lancer.

I’m looking to build up an MPX for some summertime fun. I have most of my goodies selected but I’m on the fence between getting the Isler or Lancer handguard. I’ll probably spend the 1st month running with the stock carbine handguard but after that, I’ll be looking to drop some coin. What difference did you feel between the stock hg and aftermarket? How did it effect dot movement? Currently each of my ARs are equipped with AP Customs CF hgs. So I am looking at the Isler as the choice for me because it looks similar in diameter.

Thanks for the offers of support and kind words guys. Thankfully I’ve prepared myself with an arsenal of support prior to the move. Church, therapist, and supportive friends that truly care about my well being.

That’s pretty unique.

I’m sold. Will have to add that to my shopping list.

When my wife announced that she was leaving me, it was like having Mike Tyson punch me in the gut, each day I woke up. It has destroyed me mentally, emotionally and physically. I had to start taking medication to get myself back under control. But I went from shooting 4-6 times a month to maybe getting in a match once a month. I had zero interest in anything. Food didn’t taste the same and I ended losing 60# due to illness and depression. I’m a skeleton of the man I used to be. 6 months later and I’m now getting to the darkest part of this event in my life. My wife has just moved out and along with her go my 2 children. If it weren’t for the love and support of a handful of friends, I don’t think I’d be here to write this. It’s because of them that I can imagine there being light at the end of this. Some of them can relate while others are also experiencing the same agony I’ve been enduring for the past 6 months. In a few days escrow on my house closes and I will be starting a new chapter in my life. One without the love of my wife or the daily shower of affection from my children. But I have friend’s that care enough to see me through this and it’s my hope that I become a better person for myself and my children because of this. For those of you who read this and have never had to experience divorce, I pray that you never do. But if you know someone that may be going through divorce, please be there for them. They need your ear or maybe even just a hug or text from time to time. Thank you.
