It's the Ti firing pin. The price might seem steep but they really did price it right. Cheaper than the lightest carrier out there by a good margin and it includes a couple bits the others don't. The question is, will Boomfab respond?

I think that very sentence alone is why the Gas Hog and Seekins have been brought up multiple times. They don't look like the rest but get pretty good marks from joes and pros alike.

I use the Safariland 774. Cheap, adjustable and holds the mag nice and snug. Note that you need to supply your own belt loop, ELS fork or teklok. http://www.amazon.com/Safariland-Competition-Magazine-Holder-Tactical/dp/B003YD0KZU

The Noveske Gen 2/3 lowers are forged.Here is their billet lower with the flaired magwell IMG_0194-800.jpg Thier flared magwell lowers are all forged. The picture you linked was pulled from here. http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2011/03/01/noveske-flared-forged-lower-aka-the-ffl/ That lower is a Noveske, it has a larger magwell, and it is a billet - not forged. I will make sure to call them tomorrow to confirm. They may have changed to billet for the G3s but all previous N4s with flared magwells were forged just like the article says.

Make sure to pick up and hold both the Nova and Super before picking. The Nova has a thinner receiver and felt better in my hands compared to the Super. The safety and forearm release level are in places easier to manipulate as well (my opinion) . You said Comfortech wasn't a selling point but if it was you can buy that pad and put it on the Nova as well.

I believe JP gets thier barrels from the same place Nordic does, Wilson Arms. What they do with the stock barrel (contour, cryo) is obviously their own.

I use Hornady Steel Match 55gr for any shots out to 300yds. It's on the slow side compared to hotter factory loads but is sub-moa for me out to that distance with my Nordic 18". Other factory loads mentioned like xtac and xm193 were about 2moa for me and cost about the same. Only trouble with steel match can be finding it.

The weight of the buffer is what matters, not the length of it or the spring. If you have a standard weight buffer it's actually a bit lighter than the JP rifle buffer already. If you have a H buffer then I'd either remove some weights from it or buy a standard weight carbine buffer.

I haven't shot a lot of the 75gr Steel Match, maybe one box, but I didn't have any key holing out of my barrel (Nordic 18" wylde 1/8 twist). Lot number is: 3140731.

The 1.3" ID is the width. The height is more than that to accommodate the gas tube and top of the block.

So you ended up using a set screw style block? . 750? And even then you're still having issues shooting supported? I've been thinking about teaming this rail up with a 16.5 voodoo barrel but after seeing that most aren't able to get much of a reduction in gas using an adjustable block I may just use a standard low pro block and if need be a rubber city adjustable key.

The M4 and T1 are both 2 moa dots. On paper there's a large weight difference but in practice I couldn't feel it. Most likely because it's so far back and in between my hands. The largest benifit I saw was increased vision around the scope.

3.9oz on my scale.
