I would also imagine Ruger would be able to do this quite easily.

...or a polymer grip frame...

I reached out to Tisas in their forum on AR15.com, and I was told it's something they're thinking about.

I just remember hearing QC nightmare stories back in the 90's.

Looking for a little advice here. Years ago, I was into 1911s pretty hard but eventually sold them off (to include a Nighthawk and Miller Custom), and I've decided that I just really miss the handling/trigger etc of a good 1911. I thought an "updated" 2011 hi-cap design in 9mm would be cool. Now, this would just be a fun range gun (no comps), so I don't really want to spend Stacatto/comp-gun money. I was looking at the RIA MS HC Tac combo. From what I understand, is that it's the reiteration of Para-Ordnance. I'm old enough to remember PO guns from years ago, which honestly makes me a little leery of the RIA. What would y'all recommend for something preferably below $1k?

Anyone have any experience with the Strike Industries version?

cool thanks

Is the Tubb flatwire spring really worth it for a precision .308 build? I figure if I run a SLR Sentry 7, would a standard A2 receiver extension/.308 rifle buffer and spring be good to go? I'm using a Luth MBA-1 stock.

Yep, the FNs are shooters. I would think that if they would start making them in 6.5, they would be great sellers.

I found an AP stud....cheaper than dirt of all places had them.

Thanks! And it fits no problem?

Anyone know if the Lancer bipod stud would work?

Ok, so there are slots on the bottom of the rail. Anyone know where I can find an AP bipod stud? Anything else that will work?

Ok, so I found one for a great price. Anyway, is there a place on the bottom of the tube for mounting a bipod?

Well, anyway....does anyone know if the top rail on the AP tube will match the rail on the M5 upper? Or better yet anyone have contact info for AP? I know they're out of business, but the guy couldn't have dropped off the earth.
