Looks good, but why would they put the KeyMod holes backwards?

Lots of options out there to suit everyone's particular tastes, and lot's that deserve a look before you make a choice. Right now, I am absolutely loving my ALG Defense EMR V2! Gotta be about the best value going. I am running the 15" version, and I think it was like $165 if I recall. Has a fantastic mounting system, feels great in hand at 1.75" OD, and has m-lok slots at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o'clock for lots of options to stick on rail sections or accessories if you do ever want to mount anything. I also like that the top has a short picatinny section there at the end of the rail to mount a front sight, but absent from the rest for a more comfortable grip as far as thumb placement goes.

Ok, maybe this is a silly rookie issue, I don't know. I have searched the site and the web in general and cannot find any info on my problem... I recently developed an issue with my hiperfire 24c where I am missing the reset when trying to quickly double tap the short range stuff during practice... I know this is a shooter error type issue, not a mechanical issue, but I am having a very hard time overcoming it. Luckily, it hadn't happened on the clock until this weekend. Three times during a match yesterday I got one boom and then nothing on the second pull, causing what feels like a huge delay while I mentally processed the situation and then reset the trigger for a third pull. What do I need to work on to get myself past this? I hate to ask for help on something that seems like it should be so simple to figure out, but it has been happening off and on for about a month now and I just can't seem to beat it.

WOW! That is insane! Can the results be seen anywhere online yet?

I have one of these I leave mounted on a short offset rail section. I throw it on for night matches. So far so good, and boy is it ever BRIGHT on high! http://www.amazon.com/Olight-M22-flashlight-EdisonBright-Manufacturer/dp/B00BSHBCNS

I have the VG6 Epsilon on my latest build. It is pretty effective, and a great all around device, but obviously not as effective as something like the JP brakes, Jerry Michulek, Armalite, etc. That said, in one of the tests on youtube where they compared a bunch of brakes, the Gamma performed better than the Epsilon, IIRC. The test I saw only measured linear recoil reduction though... I have no experience at all with the YHM part, so I guess I really have no tangible value to add to the conversation about which of the two is better. Based on the looks of the designs I would assume the Gamma to do a much better job, but what do I know?

All I am saying is I better stick to a carbine gas system, lol.

What are yall using for mounts on this budget priced optic? Warne X-skel gen 2. Seems solid and as a bonus Warne supports the sport. Picked up a second one off the RM3G prize table. I have the 3" offset from Vortex. It is well made and works great. I think the 2" would have also worked, but I didn't want to have the scope mount as far forward as I have seen some others. Are these the rebranded ADM mounts? I have several of those. They are great! Anybody else rocking the new Samson DMR. Samson is a huge supporter of 3-gun which I like. My 10% discount code puts them around $135 at Optics Planet. That's about the cheapest I've seen for a ADM/LaRue quality QD mount. http://www.opticsplanet.com/sam-dmr30-0-dmr-30mm-mount-0-offset.html Looks like a nice mount, especially for the price. It looks like O.P. doesn't carry the 3" model you have pictured though... At least I can't find it on their site.

Trigger mechanism doesn't know if it's a dry fire or not... If there are shells in the tube, one should drop when you press the trigger, in preparation to be chambered.

Not sure I understand the problem. Pulling the trigger should drop a shell onto the lifter getting it ready to chamber as the gun cycles...

I am by no means an expert, but as I understand it, basically.... When you fire, the mass of the bolt moving forward against the rest of the mass of the gun coming back will load the inertia spring, which then cycles the gun. The lighter the bolt, the less it will load the spring, meaning less energy in the spring then to cycle the bolt.

http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/ctgy/stoeger-m3500-parts A little hint...an M3500 lifter trimmed works really well in a friends M3000. No to highjack the thread, but thanks for that link! The last time I took my M3000 apart to refine my original port work, I managed to loose the carrier pin retainer. This is the first place I have seen that had one. Not a huge issue really. I twisted a small wire tightly in the groove around the pin and then folded it back and forth as needed as I tucked it down into the slot for the retainer. It's been a non issue for 500-600 rds, but it will be nice to know it's back together properly.

I'm a huge fan of the American Defense "recon" mount... These ones are the 20MOA model, and I think it should clear from the looks of your pic, plus they do make an even more extended version

Thanks guys! The GovTec ones look good to me, I like the idea of them threading in as well, and not relying solely on epoxy. Not that I don't think a good epoxy can handle the job, but a little extra piece of mind is always a good thing..

What is everyone doing for sling attachment with the Luth-AR stocks? I've not had any luck finding info on the subject, beyond the suggestion from Luth-AR to epoxy in some Uncle Mike's sockets, but I can't even seem to find those anywhere...
