If it was me - even if the police don't proceed with an order of council -I would buy a $50 monster man grip and save $750 as that seems to be better value to me.
Oh and Hamil's are currently selling the stock for $799 at the moment.
Cool storyQuote:

Would save the cash for a E cat safe if things look like going that way Foxhound
for $800 he can fuck right off Beavis
Fletch Foxhound,Beavis,
it was a freebie.. I was just trying to see if someone had tried one before I bothered fitting it... Not realising it would turn into a slang off match about the producer and his pricing..
I didnt spend money IT WAS FREE !!! OK Sometimes I dont read everything either before I put my foot wrong place. Thats Free ,Gratis,Nada ,Zy ro, zero dollero ..
My fault should have started conversation like " From a technical point of view fitting,weight,strengh,durability prospective (NOT MONETARY) what do you guys think of these??
Has anyone tried one? If so what were your thoughts ? The manufacturer can worry about his method to market and if hes too expensive he ll accumulate stock not profit. That was never my concern.
I don't know anyone who has bought one so I cannot comment on the technical points of that stock - however from using thumb hole stock before ( I assume its has the same aesthetics) it pays to have an ambi safety as you are no longer able to operate the left side safety with your thumb
Thank you I see a guy selling ambi safety on trademe. AR15 ambidextrous safety | Trade MeQuote:

Whoa this got serious all of the sudden
Yep...Ask a question get a barrage of how much the supplier charges and all sorts when price wasn't the question... Never mind teach me to word my queriesQuote:

By the way that bit I got from you is Awsome and you were right it works great..
I thought based on the options of everyone none of the above appliesQuote:

Nah every ones opinions OK except bout the overpriced tangents going every where as It Was FREE... Everyone can comment freely about fits,styles,ugly but read the post it was Free ... and everybodyQuote:

(That means it cost nothing so I thought before fitting it Id ask if anyone had one , had used one,or knew anything about them) Cos it was free..... And also cost nothing ...
Good to hear mate see if you can wear it out.Quote:

Just a theory.
Maybe the Police will refuse to switch them over to E-Cat to kee the E-Cat levels down and demand a change of stock to comply with A-Cat.
Off topic a bit sorry but
As far as E Cat guns go what would be the most common that people want to own. Is it the AR? or is it more like collectable stuff a bit rarer than the AR ? Maybe kept locked up and not used often or what?
What do you think the most damaging gone off the rails weapon of choice would be ? The mini 14 seems to be able to get rounds out there in a hurry for example and thats A Cat no question ?
Not too mention the harm someone could do with a short 10/22 sub sonic with a big mag and noiseless. A freind reckons thats probably the most dangerous weapon ..
Im sick of the "If" "Buts" and "Maybes"
If it happens - it happens. Prepairing yourself for every future possibility is taxing and stupid.
until something actually happens lets leave it be, It seems to ruin every ar15 thread that is ever started. all with the same result - no result
Seen this National Shooters Association NZ I have no idea what it means though at all...Quote:

AR15 would be the most common simply because it has near perfect ergonomics, inherent accuracy, modularity and mountains of aftermarket parts.Quote:

Just had a looksee round the parliament website and they dont have any real info on the guts of the Bill 285. Except to say it was read and went through.
Outside the fact it says it clarifys things mostly info seems to be about air gun imports and look alike pistol air guns and very little on much else except to say it clarifies what is or isnt anMSSA.
Does any know what that clarification is at all?
If you fit the stock to your ar, make sure you pick yourself up an extra safety detent spring or three. If it is like the B&C stocks, and you ever want to take the stock off, you will almost certainly wreck the spring doing so.
And if you do pick up the ambi-safety, don't forget to ensure the hammer is cocked before you try to take the old safety out :thumbsup:
I would like to own (in no particular order):Quote:

With what is happening in the US, it looks as if the supplies of AR's have dried up.
The yanks are buying anything that shoots, mags and ammo like crazy!
yup i think i bought my CMMG at the perfect time
i'm thinking off ditching my CMMG heavy barrel 16inch 1:9 as its too heavy for what i want, was going to flute it but i wont lose enough weight i don't think, what options would you be looking at ? would like a 16inch as it seems to be a good all round length yes ? and something light weight and in 1:8 theres these barrels on trade me but there 1:7 and chrome lined
AR15 14.5" Carbine Barrel - NEW | Trade Me
If you've got money to burn, then replace the barrel.
My AR started its life as a 16" Bull Barrel (.930 dia). While it was not light, it was WAY lighter than the RRA Predator .308
I had, that thing was HEAAAAVY!
SSRNZ turned the barrel down to a medium profile (.75 dia) from chamber to muzzle, and fluted it before and after the gas block. Now its lighter, handles better, looks better and will put 5 rounds of Hornady training ammo into a group the size of a 10 cent piece at 100m time after time.
I can do those barrels for $500 outside of trademeQuote:

ah i didn't realize it was someone on the forum, cool well from my knowledge that barrel will suit my needs, spanners what brand are those barrels i thought i read CMMG somewhere as Ive had my eye on them a few weeks ? also how much do they weigh ?
They are from the factory unbranded - end up getting a bunch of names on them, but they wont tell us whos due to contractual obligations.
Would have to put one on the scale to weigh, and i'm away for another month - get my mate to do it when he gets a chance.
will the 10.5s keep the gun over 762mm?
Id like a shorty barrel carbine gas tube set up but im not sure what will happen regarding the buffer and so forth seeing as it is set up currently as a mid length 16 inch barrel. anyone know?
sweet no worries also do you have any front sights that would go with that barrel as i dont currently have one having a bull barrel etc.
Comes down to what stock you are using for lengthQuote:

If you plan to use an optic at all, flag the idea of a front sight. PITA
If you end up buying another barrel, let me know if you want to sell the bull barrel.Quote:

gutted just checked CMMG site and bull barrel is .936 at the gas ports so i'll need to get a gas block too, are they expensive ?
a 16" barrel thats 0.936 at the gas port?? thats FUCKING BULLSHITQuote:
