    A mate has been thrashing one very hard,both hunting and range use. Very high round count.
    He loves it,with hunting ammo its a moa gun.
    Only issue he has had is a mag spring failed-easy fix and could happen to anything

    It's literally a $5 part from reloaders. Uncle mikes qd100 and I just found a screw that would work and screwed it on with some blue loctite. Job done

    I had terminal problems with my Brownells AR15 5rnd mags, not one worked. Anyway I complained to Brownells but heard nothing back so I put it down to experience. Today surprisingly, these turned up,

    Now I just need to buy 400 rounds to test....

    Hopefully they are OK. Not teflon coated I think and made Jan 14 instead of June 14, package labeling suggests a known problem to me.

    Yeah, I've got a 12.37, Rainier Special Edition. Very nice.

    If/when I'm buying a new one, I'd go with Keymod or M-Lok.

    Lots of options these days for rails. Look at what your needs and requirements are, not just what looks 'purdy'.

    The Samson modifies off a standard barrel nut is that correct? So I'd actually have to get one of them too because I'm guessing they don't come with - @Digit ? My current is the sar3 type by spikes/seekins. Maybe I'm better to go for a seekins mcsr then.

    Yes. Only $20.

    What don't you like about the SAR3?

    It's ok I just would rather a more comfortable rail I guess. I don't need rails so why have them. Purely a personal thing

    To bring this back up, why keymod? My fingers currently hovering over the buy button for a standard 10 inch evolution.. Only because I can have it in a few days

    Hmm ok good to know, I wasn't planning on key mod but only because I don't think anyone has them here. Unless I want to stick to 9 inch. I was hoping to go to 10 or 11

    Easy to import. As long as the company is registered, you can just order it from the USA.

    Type up a couple bits of paperwork and save yourself some money.
