    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

    I run keymod on my AR's rail and it's great because it's actually HOLES in the rail so it's able to be lighter than if it were picatinny, there are also adapters for keymod to picatinny if the attachment you require is only able to be used on picatinny.
    Problem with M-lok currently, is that there's not really enough attachments for them. I can see M-lok being more popular in the far future though. Just my 10c.

    Yep that's it.. I was convinced it was a lubrication issue to start with but kept coming back to the mags

    I've only used mine a handful of times, I will keep an eye out for any failure to feeds and report back my findings. Will throw a hundred or so of rounds down range on Sunday with these mags and see how I go.

    That bugger moment when your new suppressor bushing ends up right in the small section of barrel

    Lol Murphy strikes again!
    Looks like you need to turn your 16"(I assume) into a 14.5"

    Has anyone cut down their AR barrel before? Mines currently 16 thinking about cutting it to 14.5, one to help my floating bushing on the suppressor but also to hide it in and 11 inch rail.
