    14.5" M4 contour 1:7" trueflight chambered etc by HRE (with quite a few fuckups), carbine gas, some lowpro gas block (Waiting on an adjustable)
    DPMS upper/lower (gross, floppy as hell fit)
    Daniel Defence milspec M16 BCG
    ACE ARFX-E entry-length stock with paracord wrap on buffer tube instead of foam sleeve, 'cos it's easier to get off if I have to
    Timney trigger
    Troy Vtac Alpha 11.0" free-float tube
    Magpul MIAD
    Troy flippy uppy irons
    Trijicon TA31RCO ACOG with fancy schmancy Larue mount
    Waitaki Engineering can


    It's not "top tier" as I bought a lot of the bits when they were all I could get, if starting again I would buy a proper Nice factory rifle. However now that I've got it all going it's not worth the hassle to upgrade, it runs 100% and shoots pretty well.

    Does anyone know of any decent 7rd mags that have a bit of length to them to stick out of mag pouches and make inserting them in the gun faster than a flush fit one, that are actually quality?

    Because all the 5/7 rd mags I've tried so far suck and don't engage the LRBHO all the time etc

    I have some that are 20rd in physical size, but that have an extra ridge or 2 in the stamping which stops more rds being inserted into it.
    It LOOKS and feels as if you can put more in as the follower goes all the way down, but they bloddy wont take them!

    Its a shitty grey area as 7rd of 50 Beo fit perfect in a 20rder... so does it have the appearance of holding more than 7rds of 50 Beo? No.. 223 yes... 300 WSSM No.... etc

    Yes, it's a stupid point of law.

    I guess it has to come down to a calibre-dependant basis

    Got a photo? Do they engage the LRBHO properly, feed reliably?

    Looks good Gimp,
    Do you have any hassles or advice about running a suppressor on an AR15?

    Thinking about something similar based on an NEA 14.5, micro aimpoint, free float tube, timney trigger.
    Where did you get your stock and la rue mount from?
    Cheers.

    They have a chopped lump of plastic in the base to limit them to 7 rds - of the ones I've had (30 odd?) most would take 8 rds with the poxy block in it
    Pretty shithouse given the price of them
