Already done, and I agree, it was a great idea.

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but the 17S is what I'm saving up for as well. I might pick up a 16S if prices come down any later this year, but otherwise, I have plenty of 5.56mm platforms already.

There are two items I'd like anyone interested in the topic to read. Please consider carefully how you react to the events of the past few months, and how you will focus your efforts to safeguarding our rights. As Jeff said, we have an Activism forum. Get involved! Yes we...er..y'know...

Thanks for the first-hand report, atek3. I see Winchester has plenty of marketing budget to waste. :D I hope you get to meet some of the other THR founders, someday.

Two boxes of 9mm Gold Dots were damaged and missing rounds when they arrived. The missing rounds were not in the shipping container, either. ATG has offered to replace the boxes but I haven't closed the loop with them yet. They've been responsive and willing to fix the problem, and to me...

I'd have trouble trusting a wireless system without knowing more about how the communications is secured. It seems like it would be far more vulnerable to interception or spoofing than a wired system. On the other hand, anyone prepared and able to defeat a wireless system is probably...

Wow, can you say half off SCAR and PS90?

I'm real happy my license is good another couple of years. The crowds should have subsided by that time.

My first carry pistol was a Glock 19. I understood that it had no external safety like other firearms, and that I had to carry it in a suitable holster. It generally stayed in the holster, and it never went bang unless I pulled the trigger. I never pulled the trigger except when at the range...

The TA31 should have dual illumination; fiber optics and tritium. How old is it? You can try calling Trijicon to see if they'll fix it under warranty. They might not if you're not the original owner.

Some of the best fun I've had at a range was "trading stuff" with other people at the range. One mag from yours for one mag from mine, etc. That, and providing general guidance for newer shooters when appropriate. You asked why not share? Well, general liability concerns. If someone gets...

I place more faith in what the manufacturer says than what an internet website tells you. Naturally, that includes this internet website. :D DPMS's website lists products segregated between .223 Remington and 5.56mm. The "Sweet 16" is listed under the .223 Remington section. Call DPMS and...

If it's chambered for .223, do not run 5.56mm through it. It may fire once without a problem. It may fire 100 times without a problem. Eventually you will feel pain. The DPMS website states ".223 Remington" for this model, so I would call them to clarify further if necessary. By "full size...

If you have your C&R FFL, Midway has a slightly better price than Express Police Supply on that item.

Nice choice, I also own a Glock 19. As everyone else has said, it was probably the limp wrist and not the Glock itself that was at fault. I can recall one failure to feed that I witnessed first hand, but it turned out to be the ammunition that was at fault. One round of WWB 9mm had a case...

You're going to want some IR illumination as well. Gen 3 night vision gear is in the 3.5k-7k range depending on what you want. How much does he want to spend?

Lots of options, all the way down to a $30 BSA laser. Is it for plinking or more serious use?

If it's a plinker, there's no need to go high-end, right? I'd look for a 16" lightweight profile barrel chambered for 5.56mm and a 1/9 or 1/7 twist. The "ideal" barrel for me to meet those specs is the one used on a Colt 6520, but that's spendy if you can find one. For plinking purposes...

Until they're available for purchase, they're vaporware as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't keep money aside to buy one at this point, not unless your gun cabinet is already well stocked. That said, I did hear from a guy that dogs can't look up, I believe him, why would he make it up?

If it's still available at that price, get it before they raise it. It's a very solid choice. You can always buy other brands later, they'll be available.
