Thanks for the input. I decided to keep it just in case.

I guess I'm not picturing a scenario where I would ever need it again. The comp I have on the gun only fits the new barrel. If I were to sell the gun I'd sell it with the new barrel and comp. If I don't want the comp at some point in the future that would be the only scenario where I'd use the...

I got a different barrel and was thinking of selling the original, but I realized it has the serial number on it. Are there any downsides or potential issues of someone else knowing my serial number? When people post pics they usually black out the serial number, not exactly sure why, but that's...

I gotta get a lot better at shooting before I can rock some short shorts like that! haha

I wear normal stuff if I'm practicing certain drills. I don't walk around town with an AR, gun belt and PC so that's why I was looking for something more for the range and that I could also use hiking. I wouldn't change into them at the range, I'd just put them on in the morning.

I wear shorts too when it's hot, but like long pants when doing stuff where I'm shooting from the kneeling position. The range I go to is outdoors and you set up your own targets to run whatever drills you want. It's a little different than a typical outdoor or indoor range. Stretch jeans are...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check some of these out

They work and I'll continue to use them until I find something better, but they're hot. Not all that fun to be in jeans when its 100 degrees. I prob have a pair of frog suit bottoms somewhere but would rather not wear camo around.

Anyone have suggestions for good range pants. Don't need to be actual tactical pants, I was thinking hiking pants maybe. I've tried some tactical pants and I really don't need 1000 pockets and they're all too baggy. One pair the calf section was larger than the thigh haha. Who is built like...

I never realized the bullet basically disintegrates when hitting hard steel. I was picturing more of a full bullet hitting the plate, bouncing off the ground and coming back at me. I guess I'm just an idiot haha

Just to be clear I always wear eye protection even if I'm shooting steel at 500 yards. I'm not really worried about getting hit with little stuff. I'm only concerned about something that will kill me or really mess me up permanently. It sounds like if the plates are angled it's minimal risk. The...

About a week ago I shot some steel targets silhouette angled down (223 AR) with a guy that was an instructor. Not just an average instructor, but someone with a pretty lengthy resume. We were maybe 25 yards away. Really fun and so I went out to buy my own and I'm seeing that min safe distance is...

I'm looking at getting some hard plates and was wondering if anyone had input on shooters/swimmers cut. I'm looking at Guardian 3S9m plates and I could get small sapi or 10x12 shooters cut. I know medium sapi is too big and effects my pistol shooting that's why I was going to go with small, but...

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out fastenal. I don't have a grinder or belt sander and shortening a significant amount with a file seems like a PIA.

I doubt it, hand guards are from PSA and picatinny rail is from magpul. I think it's because the barrel is short, I have similar room on a regular sized AR with keymod hand guards. I ended up just using one screw, seems sturdy enough. The picatinny rail is only 1.5 inches long so I don't think...

No the screw is hitting the barrel. I think I'm just going to get a smaller 3 slot rail and just use 1 screw. The rail is so short that 1 screw should be fine

I think it's a low pro hand guard because I'd need 1/4" screws which I couldn't find at either Lowes or Home Depot. I'll try Ace next. I was able to get one screw in, there's more room towards the muzzle. It actually seems to be held in place pretty well with just one. It'll bother my OCD, but I...

Never had M Lok before and need some help. I think it's one of the dumbest inventions I've ever seen and I'll never buy another firearm with M Lok hand guards. I have Keymod on a different rifle and they're awesome, but I'd rather not buy a whole new set of hand guards. The problem I'm running...

I've been searching for sharks with laser beams on their heads, would even settle for some ill-tempered sea bass. Haven't had any luck.

I haven't. But I have met some people that did that somewhat as their living and they always had tools. They weren't what I'd call professionals, but they had basic stuff they could put into a backpack. I have other security measures in place so like you said hopefully either a safe or...
