    ^ make a copy of the stamp, fold it up and store it in the grip. +1 for BCM which has a waterproof seal.

    You can buy a long arm from an ffl in a state you don't live in if it's legal in your state. A lower is a "firearm" it's the part with the serial number.

    The BATF website has answers to these questions.

    Best deal going for either Magpul or GI mags right now? Don't want hexmag, tapco or other poly brands

    No idea on magpul pmags but for metal GI mags i have been liking the D&H mags sold by PSA. Think they are normally 8.99 but go on sale for 6.99-7.99 quite often.

    I trust pmags, and they're for work...so ideally they match issued gear...which is pmags...I can get by with GI mags but they prefer us keep it matching

    I use rubber magazine bands to mark my 277 Wolverine magazines. Less of a worry as it physically cannot chamber in a 5.56 and be fired like the 300BO.

    Just picked up my LWRC 14". Fully ambidextrous. EoTech optic up top. Out the door, $2,600 all said and done. Not bad for California since you won't be seeing these around in a few months.

    Looking to build my first upper from scratch. What's yalls suggestions for upper receiver and barrel? Looking for a 16in barrel, undecided between 5.56 or .223wylde. This will be my all around beater, hopefully do everything well rifle. The upper will be going on a lower I already have with a 3.5lb CMC trigger and magpul acs stock. All of my other rifles have been radical or psa complete uppers, and I'm wanting to build something a little nicer this time without completely breaking the bank. I've been looking at Rainier for barrels so far.

    Nothing wrong with Rainier barrels, I'd be looking at BCM too.

    I used an Aero upper on my blackout build, good receiver, decent price. Went a little uptown with a noveske barrel but I was on a roll.

    Found BCM blem uppers with parts kit for $80 so going to pick one of those up. Looked into Rainier and BCM barrels, then did some reading on ar15.com and came across Faxon gunner barrels and LaRue stealth both with lots of good reviews. Too many choices!

    I just recently finished my AR build. I went with a Spike's upper and a 16" mid length Spike's barrel chambered in 5.56 and 1:7 twist. I am very happy with the barrel and receiver. Then for the BCG I used a FailZero M16 cut bolt. The nickel boron coating makes cleaning so much easier!
