    Certainly! My first maglock that I bought was Juggernaut Tactical's but after running it for a while I didn't like that theirs deletes the bolt catch so than I found out about ARMaglock and am really happy with it now..

    Paired with their Kingpin, you'll be able to install all the features an AR should have

    Bought it for my birthday in March, so shooting it is long overdue my friend.

    How well does the magnifier work with the Holosun? I have two 510s and have wondered about having a magnifier to put on for specific uses but not to have on all the time.

    It works great for mid/long range. This is the Holosun HM3X. I'll link you to it. What I like about it is that it flips to the side(left or right). So like you said, if you don't want to have it on all the time... Plus it has a quick disconnect

    You'll need to get the spacer for the 510 if you run the magnifier.

    Thanks.
    I like the quick disconnect as I would only use it sparingly and prefer not to have it on the rifle at all most of the time.

    I've been on a retro kick for a few months. Bought a couple and changed out a couple from flat tops. The CMMG has a dedicated 22LR upper, I bought it around 11 years ago.

    All are SBR's except the top one.

    Im not a fan of the CA fin grips for compliance as you cant wrap a thumb around for a one handed grip and good purchase on the firearm with your trigger hand.

    I have mine setup with a sparrow dynamics grip and its been great and there is ZERO grey area in relation to the law as there could be argued with something like the JT grip (i did smooth out the corners of the raised portion of the buffer tube and the buffer tube end plate so the top of my hand and web between thumb and pointer finger didnt get chewed up)

    You have basically installed the conversion and just decided to leave that rifle set up that way I assume

    Unlike S&W's MP15 CMMG uses a standard AR upper, and lower. Their barrel has a flange on it that the bolt collar hooks on to. The collar stays on the barrel while you shoot. I've put countless rounds thru mine shooting CCI SV and subsonics both suppressed and unsuppressed. I've yet to have a jam, I did break a firing pin once. Took a pic of it and emailed CMMG. Had 2 new ones in a week. The firing pin removes from the bolt similar to a standard AR bolt.
