    Sorry guys, I'll take the blame for the politics. I will stop. Carry on.

    Here's my $.02....
    I'm NOT pro-gun control (clearly, given that I own a few), BUT I really am not a fan of circumventing the full-auto laws by manipulating the butt stock to increase the rate of fire, i.e. Slide Fire.

    There is really no benefit to increasing the rate of fire on a semi-automatic weapon other than to burn through ammo. Civilians don't need to provide cover fire for each other while hunting. And if there's an apocalypse you're going to want fewer moving parts on your weapons for more reliability (I really need to get a bolt action .223). I'm just saying that I would not be against regulating the legal sale of devices that increase the mechanical rate of fire on semi-automatic weapons. If you're finger can pull the trigger as fast as your weapon can cycle then good on you, go to town. But if you need to increase the rate of fire by buying something mechanical that attaches to your weapon.... nope.

    Again, just my thoughts.

    I've had an SDN-6 for a long time. I'd buy one again. Main selling point for me is Inconnel construction. Bulletproof (npi). There is a reason turbo blades and rocket motors are made of it. I think there are some other newer exotic metal cans out now, stellite, being one. Not a Ti fan for anything that gets hot....

    If you pay more than $40 for an Anderson, you paid too much. I've got 3.

    I know you and many other in here are all about the price :)
    With that Larue lower you can only buy it if you bought their upper kit. Look at the ordering page.
    It will however fit other uppers.

    Midway USA has AR Stoner parts on sale constantly. I have been avoiding Cheaper than Dirt lately because of how their warehouse and shipping prices work.

    Correct. I saw them on an anniversary sale at a local place last week for $29.99. Two weeks before that they were $39.99. They seem to be on sale more often than not and they're not bad lowers, either.

    You do know that Trump and his whole family are NRA life members right! Now obviously doesn’t automatically mean he’s in our pocket. But I guarantee they are always in his ear!

    This is true. But you did say "cheap", lol. In all honesty, I keep a surplus of AR Stoner parts for the one rifle that actually has them installed jsut because they're so cheap. Not my go to, but definitely fun to shoot. I haven't had to repair any yet *knocks on wood*.

    Yep. Almost all lower forgings are made by 2-3 manufacturers. They get put in a CNC that uses the exact same CAD specs that everyone else uses. I've paid more for billet lowers a few times, but never could justify an extra $50-100 for a skull or a spider carved in the side.
