    Correct ^^^

    If you dry fire it the safety will not move from fire to safe, so you can pick up the firearm at a later date and all you have to do is attempt to move the safety and you will know wether or not there is a round in the chamber.

    It wouldn’t save me any time. If it goes in or out of the safe it gets the chamber checked regardless of what position the safety is in. If I pick it up after it’s been laying around for some reason (and I’m not out hunting) it gets the chamber checked.

    If someone picks it up and pulls the trigger and there is a round in the tube..... just doesn't seem safe to me. :notsure:

    With Christmas coming, if money wasn’t an option, what would be the components you would use to build or what built AR15 would you want?

    Try out a factory built KAC 14.5” in the Mlok or Keymod flavor you prefer, its the best.

    It would look like a WWSD Rifle, mostly.

    10" aluminum forend, slickside upper, lightweight 1-X scope in an Aero ultralight mount, 16 to 18" pencil barrel w/ A2 FH. LW BCG, fed by a tunable gas block.

    Lower would be GWACS w/ JP silent carbine weight captured setup, and either a Geissele SSA-E or KE Arms SLT-1. Add handstop/flashlight of choice.

    Feed the thing 77 gr SMK/TMK's from 30 round PMAGS. Rifle weighs 7ish pounds and runs like a top.

    I've got a question for you guys: does anybody know a place to pick up an A1 stock setup? I find my beard disagrees with collapsible stocks and the A1 has the right LOP for my preferences.

    I believe RRA has them, I know they used to.

    I actually found that Magpul has fixed stocks that fit over carbine tubes as well, so now I'm kinda stuck again on going A1 or fixed carbine.

    Does it have to be a A1 or is the A2 too long? I just finished up a build and went back to an A2, and could not be happier with the results. Although the buffer spring really twangs when shooting suppressed, so I just added this stealth buffer spring, but i haven't tried it out yet.

    I got my A2 stock here, they have both the UTG and RRA.

    A2 is just too long, really. A1 is good and shorter is fine. I'm looking to build a general purpose rifle and part of that is the ability for other shooters to use it. The twang doesn't bother me yet thankfully, lol

    Looking for a rail bolt that will bolt on factory handguards. Any recommendations or anyone have one for sale?

    You mean adding a picatinny rail to a regular G.I. type hadngaurd? Not sure if there is an option for that? But you can swap out a G.I. type for something like a magpul one.

    But i might not be understanding either..it is early and pre coffee fo rme :)
