    Are floor mats a mod?
    So, if I duct tape a paint stick to the grip stock on my glock 19 it’s legal?
    Wooohoo!

    Or, you could save your money for a year and buy a good quality gun you won’t regret later. As @NorthwestCruiser says, buy once, cry once.
    Buying quality is never a bad decision.

    I approach most things this way. Totally agree with buy once cry once. Unfortunately I must now weigh acquiring a CPL, jumping through the hoops, waiting a year, on top of whatever else may be in effect by the end of 2019 or into 2020... Against paying some extra cash in the long run to build something that likely starts out as less than adequate.

    I don’t mean to make getting an AR sound impossible in 2019. But let’s be honest, my situation is pretty unique. I fall into a weird window where it almost seems not worth the trouble to pursue that type of firearm next year.

    @scollins got me a PTR 9CT and a SB brace. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

    That's a sexy bitch! How much fitting did the brace need (if at all)?

    nice. Heard nothing but good things on the PTR ones. Just wish they had stuck with a traditional handgaurd instead of going their own route.

    I just need to swap the handgaurd on my Zenith clone to match the mp5-pdw setup (well minus the trigger pack). Which is the foregrip handgaurd

    Yeah they shut it down. There was always SGN and waguns. SGN was more geared toward the Seattle area vs Waguns is more statewide.

    I havent been on NWFA in years so no clue but id imagine they are still around. I know that was one of the bigger places for OR people.

    Crazy. I bought my first gun from a guy on SGN. Back when you could buy and sell freely.

    quite a bit actually. I did a lot of filing and took the dremel to the rounded top part. Some people have said theirs fit right on, one guy on a forum just uses a rubber mallet to put it on and take it off lol. It's pretty good now. I have to use a brass punch to remove and install the pin though.

    I looked really hard at the Zenith but already have a PTR 91 and figured I'd finish the family. I've spent a lot of time on forums reading about them all. A lot of problems with non HK mags it seems. I ordered two HK's for 66 a piece :(

    The PTR ones have issues putting stocks on? or just an issue with the braces?

    Yeah i picked up the Zenith when they first came out so PTR or the HK offerings werent an option yet. And i wasnt going to pay the custom parts kit prices. Thankfully i havent had any issues. is it the PTR ones having mag issues? I know Ive only used the ones that came with mine so far

    the SB arm brace instructions say "minor fitment adjustments may be needed due to tight tolerances on various models. If so, have a gunsmith install". Some people didn't have to do any filing, some do.

    I've heard of FTF FTE with all clones when using certain mags. It doesn't seem to be consistent though. Some people have reported POF mags working great, others not. ETS mags seem to have problems for many. Others say only HK mags run good. Of course like always, the people having problems speak the loudest on the internet. Atlantic Firearms will show up on all forums talking about the PTR and say they've had very few complaints from customers.
