sorry, wrong thread.
SMG LEE - please take a look at let me know what you think
SMG Lee,
Have you had a chance to look at the ADDAX tactical GPU uppers? They are based off of the PWS short-stroke gas piston. The uppers look like they are in great condition and look pretty stout. I would like your comments please.

I just bought a LMT MRP Piston Carbine on your recommendation... It looks great, I'm out to the range tomorrow to see how it shoots.

I look forward to your range report and photos please.....
that is awesome, I bet you will love the MRP piston...
the final version of the piston will be at our shoot this weekend. painted FDE and with ACOG ECOS.....will post pictures and range report.
I went out on Sunday.... I love the thing. (Yes if I could marry it, I would) Very solid, very easy to shoot and I really can't believe the clean up or lack of it. I have couple of other AR's and they take forever to clean, but the LMT was a breeze. If you have the cash this is the way to go as far as an AR.
Sorry I haven't taken any pics yet.
I played around with a LWRC M6A1, Paul Howe in 5.56 yesterday. Me likey. Very neat CQB rear sight, nice trigger, a real nice package, plus it came with enough bells & whistles to keep any gear queer happy.
Those are really nice, Lac. I think Longshot has the A2 model... I was tempted to pick one up at a gun show awhile back, but I couldn't justify the cost with the amount of shooting I do.
oh, and I ended up replacing that safariland holster with a serpa; it just so much easier.
I just bought this barrel ..
16inch mid length, mid weight.
cold hammer forged
M4 feed ramp
1:7 twist
Double Chrome lined
made by the same people that makes Noveske's hammer forged barrels
Just debating on how to build a gun around it...
Trying to Source a Mid Length KAC URX with a flip up front sight gas block, or a Rifle URX with a hidden gas block...
AAC 52T Blackout Flash hider
Surefire Scout light
The usual TangoDown SCAR Panels and QD VFG
and of course...EOTech, this time I will go with a Model 555.

Sounds like she'll be a beauty, Chen!
Hey what is your opinion on how mags should face when worn on your belt, on your weak side? Do you prefer rounds facing forward, or to the rear? If that doesn't make sense, I can clarify. I prefer mine facing to the rear; simple like drawing a pistol. I only ask because Costa does this weird thing on a video I saw. The rounds were pointed forward, so he grabbed it with his palm facing outboard, and then twisted the mag up and inward. The guys knows his way around an M4, and I was curious because you had recently did a class with him. Thanks

Sounds like mine so far...
Hey Chen, did you ever get any more of those Tangodown mags? I'm still magless...

I need to pull my had out my pocket and get me another receiver, Chen thanks for all the good info in this thread. as for what I will make hmmmm, I still want to build a shorty, but I am thinking 20" barrel rifle.
This is a preference thing...
I always believe in wearing my mag on the support side...that being said...
The bullet facing back creats a nice beer can style grab, which is secure and makes for quick insert while a nice tug on the mag to ensure seating.
the bullet forward style is more handgun magazine loading style, with the index finger running along the front of the mag to ensure proper guiding of the mag into the mag well..
I prefer the bullet forward so my pistol and rifle magazine all load the same way...some like the beer can grab it is just up to you...
Sounds like mine so far...
Hey Chen, did you ever get any more of those Tangodown mags? I'm still magless...
I ordered 160 of those new Tangodown mags...yours are in that order....
Try to look into a nice 18inch barrel gun...a bit shorter than a 20, but just as accurate and effective...
So weve had the LMT MRP Pistons on order since Jan, I believe. Ive been wanting one for ages especially after reading your excellent reviews SMGLee.
Well last week I finally got impatient and bought a 6920 and I was happy. Wouldnt you know it, 4 days later we get these plain white boxes with a simple "CQB PS16" printed on one end! You should have seen my face!LOL.
Well luckily I had not shot the Colt yet and was able to return it, and am now the happy owner of a LMT MRP Piston. Well, have to go touch it some more now....
sorry for the late reply.....
Matter of fact, Military Moron has a ADDEX set up, mid length piston with a hydralic buffer and PWS' muzzle brake, it shot very smooth, but I can not determine the piston performance because I really want to shoot the gun without the brake the hydralic buffer.
the overall build is nice and the PWS performance is on par with the LMT, PWS is basically the only system to move the weight of the piston rod from the barrel to the carrier.
You will love your LMT Piston, it is one of the best shooting modular platform money can buy.
