Northwest AR15 Build

[Andyh23]

Almost done! Hand tightened everything but need to get together with my friend to use his vise and properly tighten down the barrel nut and comp.

I wonder why you dont buy a noveske and drop a leupold on it thats a NW gun!!

Why buy a noveske anything? Their parts are all machined by mega now days not even done by SMOS in southern Oregon anymore. (SMOS designed and produced gen3 noveske receivers and rails, not noveske as they would have you believe). Truly a stamp your name on the end product company for the last few years unfortunately. I can't personally think of a single part they (noveske) produce in house.

Finally finished!

The magpul is Wyoming, that's not too bad. Still from free America...

As a bonus Magpul kept their building in Boulder, CO and still has their signage up (last I checked) - bet that goes over great with the anti 2A population in Boulder. Also - glad they stuck to their word and moved those jobs and tax revenue out of CO as they said they would do. - Stand up company - they also set up a rush order to CO residents prior to the mag ban going into effect. Knowing that many didn't want to risk receiving their mags after the deadline Magpul did several regional sales up to the last day they could legally be sold in CO.

One of the reasons they moved operations to WY is that the commute is roughly an hour from most of their former manufacturing sites so those who didn't want to move could keep their jobs if they chose to.

@Andyh23 - Let us know how the Hexmags work out for ya, please? I'm thinking about snagging a few as stopgaps while I wait for either a sale on Lancers or a more reputable shop to have a good price on ETS.

Sure thing, I was actually thinking about getting Troy battlemags cuz they have reinforced feed ramps.

I've put almost a hundred rounds of 5.56 thru one of my hexmags. Not a single hickup yet. I bought 5 more to compliment the first.

 

[tarster]

are the hex mags better than the pmags? a few years back I basicly heard about everywhere I went that everything was terrible compared to the pmags.. I dont think hex mags were very popular at that time, Troy battle mags and lancer mags were coming apart at the seams, and pmags were like 10 - 13$ a mag.. and the others were like either 8 - 10 or 15 a mag..

I have probably 8 or 10 pmag gen 2's and some have stayed loaded for the last 2 years without any issues.

Just wondering.

Of the main choices - magpul, Lancer, troy, hexmags, they are all good. That includes good old gi mags with an anti tilt follower. I usually get magpul gen 2's.

 

[Diamondback]

From what I hear M2's are very good, M3's a little better... as a general rule, my gut is saying if I see one of the major names for around $13 or less it's Buy Time.

BTW, if it helps to know right now Brownells has a deal on 30 Pmags for $289 with code from Slickguns. If I had $300 spare sitting in checking I'd be flipping a coin between that or seeing how many Hexmags I could snag for around $9 at Lanbo's...

At one time part of WY was included in WA Territory. FWIW.

Kinda like the "killing zone" in Yellowstone? The park falls under one federal jurisdiction but there is a small part of the park that doesn't and the way the laws are written (unless they did a work around in the last couple of years) they have no legal way of prosecuting someone for crimes committed in that part.
