quote:HK 9X guns operate from a delayed roller locked bolt. The bolt has a locking piece and rollers that lock into the trunion where the barrel is mounted. The locking piece has shoulders cut at a specific angle. The angle determines the "delay" before the rollers unlock from the trunion and the bolt/carrier returns to the rear to load a new round.quote:Sorry for the noob question but what is a roller lock versus a normal AR?quote:
As Bender has found, roller locks are a sickness. They're like a bag of potato chips. You can't have just one. Eventually you'll have enough to need a roller lock safe.
Very much so.
I honestly don't know what prices are going to do on either the new HK imports or the foreign imports. Some people find it really, really important to own stuff actually made by HK, but considering how many clones I've seen run with full auto sears, abused the heck out of and still running I'm less fussy about it than a lot of the HK kool aide drinkers. My biggest excitement about the HK imports is that maybe it'll drive clone pricing down, to be honest.

Once you've danced the Form 1 dance, is the second dance any quicker or is it the same time? Assuming nothing changes but the type and serial number.

Also, I have a 16in AR15 from stag arms that I think needs a light to investigate strange noises in the dark now that we are living semi-rural.
The handguard on my AR has no holes or railing so I likely will buy a handguard to match the light and would prefer a light in the 700-1100 lumen range. Any recs for $100 to $150?

Building an NFA item and submitting a Form 2 to the govt telling them you built it w/o needing permission first is a glorious feeling.

quote:If you get a manufacturing FFL (07) and pay the $500/yr special occupational tax, you can create whatever NFA items you want without first getting BATFE permission. If you want to make 400 SBRs, 300 suppressors, and 2000 machine guns, you make them and then notify BATFE within 24 hours that they've been made. This is done on a Form 2. Form 2s like a Form 3 has no tax associated with it.quote:Please expound on this.quote:Get an FFL and an SOT

quote:I actually have an extra Magpul MOE handguard from when I thought about making it more flat dark earth colored. I found a decent deal on the TLR-1 HL long rifle kit. Just would like advice on which angle (6 o'clock, 3 o'clock, etc) to mount the light and should I put the control on the pistol grip or where?quote:

Sorry to break up my answers in two different posts, but roller lock questions always deserve their own response.
I can try to take pictures tomorrow if you'd like, but my preferred way to do this on the cheap is with a Magpul MOE handguard, attach a small rail section and then add a TLR-1 HL. That shouldn't run more than ~$150.
I prefer pistol lights because a)then I can also use them on my pistols and b) they're light and small.

No.
I am also considering a magwell block, but since I chose to use a San Tan lower, with a flared magwell, as my SBR lower, I'm not sure how it will fit.
Why? Do you have any experience with them?
