Have a nice dayIllustrating my point exactly! A sling isn't required by most and as such isn't a concern

Its on correctly. The other side has Vs cut out going down it. I guess the holes are to let air through. The slings i have on other rifles are also butler creak but not this kind. They have some kind of gel bumps on the shoulder pad but the thing is still always slipping.I'd probably hate that sling myself, but to each his own.
Is it backwards ?
:hmm:
With the exception of wear, which I doubt you'd really notice unless you're intent on firing thousands or rounds quickly and possibly a bit more effort in cleaning, none..So anybody have a reason why I wouldn't want a stainless steel barrel for my next AR build? And by next I mean the Spikes zombie lower I painted about a year ago and haven't done anything with since then. Would love to find a fluted stainless barrel that wasn't outrageously expensive but I've resigned myself to a regular one if need be. In any case is there anything inherently bad about the stainless barrels?
The CZ model is obviously not working out for you, I would try for something else.well, FFL says the supplier wants the gun back and I can exchange for something else if I want. I don't know what to do. Do I try for a 3rd CZ or get something else?

I don't think MongGrel meant for the sling to be a carry strap. Like he said, if you were a Marine (or had attended an Appleseed shoot) you'd know what it is for. It is a great tool, for all but bench rest shooters. Is that all you do?Illustrating my point exactly! A sling isn't required by most and as such isn't a concern
Would this better? http://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-DBK-04-BDC-Diamondback-Riflescope/dp/B001EC7KMY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3AIDJ968O3UB6Great deal on a nice AR optic, 1-4, first focal plane, illuminated, and about $120 cheaper than amazon -

They fulfill different needs. Both the Bushnell and the Vortex are low end scopes. They'll work fine for the average range user, but don't expect the best durability or repeatability of adjustment from them.
Any plans to SBR it? I don't recall how much velocity is lost for supersonic rounds in 300BLK, but it seemed to me it'd still be effective for hunting with a ~9" barrel.Crappy picture of my completed 300 blackout rifle that I will probably use for mule deer this year -

The lower is a spikes lower, with a PSA lower build kit. The upper is a CMMG that I got complete and brand new. Suppressor is a YHM Phantom LTA, and the scope is a Vortex Viper PST 1-4. Looking forward to getting it dialed in.
I already have a form 1 submitted for the lower, but I am going to keep that upper a 16", for hunting mule deer in the fall. I am going to hunt with subsonic, but I will get a separate SBR upper for it once the stamp is back. Weight wise it really is not that bad at all as it is now.Any plans to SBR it?

I'm waiting on a stamp to buy parts and build an upper for mine.
Dang, that is a sweet deal on the MRO. I'm going to have to get busy ordering some parts and building, because I just got some stamps in the mailI already have a form 1 submitted for the lower, but I am going to keep that upper a 16", for hunting mule deer in the fall.

I already have an optic on order for the eventual SBR setup, a trijicon MRO I snagged the other day for $368 on a reddit r/gundeals sale.
That is a pretty sweet looking rifle, I must say.Crappy picture of my completed 300 blackout rifle that I will probably use for mule deer this year -
