    Interest in Professional Armorers course?

    Not sure, but I can find out. No problem man. I get it. The best comparison that I can make is that it's the difference between learning the basics of assembly, versus becoming your own expert. For some folks, it's worth it and for some it just isn't. Nothing wrong with that.

    Interest in Professional Armorers course?

    Understood. And that's what you'd likely pay if the local range was going to put on a basic 4 hour, builders class. But you're not going to touch this level of training, much less a manufacturer certification for that price.

    Interest in Professional Armorers course?

    Hey guys, there's a good possibility that I'll be hosting (Not teaching) an AR15 Armorers Course later this year. The instructor is a highly qualified individual and the course would include a Certification from a Manufacturer. Course length will be 2 days, probably on a weekend. And cost would...

    Technically yes. But I think everyone had the same expectation based on last year. Without that expectation, the OP boils down to "hey look at me, I'm going to SHOT Show!" And yes, the NDA is both bizarre and lame.

    Ultimate suppressed upper?

    That's basically what the BRT inserts shown above accomplish.

    Really flared magwell.

    I don't know. As you could see in the video, he flubbed the reloads several times. It would basically condition you to two different reload techniques or manual of arms for strong and weak hand. And it could cause a problem when you switch back to a standard lower. I've always been trained to...

    Ultimate suppressed upper?

    I honestly would put Sionics right up there with BCM in terms of quality, especially the barrels, bolts, carriers, etc. I prefer the BCM upper receivers, as they are made in house by BCM. As far as Noveske goes, their stainless barrels are very good. But the N4 Barrels aren't really all that...

    Ultimate suppressed upper?

    I really don't ever notice the tube. And no AGB. I'm not a fan, just because I don't want any possible failure points associated with the gas system. And the point of this particular barrel is to avoid the need for one anyway.

    I think it's just a less expensive option for reloading. A buddy of mine uses them for 300blk reloads.

    That's surprising. Does any of the coating get vaporized? No deposits in the suppressor at all? Maybe the only advantage. But all my steel swings or is mounted with a good down angle. I blast it at 10 yds and haven't had any issues. Am I pushing my luck?

    I like to brush my teeth with it. But it seems to give me mint scented diarrhea.

    Considering that it will be more expensive to shoot than standard FMJ, barrel longevity is irrelevant.

    No idea. It's certainly not as strong as an aluminum rail and seems to be about the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.

    Apparently they were hanging a 40lb dumbbell off of one in their booth.

    Sounds like something from a Mad Max movie.
