Meh just pointing out how great Texas is. Not so much this is how CA does it. Lol.
It feels like I’ve been released from prison or some shit. Guns that I own here would have caught me a felony in CA. Makes me feel giggly like a giant man baby.
CA gun control BS chased me out of that state twice (maybe I'm a slow learner).
The great thing about AR's is that there are so many parts out there that modifying one yourself can be like no other very easily.Almost done with my diamondback.
I was going to go ahead and buy a piston gun but I did the math and for the same price of a good piston gun I could convert my diamondback to a piston gun with a Franklin armory binary trigger for less money (that’s ALL IN, not conversion cost)
With all the mods (holosun sight, MFT grip, MFT minimalist stock, MFT muzzle brake, magpul vfg, bfsIII, and the superlative arms lo pro piston kit) I’ll be in the piston game at an less than $1300. About the cost of a low to mid range piston gun and I’ll have the EXACT gun I want.
My DB15 is going to likely get a suppressor and an SBR treatment in the future too which is why I’m going with the superlative arms piston kit. It has bleed off and closed system functionalities.
A lot of people keep asking my why convert, and honestly, it’s because I like modifying and tinkering. I know I can get a spectacular gun for just a little more money but I like guns that are unique. And this one is just that.
I have already run about 2k rounds through it. Only malfunctions I had were with one magazine, so that’s not a gun issue.
Can’t wait to get the bfsIII and piston kit. It’s going to be doing full mag dumps with my c-mag lol.
The MFT minimalist stock and muzzle brake are on their way from optics planet. I was able to get both for about $60 total shipped. I also have an absolute cowitness height mount for the holosun on the way. No real point to have the lower 3rd mount with flip up sights.
This gun really heats up with the DI system. Most of my ar’s in the past have had heavy barrels and mid length or rifle length gas tubes so I didn’t notice the heat as much as I do with this carbine length. It really heats up when running and gunning/running drills but the larue tactical rail clips really work to protect my hands.
