AR-15 Brands Ranked

Yes I did misconstrue your comment Seadog, I'm sorry.

As for Titanium as a carrier material, I think you are thinking of a different material Cseverns. Titanium is very light and it weights just a touch more than an aluminum carrier. No top tier manufacturer would use one unless it was an all out competition firearm. The problem with Titanium as a carrier material is they tend to flame cut at the back of the bolt and wear where the bolt tail goes through the back of the carrier. Suddenly your rifle will stop functioning usually around 1500-2500 rounds. Titanium is NOT a good carrier material.

We are good. Lots of things get lost in posts all the time. Same thing with phone texts. Makes one scratch their head

A gun rag has to write for a person to read and to stay afloat and make money. Good to see Larue as a sleeper.

Off topic but some Gun Mag writers are saying the FORTY (.40) is dead and 9MM is better?

So you gotta put $500 worth of ammunition through it to make sure it works.

Sounds a lot like breaking in a 1911 with a thousand rounds before it runs right.

Only 350 or so rounds to break in my Kimber ultra Carry II.

No! To make sure it is a steadily accurate weapon. Cut the money amount of ammo in half or less. Left over when I used to reload.

Nickel Lantac Enhanced BCG that I bought for a PDW before realizing my PDW stock had to use the proprietary BCG (Troy PDW). Nether made it on my build and are hanging out in my house so I have no first hand knowledge about wear and tear on it. I will slide it into something eventually or sell it.

That Lantac carrier is made out of 8620 which is steel, not titanium and should wear just like a good quality steel carrier. Looks pretty!

Old news , 9 isn't better it's more popular and available.
