TK11069 from United States, TX Public Profile

My MK25 came with a threaded barrel and I wanted the option to configure it with a standard barrel while keeping the corrosion resistant finish required by the Navy. This is the barrel for that even though it will never be near salt water.

I've been using this for years to deal with rabbits around my house. It's quite enough on its own that it won't draw attention but with a suppressor it's James Bond quiet. You need to be close to the target and it will not cycle semi-auto which is fine for my uses (one shot one kill).

I ordered this for my older (2022) Pelican 1700 case (fixed side handle, wheels toward center, no handle between wheels) which contains a 16" AR-15. The foam fit fine but the grid is cut for the newer version with the wheel arches further out. I just had to dremel out the two indentations about 1.25" further inward to fit over my wheel arches. The grid fits snugly. At first it seems barely too long but it will squeeze in. BTW, the dimensions on the Magpul site are wrong by a lot. It will fit old and new 1700s.

I also ordered a couple expansion kits just in case plus I have a 1720 case to organize. When configured, everything fit sung and secure but I had to make some modifications for the charging handle, scope, and tripod. These 3 components dug into the grid and I didn't like putting that much pressure on them. The foam is closed cell but it's still easily damaged with pressure points. So I had to cut out the grid under them.

I have a very slender Troy rail. So I was very surprised that it would not fit sung between two blocks they way it's shown in product photos. I ended up with a huge gap. You would think this would be a basic need. I wish the distances were more granular and/or it fit the most basic and standard of AR dimensions like magazines.

My first Daniel Defense experience was installing the DD MFR AR-15 M-Lok 15" Handguard on my 18" AR. I liked it so much that I bought the DD RIS II for my 11.5" SBR. The barrel nut and bolt-up plates are the same. There are slight differences from there as the RIS is a two piece. What I did not like is that the RIS is packaged fully assembled and you have to take it apart first. DO NOT try to remove the bolts before separating the two halves held by screws!

A lot of rails are thinner and streamlined whereas this rail is both turn of the century retro and perfect for MK18 II builds.

I only buy Geissele triggers for all my AR builds. I have the 2-stage SSA on two rifles but got this single-stage for a pistol. It has a nice break like snapping a candy cane and better pull force over stock.

I have WC grips on two of my P320s and turned to them for my P365. I built a P365 using the Sig FCU, SPECTRE XL slide and this WC grip. The Sig 10 and 15 rd magazines fit perfectly. The grip is slightly fatter than stock but still very slim and the texture is aggressive and extends up to the top unlike the stock grip.

I bought the 12.5" to replace my Troy Alpha rail so I could get M-Lok compatibility. I prefer the mid-size rail on 16" barrels. As long as you have a mil-spec barrel nut (not included), this just slides on and then tighten down. I absolulty love the look and the slim profile.

This is the best option to replace an A2 front site/gas block that was installed on the bare barrel before coating it. This will cover the bare metal left after removing the A2 sight. It also installs easily, stays in place, and works flawlessly.

I now have two of these for each rifle - one black and one tan. I like the clean lines and M-lock compatibility. As will all Magpul M-lock attachments, the tread lock on the screws makes if very stiff. I like to place in a vise and thread the bolts on an off a few times until I can tighten by holding the nut with my finger.

Let's face it, polymer guns look cheap and ordinary. The AGX gip makes an ordinary P320 look more sophisitcated and expensive. I wish they sold a version that came with the wood grips (which I also bought). The grip is very comfortable and fit is even better than the polymer grip. The FCU is easier to insert too. I also added the stainless slide with gold barrel to complete the high-end, classic look.
