Those 10's and 20's are easier to shoot prone with too :) A quick check at MidwayUSA shows a 3-pack of Magpul anti-tilt followers for $6.00, and Wolff 20- or 30-round magazine springs at $18 for a 3-pack.<br /><br />Just a thought.

I go to a lot of gun auctions in our area and lately brand new and near new AR's are going out the door for $400 or less, just like this DPMS a couple of weeks ago:<br />https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Military-Artifacts/Firearms/DPMS-MODEL-A-15-SEMI-AUTO-223-556CAL-RIFLE/lotInformation/45009426<br />I'd say the market has been saturated.Third Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164034977282528857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-59153760200561569202018-12-20T16:49:45.177-05:002018-12-20T16:49:45.177-05:00It's an interesting hypothesis, to wit: "...It's an interesting hypothesis, to wit: "...changing your AR can reduce its reliability." If I captured your hypothesis accurately I'm going to say "poppycock". It's a weak hypothesis; for no other reason than one could just as easily postulate, and prove, that modifying an AR can improve its reliability. If one takes the time to learn about how the weapon functions, learns about the components and their manufacture, and understands the specifications of the design, you can easily deviate your modifications towards either end of the performance and reliability spectrum.DaveShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688116113875695262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-44619515674441828812018-12-20T11:32:54.505-05:002018-12-20T11:32:54.505-05:00'Most' FTFs are caused by magazine issues....'Most' FTFs are caused by magazine issues... sigh...
