It is always nice hearing your comments about items when listeners write in. I appreciated your answers to my rather long email from the suppressor show. Great advise. Two quick items - the accuwedge - this may be the best thing I've never heard of. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-amp-action-parts/receiver-hardware/accu-wedges/ar-15-m16-accu-wedge-prod27507.aspx I was running my 300 Blackout upper on my lower, and noticed it wasn't as tight as I would like. Quick web search, and order and this arrived. What looks like a great and inexpensive accessory to any AR. Also - a question to J.R. - SBR's they will soon be legal in my home State, Washington. I'm assuming that if I have an SBR - I can have multiple uppers with short barrels, and one registered lower receiver - a 5.56 upper with a 10 inch barrel, and a 7 inch ACC barrel in 300 blackout for example, but only one lower registered SBR? - Yes, I realize this is not legal advise, but what is your opinion and experience. Thanks, Jim G: Reed and JW, I discovered the AR-15 Podcast several months ago. I have found your show content very informative. I learn something new on every show. Like this week, I learned more about bolt carriers. I had seen advertisements and videos about the difference between AR-15 and M-16 bolt carriers, and how to identify them. I never understood why the AR-15 bolt carriers had less material in them until your explanation that the government forced the manufacturers to make them that way to help keep people from converting the guns to full auto. Thank you for the explanation. It is that kind of content that keeps the shows interesting for me. JW, I am from Pittsburgh, and think it is great that someone from my area is helping out with the show. I want to take some training, and would like a recommendation from you as to a good place in the Pittsburgh area to go. I want someplace with quality instructors and a range of classes in pistol and rifle. I bought my first AR in the fall and think training is important to the safe use of the gun.
