I don't like any of the trimmers that trim the mouth relative to the shoulder. You're stacking tolerances.

True and I wouldn't use it for cheaper stuff (I would buy the cheaper stuff on the used market) but it was an extra $200 in my pocket at the time I bought a scope for my .308 and if you're looking at their Razor line it can be pretty significant. Me, I'm always looking to shave bucks off everything ...

When looking for an optic, your job may qualify you for the Vortex Military/LEO/First Responder discount program which would give you a _HEFTY_ discount on their MSRP for any of their scopes or red dots. Look into it. Only downside is that you have to order from them and it could take up to a couple...

He grabbed a ball peen hammer, proceeded to put a dent in every panel, then told his gaggle of kids that it was r...

This is general advice for 16" carbine gas barrels and I'd still give it. Anytime I see someone say that about a shorter barrel I usually will dispute it.

My 9" runs well with a 0.100" port, commercial BCG, and H2 buffer. Here's a nice link with info you may like:

Why do you have your scope mounted so far back? Most people install that scope/mount combo with the mount in the other direction and the eyepiece about flush with the back of the charging handle.
