I’ll make it as difficult as I can by attempting to stay legal.

$954.95 vs $1300 In your opinion is the cost difference substantiated?
The prices I am looking at are $900-925 for the Bushmaster and RRA, and $700 for the DS, so the the price difference is about $200. I think RRA uses Continental receivers while BM & DS use LAR. The "advantages" for the more expensive rifles are chrome lined barrels (DS has unlined moly) and the RRA has a 2-stage trigger (BM & DS have single). The BM and RRA also come with hard cases and carry handles. I've got cases and don't plan to use the handle. Beyond that, it's really boils down to the quality of the three since I'm not sure the lined barrel or 2-stage trigger are necessities to me. The quality of BM and RRA are fairly well defined, but I'm not sure about DS.

For precision shooting, these days I almost need a 2-stage trigger. It is so nice to be able to adjust the creep on the second stage.

Turbopilot has it right in post 55. If you have an AR type rifle and you have a fore end grip attached to it, you are perfectly legal. This remains true if you have an AR type handgun sitting in the safe right next to the rifle, because the fore end grip is attached to the rifle and it is legal for it to be there. If the grip is loose, and the AR pistol can accept it, you are in constructive possession of the parts to assemble an Any Other Weapon, which must be legal in your state and registered (and taxed) by the Treasury Department.
The same is true of the combination of the AR pistol upper with the AR rifle lower. If you have both of them apart, you are in constructive possession of a short barreled rifle, even though you had no intention to illegally assemble one. So clean them at different times, or leave the forward pin in place so the receivers stay together.
Far fetched? I was the E.M.T. at a fire standby years ago. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the firefighters sent in a team to break down the area and make sure the fire was out. They found a quarter pound of pot. The homeowners were arrested and charged with intent to distribute.
Stranger things have happened. A friend was on a fire standby when they found a very active World War II trophy in the homeowner’s attic. It was either an MP-40 or the aforementioned StG-44. I never found out which one. Fortunately, the guy was old enough, and tired enough, that the cops just took it and declined to prosecute. Unfortunately, the cops just took it and since it was in New Jersey, I'm sure the thing was destroyed.

Not meaning to step on your post, but here is a friend of mine latest project. This pic was posted on Calguns, so I beleive its ok to post. Your gas piston is pretty slick though.

Sweet - nice project. I do think I the gas piston looks cleaner as a pistol tho’. The tube sticking out the back of the gas impingement design just cries out for a stock.

Here is my militia rifle. It didn't start out as a black rifle, but when I saw it listed BY NAME on HB-1022 (latest house attempt to ban guns), I figured if it scared the commie mommies that much, even with it's nice wood stock, I'd turn in into an EBR.
It is a Remington 7400 in .30-06 and a real nice shooter.
To: Niteranger68
I built up a flattop M4gery J&T kit (same company as Doublestar) on a DPMS lower. There was one part missing from the kit, the company apologized and replaced the part with no hassle at all.
Three years and at least a couple thousand rounds and so far no problems. Good company to deal with. If you call them, there’s a good chance you’ll get the owner on the phone.
I have a Doublestar lower. Color match and finish quality seem as good as the DPMS and a Rock River. Still need to decide what it should look like when it grows up :)

How about a pic of a hot chick with an assault rifle? You get two extra points if you can identify the sling on the chen cuties M16A1. Those who were in Vietnam or the first Iraqi desert war would likely know.

Gunowners have a culture of their own To a sociologist, technically it'd be a subculture. But I personally prefer to reserve that term for those whose interest is in submarines.
