Magpul Slimline and other New Products.

I can't say I'm disappointed about the discontinuing of the colored PMAGS as all of mine are black, and nothing that a can of paint wouldn't fix if I wanted some variety. Any word on the weight of the new SL stock though? I think its safe to assume that it's lighter than the standard MOE?

I had the chance to check out the new stock at the NRA convention. It looks like a nice stock, but the cheek weld wasn't like I thought. I think I will be keeping my STR. I was also told the receiver plates should be out in a couple of weeks; which I am looking forward to.

I'm not doubting your wrench can't handle a standard modern AR-15 build.

My point was some people need a dedicated tool to get leverage on high dollar prebans and transferable machineguns to avoid damage. A set of professional armorer tools is not commercially available.

What about the Accuracy Speaks barrel wrench, it grips every tooth on the standard barrel nut.

Though it doesn't have a long handle and you would have to remove the FSB to use it.

Here's a link to an article that shows it. > https://gunsmagazine.com/barrel-upper-work/

Just scroll down to see it.


I have also been searching for years, years and more years for a good barrel wrench and am starting to get worried that I'm going to settle with a wrench that's not as good as it could be.

Well, in the prototyping stage, we did do a billet machined version in air-hardening steel that was a freaking masterpiece. It would cost about as much as one, also.

I was hoping for .308 pmags that I could use stripper clips with.

Little off topic but when are the 25rnd sr25 mags hitting the selfs?

Removing the FSB of a collectable Colt barrel is not an option. That should be obvious from my previous post.

Since it's so special you probably won't want to soil the barrel nut or gas tube roll pin, either.
