    How did I do with this purchase?

    Can someone just take a look at this latest purchase and tell me what you think of the specs as I don't know everything on these specs, I bought this basically like for a road trip gun/truck gun as I can cross state lines with it and not have issues versus a rifle or my Sbr.

    Thanks for your review.

    - Replace the extractor spring with a Colt or Sprinco M4 extractor spring
    - Replace the carbine buffer with an H2
    - Install a Split Fix on the SBA3
    - Replace the A2 birdcage with a BRT Convert Comp
    - Add a sling, light & RDS
    - Buy ammo
    - Buy magazines
    - Shoot it until your sneakers are covered in empty brass

    What is a split fix? What about the barrel out of curiosity, is it a decent one?

    The Split Fix is a replacement for the arm strap that stiffens and supports the rubber "wings" without changing the design or intent. The Split Fix significantly improves function and protects the SBA3.

    The only way to determine is the barrel is good is to shoot the AR.

    They seem to be tightening up their ports in the past year or two. I’ve not checked a 10.5” yet.

    Op, when you pull that A2 flash suppressor, let us know about the thread shoulder.
