I think we Americans should be careful about looking down our noses at other western societies. We are headed down the same path, sociologically and economically.

We are leading the way Hmac, with a big shit eating grin our collective faces.

I was looking at brakes, and I think I'd like a Battlecomp to reduce muzzle rise, but I'm confused as to which one I want. 1.0? 1.5? 2.0? So confusing!

1.0 is the original, 1.5 is the same but with a extended flash hider to put the overall length of a 14.5" barrel to 16.1 when pinned, and the 2.0 has the same external dimensions as an A2 flash hider.

Basically you want the 2.0

I'd get a good safe. Welcome to the club.

+1, checkout www.johnsonsafe.com for a safe made to your order...

Thanks for all the replies.

Just added a CZ 75 Shadow Custom to the collection, too.

Hahaha. Yeah... I think the ATF might be a-knockin on your door soon.

Could happen! I'm not an American citizen (British permanent resident - married an American), and every time I buy a gun I expect the FBI to come out of the woodwork and arrest me. For what? Nothing! But still.... Seems crazy I can own all these firearms. Welcome to America, I guess!

Forgot to reply to this! Had the 2.0 put on the day after, and it's awesome! I can hold the SR15 out in front of me, one handed, like a pistol (!) and shoot with zero upward recoil. The range pros were like , lol!
