The Bushy is the same as the Ares Defense. The Adams is a far better built kit from what I've read/seen, but you'll pay for it as well ($499, not installed).

I went with the PWS kit which runs $399 installed and looks to be equal to the Adams kit in terms of quality and materials. The Ares/Bushy kits just don't look very hearty to me and I'm not a fan of the spring being part of the kit. Seems like it would be a lot more likely to fail than the PWS.

PWS had the lowest # of moving parts and lacked any really, really small fragile looking parts.

Do a search on carrier tilt (on ar15.com) and you'll also see that the PWS design minimizes the likelihood of it occurring because of its design. Is carrier tilt a major issue? Only time will tell. I'm not terribly worried about it with new lowers only running $110 or less, but if they become hard to get, or if I owned a registered M16 lower, I'd become very concerned with it.

40 xtreme.

Not very many people have.

Custom barrel, dies and brass. It is basically a necked down 50ae round. It uses 40 caliber bullets. I am in the process of having some 300 grain bullets made for sub sonic rounds. Just have to find a suppressor that will handle it.

Here she is...finally. Not bad for a $700 rifle...

Thanks to Scott_In_OKC for the lower and recommending M1S. Very happy with their product. Who knew assembling an AR-15 lower was so easy?
