Thanks for the feedback…like you I’m fairly certain they are untreated as well. I have some Tung oil left over from a Garand rifle stock project, so I’ll give them a couple coats of that to help seal them up.

Just picked up an SA-35 this past weekend. Lucked into one at a shop I don’t stop by too often. Having made the mistake of passing up on one a few weeks after they were released I decided to snag it. Anyway, looking over the factory grips it looks like the wood may be untreated, but before I...

I wet tumble in a Frankfort Arsenal tumbler. Hot water and a healthy splash of Meguiar’s Wash and Wax car wash that I picked up on sale at Costco a little while back. It was $10 for a gallon, so it will last me a bit. Gets the cases new looking after a couple hours in the tumbler. Just dump...

PSA will have primers available at some point via the AAC brand.

That’s kinda what SA did…each XD variant offered an increase in mag capacity over the previous, at the expense of mag compatibility. Mag compatibility is the single biggest thing Glock got right from the beginning. The exception to this in the XD lineup is the .45 chambered guns. That is the...

Nice to see companies embracing turret protection. What magnifier is that?

Shooting suppressed means cleaning your mags after every range trip. Metal or polymer, both get gummed up quickly with a can. This is also why I prefer to keep a handful of dedicated range mags. Keeps wear and tear isolated to a few mags.

MSRP is a couple hundred higher than I had hoped, but not horrible. Assuming demand dies down its not hard to imagine these will carry a street price of around $1700...of course if they end up not selling well they could get cheaper.

Nah, more Croatian goodness in the form of the VHS-K3.

Photos of the actual product have leaked, including the name. Have to say that this is on my short list of things to buy, and also my first non-AR pattern semi-auto rifle. Don't want to rock the boat too much around here so I'll refrain from posting or linking to them.

Nothing fancy, just a Mil-Spec with some Magpul grips that I painted

In terms of frame, no nothing has changed. Most beaver tail safeties require reprofiling the frame horns near the grip safety as you know. IMO the drop in versions tend to a look a little 'off.

Concealed means concealed....that said I wouldn't worry about. The vast majority of the public is too concerned about themselves and likely would hardly notice if your piece showed a bit due to a shirt riding up or something.

Based on the video Gun Jesus did on the previous variant it looks like the magwells are interchangeable, allowing STANAG (AR type) or G36 mags (which is what the original VHS used), the French trials version of the VHS had a magwell compatible with FAMAS mags too.

XD9 mags have been dirt cheap for the past year, anywhere from $9.99 to $14.99. XD45 mags on the other hand tend to be $20 each, or more as Joe Bob's has them listed at $29 currently. I'd buy a dozen XD45 mags if they were under $15.
