Thanks for the advice. I haven't looked at it too hard yet, I may try to make a different system for the magazine well. When I get it all figured out I'll post it here.
My daughter lived in the Tampa area for the last five years and just moved back to Minnesota with her family, I finally got to meet her two youngest kids.
I've built several AR 15s and the best trigger I've come up with for reliability and overall feel (I have a 24" barreled AR target rifle) was an Anderson Stainless set that I cleaned up and polished with a set of JP Enterprises enhanced reliability springs. Great trigger at consistent 4 lb pull...
Stumble across this forum while I was looking for some info on the Patriot. I also have an old Coast to Coast Master Mag that I've had for years which is just a 500 12 gauge. I enjoy shooting but some disabilities keep me from hunting anymore so I just shoot targets now.
I like long walks on...
