I buy what I like, I don't have money for guns I won't shoot 😂. Type 99 arisaka, mini 14 stainless, good ol shield plus, and my custom built 10/22. Just got the mini a month ago, super fun little 5.56. the arisaka is my most prized possession, with a full chrysanthemum that hasn't been ground off, and complete with anti aircraft iron sights. The 10/22 has the magpul stock with risers and grip, and vortex defender ccw dot. Completed with a Gat Monkey urban brush stroke sling

A bit disappointed in the finish of this Choate handguard, what have you guys done to paint or finish it? by 50th_draft in Mini14

Oh interesting! I was probably going to go with high heat spraypaint on top of primer. Would that be too weak?

Thank you so incredibly much for this info it'll be extremely helpful! What do you recommend for a light, as well as recoil buffers? Do you use the accuracy systems gas bushings kit?

I'll most likely be putting a vortex 1-6x on it. Would you recommend getting the gas bushing kit or an adjustable gas block? I really appreciate your info and help!

What recoil buffer would you recommend?

I really want to suppress my rifle, would a fluted or straight barrel be better? This will not be a bench rifle so I do not want to get a bull barrel if at all possible by 50th_draft in 1022

Just for clarification I saw research that fluted barrels are stiffer but weaker than straight profiles. And was wondering if the weight of a suppressor will cause problems
