I still use the Mesa Tactical back pin as the larger fasteners it uses are superior to the Brownell’s back pin. General welding and fit and finish etc. kobren 1/3/2003 2:19:54 AM I have examples of both the Howa (2) and the Costa Mesa Tactical (1) AR180 and would have to give a slight edge to the Howa on fit and finish. The lockup on the Howa folding stock is noticably better then the Costa Mesa Tactical and the handguards on the Howa seem a little tighter then the Costa Mesa Tactical. Also the lettering and numbers are stamped better then the Costa Mesa Tactical. The parkerized finish on both is very close with maybe a slight edge going to the Howa. Another item is the white lines on the rear sight. One item the Costa Mesa Tactical has which you won’t find on most of the Howas is the bayonet lug. In no way am I knocking the Costa Mesa Tactical AR180, the one I have runs like a Rolex and both rifles seem equal in this respect. Very well could be. But with that thread, it seems that quite a few people got one from “a bad batch” also. As for the screw softness info, before my father told me about it, I wouldn’t have even known! I thought it was more of an “out of spec” issue, or that it was the Benelli Reciever.

Not good for Close Quarter Combat Excellent! I
Not good for Close Quarter Combat Excellent! I have been saying all this stuff for years and years. Despite all this, we still can enjoy our M14 Scope Mountss and M14 Scope Mounts-EBRs because we are range ninja’s. No need to make stuff up about how awesome the platform is like some people do here [...]

The M4 EBR stock is based on the Navy SEAL EBR stock.

I’m saying that is the way it is done in the military.
Match and specialized sniper/long range ammunition is far from underloaded.
There are specialized gas plug screws made fro the M14 Scope Mounts type rifle that allow a wide variety of ammunition to be utilized so there is no drawback to choosing one over an AR10 type platform for civilian use and again, a properly manufactured and heat treated modern M14 Scope Mounts type receiver is no less reliable than a modern manufactured AR10 two piece receiver system.

I got my new OBR in with lots of goodies, but no dillo dust or dillo. That’s OK though, LT did send me more than I expected (as always)…great people at LT! I have 1 dillo, so I’m good for now. EDIT: But I do want more dillos. I have 2 open orders with Larue Tactical right now, so we’ll see what swag is sent with it.
