What lower for scorpion mags?

Shopping around moderate priced PCC's and that MAT-9 looked interesting to me, leaning towards the 8".

It looks like people used to use the "new frontier s9" lower for this, but they are no longer made.

  1. Is there a good lower known to be highly compatible w/ the mat-9?
  2. Do I just need a stripped lower or other parts? (new to guns)

Also any ideas on where to source anything Matador right now could be useful since no one seems to have anything in stock.

Local communities? (DC/NoVA area?)

Are there any regular in-person meetups for this community or others in the DC area? I'm closer the chubbyfire type numbers, but getting older (40s) and want to try to be more productive over the next 5-10 years so I still have some time left to compound.

Would love to meet others particularly if you're making money in tech, real estate, or other SMB type industries.

I'm in tech now with a regular W2 but the pay is really mediocre compared to big tech/tier 1 companies.

Anyone heading to a range today from Arlington/DC area?

Don't have a car, but would love to check out any range (xcal, sharpshooters, etc) to try out a few guns before the ban.

Mostly interested in trying out an mp5 clone or other 9mm pcc (sig mpx or apc9) and maybe an AR

Anyone compared Frec with IB for direct indexing and margin loans?

Looking to move some cash into a platform that offers:

  1. Direct indexing, probably just S&P500, but also maybe a tech one like XLK
  2. Margin loans at SOFR+1% or better
  3. Ideally a transfer-in bonus would be great

Has anyone done a comparison of all the fees between Frec.com and IB?

I like Frec but it's newer so I worry about risk of it shutting down and then having to deal with transferring a direct index somewhere.

Best sources (local or online) for used?

To be clear, this is not a buy/sell thread, I just want to be pointed to the right place.

Since I may have to leave Virginia in the near future, I'm debating buying used instead of new in order to minimize any losses I might take selling later.

Looking for an mp5 clone (century/mke) and AR15 rifle (daniels defense).

  1. Do you find that local shops used pricing is so high that I might as well just buy online instead? (i.e. local shop wanted $1600 for a new ap5 but I could get it new for like $1200)
  2. For these models do you think good discounts are even possible or not a very good used market?

I'm searching around now but haven't seen great pricing or inventory on a few sites. Want to make sure I'm not missing anything. To be worth it I'd want a used AP5 clone for like $800 or something.

[WTB] DCF 1p tent (plex solo, x-mid 1p)

Looking for dcf tent in very good condition.

If x-mid 1 pro prefer 2024+ for new geometry.

Can do paypal, local pickup in DC area, or offer a trade if you might want a brand new gossamer gear the one or x-mid 1p v2

Might be open to similar options such as hexamid tarp or others I might not be aware of sub 17oz or so.
