Function wise, they are probably going to be the same. The both have some different characteristics that would matter depending on what you’re trying to accomplish. I like the look of the PDW but it doesn’t allow for a folding stock. Which is what I wanted for this particular firearm. If I had a regular AR15 where the stock doesn’t fold then I would probably pick the PDW

@@combatreadychannel I appreciate the response. I’m looking at psa’s freedom week sells and they have a hbpdw lower for $299, but there’s also a sba5 lower for $229. For aesthetics and a shorter profile, I’d love the pdw. Though, I’m making a 7 inch ar9 build and someone informed that the hbpdw isn’t compatible with a hydraulic buffer. I guess I was mostly curious if the extra $70 was worth it beyond aesthetics.

Yeah, it’s sucks that it isn’t more popular.

The background full of hills and mountains?? We are also shooting farther than half a mile away. Closer to 3/4s of a mile.

Thank you

You’re welcome

A lot of ppl do that. It won’t work with anything that has magnification though. So you’re limited to red dots only. I don’t like having my optic that far forward but it’s just preference. I would not recommend a rail directly on the gas tube. The gas tube will get very hot and that heat will transfer into your optics and could cause problems. So if you go this route I’d say to get a handguard mount.

Awesome! Glade it helped!

It is but I’d goes out of stoke very quick. I was on a waiting list for the one I got and it was out of stock 15mins after I got a “back in stock” notification. Texas Weapons Systems has this style of dust cover.

If I remember correctly. It was around 1,500. The muzzle device has threading for the blast shield behind the keymo attachment point.

@combatreadychannel oh ok, so you do need an adapter. I wonder why no company has made a direct attach blast shield to keymo muzzle devices, just like Surefire has with their Warden blast shield that directly attaches to their Surefire muzzle devices. It just sucks because I have to pay double since I would need to buy 2 pieces, the adapter and the blast shield for my KeyMo muzzles

@@znismo1hmmm 🤔yeah, you’d think it would have been done by now. It wouldn’t be that hard to do.

Sadly, this version with the hub threads is no longer rated for barrels under 10.5". They have another version that is rated for something like an M92, but without the hub threads.

Glad it was helpful!

Sweet and spicy!!

🤣yes

Stop crying 😂

How do you know that I didn’t already ask what it identifies as?

Super cool 😎

You peaked my interest

Uhh ? No it’s not

Does that mean that my rifle will shoot backwards too 😬 Seriously though. This mount doesn’t have any type of minute of angle so it can go one way or the other.

“Can” and “should” are two very different concepts…

@shoota314 so why should it be mounted the other way?

Because the design intent is to allow for the scope to be mounted farther forward then a standard rings would allow on the shorter AR15 receiver. That being said if you can get the proper eye relief without having the mount extend past the end of the receiver do you…

So nice

There is a 99% chance that I am more qualified to own a firearm then you.

Yes and no 🤷, some of the best rifles do not have a dust cover. The M4 platform is one of the few really. The scar, cz Bren 2, Tavor, ak47/74, G36, vz58 and many more military issue rifles do not have a bolt dust covers. So I’m not really sure if the dust cover offers that much more benefit. If it did, you’d think more modern rifles would implement it but it seems like more of the newer designs are getting rid of it.

No problem, good luck with your build!

Glad it helped! Let me know if you have any questions.

You won’t be disappointed if you do

It really is

I haven’t seen any FDE but it is normal for them to produce it in that color. It seems like they are having a hard time getting it in black.

I’ve been thinking about it. So could be a possibility in the near future.

It really is

Thanks! 👍

One your just wrong 5.7 isn’t even that expensive anymore, and two no one here said that 5.7 was better then 9mm!

I was thing of .50bmg actually 🤔

@@combatreadychannel nah, dust cloud no bueno 🤣

I’ll make another video explaining it in more detail.

Because of your comment? I agree that it’s a lousy comment but it’s a little extreme to take down the entire internet because of it.

At the end you can see it flashing when the target is hit. The target is very far away so it is hard to see in the video.

It indeed indicated that he hit the target. So something did happen.

So it is a little hard to see but at the end you can see a small light flashing. That is the flash band indicating a hit on the steel target. It’s just hard to see I. The video because it’s so far away.

So it was a pretty quick answer then……

I need one too!

They work very well

You can do it!

It’s very inefficient. I didn’t buy this to make a .50 Beowulf, it was just a fun experiment to see if it could work with .50 Beowulf.

Thank you

Truer words have never been said

Pretty much
