AR builder Gurus... I need your opinion/assistance
As you might know, Sprog #4 and I are building her her own custom AR-15, using a GWACS Armory Cav-15 lower.
I am also building myself a new upper.
Her upper will have a 16" 1:7 twist .750 M-4 Profile barrel with a carbine gas tube.
My Upper will have an 18" Fluted Stainless Steel barrel with 1:8 twist and a .223 Wylde Chamber and take a mid-length gas tube.
I've been looking for free float forends that I can afford. As such, I've been hitting E-bay, CTD, amazon, PSA, and others.
I'm thinking to get her a 7" forend and myself a 10" forend.
The inexpensive e-bay forends I've been looking at off of E-bay match the same ones that CTD has listed for $7 to $15 less.
What is your opinions on the following forends?
7" Free Float
10" Free Float
I'd like to get these built up before Christmas so Sprog #4 and I can take them to the range and start getting them dialed in.
These match the XTS forends listed on CTD's site but cost considerably less, plus I won't have to pay sales tax and shipping on them like I would if I ordered them from CTD.

Buffalo's Outdoors - Maverick 88 - Bang For Your Buck
I have a Maverick 88. Mine is a 5+1 for 6 round capacity and came with a 28" barrel with a Modified choke. I have installed an ATI Folding Pistol Gripped buttstock and I used to have an 18.25" cylinder bore barrel with a standard brass bead. It now has a vent ribbed 20" barrel with a Carlson's screw in rifled choke and Williams vent rib rifle sights. I have it set up specifically for shooting slugs, I haven't had the opportunity to see how the rifled choke affects the patterning of buckshot.
If anyone would be willing to send me a variety of shotshells, I'd be glad to set aside the time for it. However right now, 00 buck and #4 buck is running over $1.20 a shell here locally. I can't fit that in to my monthly budget.

Sootch00 - Why buy a 9mm Conversion barrel for a Glock 40 Pistol?
I have a Gen 2 Glock 23 and I bought it specifically because I saw Sootch's video on the Wheaton Arms 9mm Conversion barrel for the Glock 23. My intention was to have the capability being able to use both .40 S&W and 9mm. Up until that point I had no intention of owning any .40 S&W firearms. I didn't feel the need to add yet ANOTHER caliber I would need to purchase and stock up on.
However after I purchased my Glock 23 I found that Wheaton Arms was out of stock on the extended and threaded 9mm conversion barrels. I was a little crushed by that, so i looked around and found that Lone Wolf Distributors had the barrel I wanted in stock and on sale. So I ordered one of them plus some other replacement parts to improve the trigger and functionality of my my Glock.
Robbie at Wheaton Arms has sent me an e-mail telling me that in December, they plan on doing a run of the extended and threaded 9mm Conversion barrels. If I can fit one into the budget, I will order one and compare the Lone Wolf and the Wheaton Arms barrels.
