Why would you do that? Don't you have an adjustable gas block? That supersedes gas port, spring, buffer weight, WAR upper, everything else.

>>34822895
>drilled out you gucci upper
Ahaha what a retard. Why would you ever do such a thing?

Why do you even want the XP spring if your rifle was properly gassed to begin with? this is what you get for not going with the vltor a5 system. so much better.

I turned my gas block down until it locked back a bolt with Wolf Gold and no suppressor then gave it another 1/4 turn open. At that one setting it works swell from unsuppressed Wolf Gold to suppressed Mk262. I haven't touched it since. H1 buffer and standard spring.

>>34823212
>more complicated than it had to be.
yes, this 100%

in the factory form, the war upper worked fine if not a tiny bit under gassed with the surefire can.

what i wanted was to use an h3 and xp spring because i wanted to build the ultimate reliable rifle and that buffer combo would make it very hard to stop.

so what i needed to do first was drill out the gas port to get enough gas to use the h3/xp, and since the WAR bleeds gas, i had to open it up to around .1"
once i did that, the uuper would cycle and i could even overgas it with the h3/xp without a can, however, once i put the can on, it was undergassed and wouldn't lock back.

this now meant that i had to drill out the port in the upper(pic), this was easy enough to do and once opened, my ejection pattern was the same with and without the can.

now that i'm trying to go back to the standard spring, to have both lowers be exactly the same, i'm running into a problem with the WAR.
because the gasport is so open on the barrel, each click on the gas block feeds a lot more gas, and because the port on the WAR is so open, it feeds too much gas to the bcg.
the spring is so light that changes in gas volume affect it quite a bit.

so now i either need a new valve for the upper, or just stick with what works.
i could send both uppers to Inn. Arms and they replace the valve with a stock one but i would prefer it if they would just sell me a few.

>>34823101

So I'm trying to decide between a panther claw or a reaction rod. I also "need" a delta ring tool

now, you are probably wondering, "if the sbr works great with the h3/xp, what's the issue?"

well, i want both lowers to be identical, that way if i ever need to put the 14.5 on the sbr lower it'll work exactly the same.

>why doesn't your 14.5 work with the sbr lower with the h3/xp
well, it's because i'm using a 14.5" mid gas barrel and although the port is already at .100", it doesn't have enough pressure to cycle the h3/xp.

so i can either drill out my port even more or get a carbine barrel.

>drill the port
i would have to drill it to .125" and that's just a bit too much and could potential cause issues.
i did that to a BA barrel and it stripped too much copper from the bullets and would send it to the bcg which would seize up once it cooled.

>carbine gas barrel
this is the best option, i get the spring/buffer i want and the gas port won't have to be drilled out much.
i could either get a 14.5 socom barrel or a 14" carbine hanson barrel, both are fine options.

>what will you do
i've put the h3/xp back in the sbr and will leave it as is for now.
we'll see what happens in the future.

Are you me? I'm trying to decide right now what to get for doing work on uppers. I have one of those cheap Amazon special clamshells and it's pretty shitty, especially if you really need to torque down on something hard.

The Geissele rod seems like it's probably the best, but $99 for what it is kinda gripes my ass a little.

what the fuck is this shit

Anyone want to talk barrels with me?

I'm trying to build a balanced rifle that isn't so front heavy. Atm I have a carbine m4 profile and midlength socom/govt profile.

I am thinking of something with a continuous or tapered profile, still debating whether I sbr.

Right now I am between a BA Hanson profile barrel, Larue predator, and ARP barrel. Maybe a columbia river arms.

They all have barrel profiles where the weight is more toward the rear and is either continuous or tapers. The Larue, ARP, and CRA are all supposed to be better quality and have better accuracy than the BA but the BA is lighter overall and they have a 0.625 GB diameter barrel that is even lighter still.

The Larue, ARP, and CRA barrels are all like 1.75 - 2lbs whereas the BA is 1.375 lbs (0.625) to 1.65 lbs (0.750).

However I am a little concerned about having a barrel that is too thin. The goal is balance not super light weight.

Biggest question on my mind is whether the change is weight distribution will be enough to balance things out even with a 2lb barrel or should I just go with the lightest option of the bunch?

Thoughts anyone?

I too enjoy a nice front sight. Given your current gas block arrangement it may be easier to go directly to a low pro gas block and free float rail. You should be able to find an excellent flip up that offers a comparable sight picture.

I think that you're overthinking it a little. Just cut it right down the middle and get a medium profile barrel. Also, your rail is going to play a big factor in balance as well. I like lightweight barrels, but am about to go to heavy profile barrels.

I can't help but wonder if your receiver has a different thread pitch for some reason. That second photo is a little rough but it should still engage the threads. This may sound silly but you are turning the barrel nut the correct direction, right?

Go get a thread file and recut it, you only damaged a dmall portion of the leading thread. It's easy to do just be patient and work slowly.

Take the barrel nut off and inspect it for burrs or damage, something is not right. If you have another one try threading it on by hand once the receiver threads are fixed.

Uh, maybe use WASR funds for RAS? Did you ty searching google for the RAS you're looking for? KAC was the prime contractor but there were sub-tier contractors that made them as well. I found 5 on Etsy one time that were made by a sub-tier and they were about $50 cheaper than the KAC made ones. Which knowing prime contractors like I do KAC may very well have not have made any of them.

I am relatively new to owning funs and want to buy/build an AR but I know nothing

>>34825360

>>34825221
Hey man, have you ever had a KAC rail cover not lock in?

>>34825235
>should I just cross thread it?

You wont explode, but you might not make torque if you wipe out all the threads on the way there. I Would personally file it and do it right but if you think you can get it to thread and not damage any more of it then go for it.

>>34825360
Budget? And post a pic of your ultimate end-all, be-all AR. We can tell you the fastest and cheapest way to get there.

>>34825380
no, but they always have a bit of play in them

>>34825380
Make sure your rail has the cuts in the rail for the panels to clip into
>>34825396
Eliminate play with a strip of electrical tape down the inside of the panel, zero wibbly wobblies after that

>>34825380
All the time. Mine will only "lock in" when the spring clip is going into either of end slots of my quad. The other slots in the middle aren't machined as fully and only have a semi-circular relief cut in them. Now if you're referring to the bit of wiggle they have, that's just because the spring clip can wiggle in its groove in the rail cover. But if you can grab the panel and just slide it up and down the rail then you may have my situation.

>it's pretty shitty, especially if you really need to torque down on something hard
Bullshit. Have you put 140 foot pounds into your block? I have five or six times and it didn't break. Pic related, installed and uninstalled several times.

Like above, use it more carefully. Don't just clamp the tiniest tip of the block, clamp the fat end and as much of it as will fit in your vise. And DONT CRANK DOWN THE VISE HARD. You don't need to clamp it, you only need to hold it from rotating.

Also put something between the receiver and clamp, like a paper towel or saran wrap, so the receiver doesn't get marked.

tl;dr I use my $15 amazon cheapfuck block HARD, and FREQUENTLY and it hasn't broken.

Geissele reaction rod, Bev Block and all that other $50+ shit is gimmick snake oil tier. There's literally no need for anything """more""".

Sorry.

>>34825472

>>34825445
That scope will kill your budget in and of itself. Here lemme line you out on as cheap of a M16A4gery clone as I can. Not a perfect clone but it'll be pretty close. The optic will have to come later. brb.

>>34825462
Ah I gotcha. That being the case I'd list it on the EE for what you want to get for it and just let it ride on the EE until it sells or you locate a buyer by other means. It's my opinion you should never invest money in a weapon you don't like to begin with, you're forcing it on yourself and you'll just resent it more later for wasting more of you time and money.

>>34825539
I've had that happen with mine. Take the panel off flip it over and check the spring slips. I had mine get stuck in its groove in the plastic panel and the ends of the clip weren't coming all the way through to engage the slots on the rail. Alternatively, with one I had to fish the clip out of the rail panel and bend a arch back into it because it had basically been bent flat be the SPC that had it before me.

dont say that

if i get fired ill fall into a deeper depression then before and i barely got out of that

>>34825758
all uppers go on all lowers unless they have feed ramps or buffer systems that don't jive, and even then they'll fit, they just won't run reliably

>>34825758
If it's a lower with a standard magwell (90% of them), it will fit a rifle upper (223,556,300blk)
Just look on PSA for Barreled uppers and complete lowers, they're good for newbie budget builds

>>34825771
well basically what you recommended looked fine to me
the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a handle over an optic
and as far as I can tell I'm only going to need one ar for awhile, there's still so many other guns I need to buy

You don't know what you're talking about. Saying shit like that is grounds for immediate termination in chain stores.

Block 1 until the mk18 is done, that will be the host for the can since finding a kac can for the m4qd that's currently pinned to the block might be difficult to acquire.

>>34825838
Could be, really depends on how much of an issue the lady makes it. Even if she mentions something it doesn't mean he'd get fired. Is it a chain store?

I'm very offended

You may think that but back when I worked retail the way I learned that my seasonal position there was over was that my name and shifts had been removed from the binder of people's schedules.

If it's a subway or something and she says something he's 100% shit canned. If it's some local deli it's more likely his boss just chews him out or asks what happened. Too hard to say either way without knowing the relationship between him and his boss.

>>34825930
it is vry aesthetic. im thinking 11.5" and maybe a 10" ddm4 rail, not sure yet. have an atpial not in use for it, also not sure on optic but lets be honest its almost guaranteed to be an aimpoint micro

>>34822954

Makes sense. Seasonal position would have a start date and an end date. Also done seasonal work and that's pretty much how it was.

The M952 is .95lbs on their website (m951 has no results)
And a couple of sites say 15.2oz

I see you
You've been especially persistent and active lately

Is everything alright with you

Would these the ideal specs for a hypothetical M16A5?

>17.5"-18" medium profile free floated barrel
>M-Lok forearm
>flat top
>folding iron sights
>uses M4A1 lowers

Previous /k/omments say that blemished products are okay.

Any concerns with ALG Defense products?

(I'm focusing on a value build and using a Sport II as a base.)

Is there an alternative I should be considering?

>>34826189
>ALG
>Sport 2
Nothing wrong but stop buying cheap shit and save a couple more neet bux

>>34826197
ALG is mid tier not cheap shit.

>>34826216
If you're buying an mlok rail that's the minimum boyo

>>34826170
I can't imagine a realistic scenario that would warrant the money spent on upgrading M16s instead of giving them to allies as aid.

If you amend your hypothetical to stipulate that the M4 carbine just never came to be, maybe, but if that were the case we probably would have adopted the 5.56 SCAR, and on a greater scale.

>>34826216
>ALG blem
>mid tier
Its not UTG but its not mid tier.

>>34826224
Maybe for you fags who only buy for aesthetic.
