Hey guys, I built my AR last year. After damaging a receiver trying to put a barrel nut on, I figured I should buy another upper receiver and have a reputable gunsmith do it.
After reading great reviews for "Firearms Service Center" I took my pieces up there to get get it finally built.

After that, I shot it, it shot fine. Jammed on some steel ammo, ate through some brass ammo.
Then I didn't do anything with it for 8 months.

I took it back out, and it started low gassing. Not fully expelling the spent round before the first one wanted to go back in.
I off my handguard, and my gasblock was off, and pic related was what I saw. The "I'm da AR guy I built dem in da army" guy at the range said this was likely the problem. But I haven't shot it since realigning it with some calipers and specs.

The big issue I have is. I got to looking at my gun, and my handguard is damaged. The way it fits onto the barrel nut is warped and some teeth are chipped on that same handguard. Which is a $180 one from midwest industries.

Should I go up to the service center and ask them to do something about this? It has been 8 months and I've put a 200 rounds through the gun since. But damage to my handguard is unacceptable to me. Along with, there were a lot of marks on the bottom of the gas block where it looks like they realigned the block quite a few times.

What do, other than shoot my gun soon to make sure that gas problem is gone?

sorry matw, but nothing would likely happen in your favor since you waited so long before checking your gun.

I figured just seeing what they'd say is logical. But, I agree I waited too fucking long. I hadn't had the money to take it out, and the initial wait to actually look at the fucking gun probably proves I'm a stupid sob.

Otherwise, I personally really didn't like how the Midwest Industries barrel nut bolted on, is there any 15 inch free float guard I could look at with a more secure torque transfer? I think that was one of the main reasons they fucked up.

I don't really like the multi-rail edgy look though. This rail is the best looking to me, I just don't like the barrel nut.

I torqued it down too hard between blocks of wood in a vice. Which twisted the receiver and cracked it.
It was a $50 upper receiver from Anderson, I was upset with myself for being bad. But it was the only part that I fucked up with my initial install, pretty good percentage rating compared to all the other bad luck I have.

Not a bad build idea, but I'd consider different rails honestly, either the DD Slim or KMR-A.

I come from nofunz country and can only choose between the following AR models
>Colt AR-15 H-bar
>Bushmaster mod. XM15
>Olympic Arms AR-15 H-bar
>Oberland Arms (OA) 15
>Armalite M 15
>STAG 15
>Smith & Wesson M&P-15

Are there any significant differences in these?
Which one would you recommend me?

Also, is it better to get one with detachable carry handle and Picatinny rail, or is fixed carry handle good enough and I can just buy a different upper if ever?

>>29369867

Could use some help folks. Order myself a custom built upper and it arrive today. The thing is it has no forge marks.

Actually, aside from the T-marks between the rails, it has absolutely no markings or stamps in the metal at all. Any idea who made it or how I can tell?

The builder claimed they mainly use Anderson or Aero Precision uppers in their builds.

It may be worth noting the lower I built myself is a Spikes Tactical and it also has no forge marks.

Yeah it's always been pretty fun, I just had trouble staying on top of it with my schedule. Would show up for maybe 1/10 of the shoots because busy and workaholic. The little local circuit I was on started getting heavy on indoor "tactical" range matches too, which was always kind of gay as the range was limited and space tight.

>>29370611
That kinda defeats the purpose IMO. It doesn't take a lot of skill to hit targets 3m away

I mean 25-50 yd still provides some decent shooting if they get creative with the layout, but yeah, nothing like the outdoor having to transition 15 yd to 200 or 300 yd.

Is it true that both the Bushmaster ACR and FN SCAR's lower is heavily based on the AR's lower? Or are they pretty much just a recolored AR lower, and an AR lower can fit either of the uppers?
They share striking resemblance.

They are designed to offer the controls in the same locations so that it is easy to transition from one rifle to the other. After that they take the same magazine. I forget if the SCAR takes AR grips or not.

That's the thing, like I said, apart from the T-marks the upper receiver has NO other marks or stamps in it at all. It is totally blank.

No forge marks.

That said, is there any other way to determine the forge and whatever company did the machining?

That lower is the Royal arms lower, it's billet.
Also all the info and S/N is down there senpai.

The SP15 lower is on my pistol, but unless the force mark is under the trigger guard/ grip/ endplate it doesn't exist.

>>29371208
Was gonna say it looked 3d af. That's what I thought - it might actually be covered once assembled

R8, Suggest changes, and Quick question.
Would there be any noticeable benefit from me swapping my PSA bolt out with a BCM? My PSA is HPT and MPI and made of Carpenter 158 steel.

Not unless your PSA BCG doesn't work.

>>29371351
Nah, unless you're having issues with your PSA bolt I'd call it good.

Only suggestion I'd make is a different rail. The Gen 2 MI rails have a lousy mounting method and are kind of weak in general.

I'd suggest something like the Geissele Mk8, if you absolutely need to upgrade something.

>>29371351

Took it out as soon as I got my ADM from Amazon today.

Great optic, pretty much a 9.5/10 in its price tier. Almost wishing I went with the 5x but I'm happy, the reticle is awesome.

I actually did that right after taking that picture and left it that way. I usually keep it up that far if I'm on the farm so I can just tote it over my shoulder, but when actually shooting I just move the QD button back above the mag well.

>>29371393
>>29371395
Well thanks for that. For whatever reason someone told me I should get a BCM bolt, but I didn't see any real benefit to it if the PSA was up to spec. And so far, I really like the SSKMR, but if I ever upgrade, I'll keep the geiselle in mind. The only upgrade I've been tossing around is a new trigger group. I'm mostly leaning towards geiselle on that, but I'm open to suggestions.

How is the brightness on the reticle? Did you have any trouble with it washing out or was it always bright enough? I assume as long as it's bright enough you can pick it up pretty easily with the horse shoe style reticle.

I'm getting parts together for an AR, but I can't decide against a full size rifle or a 10.5 pistol w/ shockwave brace (eventually SBR). I've owned several 16" ARs and love target shooting. But, the 10.5 would be better suited as a home defense weapon and would be awesome.

Are 10.5 AR pistols just meme guns or are they worth it? Full size or nah? Accuracy?

We also try to make it down to Winter War, which is a lot closer to your locale I think.

All the other events I'm looking at on my units list are either Ohio or Indianna.

Oh, and Seige of Azure Castle is a new event, but it's at a paintball park with a castle and village and shit, so it's looking super promising. It is also in April.

just get some stolen valor off ebay.

I will repost hk translucent mag test documenting photos in next thread.

>>29372905
>>29372917
Yea.

The test consists of dropping hk mag fresh out of freezer three time on its feed lip from 4 feet and thats actually always lick more than 4 feet because i had hold steel tape measure to extremely rough concrete i hold the lowest point of magazine above 4 feet by inch to account possible angle error. Unlike another tester i saw they hold highest point of mag at measurement this is wrong.

So. The frozen hk mag survived drop from 4 feet high fully loaded with fed val pak 55gr fmj slamming its feeding lips into ground three time fast as i could take few photo after each drop.

Then i went on to 6 feet drop for three time. The mag was not fully warm/thraw before this 6 feet drop test it isnt frozen but cold.

Throughout those testing if it spit out round i documented it and then reload the mag to full capacity for next drop. Throughout the test the mag only spit out maximum amount of two rounds and sometime only one and few time no round was spit out.

For next document photo dump the file name will say which test it is whenever its 4ft frozen drop or cold 6ft drop.

The file name will include number after word "drop" which say the number of drop photo is documenting. The lower case roman numeral is the number of photo after the drop.

The visible round outside of the magazine is very round that mag spit out if theres only one meaning for the drop mag only spit out that amount.

Final drop

>>29373662
Take better pictures, I'd like to see it

>>29373662
who makes it?
MOA?
MOA Who?

>>29373687
MOA Tactical makes it. This is their forged lower, they call it milspec+.

They also do a pretty gucci billet lower for $179.

The upper is also MOA Tactical, and is straight milspec. I got a badly blemished one for $19.97. Some chucklefuck new guy that they hired to assemble stripped uppers forewent vise jaw padding so there's some significant dings in the anodizing and the roll pin for the forward assist needs to be driven out and reset. It came as a complete/partially assembled one they were trying to get rid of.

They're local to Arnold, MO. It's a small company, the owner teaches at the state police academy and has done a couple pro tem gigs out at Gunsite, he's our local SOT.

>>29373680
Working on it. My office is dark AF, getting some better lighting set up in my gun room.

>>29373723
Cool m80

I feel dumb for thinking the SN-ACH was $20.
The short latches are $20, the SN-ACH itself is $85.

Probably going to get a Strike Industries ARCH with an extended latch.
>>29373723
Neato, their rollmark isn't too bad on the forged lower.
And that billet lower looks pretty good too.

>parts list
MOA Tactical forged lower
MOA Tactical forged upper, blemished
MOA Tactical upper parts kit
BCM pistol buffer tube kit, complete (pistol tube, standard carbine spring, standard carbine buffer, QD endplate, normal castle nut
AXTS Raptor charging handle
ARMS SIR #46 handguard
Green Mountain 4140CMV barrel blank stub that might maybe eek out an 8" barrel but probably a 7.5"

I have a milspec LPK from Black Rain around somewhere, would just need a barrel nut, barrel extension, and sights. Will probably also throw a KAK flashcan on it to give a bigger perceived muzzle diameter, especially if I can inset part of it under the rail.

>>29373723
Link to there stuff? I can't find them. Thanks.

What are your plans for your build?

hey is a detachable carry handle from BCM and a stock A2 forward sight frowned upon by u guys or is the /k/ approved?

Closeup of lower, showing the bolt release screw.

The lower uses screws instead of coil pins for the bolt catch, takedown pin, hinge pin, and selector detent/spring (requires clipping a couple coils off a normal spring). Also has a tension screw for upper fitment but I don't particularly care for those. They're better than an Accu-Wedge, but still not as good as getting a good fit out the gate.

>>29373829
Not sure they have a website, sold through a local tacticool shop. Lemme see if I have one of their business cards.

it's neat.. just know that you're cutting your rifles performance short

>>29373829
synergydefence.com.

They're listing the MOA forged for $95 currently, it's $89 in store.

Also here's the billet.
>https://synergydefence.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=94_90&product_id=889

Build plans are for a fuckaround gun in .300blk because I already have a barrel stub from the last barrel I turned and a handguard that sucks on a rifle but would be p. neat on a pistol, so I'm in this gun for a little over $300.

>>29373863
well i figured i would keep it on the 3 o'clock part of my rail and use my PA micro, and if/when it shits i can switch to the carry handle
>at least mine isn't perm attached to my upper

>>29373837
Approved from me. Those are ruggized like fuck but be aware you shooting speed and efficiency will be reduced.

Question:

I know you are deaf.

Is your internal monologue in ASL? Like, do you picture a hand making signs as you think?

Or do you picture written words?

>>29373927
A2?

I can send you one for the cost of a bubble mailer, if you'd like.

Holy shit yes

I would consider relocating that light so that you can more easily shoot from a rest or sand bag.

I don't like having anything on the 6 oclock on my handguard (except a grip)

Whats a good inexpensive rail to throw on a rifle with a 16" carbine gas system that looks good?

Monstrum :^)

>>29373861
Neat. but im not fan. For me, it introduce new worry for it be able to unscrew and call for locite. Especially for it is in use to secure the thing which will repeative rotate in same direction the screw would. Fuck that shit to hell.

*sweating intensifies

I would lose sleep over that shit.

I prefer roll pin for im very comfort with installing and removing them.

>>29373928
Very few ask that question. only smart one do.

Answer's never never never signing its always in english text or me speaking. A lot time i would say perfect english sentences but when type often i speak in my mind as i type and often mind's voice's waaay faster and when typing i would fail to type thing like is,the,of,etc. for I simply forget to type that word and i wouldnt notice unless i proof read it or write slow.

Oh and i have asked that question to another deaf people and bilingual (only the one thats bilingual since kid often spanish/english)

Some deaf people do think in sign some say neither just the thought.

Aaaand 4chan doesnt call for typing slow for proper english or proof reading.

Good question, got any more?

>>29374080
I like Seekins and Aero. Both fit pretty much everyone's suppressors (1.75-1.8" ID) and are comfy, both come in both shelfmod and patentlok, and both are around $150 new.

If you want a ~10-11" one Cordan (I think) has a 10.5" Seekins MCSR v2 for $135 shipped. It's a little short IMO for a 16" rifle but it's a damn good handguard.

>>29374107
Literally none of those rotate the same direction as the screw, and half of them don't rotate period. Also the selector detent and takedown detent screws are captured by the grip and endplate, respectively.

Also, DPMS has been doing it for 20+ years on their LR308's and G2's and not once have I heard of one backing out. It's seriously a superior design.

>>29373927
To replace the gas block or to mount atop it?

For fsb to be pinned you would need to drill through secured fsb on barrel (barrel too). With tapered drill bit then pin it.

Or get one that have set screw.

I recommend JP FSB with adjustable gas capability.

>>29370611
what cases are those?

>>29374098
Not really into the quad rail...

>>29374118
I like aero, i have their 15" keymod on my 18" upper.
Im just looking for something to throw on a spare upper and barrel in the near future for a fuck around gun with no purpose.

>>29374170
it had a stock S&W a2 on it before the previous owner took it off, i just wanna undo that mistake

if you want to go budget, i like ALG. very solid slim rail for around $100

I like my matrix arms rail aside from the lack of indexing tabs.
They make other styles too if you don't like the one I've got.
>>29374204
kek

>>29374198
Unless you have the very fsb he took off you would need redrill for pinning another fsb on because every one is drilled and pinned differently.

The hole wont line up otherwise.

Sorry.

>>29374158
For me. for me.

It raise those concerns.

Does it work with a standard mil spec LPK?

I have decided that I'm looking for an air rifle/pellet gun thing, not like plastic airshitter junk, like spits actual chunks of metal with 1MOA accuracy, and it would be cool if it resembled an AR, which are now fucking illegal thanks Dannel
Can someone point me in the right direction?

What's the situation with ear protection when you're deaf?
I imagine it's still important because ears are delicate even if you can't hear.
Also, can deaf folk get tinnitus?
