I dunno honestly. I took the elements of a lot of rifles.

I like my rifle so much though that I just ordered all the parts I need to build another rifle just like it, but with a magnified optic.

>>29840215

You've really got an axe to grind.

A2 stock masterrace. Daily reminder that carbine and A1 stocks are for manlets who can't handle real length of pull.

Actually, I just realized that for a lot of my rifle, I copied what Skeletor has going. His rifle and I's are vaguely similar.

So I just got a KAC 200-600m BUIS and the top part of the sight, the peep sight portion seems to lean to the left slightly when viewed from the rear.

Is this normal? or does it even matter considering I can change the left/right adjustment?

pic isn't my sight but if it would help I can go snap a shitty pic with my phone and upload it.

How many of your put upgraded drop-in triggers into your ARs.?
If your lower came with a "mil-spec' trigger group, do you keep and use it that way?
or spend $200+ on a better drop in lime timney or BRO?

I've got a an LE6920 with a stock trigger, seems like heavy pull and i feel like im jerking the rifle around when i pull the trigger.

Considering buying a drop in because i want to tighten up my groupings. Or do i need to learn to shoot with a heavy trigger pull first?

>>29840301
What's that optics on the top rifle? I'm thinking of getting an acog type optics for my 7.62.

How much did it cost? Like it?

What the fuck

I am going to repost this here. I got about 1500 to spend on a AR build. I have zero idea where to start and I would like to make it as tacticool as possible.

ta33(r8). i paid $750 for it from amazon. its great. good eye relief, 3x power, a little longer but less bulky than other models. the downside is its sometimes described as like looking down a straw. a bit exaggerated IMO, but i can see why they say that (no pun intended)

Is your gun cerakoted? Sometimes of the tolerances are already tight on the rail, the cerakote pushes it just out of spec and some things cant over a bit. My eotech does that. Doesn't do a thing, though once I got it sighted in.

>>29840427
Yes,
The only difference is the rollmark.

>>29840373

I'd put a good trigger on it now if I intended to ever. Better to build habits the way you want.

I put a CMC 3.5lb flat trigger on mine. Feels good, man.

Might be an optical illusion. The turret on the side just makes it look lopsided.

Cover the picture with your hand so that the turret can't be seen, then look again.

>>29840373
All but 1 of my AR's has a high end trigger in it (mix of Geisseles and a pair of CMC's). I don't know if I have bad luck with build kits or what, but every milspec trigger I've tried is around 9lbs and super creepy with a long reset. Pretty hard to shoot well with those.

For what you'd pay for an "enhanced milspec" or for a trigger job from a competent smith on a milspec, you're better off saving up the extra $50 to get you into a CMC or Larue.

It still looks tilted, here it is with the range set to 600m. It looks even more pronounced to me and I can move it left and right by applying a little bit of pressure to the side. It gives with the feeling of a spring being compressed.

Between $750 and $900 for a used one. And I fucked that up a little. The non-CHF premium middy is $300, the CHF carbine is $300, the CHF middy is $500, so either a CHF carbine (ew) or a non-CHF middy for $300. The complete lower is $250, and the stock is ~$50. Any ACOG under a grand and you're under $1500.

The local tactical-ish gunshop fucked up the installation of a front sight base. It's canted, and the goddamn taper pins didn't even fit.

I'm fucking livid. I'm pissed that I second-guessed myself three times where I should have NOPE'd out of that shop. I only took it to them because I lacked access to a nice drill press. I could have done this amateur job myself for free.

The bolt on my AR pistol won't lock back because the BCG won't go all the way back. I have a cheap chinese pistol buffer tube/spring/piston. What should I do?

It's not a huge deal, but I suspect that the spring being fully compressed in the buffer tube is probably bad for longevity. Putting excess stress on the buffer tube threads and whatnot.

It really was funny as fuck. He'd point them when they landed on whatever they landed on, and as soon as they took off again he'd snap them up. He had to have gotten stung in the mouth a bunch but it never seemed to bother him. He'd also occasionally get a honey bee but they usually weren't big enough to get his attention.

Also, to actually stick to the edition topic...my middy came about, at the very beginning, from a demo of Blacksite: Area 51. Yes, that completely forgettable FPS from nearly a decade ago. I liked how cool the M4A1 in it was, and how it managed to be simple, yet effective. That in turn lead me to pay more attention to the rifles I'd see on the news of guys in the sandbox, and when the time finally came that I bought a (midlength) A2 carbine, that urge resurfaced. I wanted a simple, practical carbine with a RD, VFG, quadrail, A2 FSB, and a rear BUIS.

My A1 build was inspired by We Were Soldiers. The urge only really hit a couple years ago when I rewatched it again for the first time in a long while. I'd only recently gotten my first AR, and the historian part of me quickly decided I needed one. Back then, I thought all M-16s in 'Nam were A1s, and was completely oblivious to the fact that they were depicted using XM16E1s in the movie.

Nothing. I took it to them originally to get it unpinned, then gave it to a buddy who told me he had the proper tools to take off the muzzle brake and put on my new one, and it turns out that he didn't have the proper tools and that the gun smith didn't properly unpin the muzzle device, so when he took it out he fucked up the finish on my barrel and the sloppily unpinned device destroyed the threads, so they had to chop down the barrel. My buddy had also tried to put the MAMS on over the destroyed threads saying that there was totally enough clearance and that it wouldn't fuck up the threads, but he was wrong, and fucked the threads up the process. I just chalk it all up to me being stupid enough to trust LGSs and friends.

>>29844055

The MicroMOA family of barrels is right up your alley, but they use 4150 CMV steel. Still come with an accuracy guarantee thanks their use of match grade blanks.

Melonite on 416R stainless works great actually, as the nitriding actually does help toughen and harden the steel. Question is that some companies do it well, some do not. The molten salt that is used in meloniting can be enough to mess up the heat treat and stress relief on a match grade barrel.

The companies that are aware of this and address this issue (Micro MOA, Ballistic Advantage, Griffin Armament) are fine, but there are some Melonited barrels that shoot like shit because of the treatment.

Can some one who knows about cheap ass angle grinders give me some advice here.

My angle grinder says not to use straight cutoff wheels, but if I flip the retaining nut upside down and tighten it down it holds it just as secure as it would normally, and it has all the clearance and shit that it needs.

Nothing should go wrong as long as I am careful, right?

>>29846510

Have you operated any dindus yet?

neat, thanks for the link bruv

>>29846518

if you want mas grey youll have to check ebay, I dont believe LBT is producing mas grey gear right now. There are also other PC's that are very comperable but more affordable, I paid $350 for mine including shipping but they retail for $400+

A lot of folks love the mayflower APC, which is very similar to the LBT but they run about $200

>>29846525

kek, no

>>29846537
Neat, that works.

I just checked their website and I didn't see any gray plate carriers or gear, which is a bit of a downer but like you said, I bet it would be less expensive on ebay.

Any plate carrier similar to that, is what I'm really looking for. Color doesn't matter too much because I don't think it will be an immediate purcahse

One sec. I have to shrink the photos from the size my phone takes them at for them to be able to post.

Yeah, it's too bad you failed all over the place on that one.

>>29846572
damnnn... Where'd you get those grips, son?

>>29846583
I have a 300 scout, had a Noveske keymod light mount waiting for it, as soon as I got the flashlight in the mail the light mount fucking disappeared, I looked everywhere.

Thanks for reminding me to order another.

>>29846598
They're just magpul k2s. Get them anywhere.

>>29846572
Did you drill out your upper for the NSR anti rotation pin? Do you feel like it's necessary?

>>29846596
Nah I think its pretty perfect in every way conceivable. Suck my 13.7" Ultramatch barrel bitch.

Lets see your shit heap of an AR

>>29846598
K2+ its the rubberized version, really pairs nicely with the Giessele Tricon bow

Here it is with the nut in the proper orientation.

I'm so sorry, I watched that robocop document and it seems like you guys have a rough go of it up there.

>>29846612
I bought the Noveske edition Mur-1 specifically for the build, came with a pre drilled hole

>>29846633

It's pretty much a shithole, but I'm here more or less by choice so...

And here it is with the cutoff wheel that the manual says not to use. But the nut holds it securely in place when I just flip it upside down and tighten it down.

I plugged it in and gave it a spin, and it seemed fine, but I haven't cut anything with it.

>>29846627
Ah, rubberized. I could kinda tell they weren't just plain wood. I'll have to see if there are some that'll fit my 1911 .22.

>>29846650
well they're plastic buddy, for your 19111 try some pachmeyr grips. They look pretty spiffy and feel great.

are polymer lowers terrible for any reason I should know about?

>>29846643
They're probably covering their asses by saying not to do that. Keep the guard on and tighten the wheel down. Let it run for a minute and pay attention to see if you can feel or see any wobble. If it wobbles and it's tight, I wouldn't use it. If it doesn't wobble, you'll be fine. That being said, use your head and don't be stupid and bind the wheel or jam it.

>>29846707

Gotcha. That's pretty much what I figured was going on.

Normally I would use the proper grinding disk, but I need the cutoff wheel to cut the delta ring off of an upper because the grinding wheel is way too huge. So if it can make it through a little bit of aluminum it'll be fine.

And the handguard retainer, but that's just stamped metal.

So as long as it stays tight it should be fine?

>>29846705

Not really. They can handle standard usage. Not something you would want to take into a battle but it's reliable enough. It can handle the minimal heat it's exposed to. It's strong and durable. But it's not battle tested.

I trust polymers made by sig and glock, but the AR-15 industry is newer to the Polymer lower game. Maybe in a few years they'll be in more common use.

While lowers are low-stress areas of the rifle, just keep it in mind. If weight is your goal, go for it. If you're just being a cheap fuckass over 20-30 dollars savings, don't do it.

>>29846749

What this guy said. Unless you are trying to be snowflakey or save as much weight as possible, you can go to your FLGS and pay no more than $70 to get an Anderson lower that does the same thing as all the other milspec lowers you have seen.

>>29846723
Yeah as long as it's tight it should be fine. Don't try doing any weird cuts or the likes. Just cut in a straight line. If you need to make a curved cut, do something like you would with a circular saw. Or just do a straight cut down and smooth it out as you see fit.

>>29846749
I would prefer to buy an aluminum lower really but my LGS are jerkoffs and don't actually sell them (I think they worship polymer, actually), and their transfer fees are unreasonable.

>>29846761
See above.

>>29846770

then be willing to drive and do business with a better FFL. Really, don't sell yourself short or chain yourself to a local store if they don't do good business.

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/84212/redirect

Price match and type in 380 and you'll get it for 389. My money isn't green enough for them since I live in New York.

>>29846763

Straight cuts should be fine. I'm not even going to use it on the A2 FSB to trim it, I should be able to do all of that with the grinding wheel.

As long as I can weaken the delta ring and handguard retainer enough, I'll just rip them off with vice grips and a flat head once they are weak.

>>29846770

Find a better LGS. Don't give bad people good business.

>>29846788
Oh I thought you were using it to cut the A2 fsb. Yeah you'll be fine with the delta ring and handguard retainer. I'd put a cut on opposite sides and make it easy but that's me.

>>29846801

For the delta ring I was going to cut on opposite sides until I can pry it off with a flat head.

The retainer I'm not sure, but if I come in on the side of it I should be able to weaken it enough that I can just rip it off with vice grips.

I'm trying to avoid having to remove the FSB from the barrel for this, because every one else had so much trouble with the taper pins. I am going to remove the gas tube though.

I may try my hand at removing the taper pins once it gets here. Supposedly sometime this afternoon.
