I'm getting a new lower (Spikes), upper (Spikes), and handguard (Midwest Industries MLOK Gen 3).

Everything gets here Friday except for the lower which gets here Monday.

If I have the FFL put my complete upper on, plus the buffer tube + stock, do I still need to wait the 7 days? Or can he sell it as a complete rifle at that point?

>>30143095
>Radical Firearms
>not a bad rifle
Until the barrel extension comes unscrewed in 500 rounds, causes excess headspace and the gun blows up.

They and Vulcan are literally the only commercially-produced AR's that are legitimately unsafe to use.

Yes. It's called "save up another thousand dollars."
>but seriously
Lurk PSA's sales. $800 will get you a complete rifle with irons and optic that doesn't suck if you lurk sales, or a complete rifle with irons that doesn't suck if you don't lurk sales.

CMMG is good quality with some dumb design elements. Mainly handguard choice. And they're a little overpriced, but as a fellow Missourian I like them.

In that case, $800 will take you a long damned way. It's enough for a fairly /arg/ approved camwhore gun plus either a new cheap-but-good optic or a used high-end optic.

>>30143196
Yes, but they'll be arfcom and 300blktalk forum posts about people trying to remove muzzle devices and having it come unscrewed. So far haven't found any evidence of it doing during actual use but it's a known issue and people are pissed about it because it's 100% caused by them cutting corners during assembly.

>>30143233
Define inexpensive.

MBUS Gen2's are fine (if ugly and bulky), and can be had for ~$25. Gen1's are also fine and can be had for like $15.

You can occasionally snag a Matech used on Ebay for $45-55 (they used to be like $25 but supply dried up).

The holy grail are the USMC-stamped KAC Micro rears on Ebay. Depending on how impatient you are you can get one from $45-65, with a median price right around $60. They're pretty much the best rear sight made.

I was considering anything under 50 dollars to be inexpensive but if KAC is that good I could pay extra.

>>30143277
It is.

Also you can lurk ebay and pick up one not on Buy It Now for around $50. I've bought 4 and I've paid $45, $47, $58, and $59 for mine but it took some patience.

>>30143281
I'm in no hurry in any case, I've only got half a rifle sitting in my bedroom anyway. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks.

Yes, they just started issuing them out with RCO's instead of having the carry handles sit in the armory. The last rifle qual I did the new data books had them, so they just don't have enough for every unit yet. The ones on eBay are ones being pocketed by shady armorers I bet, if something isn't serialized then that shit gets disappeared fast as fuck.

The complete inability to hold over or range along with capped turrets so you can't dial either.

The Accupoint/power series are the tube scope equivalent of a red dot with a magnifier and at their price points are simply not competitive in features or glass quality with other variable 1-n optics provided by other manufacturers.

Most people that are like "pistons arent worth it" assume that the desire to use one stems from a belief that they are "superior" to D.I. and brings up that old argument. I just want to play around with one but dont want to spend the money on a total piece of shit. Hence the reason I was thinking of getting a well assembled upper.

Hoping you guys can help me break-down the total investment in building this package.

>"60rds fired through. Colt 14.5" heavy socom barrel, bcm a2x flash hider(pinned and welded by ccs), 6 position mil-spec receiver extension(buffer tube), Colt butt stock, matech buis, Cardinal upper receiver, smith enterprise bcg, New Frontier Armory alum lower, I'll throw in (3) usgi 30 rds mags."

Note, he's switching out the BUIS for the USGI carry handle pictured, and the carbine will have milspec CAR handguards.

Colt 14.5 inch SOCOM barrel: $300
Cardinal upper: $70
Parts to complete upper: $50
Smith enterprises BCG: $220
Smith enterprises bolt: $100
BCM A2X flash hider: $30
Pinning flash hider: $50
USGI carry handle: $60
Stripped NFA G-15 lower: $80
Lower parts kit: $60
Stock/buffer/tube: $50
3 USGI mags: $30

So, about a total of $960 in parts. Assuming no shipping/sales tax/background or transfer fees.

I'm going to be trading a WASR for this carbine later today. I understand it isn't worth the same resale value as the parts cost to source, but am I doing good with this trade?

This carbine is basically what I'd want to build myself, and this would save me some work... and if my math is right, some money (WASR cost me $400 last year).

Thanks in advance for any advice or feedback. And apologies if my math is severely off...

>>30147803

Again, I know it isn't worth what it cost to build (on the other hand, AKs are the opposite) . Virtually no AR is. But it is a better way in my opinion of estimating the value in a package, than just blindly attributing a number.

I'm figuring out if the trade for a WASR is smart.

And these colts do not have a 14.5 inch barrel. Plus, they're not much cheaper, and are still missing components.

A 14.5 inch SOCOM barrel balances differently, and has a shorter OAL once both rifles have muzzle devices installed.

Reading up on the company shows a following and great reputation, so some people clearly think it is worth the investment. Although it isn't one I'd likely choose to make, I'm not going to ignore it because I'm mad that a company charges more than PSA.

>honest to god, that rifle you want is a hodgepodge.

What rifle isn't? All the parts are cast in different factories then customized by the end-manufacturers. We've had milspec defined and published for more than long enough that this is an absolute non-issue to anything beyond dick wagging.


Even Asian countries have completely copied the AR design, manufacturing their own. It isn't complicated.

As for weight: 4 ounces for a better balance, and theoretically more accurate barrel, is a fair trade off for me. I never felt my 20 inch M16A4 clone build was too heavy, so I think I'll survive.

Sending in a barrel to get worked defeats the purpose. I'm talking about a trade, not designing my own AR from the ground up with a blank-check budget.

>>30148022
I'm aware of this. I've built my own ARs in the past. I clearly didn't build this one.

Dunno if you're still lurking but I'll be the lone voice of piston AR's I guess. I really like my POF. I've had it a few weeks and we're creeping on 1000 rounds with no oil, no cleaning, no wipe down. 300rds wolf, 250rds Tula, 200 rds of different brass case from Sportsman's and half a can of M193.

As you can see the receiver is clean as a whistle. BCG and bolt are also clean. Only malfunctions of the whole lot were two M193 stovepipes when I was playing around with the gas adjustment. It's also worth mentioning that I ran 6 magazines through the gun, semi rapid fire, and could kiss the BCG. It was barely warm to the touch.

Both the cleanliness over all and coolness of the rifle immediately after the shooting I've done leads me to personally believe SS piston is slightly superior to conventional AR design.

Is my AR better than say a Noveske, BCM, other good brand, or even a good home build with a quality trigger and barrel?
Nope. Probably not in 99% of situations.
However, I really like it and I can afford it so I bought it. I am certainly not at all disapointed.

>>30148137
>We've had milspec defined and published for more than long enough that this is an absolute non-issue to anything beyond dick wagging.

lol okay. when your upper and lower have features that don't line up at all (something that actually occurs and i myself am an owner of one even thought both my upper and lower came from the SAME company) and the finishes are so drastically different you can tell me that this is an imaginary non-issue

also when your barrel index pin and gas port don't line up with your upper receiver's indexing slot you can also say that is imaginary because MUH MIL STD.

you're buying a fucking pile of shit. keep your wasr, save more money. it's obvious you're looking for a poorfag entry point and it's going to bite you in the ass later.

also buy a matched mega receiver set and try to tell anyone with a straight face that all AR's are the same. you can't even separate the upper and lower without forcing them apart even without any pins installed. there is a HUGE variance in precision of manufacturing in both the upper and lower in the AR world. that's why it fucking matters and isn't a dick waving contest like you think it is.

>>30148678
You poor, dense thing. Let's establish some things here:

In a conventional AR you have a gas tube venting hot expanding gas back into the gas key and out the holes in the side of the BCG.

In a SS piston gun, the gas pushes the gas puck which pushes the op-rod against a solid piece on the BCG and all the gas from that process vents at the gas block, 8 inches from the receiver.

Now you claim that using the same ammo, ambient temp, rate of fire, etc. that both systems will build the same amount of heat and dissipate that heat at the same rate with regards to the BCG?

Does that pretty much sum up your claim or did I get it wrong?

I want to rip your lizard in half just to watch how long it would survive. Then rip you in half and watch if the upper half still votes republican.

Not gonna lie, the choice between being a spic in the US and a white guy in the EU should be pretty obvious.
There's little good in being the reincarnation of Adonis or whatever the fuck if you're aboard a sinking ship in the middle of an ocean of shit.

Hello

so, i need one of those bcg that has the handle attached directly to the carrier.

what is it called?

>>30148615

>>30148744

it looks good but you can't know how it will fit together until you get to handle it

to address your statement about my own claims about no guaranteed fitment from the same manufacturer, it's true, but they usually put more care into fitting the uppers and lowers together when selling them as a complete unit like a rifle. i've witnessed this with a few rifles vs builds. it seems to be a trend that builds are most of the time very sloppy and complete rifles fit together really nicely. this is just my personal experience though.

Couple questions.

Is it normal for a new cam pin to be so tight you can barely get it out by hand?

Is it normal for one side of a firing pin retaining pin to be longer than the other?

>calling me dense and talking to me like i don't fully understand the stoner design

gas pucks are not tappets you dummy.

>Now you claim that using the same ammo, ambient temp, rate of fire, etc. that both systems will build the same amount of heat and dissipate that heat at the same rate with regards to the BCG?

yes because the heat dissipation provided by volume of the gas well and the distance the gas has already traveled coupled with the fact that the tail of the bolt carrier has very low thermal mass compared to the time it takes for the gas to be fully evacuated by the carrier returning to locked position allows it to cool down before it becomes an issue. it was designed this way. that's what piston faggots don't understand. they think it was a flawed design. it isn't. it's highly refined. the ar15 is fully fleshed out, even compared to the hackjob ar10 or the m14. both of which are incomplete designs.

How to build m16a1 style for cheapish (aka under a grand)

>>30149147
just throw it at the mail main and tell him to "take it to giddy from 4chan"

what's a good barrel to use as a test bed, all i need is for it to be chambered in 223/wylde/556 and be accurate.

no gas port or profile needed.
