Is there a "sweet spot" for mounting forward grips? I'm thinking right about here in the picture but I can't get out to the range to test it out for about a month.

I asked in another thread, but I'll ask here as well:

Just how picky are AR10 upper and lower receivers? Like if I were to get a Mega Arms maten lower and pair it with Aero M5 upper or some other combination? I understand the platform has a lot of compatibility problems, but how much of that applies to stripped upper and lower receivers?
I'm not going for looks, just function.

So is this the "best" placement? Not sure if there's some science behind where to place it or if I should just "wing it".

>>30165835
The idea is it needs to be far enough so your arm is almost fully extended. Doesn't need to go all the way up if it's uncomfortable

Generally more fat than anything. Lost all my muscles I had from the military and stayed at the same weight. College life made me not care enough I guess.

>>30165870
I do plan on getting a laser or laser/light combo at some point. I've never had a laser on a weapon before and I think it'd be a nice addition to make close quick target acquisition near instant. Flashlights on the muzzle are very nice both for home defense and allowing you to shoot at night at the range. Can't wait to get one, but broke college student right now so I've gotta be happy with what I have. Can't even afford ammo.

Seems reasonably comfortable at this distance. I can either have my elbow bent or straight at this distance. When I get a laser/light combo I'll probably move it back a notch or two. That won't be for a while though.

I may adjust it when I eventually get out to the range again, but we'll see.

ETS mags are, I think.

Some SOF pictures are using a clear AR magazine these days, I would guess ETS instead of Lancer.

Hey friendo's, having a suppression issue.

I built an M4 block 1.5 clone, it's a 14.5" Colt upper and bcg. It's got a SiCo trifecta pinned/welded on it so I can mount my Omega.

Unsupressed the thing runs like a top, beautiful. When I put the suppressor on it, it ejects like shit (casings barely tumble out) and I'll get FTF's and it's fucking my casings up.

I swapped in an old NiB bcg I had laying around and it runs a lot better. It only weighs 1/8oz more than the Colt, and the only other difference I can find is that the gas rings in this NiB are pretty well worn out, whereas the Colt bcg is brand new.

What am I experiencing here and what are some remedies to fix it? I'd really rather keep the Colt bcg in it if possible. Heavier buffer?

These are all the magazines I currently own for my AR. I've got two polymer Magpul GenM3 and one aluminum STANAG-looking magazine. I like the Magpul magazines quite a lot but the aluminum magazine just feels like trash. When you pick it up you can hear the spring inside and it sounds like the follower is loose even though it feeds fine. Additionally, you can push down one side of the follower and get it sorta stuck at an angle inside the magazine.

Is there a way to fix this so the follower doesn't tilt to one side? Or should I just give this mag to a friend and buy some more Magpul M3 magazines once I get money?

>>30167455

You need a H2 buffer, maybe H3. Buy a H3, because you can change the weights and figure out what works.

But Colt SOCOM 14.5 inch barrels are fielded with H2 buffers. Not much of an issue with cheap ammo, or unsuppressed.

Running a can, firing full auto, or hotter 5.56.. you'll want a heavier buffer, or you'll have bolt slap and fucked up ejection.

Yeah, I've noticed gun stores don't seem go know much about buffer weights. I had to walk out of a gun store when they told me all they have was "rifle or pistol buffers" and told me I was wrong when I tried to tell them ARs are a little more complicated than that.

They just want to carry the lightest buffers because they're half the price, and most people shoot weak .223.

What distance are you guys sighted in at snd what are you shooting off of to sight in?

>>30165835
Depends on the isometric strength of your trapezius and anterior deltoid. Not even memeing, if you're stronk or have a light fore end you want your support hand farther forward and more on the side so you have more leverage to control the muzzle during recoil. If you're weak or have a heavy ass barrel you want your support hand lower and closer so you have more leverage to support the weight itself (think of the difference in difficulty between holding a heavy object close to your chest or extended at arm's length)

I had my aimpoint zeroed to 50 yards and never shot it past 150 yards, I'm planning on zeroing my MRO to 50 yards when aero gets around to send the fucking parts for my new rifle

I zero my irons, then zero the red dot off the irons, then fine tune the zero of the red dot from there.

Sounds like a good price. Other option is a 9mm buffer, if you can find one for cheap. They're heavier, but you can switch around weights with your H buffer and find a good balance.

He isn't saying it won't kill someone. He's saying the effective range is undeniably shorter, and if you want to shoot at ranges requiring a magnified optic, you'd be better served by at least a 14.5 inch barrel.

And, I agree. Honestly, I wouldn't even be going shorter than 11.5, unless considering 300 blk (not to say 10.5 can't be reliable or kill) but I certainly wouldn't be putting a magnified optic on something that is more of a PDW than a carbine.

A reflex sight will better serve the utility of that set up, in my humble opinion.

>having shit extraction
yeah, that can happen when your bolt is accelerating faster than the chamber pressure is dropping
since he's suppressing a carbine length gas system that's likely
you're basically adding barrel length when attaching a suppressor

in terms of weight to performance, i feel it is.

>>30168560
Holy shit I've been looking for this patch forever, thanks man. Only morale patch I'd wear in public without feeling like a tool

>>30169569
Everything you said is true, but it's also true for my variable zoom PA optic. Doesn't need batteries for the reticle (but has them for illumination), can be used with both eyes open (as all shooting should be), and you can zoom in which really helps me at range. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be though, so your mileage may vary. It is however heavier than an ACOG.

>>30169595
>"I have never owned, or operated the product I am talking about" the post.

I've owned both and besides the eye relief on the 4x ACOG, its considerably better at close quarters than any variable optic I've ever used. You can still use variables with both eyes open, as >>30169632 explains.

>>30169603
The difference is quite neglible, but yes red dots are usually better because you can mount them farther away from the eye which I feel makes them faster.

>>30169632
When I meant no batteries I was referring to illumination, which is 100% necessary during most lighting conditions.

>>30169664
Thanks for the clarity. Looks like I'll be searching out an acog with rmr. Or would it just be a waste?

Pic related, 50 yard groups with my red dots. My iron sight groups are tighter, which just doesn't seem right.

>>30170051
I can shoot pretty precise with a full power rifle scope, but this is my first red dot, or any optic for that matter with illumination. This kind of makes me believe I'm just adjusting to the new kind of optic and that my groups will tighten up with trigger time, but I guess time will tell. It bothers me because today I was shooting from a bench and sighting it in, I was shooting like I was going for precision with my Remington 700 and the groups were still terrible.

It may be my ammo, I was switching between Israeli xm193 and Tula. Oh well I'll just take it out again soon with some better stuff.

>>30170102
I was shooting American Eagle 55 grain

>>30170092
ooh this may be related to it. I do have a slight astigmatism and wear contact lenses daily. Do the dots appear distorted to you, or does it still look like a round point?

I literally get better groups with my PA 4x than I do with my 12x cranked up to full mag.

hi /arg/

I don't frequent this thread but wanted to share this pic with y'all.

The AR is not her's or mine, it's her friend's. I don't know much about it except that it's a Daniel Defense has an ACOG on it, and the owner of the rifle has friends on the local SWAT team that are super jelly about it.

>>30170124
Distorted all day long. Occasionally I'll turn one on and it'll look basically right, but that's an exception to the rule.

For reference, this is how I shoot at 100 yards, with my scope set on 6x with my Remington.

Get out

>>30170134
mmh. For me when set low it still looks like a pin point. Hopefully its just my shooting and I can adjust. I bought the aimpoint used so I don't get warranty coverage.

Today was a good day.

So, maybe I'll get the Troy instead of the AR, but, shit, goodbye sopmod.

more qt pls

Bolt gun then, I take it? Ammo? That's a pretty nice group.

My accuracy is "minute of man" at best, but I only ever use mid-tier ammo at best and I don't even own a shooting sled or use a rear bag so I don't consider my groups a true representation of my guns' absolute accuracy.

Yeah, Remington 700 CDL in .25-06; with Bausch and Lomb Elite 3000 3-9x50. As for ammo, it was either Remington core lokt (walmart special) or possibly the american flag boxed Hornady.

She can't possibly be aiming that thing right, knowing the eye relief of the ACOG.

Urgh.

I can get that damn Troy, but all I want now is neato geissele handguard raifu.

>>30169096
nice. maybe run some paint lines across the suppressor and paint the flashlight.

>>30170225
do yuropoors not have coins?

the stock acog mount has big slots in the thumbscrews

>>30170225
>not understanding the point of BUIS
If you need them, whether or not your optic has QD is irrelevant because it will be shrek'd anyway. Thumb screws? Time to pull the leatherman out of your plate carrier and do a battlefield detach before you get ded.

It's a M4V11 in bronze cerakote, in desperate need of BUIS and the trash furniture being thrown away.

Thumbscrews are a sort of proto-QD my man.

It was her first time shooting a rifle with a scope, and first time shooting any rifle while standing. Previously, she had only shot my SKS while sitting. We're working on it.

>>30170171
I got u senpai

>>30169552
>yeah, that can happen when your bolt is accelerating faster than the chamber pressure is dropping
yeah i realized this later, if the chamber pressure is too high you can have shit ejection because all the energy the bolt received to reciprocate was wasted yanking out a quasi-stuck case which would make it eject weakly.

a heavier buffer would keep the bolt up against the cartridge longer, just long enough to let the pressure drop enough to where it can get more power to cycle.

how right am i? did i figure it out?

>>30169632
i'm not the one you're arguing with but, you're wrong about variable 1x-Xx scopes behaving just like a red dot. there is an eyebox on any variable scope and there isn't on red dots.

in other words it's still more restrictive as far as head movement goes. you have to treat a 1x-Xx scope just like a 42x scope as far as how you position your cranium.

with a red dot, if you can see the dot you are golden. there is no eye relief, there is no eyebox (or the horrible vignetting that occurs when you're no longer within it)

>>30170260
I do realise as I have BUIS on both of the ARs.

But still. BUIS are useful with QD optics. Without it, not so much.

>>30170286
Well why on earth is she wearing the kind of shirt professional 3-gunners wear, all covered in sponsors and whatnot? Obviously decked out in that people are going to bring a higher set of expectations to the table.

>>30170286
niice

>>30170290
yes

i had a crazy overgassed 7'' barrel
the ejector would slip off the rims quite regularly

ideally you want the cases to eject straight out perpendicular from the port, or a little behind
if cases are bouncing off the case deflector forward of the port it's overgassed

>>30170324
Depends on the optic. With red dots, you can use the BUIS straight through the optic, eliminating the need to detach the optic at all. I can and do practice with my BUIS like that sometimes.

Yeah. Proto-QD. I've tried them. They're not great at being QD.

Also dad's raifu is getting a TA02 next week.

>>30170347
Weirdly, I had a super-overgassed 20" barrel, and even though the thing felt like a .308 to shoot, and blew brass like 30' ahead of the firing line, I never had an issue with it destroying brass and causing malfunctions.

Must be a short gas system problem.

And it's called co-witness, yeah, I'm aware. I happen to have them set up like that, so...

But still, with a fixed magnified glass with eye relief, meh.

>>30170340
>random logos from companies totally unrelated to guns
Yup, 3-gun is the only sport with sponsors, no other events could possibly have shirts with sponsors' logos.

>>30170376
it depends on a lot of things

the cheapest quickest way to fix ejection issues is to put an o-ring in the ejector
but that isn't doing anything about your gun literally beating itself to death over time
your bolt lugs are being stressed quite a bit

>>30166150

>not using the dot matrix on your mags

you faggots do know what that's for, right?

>>30170414
>thinking most people are going to care what the sponsors are
It's sponsors, a shirt covered in them, a sponsor shirt. It invites judgement of whatever you are doing while wearing it, regardless.

It's a Red Bull Formula 1 shirt. She loves guns, Formula 1, and is a RN.
Yes, my dick is constantly on the verge of exploding.

>>30170344
Fanx brah. Have another. Less flattering, but it was her first time with a shotgun.

>>30170417
Yeah I've long since fixed that problem, turns out the barrel simply had a massively overdrilled gas port, and the gas block I was using was also drilled out generously, which obviously resulted in a fuckton of gas.

At the time I was using an upper receiver/bcg combo that had extremely tight tolerances to counteract the gas effect, and it worked somewhat.

Eventually replaced the gas block though and everything's been jolly ever since.

>>30170434
>If I wear a marathon shirt with sponsor logos on it, then that invites judgment of my shooting form
yup makes 100% sense high quality logic
