AR confessions: I actually like the aesthetics of non-shit tier quadrails
>>30179806
Why'd you decide to go with BCM marked upper receiver and BCG on that build?
>>30179819
dd quad rails are the only exception for me. they feel great
>>30179784
My kind of thread
>>30179834
because socom
might as well get another upper and BCG

You said urx 4 mlok and my budget went into the trash... i don't know if i can even be mad
i just have to decide 14.5 stealth barrel vs 16 predatar
not too aesthetic of a rifle but this picture is fucking aesthetic as hell
>>30179784

Yes. The router is actually built for side loading- while drill presses are not. In an HS shop class a few years back, I saw someone sideload a drillpress on oak, and they sent the chuck flying (it ended up denting and chipping a 2x4 in the back of the room).
While this probably wont happen to you, it can; and even if it doesnt, it's bad for the drillpress, and its bearings. You should take care of your tools. Plus, you can buy a decent router on craigslist for like 30-40 bucks.
>>30179784
What do you guys think of the ALG Defense ACT trigger? Thinking about getting one for my build. For the price I like it more than my Geiselle.

No, we didn't put it in anything other than a 25lb chlorine bucket, minimal shrapnel, and stood about 150 yards back. Sheriffs department paid me a visit though, along with the fire department

I really can't tell the difference between the ACT and a standard milspec. Maybe a bit smoother, but that could be psychological.

>>30180105
BFG Vickers Padded and Vickers Cobra are the only options
>>30180084
I could. The ACT seemed more consistent. The regular one felt just like the ACT 3/4 of the time, but that 1/4 it had some creep to it. The ACT is only $20 more.

>>30180826
It's pretty nice. Better eye relief than the TA31 at the price of less magnification, but in my opinion I prefer x3 to x4. I've taken it out as far as 400-500m and it's held up pretty damn well at that range. If I had the choice between a TA31 and a TA33, I'd probably go with the TA33 all over again.

Why the extended mag release? If anything is going to help you reload faster, it's a magwell or a bigger bolt catch paddle. In my opinion the AR mag release is almost too easy to hit.

I need to go a bit more Gucci, like getting a Bobro mount for the TA02. I also need to swap out the flash hider for a SilencerCo one once my Saker is out of NFA jail.
But thanks. I try to make my rifles aesthetic and functional. Even the lightweight build I'm doing right now.
govt. profile barrels. buy or avoid them?

not sure tho.

Pistols yes no?
In the last /arg/ an anon told me to not use green tips at the range but I never got a reason. Was he just fucking with me or is there an actual reason to avoid using green tipped ammo at my range?
>>30181136
>those drainage pipes
Disgusting
>>30181157
steel core iirc. Indoor ranges it will fuck up everything in the back. Outdoor ranges...it'll fuck things up more, but i mean, it's outdoor. Wood planks are going to get fucked anyways.
>>30181136
Sure anon.
>>30181157
It's not very accurate and generally isn't plinking ammo but fugg it.
>>30180948
yes
come and play memewatch faggot
>>30181111
In my opinion I'd leave out most of the gucci shit for now. Save those thoughts for a second build. Also googled "Strike Industries 2pcs Polymer 5 Slot KeyMod Short Rail" and all I get is pic related
>>30180948
Well you got me to take the bait the
>>30180992
I think he was talking about the dead ass channel within the normal TS
>>30181157
It could potentially penetrate through indoor range walls if they are shitty.
>>30181007
That looks pretty familiar to be honest
>>30181136
>that disgusting fucking grip.
Learn to hold that shit correctly man
>>30181178
It's cheap, that makes it perfect plinking ammo
>>30181158
They get filled w dirt every time it rains
>>30181223
They are put in shitty
>>30181201
Correct grip? I was unaware I wasn't holding it correctly.
>>30181182
do you have a predatar barrel? if so would it be worth going from a 14.5 stealth to a 16 inch predatar on an upper?
>>30179819
Getting a SG 550 from that gun.
>>30181252
>>30181197 here, predaturd barrels are extremely light and judging from when I had my Burris XTR mounted on my AR for shits and gigs, very accurate. I'm putting a Burris Fastfire on this rifle though, if I'm going to have a thin barrel I might as well take advantage of the fact that it's light.
>>30181056
If you're building an M4 or A2 clone, fine. Otherwise, don't.
>>30181244
Grip it high so that the beaver tail area is making solid contact with flesh.
>>30181172
Ah well my outdoor range is firing into a hillside so I don't really worry too much about damaging it. I fire all sorts of shit into that hillside, it's pretty fucked.
>>30181381
also note anon's thumb placement is as far forward as comfortable
>>30181056
>govt. profile barrels. buy or avoid them?
Why would you buy them? Only reason I can think of is to create a clone of a military rifle. If you aren't going to use the military features though there's no reason to use a military barrel (such as under barrel attachment divet).
>>30181172
I thought it was just steel tipped and not classified as AP?
>>30181433
You're right, it's a steel tip, technically not steel core. It's also not a hardened penetrator hence its dubious AP capability. That being said some ranges don't give a fuck and will give you hard time either way.
>>30181333
fuck thats a thin ass barrel. i might not get one. how hot does it get?
>>30181381
Oh! Okay, I didn't know that, thank you. I always aim to improve my technique.

>>30181477
Pretty fugging hot, I really haven't done anything to see how fast accuracy drops off though. I went to the range today but now I have a reason to go back tomorrow.
>>30181519
Almost like it can be removed easily or something.
>>30181529
>former army ranger
rright
>>30181201
>perfect plinking ammo
It's not nearly as cheap as XM193 though, to say nothing of steelcase .223. M855 is just a stupid ammo decision all the way around these days, there are better performing rounds that are cheaper, readily available. Not a single excuse for using M855 for plinking (or anything) holds up anymore.
>>30181547
>His tactical background includes six years in special operations with the US Army’s 2nd Ranger Battalion. Serving as team leader and squad leader, he attended numerous schools relating to special operations, small unit tactics, leadership, firearms and ground fighting.
He's a well known guy. If he was bullshitting about his military service someone would have called him out a long time ago, especially considering he specified a battalion.

4u bb >>30181579
>>30181560
I generally agree but the higher velocity of M193 makes it hell on steel targets up close, whereas you can shoot steel with M855 at 25-50 yards no real problems. Or I guess you could buy a case of frang, if you buy 1000 rounds at a time it gets close to 40c per round.
Can anything newer than 2010 even be aesthetic?
>>30181545
with no loss of zero right?
>>30181763
Why do you have a rear BUIS but no front?
>>30181560
I'm the anon that was asking about the green tip ammo earlier. It was the cheapest ammo at the time so that was what I got. It was 1,000 rounds for about $200, and that's about as good as it gets around here. My town has two stores that sell ammo, one is a gun shop that sells lower volumes and generally charges more, and the other is a department store called Bi-Mart. That's where I usually go to get ammo since they have better deals.
>>30181763
ugly md, irons, stock, and light. Good job
>>30181663
Well, I pretty much exclusively use wolf .223 for plinking steel anyway, but I do it as close as 30 yards and don't give any fucks. It's my steel that I got on sale though, so whatever.
No real damage except for the spot where my super intelligent friend decided to shoot it with his AK pistol from 20 yards.
>>30181763
New gun owners make the worst looking ARs
>>30181794
Damn that's a hell of deal for 5.56 in general, type notwithstanding. I can't really fault you for buying it under those circumstances.
>>30181791
Newfag spotted.
>>30179784
most A E S T H E T I C one I got
>>30181829
I apologize, I don't follow AR trends too closely. Why have the light mounted so interferes with the operation of your front sight then?
>>30181846
The angle's bad but the light is offset to the side.
>>30181829
You had me fooled that's pretty neat desu
>>30181824
I'm all out of that ammo now, and this picture is literally all of the 5.56 I have now. Up until now all I've bought is basically whatever is cheapest, but now that I have a brand new BCG and upper I want to fire ammo that isn't trash, but still cheap.
What do you guys recommend for close range target ammo for going to my outdoor range and plinking? They have no ammo restrictions aside from explosive or incendiary.
>>30181887
Wolf
>>30181846
90% sure there's an iron sight on the top rail behind the light.
>>30181846
It doesn't interfere.
>>30181887
unless youre shooting fro groups, whatever is the cheapest brass case.
>>30181586
Thanks man, I was planning on putting a 13 in KMR on it but I think I may do something else. That way I'm not same fagging when it comes to the riflle.
Guess I'm done spending money on it for now, maybe.
Also I had to compress this on my phone so I hope it doesn't have ass quality.
>>30181953
Other than a light if that interests you, solid build.
Would recommend a QD mount for your optic if you plan on using your BUIS in the event of an optic failure.
>>30181904
just don't do it with the laser ones

You have no fucking clue how pissed off I am about the fact that KAC decided to remove that feature from the URX 3.1. To this day I do not understand why they ever discontinued the 3.0, as everything about the 3.0 seems a whole lot better to me.

223 get
>>30182275
It's a green horseshoe. The furthest out I've shot is somewhere between 400-500m and it's easy shooting man-shaped steel targets at that distance. You're not going to be ringing a dueling tree at that distance (at least not very well, maybe 3/5ths of my shots landed on a dueling tree plate at that distance), but it'll work fine on properly sized targets.
>>30182296

Are you hickok45 or something?
>>30182228

Just an FYI the line is brake the bread that is his body and drink the wine. In it's original was a poetic way of saying crucify and kill him. It was literally meant to say every time you get together and eat you should remember that someone has paid the ultimate price so you can be forgiven. So that what ever bad thing you have done you can still move forward and do good things. Hebrew and English don't translate well.

adherents literally view the wine and crackers as the blood and flesh of Jesus after the priest does his voodoo chant to it, which is why traditionally people receiving communion are not allowed to touch it. If it falls on the floor they have to go through a big ordeal to clean the floor and reclaim the cracker.
To be a devout Christian is to believe that you are eating Jesus.

This came up in another thread and I would like to ask it here. Been a pistol shooter for years, recently purchased an AR. Note I did tear down and clean the shit out of it before and after this happened and it happened consistently.
Went to the range. Noticed that if I chambered a round and then ejected it, there is a noticeable dent in the primer. To me, it does not appear to be inflicted by ejection. To me, the primer looks like it was impacted lightly by the firing pin.
I have friends who are gunsmiths, also ex combat arms dudes, lots of AR enthusiasts. The jury is split between the people I have asked. Some AR guys were confused by what I told them, and said "doesn't happen in my AR." Several people told this does not happen in a quality AR that is properly maintained. Some people said that it is normal for ARs.
Being totally new to ARs I was alarmed that there was any contact between the firing pin and the primer without my pulling the trigger. What is /arg/'s verdict?
>>30182706
I don't think he has an ar
Asking again:
Slowly but slowly putting my kit together. 3000 rounds of Armscor hit the doorstep the morning.
A few questions: Should I wait to buy more parts around the 4th of july - are there decent sales then? (IE does the SSA-E drop to $180 like it does on memorial day?)
Also, where's a decent place to pick up a toolcraft BCG?
>>30182752
I've never ever seen that before.
What brand gun?
What ammo?
What brand BCG?
Was it sometimes or every time?
Did you put the little pin for the firing pin in correctly?
Pictures?
>>30182752
it happens with free floating firing pins
>>30182775
I'd wait until the 4th
>>30182752
Does it look like this
>>30182752
Perfectly normal
>>30182803
this is a headspacing issue. Take it to an actual gunsmith, seriously.
>>30182779
S&W M&P15 Sport, every kind of ammo I fed it, every single round I chambered. Kept cleaning everything to make sure the firing pin was floating freely, and it was.
No longer have pictures, happened a while back. Sold the piece of shit immediately to gunsmith friend and vowed that to be my first and last purchase of a S&W firearm.
>>30182785
Don't all ARs have free floating firing pins? I really don't know a lot about ARs, sorry.
>>30182803
That's a terrible photo I can't see shit. Try to re-focus.
>>30182806
See this is where the confusion comes in, some guys say its totally normal and others say what the fuck
>>30182818
Better picture
>>30182817
Don't listen to this retard, that happens on all AR's.
>>30182817
See this guy fuels my concern
>>30182832
Yes, if I recall that's what it looked like. Scared the shit out of me, why would there be a big fucking ding smack dab in the middle of my primer? Shit could go off.
>>30182837
i know
>>30182817
no
>>30182818
Wow, I'm sorry that happened with S&W. My M&P 15 has never ever done that.
Shit, I'll go chamber the same round 15 times over just to make the point.
So, most of you are telling me that by design, this is normal for an AR and it is safe? Really, what the fuck. Why are others adamant that this is not right? Present your case.
>>30182247
What are you going to do about your MAMS?
>>30182818
>Don't all ARs have free floating firing pins?
They do, when you chamber a round the inertia of the bcg moving forward under spring pressure causes the firing pin to move forward when the bcg stops moving. Live only having one tennis ball in the tube and jerking the tube forward: the ball will stay to the rear until the tube jerks to a stop, the the ball flies forward. At no point does the hammer ever come up or contact the firing pin, so everything is a-ok with your gun. Although some folks retire rounds after a few dents, say 5.
>>30182752
>When the same cartridge is repeatedly chambered in the AR15, the floating firing pin lightly taps the primer; with repeated taps, the primer compound gets crushed, resulting in inadequate ignition characteristics--despite what appears to be a normal firing pin impression.
This is from https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4344-5-56-mm-Duty-Loads
AR15's have free floating firing pins (minus the HK416 which apparently doesn't). ARs aren't really drop safe either, if you slam a hot AR the right way with ammo you can cause it to discharge. Not very likely at all but has happened before.
>>30182867
The potential safety issue is if the pin goes too far or hard while chambering the gun could go off and possibly KB
>>30182482
Oh don't make any mistake, I'm voting Trump. I just think /pol/ is a shithole. That and I'm growing quite weary of political discussion at the moment, other than 2nd amendment rights I typically don't engage in political discussion.

>>30182752
It's a free floating firing pin, it's normal and fine.
>>30182867
>Why are others adamant that this is not right?
They've never noticed it before The first time I saw it I was worried too but a few minutes on google showed me it's completely normal.
>>30182867
also i should add in the round becomes extremely unreliable so dont use it for defensive after this happens

>>30182850
You're obviously new. The ar15 has a floating firing pin. It slides back and forth inside the bolt carrier, when the bolt slams forward it kisses the primer
That's why you need to point the rifle in a safe direction when you chamber around . You could have what's called a slam fire which is when the floating firing pin kisses the round a little too much and fires off the casing
>>30183069

>>30182876
I've decided to wait until I get a response from KAC to take it back to the shop. I noticed that the pin is visible through the indexing hole on the bottom of the MAMS, so I'm sure that'll fuck any possibility of mounting a suppressor, but I've emailed KAC to make sure first. If it doesn't, I'll have a professional shop fix the finish and smooth out the terrible welding job and then never do anything with that shitshow of a shop again.
