I only need one 3" magnum shell and you won't get back up. Let's go

>>30269501
Having been on both the receiving end and the giving end of tracer fire, I can tell you with 100% certainty that anyone you're actively shooting at isn't going to be able to follow the tracer path back to you.

HOWEVER, a (probably) separate party off at a greater than 45* angle to the side can.

I see no reason to have tracers interspersed in a mag, and I feel like the only reason to do so at the end of a mag is negated by windowed/translucent mags (which are plentiful, quality, and inexpensive).

If you have the time to stop at the first tracer for a combat reload, you have time to turn the gun ~20* and look at your mag. If you DONT have time, you need those last 3 rounds anyway, and it's not like a full reload takes more than about 3 seconds including removing the new mag from a mag pouch.

I don't think QD is a necessity.

The Aero mount is the lightest option available anyways - and I wanted to pair the somewhat chunky Strike Eagle with the lightest mount possible.

I keep a hex key in my grip just in case anyways

Does anybody know the differences between the types of 5.56 ammo (mk262,m855,xm193,xp193,m855a1, etc) and what are the use of heavier grain ammo and lighter grain ammo for a 1/7 barrel?

Yes.
>mk262 mod 0
77gr Sierra Matchking bullet
>mk262 mod 1
77gr Sierra Matchking bullet with cannelure and crimped primer pocket
>mk262 mod 2
70gr Barnes Tac-TX with brown tip. Expanding monolithic copper hollowpoint trades about 40m max accurate range for actually expanding at its max accurate range.
>M855
62gr SS109 "light armor piercing" bullet with cannelure that actually penetrates armor worse than its predecessor, M193. Mild steel penetrator core in front half of bullet.
>M193 and clones (xm/xp193)
55gr copper jacketed lead cored bullet with cannelure
>M193 tracer
57(ish) grain tracer featuring a red phosphorus rear core/lead front core and an open rear sealed with a gilding metal cup. Designed to match the trajectory of M193 from a 20" barrel.
>M855A1
Improved version of M855, steel penetrator is somewhat harder (though still officially mild steel) and exposed. Pointier. Tends to be slightly more accurate, also higher velocity and a change to the powder used means it's less temperature sensitive.
>M856 tracer
63gr tracer featuring a very thick copper jacket and an almost entirely red phosphorus core enclosed a the base by a gilding metal cup. Designed to match the trajectory of M855/M855a1, incidentally also closely approximates the trajectory of mk318. Bullet is *absurdly* long and seated very deeply in the case.
>mk318 SOST
63gr jacketed hollowpoint of the OTM style (not designed to expand at the hollowpoint) manufactured for Federal/ATK/Lake City by Speer. Has cannelure, is intended to fragment at cannelure. Only front half of bullet is lead cored, rear half is monolithic gilding metal.

1:7 barrels will do slightly better with 62gr+ loads, but will stabilize and be combat accurate with everything ~45-80gr. The 1:7 twist rate was selected for military use because slower twist rates did poorly with the absurdly long M856 tracer.

This one is frequented by myself, nick, qb, and sigbro from time to time, but it's fairly devoid of tripfags now.

I could buy gucci shit for my AR, but I kinda want a PS90, so I think I'll do that.

>>30269818
Pre contract. Nosler Custom Comps have a much lower BC and didn't like to fragment reliably, but were very accurate.

I'm expecting mod3 to be a TMK w/ cannelure. They murder everything else for BC and fragment even more violently and at longer ranges than the SMK w/ cannelure, and I'm sure now that the wars are wound down some politico somewhere's gonna get asspained over the officially expanding mod2.

>>30269797
Whoops, typo.

Cheap pistol question. I left /k/ for a bit. Is shockwave blade about the best option for a .223 pistol, or did anything better come along?

>>30271869
Shockwave is the best

>>30271868
Sounds like you're a tad undergassed but it should get better as the rings wear oit a bit.

Chech to make sure the gas block is installed correctly and if it is, you might need to enlarge the port a bit.

>>30271892
Speaking of gas rings, I heard that the bolt is supposed to extend from the carrier with a flick of the wrist. Mine needs a little more effort to extend. Is this because of the new gas rings?

Any word on Troy Industries upper receivers? Not familiar with them, just browsing some of their products on Primary Arms.

>>30272073
It used to until i replaced them with the stock type, problem is, the new ones i bought don't fit right and the holes for the screws are off and some are missing.

I'm starting to think the vented fenders were stock and i should put those back on.

I believe the car was first purchased it Georgia and neve left the bible belt, i have the original purchase slip and didn't see vented fenders.

$110 for the custom "deep" engraving, trust info, and cerakote.

Not the best price all told, but the work was well done and turn-around was about a week at the time whereas Ident and the like were at 6+ weeks.

That was when form 1 e-files were taking ~34 days so the time frame was very attractive.

Was there anything M855 did right? Everything I've read says that it managed to be worse than M193 in every single way.

>>30274159

I've heard that it worked better for LMGs because the heavier bullet was able to retain energy for a little bit further, and the accuracy wasn't as important in 10 round bursts.

>>30274158
>What's the best AR setup that can digest shitty Russian steel case ammo. . . and maintaining barrel longevity against the bimetal rounds
Literally anything built to at least milspec with a CHF CL'd barrel. An AR that can't handle steelshit isn't an AR worth owning.
>How do your ARs handle the steel shit?
Other than having to use the FA more often than with brass, just fine.

Well just got off the phone with RSR between last night and this morning. They sold out of pmags and 90% of there stock of ar pattern rifles have been sold, he also mentioned that one of there largest wear houses is " basically empty". I don't want to say we are in a panic buy but don't expect some items to be readily available.

Was better for the SAW and really short barrels. Has a higher BC. Has an improved powder composition (m193 was super temp sensitive, dropping below 2500fps from a 20" barrel in sub-zero weather). Does a good bit better at intermediate barrier penetration, though not really by enough to matter simply due to still being 5.56.

So, it did a couple things kinda better than M193, but nothing that couldn't have been done with like an M193A1.

I've got a can in NFA jail at the moment and the dealer called me like 6 hours after the shooting and basically went "You know that 7-9 month wait I told you you were looking at due to 41F? Yeah, triple it now. Want me to cancel the order?"

Sad thing is, if we could figure out an accurate and reliable field sobriety test (like alcohol) I'd have zero issue with it. But as it stands, there are methods of consuming cannabinoids that render a person impaired that aren't readily traceable, and when actual cannabis is smoked/vaporized/eaten every marker or easily identifiable trace of it persists long after the impairment has ended.

Though I do think the people that buy into "weed culture" should all die in a train wreck. They're insufferable assholes even when sober.

Here is a hint, this is his first summer after starting college.

Srsly. Oldfag needs to see something that still works.

>>30276762
kek no, I'm 19

>>30276765
Refer to above

>>30276787
That depends. How autistic are you and how much spaghetti do you carry in your pockets?

working on babby's first build here.

Is it normal for a mag catch to be really sticky? When I push the mag release button it just kinda sticks like the catch is rotating rather than just moving out. Do I just need to lube up?

>>30276755
Dude im gona level with you, i just strum on it while listening to music in my basement

>>30276802

None. I was very clearly spoken and direct. My autism got shoa'd when I got a job working outdoors.

The NFA is never gonna get repealed. It's just gonna shut down forever.

>>30276835
Should be fine then.

>>30276824
I have no idea what you're asking but the mag catch is the easiest part of the whole build, so you best figure it out yourself because it only gets harder from here

>>30276880
The mag catch was getting caught up in the receiver. I decided to stop being retarded and sprayed a little clp on it and it's working fine now.

>>30276892
Something's still wrong if it was binding at all. It should work flawlessly even when bone dry.

How far did you screw it in?

>>30276830
>i just strum on it while listening to music in my basement
same here

>>30276907
The threads are flush with the top of the mag catch button.

I tried it in two lowers and it was sticky in both. The part might just be a tiny bit out of spec or something but it's having no issues now that I put a few molecules of clp on it, and I went back, wiped that off and it's still working.

Question for the tripfags of /arg/:
>what do you think of having the right-side lever of an ambi safety reversed so it operates AK-style?
Pic related. Super comfy but not sure if this'll fuck me later.

Pricing a sig pistol at lgs.

Fathers day flier out. Anderson lowers for $60

Have 2 ar rifles. (400blk sbr, 18" dmr-ish)
1 built lower waiting on parts to be a cmp gun. (custom barrel and bolt taking longer than expected)

Decide , fuckit that price is too good.


Did i panic buy?

What should i build? Another sbr? A 16" , a light weight? Somthing in 6.8 or 6.5?

Help me arg your my only hope

>>30276935
Alright. It probably had a small burr from machining on it that you wore off.

>>30276830
What song you gonna record playing along with?

>>30276916
You're now included in this mess too. What song you gonna record strumming along to?

>>30276957
You have my attention

>>30276979
It's an AXTS 45* selector in a compatible lower (MOA LLC).

It's pretty fuggin' comfy.

>>30276962
5.56 SBR is only correct answer.

>>30276998
Or just buy an sbr upper for the other sbr.

>>30276957
I use my trigger finger to re-engage my ambi-safeties by coming out of the trigger guard and sweeping rearward, I don't see coming out, up, then down being any easier than out and to the rear.

>>30277011
But then you still only have 1 SBR.

>>30277018
That's retarded

>>30277018
I can see that being an issue with 60* or 90* selectors, but pic related with this one.

Basically, thumb to take it off safe, index finger to re-safe it.

>>30276523
Can these still explode in my face?

New thread?

look at this spider I found in my bulked

>>30277289
Torch it

>>30277028

Sbr is an idea...

Or should i build a light weight 16"

>>30276957

I'm used to a rearward sweeping motion to engage the safety from both the CZ 805 and the EVO, and if there's something I hate, it's using two different manuals of arms at the same time. One of the reasons I dropped the P99 for a G19.

>>30277343
IMO if you're not gonna do another SBR, a LW 14.5 w/ a pinned MD is better than a LW 16".

I bet he'll be your friend if you serenade him with some guitar, but he'll only be pleased if you record that serenading and post it for me.

>>30274077
I'd hit it
