Built my new upper last night.

Tell me how much you hate it.

Bought the Ballistic Advantage barrel and the Aero Precision handguard from a website I've never heard of before, Granite Ridge Outfitters. Had free shipping and they were both cheaper than any similar website.

I've never heard of Ballistic Advantage before, but was told they're pretty reputable. Any thoughts?

>>30295547

NOPE.

talked to their customer support on the 6th and 13th both times they said "were gonna ship it out within 24 hrs and send it 3-day shipping"

I got this as a gift, I think it is about 6 years old.

I know next to nothing about AR's so heres my question.

It has a 20" barrel on it, can I just buy a shorter upper assembly for it? I already have plinking guns and rifles, looking for this to have more of a typical AR role.

>>30295713
lmao call em again

>>30295740
rightfully so, that shits ugly

>>30295741
You could just buy a shorter barrel.

Or you could buy a new complete upper and have a regular 16" upper AND a 20" upper.

People talk shit about the 20" but it's a perfectly capable length. When the rifle. Was originally designed it was designed with that length.

>>30295740
>Everyone gave me shit when I built it a couple years back.
As well they should have.

>>30295756

That's the plan. I've been pretty polite about it so far, I guess today I have to be an asshole.

>>30295741
Yea, i'd just sell that upper, and get a 14.6 or 16 with a different optic.
Your lower is good the way it is.

>saving me this much money on a haND guard

What a bro.

Do you guys recommend the full top rail or not and why? I'd rather have it and not need it than the other way around. Also I think spending money on the small rail sections might make up the cost.

Thanks. So I can just buy any length upper assy and swap them no worries?

I like the 20" dont get me wrong it is very accurate, just looking for another "role"

Can you guys recommend me some good upper manufacturers? Dont mind dropping some cash (nothing obscene) on quailty.

>>30295851
Yea, BCM's CFH uppers are awesome, and the value is good too.

>>30295851
>>30295875

>>30295842
You don't really need a full length top rail if you have MLOK
Most of the time you can get mlok mounts rather than rail sections for lights and stuff

>>30295839
It's actually quite tasteless and stupid, but you are obviously lacking in taste so I won't hold it against you.

>>30295842
I did read that the one with the full length rail up top is actually lighter. Something about how they had to increase the thickness of the metal to provide the same strength for all the MLOK slots on the new one. It's only a matter of a few ounces, and it's only hearsay, I didn't do the actual research, but maybe keep that in mind.

I bought the railless version because of the clean looks.

>>30295994
What makes it a "pistol" lower? I have an aero precision stripped lower which I plan to build. I've built 5 ars in the past, but only rifle length.

>>30296049
A pistol brace like the shockwave or sig

>>30296074
I'm asking more along the lines of making it function well, is there a pistol weight buffer or buffer spring

>>30296049
put a buffer tube on it with no stock and ya have a pistol, once you put a stock in it its a rifle. I believe you can go pistol -rifle - pistol but not rifle - pistol. anyone correct me if I'm wrong pls bb

imo get a shockwave blade

>>30296081
You use carbine buffers and springs with it, so no

Are there still any of those stolen front sights available and where?

>herp derp ship in 24 hrs expidited

spiel

Hey guys, how should I go about zeroing my ar15 at 100 yards with irons? Total newbie here.

Can anyone give me a suggestion on a decent rifle?
I was in the Marine Corps, while in I carried an M4 as an nco, an m16 as a junior marine and an m249 saw as a boot. Outside of those and a few other marine corps related weapons I have no gun knowledge. I was thinking of getting an m4 because I'm familiar and they are a decent price, but I'd like any suggestion for a better choice.

36KB, 551x181px

just bought everything i need for an m16 look alike. still can't decide if i want to get the m320heat shield and nigger rig it for that aesthetic

>>30296172
Adjust sights to mechanical zero. Shoot three shots at target. Note position of impact relative to point of aim. Adjust sights accordingly. Repeat as necessary

>>30296172

I typically zero at 50, mostly for windage, then step out to 100 and fine tune it.

I'm a big fan of the 50 yard zero tho, 50 zero = 200 zero. You'll shoot about 1.5 inches high at 100 yards with that zero, which isn't too bad.

>>30296178

I'm a big fan of the a1 builds

>>30296172
Zero it at 50 instead. It's less than 2 inches high at 100, and on at 200.

>>30296178
You could make an exact replica of an M4 if you wanted.
Is that something you'd be interested in?

>>30296156
Ask for a bunch of swag

>>30296202
Well again, I don't have any knowledge outside of the use of a rifle in the Marine corps. If an m4 is a decent choice I would be the most comfortable with getting one now because at least I know how proper maintenance with them. I just assumed since we had them in the Marine Corps they wouldn't be the best choice to own.

I found a gun store near me that have m4some ranging from 650 to 3200. I just would have no idea what brand or anything to go with.

>>30296172
>Irons at 100
Have fun with that.

I opted for 50y zero, as you're only an inch high at 100, dead on at 200, and 4" or so low at 300. Really damn versatile, and I dig the trajectory overlap.

I have, just built one with the upper and lower brownells is offering.

I'm not sure what those guys or doing (or maybe what I am doing) but the sound I heard when I first pulled back the charging handle was horrendous. I feel like theyre cutting corners.

I do like the anodized finish though

>>30296252
No, an M4 clone isn't going to be the fanciest rifle, but it obviously works well enough for the entire military.
As you know it matters more who the shooter is
You can't really get caught up on brands, because most things over a certain price range are usually going to work great.

>>30296287
It seems like you could

Don't get too attached, now you have to send it off to get refinished to a proper A1 gray instead of the retarded A2 black they chose for some reason.

>>30296366
I don't know if you'd want to spend this much, but here is an accurate top half of a military M4 with all the right brands and parts.
And remember that you have to weld the flash hider if the barrel length is 14.5" like a real M4.

>>30296384
I'm at a loss for words. You'd think that with such a niche part they would take the time to prevent these things. Mine seems to be doing alright, except for some short stroking with the russian stuff that I'm trying to fix

I take it I'll need to strip the upper and lower before I send it to get refinished?

Brownells is incompetent as all fuck, thay wouldn't even put up the scathing I review I submitted for their A1 upper because after calling me over it and hearing that I fixed the problem by drilling out the dust cover rod holes, they said "Oh, so you're satisfied with the purchase now?" and left it at that. I don't know what happened to them.
>except for some short stroking with the russian stuff
That stuff is persistently underpowered, especially if you're using Tulammo. Try switching to Wolf Gold, it's less than 10 cents more and you get much better ammo, complete with brass case.

>I take it I'll need to strip the upper and lower before I send it to get refinished?
Yeah, but it'll be worth it. Send them to John Norrell, ask for them to be redone in Grayish-Black Flat.

Looking back on it, I wouldnt have purchased from brownells. In addition to the scraping, they fucked up the anodizing, and the hole for the rear sight screw is out of spec. I had to torque that fucker so hard to get clearance for the roll pin, I dont think I'll be able to remove it without an ez-out

>>30296465

If I spend $40 on a lower and it has some problems, I'm not too bothered. When you charge $150 each for an upper and lower with cosmetic issues and functional problems, I'm a little miffed

>>30296541
>>>30296491
>Looking back, I wouldnt have bought it.
>In addition to the scraping (which worked itself out after 100 rounds) they fucked up the anodizing near the rear sight. Its covered up by the rear sight drum, but they also fucked up drilling the hole. I had to torque the sight screw so hard to get enough clearance to put the roll pin in, I dont think I can get it out without an ez-out.
>>>30296465
>What really pisses me off is how much theyre charging vs. the quality of the part. If I buy a $40 stripped lower and it has some finish problems, it doesnt really bother me. But when I spend $150 dollars EACH on the upper and lower (more now because I have to get it refinished) and it has major flaws, I'm a little miffed.

>>30296536

I had to do a retarded amount of work to get my Colt optic to seat in the upper sight channel. It just dropped in nicely in my old surplus upper, but the Brownell's NDS I had to fucking shave and recoating the channels in order for the optic to seat properly. I think they're getting NDS' rejects.

>I'm a little miffed
You should have been here when I realized the dust cover rod channels weren't drilled out. This was after a series of ordeals that happened as follows;
>Order upper from Brownell's
>Remember that I'm having Norrell refinish it immediately, ask if they can change the shipping address to his company
>"Lol sorry, we're using UPSMI, no can do!"
>"You're using the absolute worst shipping service in the US?"
>Upper finally shows up after over a -week-, two days late.
>Get that shit sent over to Norrell's.
>Norrell takes longer than usual, finally get it about 10 days later.
Only then, after installing the rearsight assembly, FA, and barrel do I realize I can't even insert the dust cover rod. Salty doesn't begin to describe it.

Oh they offered to, but I'm not paying another $80 and waiting two more weeks for my shit to get back.

You could still get the upper from them, I'd just check it over right after getting it.

you can just remove it m8

Its two taper pins and they're usually in there pretty good. You will most likely need a .750 lo pro gas block. The .750 is the DIA of your barrel. I just did a SW conversion to a FF rail and lo pro gas block. Not hard at all.

>>30297184

Not really interested in selling them. They do what I built them to do, and they do it very well.

I just like the idea of clone rifles.

They SAY they dont, but the B they mark on the blem lowers looks almost identical to the one they put on the Brownells upper.

Better question would be if the Brownells lowers have a B mark too. Then we would know for sure that they are truly blems.

I'm sure Brownells doesnt mind selling every last piece they crank out, be it quality or shit.

Other than being Chinese produced, and not having the battery life of an aimpoint (which what the hell else is going to have a battery life that will approach the heat death of the universe like an aimpoint will anyways?) what's the issue with vortex?

The front sight will move further off center and blur out until it disappears from your field of view as magnification increases. The wider the field of view your chosen scope has the more magnification it will take to look past it.

This is a picture with a 1-4 Leupold which is in line with many tube style scopes. Prism style like an ACOG tend to have a wider field of view where more of the post is present at 4x.

>>30297435

That's also true. I'm just a huge fan of fixed magnification "combat" optics.

Not to say variables aren't good too, but different strokes for different folks.

What's the general consensus on the MRO, now that it's been on the market for a while? $250 cheaper than a T2 makes it a tempting option.

>>30299747
not my rifle, so I got no clue.

>>30299751
Less tried and true than the t2 but whenever I went and messed with one it seemed solid. Buy it and let us know.

that's a mil gun, 3rd pin hole.

That is one of the old Redi-mag bolt catch extensions. The Redi-mag itself is just not installed in that picture in favor of the Arredondo magwell.

Picture is a BFG modified "Redi-mod" but you get the idea.

Fun gun for .380, but you can probably find one in better shape for $300

>>30299846
gezus christ how do you lock the bolt back on those?

i remember travis haley shilling for these redimags back in the day...

what's modded about that?

Should I buy this?

>>30299875
Think of how the bolt catch pivots, you just push the tab down to engage the catch and up to disengage.

The idea is that as you swap mags from bolt lock you just keep your thumb pointed up along the receiver and bam you insert the mag and send the bolt forward in a single motion.

>>30299901

No reason not to.

They're good for the money. Not a true 1x, so if that bothers you look into a micro.

Im pretty sure the brownells just buys Nodaks fuck ups and resells them. I bought my upper/lower seperate from Nadak and everything fits tight.

How the fuck do you forget to do that, jesus I hope they fixed it for you

>>30299914

>Im pretty sure the brownells just buys Nodaks fuck ups and resells them
I think there's little chance that there's any other explanation, the rep I talked to was swearing up and down that that was not normal but I can put two and two together.
>Clearly unfinished
>Marred milling
>Every single one finished in A2 black
These kikes are buying NDS' fuckups that were left uncompleted as a result, (mostly) completing the work, and then finishing them with a standard anodization process.
> I hope they fixed it for you
They offered to send me another if I returned the one I had, but I was not about to spend nearly $100 more to have the replacement refinished and endure that shipping and waiting nightmare I had just gone through. Brownells is fucking dead to me.

>>30300078
Nodak offers their shit in black too, I doubt Brownell even touches them after receiving.

>>30300093
Yeah, but why refinish every single retro upper and lower you have in A2 black? I'm thinking that's what Brownell's has, so that's what's used.

>Want to make a AR in 7.62x39
>NO one sells strips lowers

>>30300093
Nodak always has blems after a run so I almost guarentee Borwnells has been buying them.
Nodak's reputation is well deserved, both the quality and the waiting so I doubt they would ship out a shitty product like that.

>>30300227
>Want to make a AR in 7.62x39
Fucking why?

>>30300078
What kind of barrel did you use for that build?

>>30300165
Contract run, a2 black is probably cheaper to use.

I'm speculating from a vendors point of mind, Brownells doesn't care if they have a %5 return rate on uppers/lowers because it probably won't ever get that high, because most won't return them anyway.

>>30300332
ALSO, to add to this, the phone would ring off the hook from retards who think their upper isn't finished right because it doesnt match their mp15 sport lower.

>>30300332
>Contract run
I would believe that if we weren't seeing a startling number of defects cropping up, NDS is renowned for being perfectionists, and I can tell you my upper was like something Century shat out in 2003. From what I'm seeing, this has all the markings of Brownell's buying up blems from NDS.

>>30300446
I agree, but even for blems, yours was unbelievably shoddy.

This could be a case of a small company getting in over their head too. Guess we will know when the next batch goes out.

PSA has an 18" upper for like $250, and I've been itching to build a rifle length AR for a while now

Only things I'm not sure of on it are that it's a stainless barrel (I'm not particularly interested in super precise bench-rest shooting) and that it's got a .223 wylde chamber (which I know fuck-all about)

Still. $250, the next cheapest rifle-length upper I can find is $100 more than that. Yea or Nay?

Called up Daniel Defense and a rep told me even as a dealer we probably won't see individual barrels until sometime around October (just his speculation). Hit up GunBroker and 315 dollars later my barrel should be over here by the end of the week

Plan on getting an AR but all the decent inexpensive ones are sold out errywhere.
Can anybody recommend a good completed lower,?
Is this one any good?

>>30300802
You can't really fuck up when it comes to lowers, unless you get a polymer one (some people will argue otherwise). That one's fine, but if you look or wait a bit, PSA usually has sales so you could save a bit.

>>30300825
Gotcha, thanks m8. Will look around a bit more.
