AR THREAD GENERAL AR GENERAL /ARG/

Wow that's an impractical and poor use of space

I just bought my first AR. Having been an AK guy for many years, I'll admit I know jack shit about ARs.

Should I get a 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point sling? I'd prefer to have something that's comfortable for long hikes innawoods

I bought a mag tactical lower for cheap. $25 on the spot. I didn't know anything about them. However I've recently read some bad things about them. So now I'm just going to save it for a rainy day and get another lower.

What's the sexiest stripped lower in /arg/s opinion. I'm really liking the BAD forged.

They make good shit but are highly overpriced. They are known for their race gun components.

>>30409874

Top Sexy is the KAC lowers but they don't sell them stripped. Second in line is Noveske or the vaporware UCWRG lowers.

For the common man? Aero or Rainier.

Coincidentally while I was outside doing this one of my neighbors came outside. She was wearing her bikini because she was about to sunbathe. She hollered hello and we exchanged pleasantries, talked about the nice weather, and she asked what I was painting, I replied that it was just some metal parts for a project. She said "cool" and then sprawled out. Then I finished painting my rifle while watching her sunbathe like a creep.

Today was a good day.

Yeah but the real key dimension is the depth of the part that interfaces with the upper receiver rather than the exact dimensions of the tabs on the rail (see pic, me trying to figure it out)

Sperging out a little bit on this but want to make sure I've done my homework.

This was a custom short run billet upper so there's no way to look up previous ppl's experiences

$800-$1000 budget on just the rifle itself. What would y'all build?

i understand what you're saying, you need to measure your receiver and get him to measure the distance between the tabs.

i'm fairly certain the tabs interface with the part i pointed out. in case you dont know i mean

Can you measure the distance between the tabs homie?

My upper is 0.9" wide there.

>>30411043
That's over budget because you have to get a BCG, and a CH plus shipping and FFL fees.
The standard, non CHF upper should be in budget

>>30411128

Exactly 1 inch is the distance between tabs.

>>30411100
do you not understand he needs to know the distance between the two tabs? the dimensions of the tabs themselves does not help him because he doesn't know the overall rail size which would impact the distance between those two tabs.

Hey he was just looking for the tab dimensions earlier. That would have been easier to just measure their from the get go.

>>30411306
yeah but then he posted his receiver dimension 0.9

basically a statement that if the tabs are closer together than 0.9 it wont fit on his upper.

so at this point that dimension takes priority. i wasn't even being a dick, just tellin him to pull all that shit out again since the guy asking for the dimensions is so close to figuring out whether or not the rail will fit his upper and the guy WITH the rail is like "welp sorry i put it all away"

>>30411279
my initial impressions (photo fix guy) is that you will be good to go. if i were you i'd get the rail before you finish that upper. taht way if you have to hack on shit, you could theoretically hack on the upper if you wanted to...

How does the ALG rail compare to the Geissele ones?

Toyota to Lexus?

>>30411279

You should be fine. I can triple check but you would have to assure me of victory in the GE.

>>30411336
geo metro to ferarri f12 berlinetta

>>30411336
My understanding is that ALG is literally a sister company to guys-lee

I don't know much about the geissele rails but the ALG's hold up pretty good. They get hated on here for irrelevant emotional and opinion based reasons with 0 quality or function complaints.

They are strong and I like the way the look so I'll buy that

Thanks guys. Seriously I want this to be a science build, even if it takes longer to build I'd rather "measure a thousand times and cut once."

In terms of the general, look at how Farage fared against media attacks and expectations, then look at me. Back to media attacks, now back to me.

>>30411336

Different applications. ALG is for 3 gun and poorfags and Geissele is for 'hard use' and GUCCI fags.

>>30411350

yea he let her have a company. how nice of him. too bad he uses it as a way to sell the shittier products. his wife is probably like "gee thanks i'm the shit outlet for geissele"

just placed an order for one of these to replace my quad rail

>>30411360

yeah you're good. just had a D'OH moment. The Geissele barrel nut pretty much assures that the rail would fit on your upper. The nut is wider that that section of upper anyhow. As long as you can fit on the lower section of the tab, which you do by being .9" there, you're golden.

>>30411438

Are their rails good quality? Was looking at buying from them, I really like their designs.

Anyone own them that can verify?

>>30411438

yeah, there seems to be a lot of variation in ddc, from dark choco to light bronze color.

and i found a pic of my mk2 rail, i got it when they just came out.
funny thing about geissele rails, it seems like every few months, they would come out with some minor change. like one month, there would be new cutouts, or qd cups, or different screws, etc.. I think they have it all down now though.

>>30411883
>I mean, if I for some reason had to torture my AR for some reason and wanted to be sure it was gtg, id use that rail

i'm not saying it isn't strong, i am not familiar with the design enough to know. just saying the geissele barrel nut is really supportive. it extends the interior support, effectively shortening the "lever" of the rail

Nah, he's black

>>30412184
Do you think the DDC geissele rail color on the top gun in
>>30411821
matches the color of magpul FDE furniture?

aero upper receiver, aero midlength 16" CMV, aero enhanced rail, aero UPK, A2 birdcage

i ordered all the parts when they were running 15% for memorial day. they also ended up giving me 10% off on top of what i paid because they basically lost my order for weeks but still, it would have only then been about a $700 rifle without optic or BCG. still pretty cheap for the quality of parts

>>30412207
Oh, well for one, each batch is different on the Geissele rails.
I'm looking at mine next to a Pmag in a relatively low-lit room, and it looks the same.
It looks different and reflects differently in different light because it's anodized aluminum and not molded polymer.

>>30412230
you did good

>>30412062
Utg mount for trs 25. I want to try the new "super slim" model. I hated the spring assisted screw mount that most people have.

>>30412030
No matter what it's more like $450 once you add shipping and a back up sight. PSA had a slick side PTAC kit for something crazy like $330 shipped. They sold out in a day.

Anyways, I'd recommend shooting for $550. In that price range you can get chrome lining and quality parts if you play your cards right with free shipping and sales. Good luck dude

I hope this years 4th of July sales arn't fucked over by the mini panic we had.

>mfw I won't be able to avoid paying full price for every component in my next build

It was to be my Jew Rifle.

>>30412260

thanks m8. it also only weighs 6.6 lbs unloaded in its current configuration. crazy.

>>30412261
0.83" for absolute and 1" for lower 1/3

I feel this. I should've bought that PSA magpul chrome lined carbine kit for $429 shipped on Father's day. I was holding out for the 4th and now I'll probably pay $100 more and no free shipping.

>>30412318

unless you're Bobro in which case absolute is absolute, lower 1/3 is actually just sightly higher, and 'high' puts you at true lower 1/3

because reasons

Hit another snag with stag lpk.

Trigger doesn't seem to want to clear the safety bar, even without the spring.

What the hell is wrong with this thing? I though the trigger can always go in after the safety.

>>30412384

I've had trouble getting triggers in after safety bar before.

>>30412384
Try it with the safety out :^)

>>30412402
ditto. generally, i just take the safety out if i cant get it in right away.

Opinions on the Streamlight Protac rail? I know it isn't as gucci as an M300, but for 1/3rd the price including the tape switch, and compatibility with 300 body style mounts is awfully tempting.

>>30412230
Wow, a 20-something year old girl without a neck tattoo.

Thanks based anon.

my advice is to save your shekels for a SF

>>30412384
Put the trigger in first. Are you retarded?

>>30412450
Their warranty's great. Be our Guinea pig

>>30412450
probably fine, streamlight makes good stuff

>>30412450
>made in china
not saying everything chink is shit but thats what pushed me away from it.

>>30412454
Bet the pussy is yummy too

>>30412479
I just might. It's hard to justify spending 3x as much for a surefire that I'll realistically only use to post pictures of on the internet.

>>30411979
I love stuff like that video.
It tickles my tactical nerve.

How much does that AR weigh?

can confirm.

>>30412500
why not something like a streamlight tlr HL? i dont know what you need to attach a pressure switch but its a decent light for around $130 (or regular tlr1 if you dont need the extra brightness)

>>30412513
post it

>Hit another snag with stag lpk.
ohhhh holy SHIT. Did you get a trashass LPK too? My pins are severely undersized and disconnect spring was ground off at a 30deg angle, and wont even stay put. Not to mention a fuckload of other shit like they dremeled some parts AFTER park'd and get this - SPLIT PINS instead of rollpins like they advertize on their own fuckin website.

>>30412524
The Protac is the same price as that, but with more mounting solutions and an included switch. Less bulk and forward mounting with keymod compatibility so I don't need to do a silly top rail setup.

I actually just bought one, can confirm that it turns on and stays attached to the rail.

Its fairly bright, but then again its my first weapon light.

The remote switch is awesome
, and and the mounting equipment actually works and stays solid for more than a day.

>>30412550
how big dem boobs

>>30412568
tits are flat, hence the spandex and pushup, and trying to show off the legs at a range flinging hot brass everywhere. Wait and he will confirm.
