next, i need to bevel(is that the right word?) the take down pin holder so it won't touch the screws from the rail.

This brings up a question I've had in queue for a while now. If I have something laser-etched into aluminum, rendering it white, could I have that area selectively anodized, or would the rest of the part be anodized as well, overtop of the anodizing already in place?

This is my first build, and in fact of my first AR ever. I already have the BCG/CH & FCG ordered so those should be arriving in the coming week, hopefully.

I looked at a few companies and decided to go with PSA and am satisfied thus far.

Striving for a black & grey build, I like FDE fine but I feel like too many people go with that set up.


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>30928640
no, the front pin was a bit too straight walled.

>>30928622
exactly the same in every way, not even joking.
that's why i'm gonna sell it and get the b5, figure i'll make $30-40

>>30928687
>google it

I have returned. So far, my research leads me to believe it is possible, but I have to seal the anodized parts so they remain unaffected while the white metal is reanodized.

It looks somewhat complicated, but possible.

I guess enameling is the preferred option for a reason.

Does sight factor in when you aim at something?

If so, you might want to go into your bathroom, close the door, and turn the light off. Then ask yourself if you could realistically aim at something in those conditions. If not, a fucking light helps.

Depends if you plan on using the rifle as an indoor HD gun or innawoods SHTF gun.

You'd want a ton more light if you were outside and distance was at play, whereas a 600 Lumen light indoors might actually blind you bouncing off light painted walls or mirrors.

For $200? Check Amazon, that's about how much I paid. The DS-SR07 cap and switch was painful though. I think that ran me about $160 but it was worth it in the end. I didn't realize I'd be buying an M4 clone so soon when I picked up the cap/switch.

Surefire M951 is pretty good you can drop in a Malkoff head to increase the brightness.

>>30929717
>Are there actual problems or is it just /k/'s special brand of autism?
Both. AR's were not designed for piston, they have a problem called carrier tilt which is where the piston puts uneven force on the bolt carrier and causes increased wear on the receiver and buffer tube. Even high end piston designed AR's like the HK 416 have a service life of 10,000 rounds before you need to replace the buffer tube due to carrier tilt. Cheap conversions like Adams Arms have an even shorter service life.

>>30929791
yeah, they're huffing the brand name.

Unless you are a "this my problem solver" gangland nigger, I'd expect you to clean and lube your gun when you get home from the range. You can go 1k+ rounds without cleaning if you have to.

Also, it means proprietary parts, so have fun paying out the ass when something breaks.

Give me one example of a situation where a piston system will work better than a DI.

Let's not forget that even if you're not dealing with gas-cycling in the receiver, you still have metal moving against metal.

Streamlight Protac 2 with arisaka mount a good idea for my AR 15? I am a bit worried the 260 lumens won't be enough for outside work.

That sounds like 90's mustangs with the fake ductwork.

Did you even look at the fucking pic you posted? It's fucking stupid simple and the only time you would have to "read" the reticle is if the target is over 200 yards away.

Not him but it crossed my mind after I bought that FN M4 clone, but I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Not only of just doing it, but there are a lot of LEO and ATF guys at my ranges, especially the closest range to me that I don't want to have to be bothered with one of them noticing me and grilling me on it.

I don't agree. I prefer >>30929979. It centers my eye like a peep sight and does have a couple of hashmarks that allow me to adjust for range, if I have the luxury of time. Your mileage may vary.

Hello there ATF

>>30930129

I bought it off PSI

Works very well and is quality, I was hiking pretty extensively with it and could carry my food, med gear, rain poncho, blanket, and kettle in it.

It does get tight though, and I'd recommend it as a 3 day/hiking type pack instead of a hardcore grab and go innawoods for a month deal.

Pic related, tinfoil, kek. Its a prop I made for a video I did a while back, its literally tinfoil glued to cardboard. I also made it slightly off scale and it in no way is a real LL.

Bullshit.

I'm doing my first build, doing an A4 clone. I have an Andersons lower. Should I build the upper, or buy a Andersons 20 in complete upper?

The only 20 inch upper I could find on their site has M4 feedramps, which are wrong, and an HBAR barrel, which is wrong and bad.

OK you're right, you can get about 5 or 6 in before it binds up. But it will not function correctly.

6.8 requires steel gi magazines or special 6.8 pmags that only fit a LWRC 6.8 rifle standard pmags are too thick to work with the bigger cartridge and longer OAL.

not my preference but you did a good job not sure if that finish was what you wanted but you should have backed up for a more matte look

The M16A2 was a mistake and will go down in history as yet another reason why the USMC should never be allowed to make decisions about anything.

There we go.

But how many will fit in the steel mags?

Some say 25, but I just want to be sure.

I love their prices and parts but god their customer service is fucking dogshit

If I have drop in hand guards, would I be able to get rid of those and install a free float? My second option is buying a new upper. Thoughts?

>>30930398
25 is correct. I'm sure the extended basepads that Taran and 10 other companies make could be made to work, assuming they make some for gi mags.

>>30930370
>steel gi magazines
I thought milspec mags were aluminum. They come in steel as well?

>>30930385

Whatever yo. The look gives me boners.
