I always see this gun posted. I'm really interested in building something like this. Whats the build?

>>31328783
Dank you, looks dope
>>
>>31328262
That's ridiculous. My rifle was $1900 and I'll never shoot beyond 500yds. Wtf would I need a 2-4K optic for? That's a dumbass rule.
>>
>>31328789
>Whats the build?
Expensive

>>31328961
It was a rule for bolt guns up to th 90's.
Nowadays we can get optics that are robust with good glass for low prices.
>>
About $750 to build a good rifle
$4-500 for a good Aimpoint.
Reaching out further than 500 yards, you're better off using another rifle. Everything under that, it will do fine

yeah id say this is fair. building with this budget will stretch your dollar better than out-of-the-box, but either way is a good route.
>>
>>31329001

This. Standardization of the majority of AR15 parts leaves me unable to tell much difference from one gun's performance to another, aside from fit and finish.

Barrel and trigger manufacturing are the noticable exceptions, but I don't think Shileen, Krieger, or Geissele are making entire rifles.

What did he mean by this?

>>31329296
Well since you asked, the money you put into the gun should be easily gotten back and more, by just selling the gun. Or you could coat the gun in a rubbery, unappealing paint like substance to make sure nobody will ever want to buy it.
>Inb4 acetone will remove the paint, bro
Yeah then your anodization and factors finishes wear off
>>
>>31329330
>selling the gun
What is that "selling" word?
>acetone wears off type 3 hard anodizing
Hello Mr.Retard

OK you dumb slut. Soak and scrub your gun in acetone a few times. Post .webm here

Midwayusa is selling DelTon rifle kits for under $500. All you need is a stripped lower. Bang.

What kind of faggot talk is this?

I don't read your gay AK threads. Assault rifles are for children and murderers.
>>
>>31329392
Do you have any idea how many times I used paint stripper on this gun? You are a complete moron and need to jump off the tallest building in the world with no parachute.

P.s. I've also used acetone, brake cleaner, and gasoline.
>>
>>31329397
The barrel isn't chrome lined.
>>
>>31329423
Face it bro, your factory finish is toast. The value of your parts is diminished. These are facts that hurt now, but with time you will be able to accept. For now, it's time to put the keyboard down, and cry quietly into the pile of receipts and shipping orders of all thover quality parts you rendered worthless. Not to mention that kac lower you dremeled
>>
>>31328007
Whatever you feel like for the rifle plus cost of an aimpoint. Preferably this equates to you being able to afford a great amount of food for it.
>>
>>31329392
Wrong, faggot.

Acetone cannot into damaging anodized aluminum.

So you'd never want to sell any of your parts? I'd sell a stock or mount or qd sling cup to finance something that might replace said parts. However that option is gone for you. Say you want a better stock, so you put your old one up for sale. Nope, sorry, nobody wants a paint encrusted garbage stock too bad
>>

>Abrasion
Don't use steel wool or sand paper you fucking moron

Pretty similar with PC's I feel.

>>31329532
If what you use to scrub takes off paint, it takes off anodization. Maybe not all of it, but it thins it. These are facts, friend
>>
>>31329545
So companies have flattened on ergonomic development? They will never make better stuff than what you have now? I think not...
>>
>>31329555
is that a fact? Does scrubbing dirt off your car take off the clear coat?
>>
>>31329439

Neither are match-grade stainless steel barrels. Did you gwt ahold of some corrosive 5.56/.223?
>>
>>31329555
Just use paint stripper and a pressure washer.

>>31329574
>I think not
You can think whatever you want, facts are facts and the fact is, you're a moron.
>>
>>31329597
I don't soak my car in acetone you dunce. Now go sit in the corner while the adults talk.
>>
>>31329606
Evidence supporting the alleged fact that I'm a moron? Yeah I don't see any, bub. Try again tho
>>
>>31329605
I just like the idea of it being very forgiving about neglect, even though I take good care of my guns.

I think not, friendo. Don't buy into the hipster mentality that all good widely used things are bad.

It's a basic stock for a basic bitch like you.

"What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud.

It felt to me like a bazooka β€” and sounded like a cannon.

But mostly, I was just terrified.

Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions β€” loud like a bomb β€” gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable."
