AR15 A2 Receiver

>>33581836

If you want absolute budget, look for Del-ton or DPMS A2 upper receivers. If you want quality, Rock River Arms.

Mind you these are just like your picture. The receiver with the sights, forward assist, and ejection port dust cover installed already, nothing else. No barrel, no BCG, no charging handle, etc.

this is where I bought mine, but there was a sale going on so I got the parts kit and stripped upper for $160 or so

You made $7000 Dalton, quit being poor
Oh wait you're a liar, that's right

>>33581931
Yeah i'll probably buy that, I usually buy my AR parts on palmetto state armory but they dont sell the A2 style unless you want to buy the expensive full upper or the full rifle

>>33581943
make sure you look through the upper parts kit. I was missing a spring for one of the detents in the sight assembly. I searched for hours and I still don't know if I lost it or it just wasn't included. Basically, be really careful when opening the UPK, because there's a bunch of tiny little parts.

I ended up ordering a new spring from Del-Ton. I thought I was getting all three, but nope, $0.75 PER tiny detent spring and like $2 shipping.

>>33581999
Yeah I'll be careful, hopefully when I get it everything will be there

>>33583276
source? im not buying it. i am pretty well versed in the C7 since i built one myself. im sure thats possible for one simple tiny little part to be different like that early on but i have never seen or heard that before

and i have autistically searched through ar15.com and m4carbine.net for my build

>>33583313
Early 715's shipped with A1 furniture, anon. It was a transitional gun which didn't switch until about 1984. Please save yourself embarrassment and stop posting.

>>33583333
Woah jimbo there he goes again, talking about shit he's only trying to impersonate.

>>33583332
We had a twin pair of untouched civilian 715's from 1983 come through the shop on consignment. They were still in the plastic and had obviously never been fucked with, everything was verified by our appraiser who I'll actually see tomorrow in church. If I can find anything beyond my anecdote I'll post it, there's documentation somewhere.

I was in those arfcom threads too

I got this one:
https://www.redbubble.com/people/misterspotswood/works/20950451-upotte-school-crest?p=sticker&size=small&size=medium

In medium. However, for some reason I expected it to be pretty heavy duty, and it isn't. It has a matte finish and doesn't feel like a particularly strong sticker so I went ahead and taped over it with some packing tape because why not. If it comes off or something I won't be that sad.

Here's a stencil as well. I think if this sticker comes off I'll use this and some spray paint.

C7's are just as heavy as A2's unfortunately, but they sure are simple. The M16A1 and friends are really your lightweight tier, or a 605 build if you want to get silly light.

>>33582903

Nice Olympic Arms mate, that was my first AR too.

>>33583548
at the end of the day, no one is making new C7 or A1 uppers anymore so if you want to buy one you'd better be prepared to spend a lot and/or do a lot of searching FA has A2 uppers in stock right now, for $100.

>>33583548
i guess they just feel light to me because im using to having a scope or optic and the one piece upper is so bulletproof i fucking love it

>>33583570
>no one is making new C7 or A1 uppers anymore
wrong.

>>33583557
"got" means "received"
please be careful next time with your comprehension, ok?

>>33583564
nope

>>33583570
DPMS makes production rifles with C7 uppers, it'd be feasible to buy one and stripe the upper.

>>33583581
An 8.5# rifle is heavy to me, scope or not.

>>33583628
>An 8.5# rifle is heavy to me, scope or not.
Lift more faggot.

>>33583628
>DPMS makes production rifles with C7 uppers
And Troy makes an XM177E2 clone, but they're not selling just the uppers, and most people don't want to buy an entire rifle just for one part.

>>33583639
sbty

>>33583654
A1 uppers are infinitely easier to find and get than a C7

>>33583537
Have you considered holding it in place with one of those stock pouches? It obviously wouldn't do as good of a job but it'd look a lot less shit. And a hell of a lot more tactical.

>>33584049
Holding the sticker in place with a pouch? Nah, I don't have one of those pouches to try it with. If I get another sticker I'd get the small and probably put the tape on again (but a little more carefully).

The main problem with the sticker is that it's paper. I guess I thought it'd be vinyl (which is why i thought it'd be more glossy and not matte), but since it's just paper or something if it gets wet it's going to rip. The sticker backing doesn't feel particularly strong either. It'd work just fine on a laptop or hard plastic case, but on a gun that night get wet or have solvent spilled on it, I don't think it'll last.

not op at all
Should I build an 727 clone or an A2?


Or should a put a lightweight barrel on an A2? /devilish/

If you want to build one from a stripped upper it's easy. Ar15sport sells the stripped upper for $100 and the rear sight kit for $60 but I've seen them
Cheaper elsewhere. Numrich also has some

Pic is my A2. Sold the middle AR because I never shot it

>>33587424

How are A2s to shoot? I've been looking at building one.

>>33587437
I enjoy it. The irons are nice, the rifle buffer and gas system make it a real joy to shoot. It also sounds nice, more like S CRAACK then a bang

I don't like how long the stock is but you can put an A1 stock on and it will feel better. That's on my to do list.

How noticeable is the weight difference from the A1 to A2?

>>33588187
There must be a mistake with the OAL of the A1, because it suggests that the bayonet grew in length by about 10" between the A1 and A2.

Jesus the A2 seriously should have just been an A1 with newer handguards and a shell deflector, we would have been good until the fucking M4A1.

>>33583548
Where can one find a diemaco upper?

>>33588377
Nice build, anon. Try to source some straight handguards if those aren't, the angle makes them look tapered.

>>33588415
You can't.

>>33588954
I've seen tripfags post them on here so how did they get one?

>>33588970
Luck. Chances are you'll not find one, your best bet is getting lucky with a DPMS upper floating around.

>>33588209
>>33588187
I thought the barrel only added another half a pound, how the fuck did they make the a2 3 pounds heavier?

>>33589386
That's the A4. Take the heavier barrel of the A2 and thrown in a fucking rifle-length quadrail and you have a fuckheavy AR.

>>33582903
I unironically love Colt 715 builds. I want to make one myself.
