I took the rail off, but it back on.

I notice that when it is back on with the screws that hold it loose or *just* tightened, it requires a much smaller windage adjustment.. If I give them extra tightening to keep them on, it requires more windage.

I have the same rail. I'm missing one of the smaller hex screws because it came loose and I accidentally cross threaded it and turbo fucked it when I went to Loctite it.

Rail still holds fine with the 3 big ones and the one on the other side.

If it's crooked I would call PSA and ask for an exchange or return it. I wouldn't want to fuck with it out of the box like that.

>>33960545

I mean if you turn it with the hex key until it first starts to feel solid, that's how tight I mean.

I don't know that I have a screwdriver that would fit these.

Now that I recall, i actually tightened these slightly before shooting as they seemed "loose" to me.

>>33961528
Anon, adding a bunch of extra weight to the front of your gun with a quad RIS, which is designed to give the most amount of room for mounting accessories, then using 1% of that space, is retarded. Stop trying to justify stupid decisions and get a modular rail

Probably the best option for a Californian desu. You only need to register the lower, what you do with it is up to you. You can keep it with a bullet button and have a regular mag release button on hand if shtf so you can just switch back. That or an AK with monsterman grips, with a regular grip on hand.

https://aeroprecisionusa.com/ar15-complete-lower-receiver-standard.html

And

https://danieldefense.com/upper-receiver-groups/mid-length-urg/daniel-defense-v7-lw-upper-receiver-group.html

building ar platform rifle is easier than legos. thousand youtube tuts out there.

the challenge is figuring out your parts and what you want.

unloaded ar15: 4lb is light as fuck, 10lb is getting heavy, 12lb is pretty heavy especially if you gotta carry it long distance like i do.

>>33961605
That thing is fucking sweet. Might just save up for the Pro

>>33961640
Sweet thanks man I'll check this build out. You guys said YouTube has vids on the construction?

>>33961718
Yup. Thousands of them. But it's hell on Earth trying to decide on what to use bc there's so much awesome shit. Might be easier on you though since you are just starting out.

>>33961516
something to keep in mind, 308 ars arent as easy as their 5.56 counterparts. not much harder though, it just takes a little bit more research into receiver patterns (dpms vs armalite/ar10) and receiver height (dpms high/ dpms low/ dpms g2/ armalite (and i think rra does their own thing as well)).
basically, for 308 find a receiver set you want and go from there.

>>33961703
if you want 18" and are willing to spend 2k id go with this

>>33961718
you might want to decide what kinda rifle you want.

pick a caliber, pretty much any you can think of between the ar10 and ar15.
cheap to buy ammo for are 223, 762, 9mm luger, 22LR.

pick a barrel length (and if you silence/short barrel: gas system length)

decide a target weight to shoot for (wish i had done this on my first build)

choose parts/optics/ammo based on your use case. e.g: long range / short range / hunting / bench shooting, whatever.

lots of customization available, you might as well take advantage of it.

>>33961757
>>33961767
That's sweet. Wouldn't be able to buy optics for it tho at that price. What's mlok?

Last question, what kind of ammo should I be using for this badboy? Don't know much about 5.56

>>33961854
Something to keep in mind with the KAC though, while it is probably the best out of the box gun around, if you need work done on it or to replace parts it's going to cost significantly more.

They use a special bolt which is ground breaking and awesome, but if something were to happen to it the replacement cost is like $300 instead of like $80

However it wouldn't stop me from buying one. Just thought you should know.

>>33961867
/arg/ is a bully pit for sure but in my experience we are pretty nice to the new ones that just genuinely don't know any better.

>>33961881
MK262(77gr OTM) is the gold standard for precision and defensive use. 55gr M193 or Wolf Gold is good for plinking, training, and stockpiling.

>>33961881
for cheap plinking most shoot some M193. wolf gold is very popular. marketed as .223 remington but is 556 spec. for more expensive shooting there is mk262, PPu 75 gr match, TMK, SMK, all kinds of stuff in various different weights and suiting different budgets. what your individual rifle likes to shoot well is a factor too

>>33961881
/arg/'s plinking/practice ammo of choice is Wolf gold, defensive/combat ammo is a bit more divisive

>>33961893
Unless they post an abortion.

>>33961881
first try a few different kinds of ammo to see what your gun shoots best with, then buy that ammo in bulk if you can.

reloading is time consuming with single stage but if you shoot more than a couple thousand rounds a year its probably worth it for cost savings., if you have the time/patience for it.

>>33961881
Pretty much>>33961900
There are also many other fantastic defensive and precision rounds out there

>>33961887
luckily the URX4 wrench isnt stupid expensive like the 3.1

color me surprised

>>33961900
Sweet thanks for the advice, I'll use the Wolf for practice and the MK262 for when shit hits the fan you guys are awesome

>>33961911
honestly for the price of the URX3.1 wrench it's easier to just have it sent off for installation unless you can find someone to borrow said wrench from.

>>33961881
One more thing. DO NOT BUY M855. It is the absolute worst ammo you can buy.

>>33961911
That helps a lot. Also seems like I read that KAC voids your warranty if you let a non KAC licensed smith work on it. Could be mistaken.

>>33962003
I'll send you an email.

>>33961979
The next service rifle will be a 6.8SPC AR.

The reason is because it has phenomenal ballistics out of very short barrels. A 6.8SPC fired from an 8.5" barrel will deliver the same energy as a 5.56 fired from a 20" barrel.

Also the military won't have to buy all new rifles with different parts and shit. They can just convert their M4s.

>>33962013
>energy

>>33962017
It's has good long range potential too.

Pretty sure 6.5g beats it out of short barrels and range

>>33962036

Nope. 6.8 is less dependent on barrel length for velocity.

6.8 is nice but it doesn't meet the long range performance the Army said it wants

>>33962054
Technically it is better at longer range, but only marginally so. That short barrel performance is really important to the military.

Are you agreeing 6.5g performs better passed 600m or saying 6.8 is?

>>33962099
But where's the proofs?

>>33962099
m855 is more expensive and less accurate, not to mention its doesnt live up to its AP reputation

>>33962102
I'm saying 6.5 is slightly better at long range but it doesn't really matter.

Also the new SPC II spec ammo blows Grendel out of the water.

SSA 85 grain TSX fired from an 8.5" barrel has a velocity of 2678FPS

>>33962036
6.5 is terrible with short barrels. 6.8 is not as good as 6.5 at long range out of a short barrel it is

>>33962149
>chart deleted
Muzzle velocity is nice and all but retained energy is what matters. 6.5g is great because it just keeps going. 6.8 loses energy faster than 6.5 last I checked and the army isn't gonna build new rifles in a new caliber if it still goes subsonic between 5-600m

It's literally pointless

>>33962133

I tend to buy only m193 as one of my ARs is 1:12 barrel, but otherwise aren't they about the same ?

>>33962273
Didn't even address Short barrel performance. Just told us what we already new, that 6.8 is pointless

>>33962333
>i don't know what the point of 6.8spc is: the post
When they make 128gr 5.56 lemme know

>>33962335
Well m193 is 55gr and m855 is 62gr

>>33962372
They make 6.5g, no point in 6.8

>>33962372
it's pointless, not because of 5.56, but because of 5.56 and a few other calibers

>>33962372
See>>33962333

>>33962393
6.5g and 6.8 do two different things. 6.8 is like a slightly faster .300Blk while 6.5g is an inbetween for 5.56 and 7.62

this. 6.5 barrel limitation limits its use.
6.8 SPC was designed with short barrels in mind.

the 6.8 is more oriented towards terminal ballistics, while the 6.5 is more oriented towards external ballistics
