are you supposed to lube your trigger hammer/spring at all? i've seen mixed opinions on this, but i haven't at this point and my trigger seems very heavy. short, clean, and crisp pull; but heavy. it's a BCM PNT if anyone is familiar.

noob here, I got a "melonite" barrel instead of a "CHF" barrel from PSA cuz it was cheaper - did I fuck up?
>>34632322
CHF refers to how the barrel is rifled, melonite is a finish for the barrel. Your barrel is button-rifled, which is fine, and unless you're dumping in full-auto, chrome lining isn't necessary and melonite is arguably better. You didn't fuck up, and even if you did, barrels are a wear part that inevitably get replaced.

Can anyone with a Geissele rail tell me how stiff they are? Does it flex a little when you try to pinch the rail to the barrel?
>>34633523
They are one of those most rigid rails on the market. With that being said they issued a recall of sorts on the mk13/14 because of rotation, but not for flexing.
>>34633532
I know that, but all free-floating rails flex a little bit. I'm just curious how much they flex.

I need help, I just ordered a slr adjustable gas block, .750, .400. Now I see they have a .450. I have a bcm barrel with a geissele super gas block on right now, am I fucked?
>>34633893
Wtf r u even talkin bout
>>34633897
There's 2 kinds, .400, and .450 set screw spacing
>>34633893
It's barrel diameter
If you got a .400 when you have a .750 you're fucked
>>34630582

>>34633920
No slr has 2 different set screw spacing on the .750 adjustable, .400 and .450
>>34633454
Why not something good?
>>34633571
Hardly at all. In fact, I think when I do the barrel-to-rail pinch, my BA Hanson barrel is the part doing most of the flexing.
>>34633636
I-I'd go shooting with y-you

>HURR IT'S NOT PRETTY

>>34633917
That would only mean anything if either if the following are true:
>barrel dimpled for both set screws
Or
>barrel dimpled for non-gas port aligned set screw
Basically, if someone dimpled the barrel and is not retarded, they should have only dimpled the barrel beneath the gas port. If that's the case, set screw spacing won't mean shit since one set screw is always directly opposed to the port (it's how they machine the gas port in the block out of one piece of metal)

Does this look like a decent gun? Comes with a flip up which is neat, I was considering just getting a carry handle sight instead though, so I dunno. I do like that it has the normal looking barrel profile instead of the normal M4 style with cutouts for a grenade launcher I will never acquire that most cheap ARs have.

>>34634867
What makes Del-Ton unreliable compared to the other options? I was under the impression that if you were getting a cheap AR you might as well go full miser because they are all made on the same milspec parts, and you only actually get more bang for your buck when you put in the money to invest in something more expensive.
I mean it's an AR, people people them in their garage, how can you fuck it up?

Unfortunately, there's too much business in California for it to fail even with such varied, rampant, abundant parasitism in it's borders. Last year the CALSTRS was 480 billion dollars in debt, this year it's down to just 200 billion. The monster is too big to fall, to it's own detriment. It would take an enormous natural disaster to cripple the state, and that would have worldwide economic repercussions. We saw what the California housing market did in 2008.

Del-Ton is fine. My first AR was a Del-Ton upper, and it's been great. The only knock on it was the 1/9 twist barrel, but I'm pretty sure they're all 1/7 now.
That said, you'll probably be able to get a better AR from Palmetto State Armory. Del-Ton charges extra for chrome lined barrels, but a PSA melonite upper will be less than the chrome lined Del-Ton.
>pic related is my Delton upper, cut to 14.5" with a pinned and welded brake and a CMMG 22lr conversion bolt

Bought this years ago before I knew anything about anything.
Don't like the fde furniture and I'm a cheap bastard. Should I paint it something that will work better for NC or just buy new furniture?
>>34635343
depends. Are you going to put in the effort to get a good result? I've seen awesome rattlecan jobs and I've seen many more shit jobs.

a $5 bottle of rit dye can fix your issues, if you dont want to paint that is.

>>34635356
I don't mind putting in the effort to do it right. Also just debating putting moe sl furniture in it in black.
Mostly shoot 1911s but took this thing out last weekend and remembered how fun it was.

If you're willing to put in the time, you can get excellent results for half the price of Duracoat or whatever. If you have the FDE furniture from Magpul, you can get good results with cheap Rit dye from Wal Mart. I dyed FDE AK pistol grips to match my bakelite foregrips on my parts kits, and I was really impressed with the results considering the costs.
Personally, I'm weird like that. I love the look of of a well done rattlecan job over fancy anodizing like Colt and others were doing for a bit, and duracoat with fancy screen-printed camo decals.
I have the original MOE stuff on my AR but I do like the newer SL grip. You can really pull your right elbow in tighter with that grip angle as opposed to the regular MOE, at least for me.
>>34635166
Better with M4 profile barrel
>>34635457
Rit dye is just boiling it, right?
>>34635343
Also, should I put a 20 inch barrel on this thing to make better use of cheap xm193 or leave it at 16 inches?
Got my first AR today, /k/
What should I do with it?
Also, is there supposed to be a tiny bit of wobble between the upper and lower? I noticed it after I took the upper off.
>>34635503
Yeah. Just boiling it. I used red and golden yellow and just boiled water on the stove and threw it in my car-wash bucket. 3 applications and my grips matched my Bakelite furniture really really well.

Paint it.
Use some pine needle boughs as a template. It looks great in the NC woods.
>>34635714
Thanks friendo
I also see that putting an O-ring on the front lug seems to work well
>>34635731
That looks great
>>34635731
Exactly what I'm talking about man. Well done.
>>34635763
Home Depot matte camo paint.
Protip: once you get it like you want, spray it with 5 or 6 coats of matte clear coat. That will help protect it and keep it from getting sticky and rubbing off all over you and your gear.
>>34635731
Does that come with a banjo or do you have to pay extra?
>>34635782
>>34635784
Comes with a banjo, an uncle-dad, and an aunt-cousin.
>>34635343
But FDE matches very well in the autumn once all the grass dies and the leaves have fallen.
Paint for insest it is then.
Have a 1911 in return.
>>34635828
Yeah I'm tempted to just leave it and build a 20 inch the way I want.
>>34635314
Nice small manlet feet.
>>34635898
>20"
Nah man, don't do it unless it's for pure nostalgia. I built one, and realized just how outdated that length is.
Maybe 18" if you want the velocity for hunting.
Or just go all out and build a precision monster with a 24 or 26 inch barrel.
>>34635454

Isn't xm193 out of a 20 supposed to go thru plate armor and just kill the hell out of everything?
I like the 16, and I can tag my steel at 100 standing and goofing off all day. If it is good effect at that range then I'm good.
What's the cheapest piston upper you can get for AR-15?
>>34635969
XM193 is just practice and plinking ammo.
If you're shooting an AR to kill something, it should be loaded with a minimum 69 gr HP, but preferably a 75 or 77 gr OTM bullet.
You're not limited to military FMJ ball ammo like Stoner was when he developed the M16. There's no need to push a bullet to "LUDICROUS SPEED" in order to make it lethal. Just buy a better constructed bullet.
>>34635969
>>34636008
IMO, ~10.5" is quickly becoming the most optimal barrel length for the AR platform, thanks to better constructed modern projectiles.
>>34636033
11.5 or bust

Does Mr. 6b45 have plates?
What sources (besides lurking this thread...) would be the most comprehensive and the best when it comes to learning absolutely everything about the ar15 platform?
>>34636069
~10.5" = 10.3" to 11.5"
You're splitting hairs.
>>34636089
Less now, but I'll be there a lot more once it's football season. I get season tickets to ECU home games with my pops every year. And of course deer season as well.
I'm pretty far east you you guys though, Selma is as close as I'll get.
>>34636102
>implying ~10.5" is the preferred length of the most MAGA pipe-hitting operators in 'Murka.
I have a 16" M4 profile that I cut down to 14.5 and made my 22lr/trainer build though. It was my first AR.

>>34636278
Where the fuck are you getting aimpoint pros for $350 BNIB?
>>34636233
The tripower is cool.
I'd buy one for $150.
The only issue I had with mine was the crap battery life, but that's offset pretty well by the fiber optics and tritium.

Is there a way to make an AR-15 into a Lewis gun cosplay? Well, I'm only really thinking of adding some heatsink element to the front and then a huge tube going all the way beyond the muzzle as an air guide / handguard in one.
Are you familiar with the functioning principles of an aspirator pump? This would basically end up being an inline design that uses the muzzle blast to "pull" air in around the chamber and pull it further forward towards the muzzle.
>>34636453
JP Makes heat sinks
>>34636512
I saw them, those are tiny though. I need something way bigger.

Well I'm stupid at rifles, been buying xm193 cause I can play no with it and it's supposed to be hot.
What should be my go to defense ammo out of a 16 inch 1:8 barrel?
And how much of it would you keep in hand?
For my pistols I I keep about 500 rounds carry ammo and enough materials to load thousands of rounds of respectable wadcutters.
>>34636553

pick one
Get a better optic (holosun or PRO)
Get a better stock (B5 or CTR)
Get a better light (surefire m300/m600)
and in the future, better handguard (M4 RAS is all the hype right now)

There is a used A2 style Bushmaster Dissipator at a local store on sale for $525. Looked like a police trade in. It seemed like it was in pretty good shape, just needs some oil, finish on the receiver was pretty worn. Anyone have experience with these?
>>34636743
$525 is to much
>>34636553
>What should be my go to defense ammo out of a 16 inch 1:8 barrel?
There's a lot of great options. I like Hornady TAP 75 gr
I'd keep a mag or 2 worth on hand, and I'd shoot ~100 rounds of it to make sure it feeds and groups well in your rifle.
Worst case scenario is a home invasion with 3 or 4 perps. You start lighting off 5.56 indoors and they'll scatter like roaches in a spotlight.
>>34636814
Thanks man. I like to have lots on hand just to make me sleep good.
Going to trick out my current fde rifle with paint or black furniture, a light, and lots of ammo.
I have a shitload of mags I bought on sale from psa.
>>34630318
Anyone trying to address rifle balance? Trying to shift center of gravity as close to the grip as possible when fully loaded/geared up.
The idea being to reduce fatigue on the shoulders over extended shooting and to increase/maintain accuracy over extended shooting.
With the weight more rearward you can support it better with your body by just resting the stock against. This way your forward arm isn't supporting any weight (just a guide) and your muzzle won't droop downward and put uncomfortable forces on your hand from all the gear on the rails.
So far I have been playing around with adding weight to the stock but you get a huge increase in overall weight with only a small shift in center of gravity.
Curious if anyone else has thought about it.
>>34636743
You can fucking build a standard AR-15 for like 400 brand spanking new.
