Is the issue you have with it the lack of energy/ moshing, or just Nightwish in general?
I might go see Amon Amarth next month, if that's any better.

>>29351492
That'd be a non-issue if you could fine one in stock anywhere.
Like I said, they're not even on Gunbroker.

For guy in last thread.

>>29351354
Thanks mr.jew with good fortunes.
>>29351086
Dont care. Kinda want an RC2.
You recommend to me another suppressor for dedicated 5.56 use with a nice aesthetic QD mount.
Anyways putting the money into savings for now. Fuck it.
>aesthetic rifle of the year, all years
Also all the parts for my new 300blk upper have been ordered. Should have everything by middle of next week.
Also dont order from Cavalry Arms. Fuck those guys.
>>29351150
Which one? The RC? RC2 is newer and listed as cheaper on SuppressorStore or whatever.
>>29351521
maybe my post had a certain tone to it, what i mean is what genre is that music. and no im not a fan of any moshing
Gunna grab my laptop to make some pic of my gun with transparent background.
>>29351528
I haven't looked at the stock of specific cans or not, I was just speaking in generalities.
Also, this is kind of the right place to ask, what's the difference between the SOCOM556 SB2 and the SOCOM556 RC2. I know the SB2 is ideal for SBRs, but is there anything else that separates them?
>>29351551
>>29351484
kek he climbed down then back up
>>29351556
Ah.
The genre I've seen it called the most Symphonic Power Metal.
Amon Amarth is usually listed as Melodic Death Metal, if you've ever seen Metalocalypse they have a similar sound to Dethklok.
It did have a bit of a tone to it, but it's fine.
Also I found some sweet pics of bigfoot for you.
>>29351556
>im not a fan of any moshing
You sound like a faggot.
>>29351604

ill work that samsquatch into some pics
>>29351555
the rc is more expensive but if it's in stock why not.
also, i can't remember why but i believe the 556rc is better than the rc2, again, can't remember why.

Has anyone used a "hybrid muzzle brake?"
>>29351114
Ha you cheeky fuck
>>29351551
Any regrets about the tavor? My brother's about to pull the trigger on one and I'm taking his purchase to heart, wanna make sure it's solid for him
>>29351627
Whoa can confirm. the Kenai river is gorgeous. Closest I ever got to a mother griz and her cub though
>>29351507
That poor AR....
>>29351618
I've found that power metal and it's subgenres are probably my top favorite genre(s).
I'm a sucker for fantasy themes.
Throwing your head around like a crazy person is fun though.
And if you're not at some bs party metal show or something people tend to be super nice in the pit, it's just people being people and having fun together.

>>29351744
he needs to jump or somethin. its been a long ass time
>>29351284
What muzzle brake is that?
>>29351114
nice seasonal waifu faggot
>>29351686
Nope, no regrets. I put a timney trigger in it and have been exceptionally happy with the results. While it has takeup, the break and reset is better than the RRA 2 stage match in my AR. I shot this group with the factory trigger, I still feel like it is capable of better than I'm able to shoot.
>>29351764
I think I'm defensive since so many people shit on it blindly and stuff.
Also I wear surefire EP7's at shows usually, I can usually enjoy it just as much as I would without them.
Also no EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE afterwards.
>>29351776
>implying it's impossible for me to like her long term
>>29351777
Very nice results for .55 grain. Was that .223 by any chance? Curious as to the performance compared to M193
glad you're so happy with it - please post more if you're inclined
>>29351800
ive never been to a show before so i guess ya can say im shitting on it blindly. i like some black sabbath songs thats about as close as ill get
>>29351815
I think all PMC is 5.56 spec.
As to why your .223 is listed at a higher velocity, it's tested from a 24" barrel as per SAAMI standard whereas the 5.56 is tested from a 20" barrel.
>>29351674
What is that supposed to do?
>>29351832
>tfw got to see AC/DC's probably-last show ever
I've seen them in concert 4 times and they never fail to disappoint.

Pre fragmented for your pleasure.
>>29351832
I guess, but you're being really chill about it, some people aren't.
Might be worth giving something a shot sometime, but if you don't no worries.
>>29351834
Appreciate the info - makes perfect sense.
>>29351815
It was PMC Bronze 223 55gr, model number 223A.
Only downside of the rifle I've found is that the optics rail feels like it's maybe 1/8th of an inch lower than I'd like. At eye relief on that TA31 my cheek is firmly on the stock, which does make it fast but shooting from some awkward positions could be troubling.
>>29351845
nice!
>tfw nobody i really like is alive or plays anymore
ive only been to one concert and it was james taylor. lmao
>>29351862
maybe one day
>>29351880
the tavor rail is definitely lower than a AR.
Manticore arms and a couple others make rails to fix this
https://www.manticorearms.com/tavor-rifle-products/tavor-overwatch-medium-top-rail.html
So I fucked up. I bought two ring mounts for my scope. I got the Vortex Viper PST 1-4x and grabbed two ring mounts thinking I could fit it on the receiver.
So what I did was just place them directly next to one another and they're both holding the scope near it's rear.
Tell me, is this a terrible idea? I'll probably shell out for a canted mount in the near future, but I want to take it out and give it a go.
When i got to magazine in shoop software i was reminded to link a abusive ridiculous mag test from arfcom and to announce that i will test one of my hk translucent mag after leaving it outside for few day already started two day ago and freezing it then allowing it return to room temperature for drop test which will start at 4 feet then 6 feet and lastly 8 feet. Im going to take some documenting photos throughout the testing and make some notes like certain observations or how many rounds the mag spit out for each drops.
Link coming up next post
>>29351085
>kill people with railed gas blocks
I agree. but, if were going to kill off retarded, unnecessary things, that also includes you, faggot.
>>29351662
You can come and visit Anchorage, there's different things to do here but you won't get the authentic Alaska experience in the largest city.
>>29351904
>So what I did was just place them directly next to one another and they're both holding the scope near it's rear.
kek post pic
>>29351904
yeah it's a pretty shit idea.
I would not recommend shooting with it that way, it could potentially damage the scope.
What model scope? I've got a spare 3" offset cantilever mount from Vortex that's 30mm, would be willing to sell it fairly cheap.
>>29351891
You could check bandsintown and if someone with an interesting name is coming check them out online, and if they're alright try their show out.
Dunno man.
>>29351904

But it's cool, I still finished.
>>29351913
what part are you in? is it retarded to think i could stay in anchorage and then drive innawoods?
>>29351893
Yeah but then you lose the factory tritium BUIS, and it looks bad in general. Ideally I'd like to see an IDF style gas cylinder rear sight and front sight conversion with a short optics rail. They have something like this in canada, or did. As pictured is exactly what I want.
>>29351910
>kill people with railed gas blocks
Pic related would make a pretty effective mini mace IMO
That way you could literally kill people. With a railed gas block.
>>29351929
It's the vortex PST 1-4x. I think it's 30mm. How tall is the cantilever mount?
I feel too stupid to post a pic. I might just return my dumb ring mounts and actually get a cantilever mount. I feel dumb.
>>29351839
It's suppose to be a muzzle brake that is also a flash hider.
>>29351958
Standard AR height, which IIRC is 1.59" to center.
It's this one.

>>29351947
>and it looks bad in general.
did you even look at the link?
>>29351993
Yes, that rail especially as pictured is hilarious looking, as are most of the accessories for the tavor. It looks like stuff bubba put together in his garage after a few too many.
>>29352004
the tavor is ugly by itself lmao
>>29351975
How much you thinking to sell it for?
Also, when it comes to cowitnessing through a 1x scope... what's the point? I can't seem to fit BUIS behind the scope and still maintain a good eye relief. I'd like to keep my BUIS on, but I don't really see how that's possible.
>>29352004
the one you linked is much much worse.
but hey your opinion.
>>29352017
You can't cowitness irons through a magnified optic. It doesn't matter if it's claimed to be 1x or not, you still will not be able to cowitness. You need a red dot for that.
>>29351908
Here the link

Dont read past like 22th page its all asskissing and bullshit bubba putting in their 2 cent. Although theres plenty that shit throughtout inbetween the test.
Would be gr8 if folks could keep their trap shut and post to minimum until testing's over.
>>29351262
I have that same Guinness sign. Yeeeah booyyy.
>>29352036
Oh and the green follower mag used in testing just one off shit mag that went thur qc because all of my green and black follower have thousands after thousands through them and some had spring replavlced twice. Still chugging like if they are brand new.
>>29352017
Most BUIS will fit under the ocular bezel. The point is to have a QD mount so if you fug your optic you can quickly remove it and use irons.
While you CAN cowitness through 1-whatever scope it's pretty much useless because literally nobody makes a true 1x. They range from ~1.3-1.8x.
Also I'd like to get $65 out of the mount. It's been out of its package but not mounted on anything.
>>29351943
I'm in Anchorage myself, there are definitely places where you can drive to that will get you innawoods. But you need to drive a good half hour to an hr to get to the starting point for good innawoods hiking. Personally I like going to Johnson Pass Trail that's on the Kenai Peninsula. Where pic related was took.

D60 can post webm's of the concert he went to. He contributes quite a bit to /arg/ in terms of pure /k/ontent. If he wants to share the good time he had the other night, and it is outside the bounds of /k/, he can certainly do so. /k/ and /arg/ are a community, tied together by more than simply weapons and survival discussion. We are tied together by the myriad of mutual interests which help us remember that behind that trip, or anon, there is another living and breathing /k/ommando, experiencing a morally significant life.
>>29352096
Hmm. I dont think you know what control in experiment mean.
Anyway i get you what you mean but i am not performing a scientific experiment with bunch of different magazines. I am just doing a personal experiment to see if the hk mag would meet my personal and realistic expectations. I also will test just tad farther to see how far above my expectation hk mag would finally fail if it even will.
My expectation is simply that hk mag do not crack anywhere after dropped from 6 feet fully loaded three time after exposed to maybe 5 full day of UV ray and frozen then thrawed.
Then survive 4 feet drop fully loaded while frozen three time.
I do not wish to destroy the mag so i wouldnt be doing "test until it fail".
Oh and the mag i will be testing is marked number 3.

>>29352136
Where's the fun of not going deep innawoods?
>>29352240
I mean control as in something to compare to that everyone else or at least your self would be familiar with. Testing a standard USGI mag or Magpul side by side with the HK gives everyone a frame of reference that their familiar with.
>>29352246
Oh. My friend. Hansi is my god. I own all of their albums, both physically and digitally.
Whenever people would ask to borrow my iPod or get some of my music, they'd always be surprised when I had like, 3 artists total. BG being about 7/8 of that, haha.

I bought an H&K steel mag on Monday at a LGS. It looked nice, the "Made In Germany" stamp is pretty cool, and I've got a hard on for steel mags right now.
Last night an Anon who was Army or Marines said that they are pretty crap and talked about how his platoon decommissioned almost all of the H&K mags that they had. I returned the magazine today.

>>29352355
I was about to ask him haha.
I ordered an Anderson premium LPK yesterday just to get the stainless steel FCG that it comes with. A LGS had a couple of complete lowers with those LPKs and stainless FCGs in them. The triggers felt really good, heavy but super crisp and clean. Also the trigger surface itself has an interesting profile that I really liked. Hopefully the one that comes in the LPK that I ordered is like the ones that I felt at my LGS.
Do you guys think that a stainless trigger and hammer are g2g though? I read some forums saying that stainless galls and simply isn't as durable as the hardened steel used in most milspec triggers.
Worst comes to worse I have an extra LPK.
>>29352352
it's pretty easy yeah, and even if you don't get it quite right (like I didn't) it still looks good.
For a winter version it's greys and white.
If you search there's some good examples.
Also Jon Olsson's Lamborghini is a decent example, desu.

Did you use matte or flat?

It was bad enough that my range only froze over once. Would it be too much to ask to have a nice day during the middle of the week instead of clustering them all on the weekend?
>>29352318
Gonna stop by third ward?
>>29352455
yeah its pretty great having a primary arms by my parents place
>>29352446
Thanks m8
can i paint my rifle without covering up the gas block and tube?
>>29352413
Yup go for it - thanks buddy
>>29352407
Thanks chief - maybe this mag jives with you?
Hey what's this about a premium LPK from Anderson? I see some with black triggers that I hear are poor quality. Mine has a silver trigger (pictured), but at $60 with a grip, trigger guard, etc I thought it would be considered a standard LPK
Now, the trigger behaves just like you mentioned. Heavy but exceptionally crisp and smooth.
Did I end up with a premium? Is that the going rate? Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
>>29352527
yes
Wat should I do to my AR?
>>29352439
I'm looking forward to it.
>>29352490
>tfw tomorrow is now supposed to be rainy with 20mph winds
Lucky you, their calling for 4" of snow tomorrow where I'm at. It was 68° here today.
>>29352539
smash it with a hammer
just don't miss and hit your foot
>>29352539
What's wrong with your toes?
>>29352456
The handguard is a 13" Houlding CMX. I don't believe it is manufactured anymore. If you're really in love with it you'll need to order an upper from Hardened Arms and wait a month for them to build it, but they do have them still in stock.
The rail covers are NCstar Keymod covers. They are airsoft products made from a flexible rubber. I have since replaced them with BCM Keymod covers and I'm much happier with the appearance and function.
I originally wanted the Noveske ones but they didn't fit so I threw them in the trash.
>>29352503
What is Third Ward?
I'm trying to grab 30 rounders that are date marked pre July 2013. I only have 2 PMAGs right now as used ones are hard to come by.
>>29352490
That a new target? Looks cool. Is it for pistol rounds only?
>>29352539
poop on it like a good autist
>>29352554
>>29352490
BCM barrel, bcm gas tube, SLR gas block, BCM KMR-A, roksett, shim set, and a keymod QD socket.
If Cavalry Arms ever gets off their worthless asses and ships my C1(A1 knockoff), Ill be waiting for that for my SPR as well.
And selling some misc junk so I can justify buying a IWC/VTAC padded sling.
>>29352539
What'd you do to your pinkie toe?
>>29352539
Good God everything about that rifle is horrible.
>>29352539
I wonder what foot fags think of this
>>29352421
fwiw I made absolutely certain the rounds corresponded to the boxes. And while I haven't whipped out the calipers yet, you are right - the .223 chamber apparently has a shorter leade than the 5.56 chamber (about half the length, like .08" vs .16"). So while .223 is snug in a .223 chamber, 5.56 would be TOO snug, hence the increased chance of overpressure/kb
My question is, .223 being slightly 'looser' in the 5.56 chamber, will accuracy suffer?
Basically trying to see if I can justify buying 55grain .223 for less than M193 if the performance is on par
>>29352272
I know what you meant. That can be found in another testing infact plenty testing have been done on those more common mag that I dont need to do them.
But testing for hk translucent are virtually non-existent (i found few but they are basically just dropping them and running them over thats it. no temperature test, no UV exposure, no drop while frozen
This test is primarily done for myself. I have already tested the shit out of usgi and conclusion i came to is usgi can be put out of commission fairly ease if you are doing it on purpose. but accidentally... very difficult and unlikely. But kicker is they can be PUT BACK INTO COMMISSION by simply bending them back into spec granted the spot weld are good and didnt snapped and done in field with plier and to some skilled folks like me can put one with broke spine spot weld and bent feeding lip back in commission. I have standing specimen to prove it too.
>>29352528
I like the magazine, both color and the pattern. How are you getting that pattern? I don't like that the pattern stops prematurely before the magwell.
You have the premium Anderson LPK with the stainless trigger and hammer. That is the one that I ordered. How do you like the trigger so far? How many rounds have you put through it?
The ones that I felt at my LGS had this flat surface profile of the trigger itself that I really liked. It was kinda "sharp" around the edges. Plus the shiny will match my BCG, like yours.
>>29352539
Assemble it of course!
Jesus what is up with the feet of /k/...
How do you like your Sightmark setup?
>>29352545
I love the snow, so that would be awesome.
>>29352558
>That a new target? Looks cool. Is it for pistol rounds only?
Yeah, just got them today. Pistol only. Also got some rifle targets too, but I haven't set those up yet.
>>29352539
Plz be troll
>>29352558
Third Ward is where the University of Houston is
>>29352596
just like yours ;^)
>>29352599
Probably pic related.
>>29352600
>.223 being slightly 'looser' in the 5.56 chamber, will accuracy suffer?
I believe so, and this was answered with the .223Wylde chambering, which can handle 5.56 while optimally chambering .223
>>29352596
>>29352620
>just like yours ;^)
got heem
>>29352600
Shooting .223 out of a 5.56 will limit your accuracy. Fine for plinking and carbine training but there certainly is a limit. It will shoot safe though. The performance will not be on par if you're talking 300yd bench shots.
>>29352620
Hmm I wasn't planning on it in particular. I was just going to hit as many LGS as I could trying to find used magazines.
Anything notable down there?
>>29352607
you have a fucking discerning eye - but I have my reasons. I just got these FDE mags and they are the tightest I own yet (lotta pmags gen2/3, some black USGI)
I already felt my pmags getting snugger with a single coat, so I wanted to make extra sure I didn't crowd the magwell on these FDE USGI's, hence the blank shard
tbqh I'm not sure I prefer these FDE ones. Got em off Midway under an "AR STONER MAGAZINE" listing. They seem sturdy, but the inside seems coated too, and the followers really seemed to benefit from a little froglube
Premium LPK huh?! Imagine that shit! I have no complaints so far. only about 100 rounds through it, and while I did drop a dab of gunslick on the trigger surfaces initially, it already seems to be breaking in nicely.
Oh the pattern is a laundry bag. Huge secret. Don't tell anybady
>>29352627
>>29352632
noted
I really hope .223 wylde isn't a meme
>>29352600
Yea 55gr 223 rem in 5.56 chamner suffer decreases accuracy but the thin copper m193 use suffer decrease in accuracy too.
They are close to each other depending on which m193 and which 55gr 223rem you use other can out shoot other.
Like geco 223 rem would outshoot AE XM193 but imi m193 would outshoot fed val pak 223rem.
Eh eh eh. If you want good accuracy with 223 get one with 69 gr bullet those are great. Especially fgmm 69gr smk.
To clarify all that i just now talked about had load purely shot out of 5.56 chamber in mind.
But m193 and xm193 really shoot flatter and perform better against target than 55gr 223rem.
If just plinking inna 200yds go 55gr 223rem but if its for shtf or anything else go m193.
Keep in mind the x before m193 as in xm193 mean it failed milspec test.
>>29352631
I want to go something for science. I want to get a MOE rail section, attach it to the side of my handguard, zero it, and have it as a backup red dot.
>>29352678
And how some civilian 223rem ammo are held to higher standard that xm193 wouldnt meet. Like some match grade 223rem or just high quality 223rem.
I would rather trust my life to match grade 55gr 223rem like fgmm rather than to AE XM193
>>29352661
>>29352661
>>29352729
>>29352661
Hmm I'll keep that in mind. I kinda want to paint my grey USGI magazines I picked up this weekend. I don't like the rough chalky texture. I much prefer the smoothness of the black steel ones.
Ah a laundry bag? It makes a good pattern.
Yup premium LPK. They're kinda hard to find now honestly. This is where I grabbed mine:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANDERSON-Mfg-Premium-Lower-Parts-Kit-/141933201691?hash=item210be0c91b:g:GxQAAOSwZ8ZW6-CP
I doubt wylde is a meme. I'm sure it is just a chambering slightly in between .223 and 5.56. It won't be entirely optimized for either, but it will have a better "net" performance than a 5.56 barrel or a .223 specific barrel.
>>29352744
What BCG you using for that build?
>>29352678
>>29352707
Thank you for the info - I think I understand about 94% of what you're saying which is pretty good for this late.
Also you totally answer questions I was in the middle of typing out
>I would rather trust my life to match grade 55gr 223rem like fgmm rather than to AE XM193
I've got a small stash of the AE XM193 so this definitely registers.
3-4 decent .223 bullets (weights) and brands to look out for? Thanks
>>29352729
>>29352737
Crispy work bro! Thank you!! Fuckin saved.
And I appreciate you for offering earlier
>>29352744
The price right...the components too ha. Everything came together very smoothly - you'll be satisfied
And your assessment of wylde seems spot on. Kind of a compromise for those shooting 50/50 .223/5.56
>>29352737
This is actually kinda neat.

tfw only thing i need left for my AR is a bipod,sling, and sling attachments
btw can i leave all my mags pre loaded with ammo or should i empty them when not in use? i have the magpul pmags gen 2
>>29352796
>btw can i leave all my mags pre loaded with ammo or should i empty them when not in use? i have the magpul pmags gen 2
Springs get worn out by cycling, not by staying loaded. People will say that the feed lips may get fatigued, but it's probably not an issue.
>>29352796
>tfw you say the only thing I need left for my ar is...
>And it's like 6 things
I'm in a similar position, but it's BCG, CH, sling.
>>29352751
Pictured is the PSA NiB BCG. It has been out of stock for almost two months now. I bought it because it was quite cheap at $100, and I wanted the shiny chrome look. It has held up so far with no staining, and about 700 rounds through it. No malfunctions and I'm overall pleased. I would purchase it again for another build if it were in stock. I might move it over to my pistol once/if I ever pony up for a Mystic Silver Cryptic BCG.
I like it but I would not spend $150-$190 on a nice name brand NiB BCG. For $100-$125 the price is right. Anything more and it seems more worthwhile to put the money elsewhere in the build, or just get the Cryptic.
>>29352737
Spooky shadows!
>>29352761
Thanks I'm looking forwards to it. Honestly wylde seems like a good SHTF chambering if you're stateside.

passin out here amigo
have some 40rounder luv
So I need to make my AR California complaint. Will just a rifle grip stock work? I'm aware of the "thumbhole" regulations and got one that is specifically CA complaint. My question is if I need to do anything else.
>why are you moving to CA
That's my business.
>>29352837
I keep doing it
Oh it's just a few things..
and then there's a huge list.
Thankfully mine is finally getting pretty small.
I traced shapes off the pattern I posted here >>29352333 onto paper, then transferred those shapes onto 3m blue painters tape I had put on wax paper to make sort of DIY stickers.
Then I cut the shapes out of the tape and peeled off the wax paper and applied to rifle, add paint, repeat for each color.
>>29352863
Don't move to ca
>>29352761
69gr is really ideal for 223rem possibly the best because heavier one like 75 and 77 just leave barrel too slow and drop too fast and 55gr's too light and have poor ballistic coefficient.
69 smk 223rem fgmm out of 16" match closely to 77gr mk262 out of 16" up until maybe 300yds and slowly start drop faster than 77gr mk262 but not by much like maybe 3 inch lower by 400yds.
Im foggy on details. i did ballistic calculation like year ago on this but i know for sure 69gr smk is absolute best all around bullet with 223rem meaning you can shoot the furthest with 69smk for 223 rem than 55gr or 77gr.
But for 5.56 75/77gr is best although 69smk perform fantastic too.
For 223rem absolute best for all around is 69smk. But for tiny groups on paper less than say 250yds 75/77gr's great.
For cheap less than stellar grouping plinking 55gr and 62 fmj is winner. Oh and 50gr too.
For 223rem spec loads
I recommend wolf 55gr or brown bear/monarch 55gr for plinking ammo. 69gr fgmm for farther shooting and shtf. 75gr hornady for 100yds grouping.
For 5.56 spec mk262 hands down. If penny pinching get m193 or hot 5.56 with 69gr smk bullet and make range card yourself.
>>29352867
I don't get a choice in this matter. Is there anything other than the grip I have to worry about?
>>29352863
pistol grip is cool, you just need a bullet button
30" OAL is required though
>>29352865
dude tell me about it i started with a shitty DPMS lower i got from a friend and now my list is smaller and smaller feels good.
ahh ok i was thinking of just cutting painters tape into random shapes and using that.
>>29352886
A bullet button probably. idk desu
>>29352813
Dude. Do you know psa nib bcg IS TOOLCRAFT right?
That's nice bcg. Its same shit cryptic use.
Your post sound like you think its some cheap piece if shit that would fail before 2k rounds.
has anyone seen this yet?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMp3PC0diwI
looks legit but the price makes me cringe
>>29352912
Not worth it. It suffers from chronic hammer follow. It's way to easy to outrun the hammer.
Fostech has made a similar trigger that is currently up for pre-order. They claim to have designed theirs in such a way that hammer follow will be non-existent, but I'll wait until they start shipping units in May for me to believe them.
>>29352813
I have the same BCG in my AR. Seems to be a-ok.
I have about 3500 rounds through it, and there hasn't been any flaking yet, though it does have some stains. I could probably get them off if I wasn't so lazy, but thats on me.
>>29352700
Unfortunately Operation Science Shenanigans has failed.
>>29352878
Detailed post - thanks cg. Gonna have to wait till morning to fully process it, but I hear 69gr .223 being on the ideal end of the spectrum, 'farther shooting and shtf' like you said.
Do you think I can find decent 69gr .223 for close to 40 -45cpr? I'd be very content with that rate
And considering both the XM193 and 55gr .223 I've found (pictured earlier, both AE) are right at 37cpr, which would you opt for if you had to choose?
Had to dig out my old phone to take a picture of my new phone. What a silly world we live in.
>>29352947
>>29352878
This is probably the best pic for reference:
>>29351815
The .223 brass is definitely cleaner, seems to have fewer dings too
Think I could keep it under 2MOA out to 400 yards maybe? Trying to say realistic about engagement distances and that seems like the effective max
>>29352889
That can work too, I did half and half with pattern shapes and DIY shapes/ offcuts from making pattern shapes.
>>29352974
>>29352947
>>29352761
I shoot a shit load of Federal XM193 and American Eagle .223
The AE .223 is mostly LC brass with NATO headstamps and I probably couldn't tell the difference between the two if it wasn't tumbled.
Just sayin'.
>>29352996
Comforting. thanks for the input bro
I'm seeing now how much more tasteful your color coordination is. very nice
>>29352985
ok cool pic is the pattern i want to go with on mine and it doesn't look difficult. should i cover the whole rifle in tape except the designated color and then tape off the parts in color and do the same until i have the pattern i want? will i waste my time?
>>29353004
>>29352996
*compared to mine. it's late. now I sleep
>>29353004
That was V1 of my rifle. Currently on V2.1, if we're going to be keeping track like that. The paint job is just a reskin.
Pic related is how it currently lives.
>>29353034
Troo - absolutely righteous paintjob Cordan. you really committed and it looks great. I think your pics are gonna inspire whatever full-body workup is coming down the pipe for mine
>>29353053
The most important parts are making sure your color scheme matches your area and not caking the paint on. Go light handed and make sure you know what your plan is ahead of time.
I watched a lot of videos on Youtube about it, read an Arfcom thread or two, and looked at the paintjobs on rifles that I liked. I kept coming back to really liking the mesh camo style, and since it's simple I went for it.
>trips I don't recognize
Not sure if I missed name changes or if babby's first AR
Transparent background photo done. I even went autistic and cleared space between rail notch and hole in handguard and stock. I did this twice because first pic was too dark and hole in handguard at bottom was unclear so i picked another pic of it on grass and redo then painted away some grass that overlapped the rifle.
>>29352947
Check this out.
http://ammoseek.com/ammo/223-remington/-rifle-69grains-?ca=brass
So its more like around 50 cent at that point you absolute must get third one austrian outback 69gr smk thats one's like poorman fgmm. Very good just like cbc is poorman mk262.
Dont get priv. performance to price isnt good enough compared to outback.
Glad to help. But be sure to check out some god teir 55gr like geco if its cheaper than outback 69gr i would totally get that.
For 2 moa out to 400yds that would be doable with 55gr geco and 69gr smk outback but a struggle with say fed val pak or fiocchi or privi.
>>29353071

i'm a sucker for the mesh too ha

just had a brown girl at a custom hat shop make me this beauty yesterday
>>29353562
What the hell is that rifle? Also, great hat :^
>>29353506
Not the greatest contortion of words but I'll allow it.
So what does /arg/ use the chamber in their solid stocks?
We mostly used them to hide snacks in and notes with useful information about which NCOs still lived with their mothers for the next generation of hapless conscripts.
I'm looking to buy my first AR.
I am rich so I don't really care about the price, but I don't want to be a fool. Aesthetics are important to me because I am a faggot.
Is Noveske's Gen I Recce a solid purchase or would I be wasting money on a chic product that is bad?
>>29353661
It's a T97 m8 with the Canadian upgraded lower hand guard and flat top upper
>>29353805
Noveske is good stuff. You just pay a premium price for it.
>>29351935
awesome, thanks bro
>>29353805
I'd personally take a KAC over Noveske, but Noveske is high quality stuff for sure
>>29354597
this, kac>noveske
>>29354597
This is true. Noveske is gucci, but an SR15 is arguably the best factory AR15 on the market. All things considered.
If you want to just buy a good rifle >>29353805
Then Noveske is fine, but also consider Daniel Defense, KAC, LMT, and at the more affordable side of the spectrum BCM. Anything BCM should be good to go, and leave more money for an optic and ammo.
>>29353562
>buying a knockoff hat
What a fag
>>29353010
You start with a car color like black, then Raipur of what toy want to keep black.
Then apply a color, add more tape to cover where you want that color to be. Add another color, tape, repeat until all your colors are on.
