Probably that, and the charging handle.

Sup /ARG/ faggots,

Whats the best 5.56 magazine out there? I recently picked up a bunch of FN Scar 16 mags and I bought some colt 5.56.

The colts had the light green follower and it bows forward when pushed down. FNs are solid though.

I'm huge on collecting AK mags but I have no idea how to get into collecting AR mags.

Hi friends.

My new LWRC ICDI has some play in between the upper and lower.

I see online this is common to ARs and particularly LWRC due to them needing compatibility with Colt and FN lowers.

Its triggering my OCD like crazy but I know its supposed to be normal.

Anyone else have this issue?

It came with a lower tensioning screw integrated in the lower receiver but when I crank it up to stop the sloppiness I cant take the takedown pin out.

Please someone help I feel sad my $1600 rifle has slop that my $800 RRA doesnt. But this comes with being milspec?
>>
>>29358572
Never enough

>>29358586

I assume others have this issue? (or non-issue)

Just no

>>29358679
Because I live in MD and all ARs must be HBARS.

I wanted something with rail-capability, ambi safety, and overall high quality(as much as possible with limited options).

My choices in ARs are
• Colt LE6721 HBAR
• LWRC IC DI and M6IC (Pistons)
• Custom SS Billet Guns
• Windham HBC Carbine
• Build it yourself (but I am not 21 so no lower so that was an issue)

And overall I heard good things about LWRC and their IC series.

I just sold some guns to finally get a nice rifle in 5.56. And in store I didnt notice the play but at home I did and kinda panicked because no other guns I own have the issue.

If I can put an ACOG on it and it doesnt effect reliability or accuracy I will just try not to worry then.

Didn't realize this? How strictly is it enforced? As I understand, there isn't really even a set standard as to what's a heavy barrel and what's not, I feel like they just banned anything with the grenade launcher profile/cutouts for obvious (and pointless) reasons

If I order a rifle to an FFL, will either the retailer or the FFL do anything?

Best thing to do is just live with it. For 95% of red dot shooting a little star effect won't hurt you at all, for precision work you should have the time to crank the brightness down a little. Good lighting/outdoor light should cut down on the effects of astigmatism though, at least it does for me.

Yes, the FFL's self-police and go by the MSP list of what is and isnt legal.

You have to get a legitimate HBAR-marked barreled AR. LWRC makes fluted HBARs so they passed the scrutiny. And also they are made in Cambridge MD so I think MD and MSP would lose alot of potential taxes if they banned MD-made firearms.

It varies wildly man. Some will, some wont. I know in the Army every M4/M16 was different. Some fit so tight it was hard to take them apart, others were as sloppy as a prostitute in Compton.

Building a precision Grendel upper.
Is there a substantial difference between 20" + 24"
I realize in precision shooting weight is your friend (in the right places, stock ect.) so is fluting a good idea or no?
I want the recoil to be pussy gentle, because I want more rounds on target in faster succession, not because I cant hang.

Any thoughts on all this?

Don't tighten it much then, just enough to eliminate most of the play. Accuracy would only be affected if its wobbling around when you shoulder the rifle.

OK Ive seen some of their advertising and some of their stuff seemed neat

Pretty positive I'm keeping the buffer tube black to I thought I'd do the stock in coyote.

Also thought about doing the stock, grip, and vfg on the khaki.

But right now I have the vfg brown. Thinking about buying another in black and keeping the grip black and the stock black but the buffer tube brown.

I've got play in between my Hardened Arms 10.5" and a PSA lower.

I've got zero play between my Hardened Arms 16" upper and Aero Precision lower.

So I handled one of those Cobalt Kinetics ARs today, the ones that look like space guns.

https://www.cobaltkinetics.com/product/bamf-edge/

It honestly felt pretty good. The balance is spot on and the trigger is pretty damn fantastic. The ambidextrous forward assists are certainly interesting. There are literally two forwards assists, one on each side of the rifle. All in all though pretty memetastic.

I also went to the Radical Firearms showroom. Very nice people. They said they are 8 weeks out on production right now, and are finishing 200 rifles per day. I like the look of their forged lower and would buy one if the price were right, but they don't sell stripped forged lowers.

I also scored 3 used PMAGs at Full Armor Firearms, probably the most bad ass gun store I've been to in my entire life. The salesguy went through and checked the dates on about 20 of the PMAGs which were already in rifles to be sold. I got three, two black and one FDE, that are dated pre July 2013.

Hardened and radical are two different brands on the game garbage. My radical upper had the barrel nut torqued to at least 120ft/lb and didn't use shims like they were supposed do on that hand guard nut.

They also refuse to tell anyone who makes their barrels. The extensions have been known to come loose because they nitride them after the extension has been torqued down instead of before.

Sold it to cabelas for more than I paid.
It had a terrible bore and mid matched bolt. I was originally going to re barrel it but never got around to it.

Cabelas never even looked down the bore when I sold it to them, they just thought the stock looked great and threw $400 at me.

Yeah I love BCM but as soon as I can afford Larue or KAC on a regular basis you'll probably see me switch hats.

Tragic luck farn

I have my upper a really good look when it came in. Determined a few things right off the bat:
the good
>There was *zero* play between the upper and lower (both Cerro forge)
>handguard features antirotation tabs so barrel nut/extension issues should be self correcting
>fit/finish on the upper components is tight and clean in general

the bad:
>does not appear to have any washers for the A2 flashhider (is this normal?)
>takedown pretty much require a tool - detents are quite snug
>no discernible gap between the gas block and barrel shoulder

All that said, my function tests went great. I specifically wanted to make sure the T2 buffer I had cycle fully (for BHO) with a full magazine (on principle). It has a midlength gas system which is why I wanted to be especially sure it cycled fully. Needless to say she ran without a single hiccup as I zeroed my buis and red dot

Definitely keeping a close eye on it, but goddamn it feels solid.

Got curious - I emailed them last night about the barrel manufacturer and vanadium content (listed as 4150V Chrome Moly I believe). Letcha know if I hear back

neat
Is that the 13.5" on an 18" barrel?
>>29361193
The handguard isd too heavy, but it's really comfortable to hold.

>stop liking what I don't like!
no that's ok, I'm happy with my choices.
also the scope is pretty nice, works great, crystal clear with lots of light. the stock is super comfy too. and since I'm not a little pussy I can carry it even though its 2 lbs heavier than yours!

glad I was able to trigger someone though.
>>
>>29361305
Yeah I've used it before.

Just being an ass because this is the internet and that's what people do. It is p. comfy.

15" on a 20" barrel. built for long range.
>>
>>29361330
Glad you're happy with it, but I guarantee that scope is crap. I'm sorry if that bothers you but I can almost guarantee you'll be replacing it before too long.

Everything else was me just being a dick to be a dick.

Out of curiosity, whose barrel is that?

Yes, but that's a decent looking shear lashing at least.

>I'm sorry if that bothers you
it really doesn't. I've been deer hunting with a $60 3-9x35mm scope for years and honestly I have never had a problem. I have also used a friends gun with a $1500 scope and it is a lot better but for me, nah.
maybe one day when I have more disposable income I will upgrade the scope but for now I like this setup.

>whose barrel is that?
AR-Stoner, wylde. Others get 1/2 MOA with it but I have not had a chance to test it. I got stainless because I like the silver look though the handguard.

Uh oh, I kinda want her for this now.
But it'd probably cost $500 or something.
>>29361345
Neat, I've got a 13.5in on my 20".
>>
>>29361423
AR-Stoner makes good barrels. I truly believe the 1/2 MOA claim.

Question for the AR newfag.

Is something like link related worth looking at, or should I just close the tab and never look at such things again?

Close the tab and never speak of such heresy again.
