It's starting to feel like spring up here. It's nice.
>>29362346
Every time it gets up to 50 degrees here, it fucking snows again. Snowed a majority of the day, today.
My bet is that it gets back to 50 over the weekend and snows again on Monday.
>>29362346
>>29362346
Starting to feel like fucking summer here.
Which FUCKING BLOWS. I don't like to be hot.
>>29362260
you guys said rmr but i wanted you to say mro because that's what i really want
>>29362321
gross, do this one instead
>>29362403
Yeah, just had what I think is winter's last dying gasp.
>>29362420
just use that rmr now and get an mro later
My dad's birthday is coming up and he's always admired my AR so I'm thinking about building him one. Doesn't have to be fancy and he's kindve old school so I was thinking like a retro M16A2 look. Anyone have a line on a cheapo parts kit?
>>29362240
>mro
Why? I've never seen a micro dot with as good as a dot as full sized. Id say go for a PRO
>>29362253
>no adjustable brightness
Absolutely unacceptable. After YEARS of this shit I figured people would learn how terrible this is for red dots.
>>29362415
Yeahhhh, it's gonna feel like its going to be a hot summer here. I'm not gonna like it either.
>>29362415
The only good thing about summer is that it usually stays reasonably clear which encourages me to keep my car cleaner than winter or spring.
Fall is best.
>>29362420
b-but I already did that one
I'll do this one after I finish >>29362185
>>29362446
I didn't exactly recommend it because it's a particularly good optic.

Not here. Dust storms, pollen tornadoes, actual tornadoes...yeah. Summer is worst.

Agreed. A good excuse to go shoot tasty living things. My freezer's already getting lower than I'd like. The unusually mild winter meant I did dick-all in the way of snow goose hunting this last winter, and that's my normal staple food.

The only trick to a2 is the upper. It's a real bitch to find a fixed carry handle a2 upper.

>pollen tornadoes happen mostly in spring here
Jealous.
We start mid-March with the blooming trees, then transition into the pine trees, then the oaks and maples, then the actual flowers, then the wild grasses/weeds.
Then, right as we start to occasionally hit freezing temps around mid October, we get mold storms because it's raining every other day.
Then we get ice storms all winter long while only getting ~1 foot of total accumulation.
Then it starts all over.

Whereabouts do you live?
If it makes you feel better my timeline for the yearly pollen assault might be off a bit, plus I'm bad about identifying seasons.
The way I determine what season it is is like so:
If most days are in the 70's to low 80's, it's probably spring, if it's 80+ most days it's summer, 50-70's is fall, and anything else is winter.

So you are spic?
However. Failzero a shit. Why? Year ago guy came on here and asking for help from expert. Guy had jamming problem specifically FTFE and with help of some another anon and me we narrowed it down to bolt and fish the detail of the jam out of the guy and guy explained that bolt would not return to battery with round chambered but instead stopped at like 3/4th of way with rear of round out of bolt and sit its ass almost right on ejector. Then picture of bolt face was requested and behold i saw the issue. Then i made a shoop'd photo to clerely show the guy where's problem. I just now went on my laptop trying to find it and found it but couldnt find the original version without my digital drawing over it.
I circled the specific point responsible in red. The purple was where beveling should ideally be. There should not be big celestial bevel around ejector which created sharp point circled in red. Qualit bolt have subtle bevel around the ejector not agressive lazy anhled bevel that creat two sharp point circled in red.
The blue line is where verdge is and the orange and green is where rounding need to be done. The shoop was coarsely done because it was done on mobile with limited zoom in the app.
The problem was that the machining of beveling around ejector was done incorrectly and not as well as another manufacturer which rounded away all sharp angle.
Look at your toolcraft or another quality bolt and compare it against shit teir stuipd failzero bolt in upcoming pic.

First day of spring we got a blizzard from about 3AM to noon. Was 67* and sunny by 3PM. Never dropped below 40* so nothing stuck, which caused some pretty bad flash floods (even killed an old lady). Hadn't had a day below 50* since 5 January before that.

Nice trips. I tried other hand guards, some more expensive than the troy, some less... none of them felt as good in my hands. I sold pic related to my dad, but I liked the troy so much I got one for my new build.

Windows, natural light is your best friend. Dusk and dawn are the best times if you're doing it outside.

I've been considering putting a proper rail on my precision AR. I'm a little tired of the free float tube.
>>29362976
That doesn't help that I'm usually taking photos at night. I take them outside when I think to take them.
I usually only take photos for a specific reason though, I don't need 3000 photos of my AR. So go figure.
I was really disappointed how dim this photo came out though, blurred it all up. I dunno if I bumped a setting or something, because the room seemed well lit.

However look at pic from this post >>29362639
See that ridiculous celestial bevel right of the ejector responsible for two sharp verdex in red circles? The rightmost purple digital mark in pic's right over the bevel that shouldnt be of this angle and size.
That bevel shouldnt be there. At least not that angled and big. It should be very subtle and two verdex in red circle should be rounded.
LIKE YOUR QUALITY BOLT. Compare them.
>>29362931
are you asking for transparent?
Also, is that a magnifier behind the scope?
I've considered selling my 13.5" VRS-T, but I can't decide if I really want to. If you're interested in it gimmie an offer.
>>29362976
Yeah I talked to you (yesterday?) about the MCSR.
I forgot what you wanted for it.
>>29363021
>are you asking for transparent?
Yes.
>Also, is that a magnifier behind the scope?
Wut? It's a fixed LaRue rear BUIS, and a Vortex Strikefire in an ADM mount (and a VITAL-2 IR laser on the quadrail).
>I've considered selling my 13.5" VRS-T, but I can't decide if I really want to. If you're interested in it gimmie an offer.
too long, I need a 12" rail for an exposed rifle length gas block.
It's a bull barrel, so I doubt it will fit under most rail/hand guards (unless they're made to fit a suppressor).
What is the capacity of a 30 round STANAG filled with .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM? How would these fair in an ar pistol?
15 hours and still no power.
I just want to shitpost but 4G sucks. :(
>>29363052
For the magnifier behind the optic I was asking about on the long range rifle.
I'll do the transparent for your rifle tomorrow, I'm getting sleepy early tonight for some reason, bed soon for me.
Diamondhead says the ID of the VRS-T is 1.36in, but it's too long so it doesn't matter. :)
>>29362999
Are you using an actual camera or a phone? If camera, and you can control it manually, put it in aperture priority and sit it on a tripod/sturdy surface. It'll take 1-10 seconds to snap the photo with indoor lighting, but it works. This picture is an example of that, taken at night with a longer shutter speed on a tripod.

Ten rounds reliably with either, can usually cram an 11th in but causes feed issues for the first couple rounds.
Recoil is STOUT. Pretty much requires shouldering your not-a-stock. Also requires having a not-a-stock.

>>29363077
Phone, it's an LG G4 so the camera is actually pretty good, but I usually let it do the work because I don't know anything about photography. Pretty much all my photos are taken with it, and I can get some pretty good results.
>>29363092
Just finished buying everything for this new AR, nothing else I need right now. The VTAC is a mixture of popular and hard to find though, I bet you could sell it on ARFCOM in a hurry.
>>29363073
>that little amount of snow
Why are you complaining again?
>>29363100
Well you have stuff like .338 Whisper Mk2, but that's set up for subsonic.
Also .450 Bushmaster, but being a straight-walled .45 it has feed issues and requires proprietary mags that suck (though if you get them tweaked right it's a hella good round).
>>29363017
and dude it's late. no judgments.
Got the pic up and lookin it over. If I were to take one of mine, should I do it from the same angle? Hoping you wouldn't mind taking a look.
>>29363100
>why can't a shorter tube be used?
If you mean a buffer tube, it CAN. But it's painful to shoot and hard to control due to the stout recoil, so is a bad idea.
>>29363088
It is LTE, but I'm charging it off my truck battery every now and then. This thing sucks down the battery life when you are off wifi.
>>29363129

I've liked all the Anderson uppers I've bought. 300blk sounds like the cheapest way to build bigger than a standard .556 pistol. I'd like to go bigger but it sounds like a huge pain in the ass.
>>29362172
>>29362172
I also posted this in the QTDDTOT thread, but what the hell.
I'm looking to build a custom AR. Now... where the fuck do I start?
I'm mostly into handguns, the only rifles I have are a Ruger 10/22 my dad got me when I was 5, and the obligatory moist nugget. I know very little about modern guns, ARs being no exception.
I've heard that when ordering the parts and building one from scratch, I'm gonna spend almost as much money on tools as I do the actual rifle. Is this true?
Help a newfag out.
>>29363209
>Do you have an IR laser for your rifle yet?
I've had one since the week I bought the monocle.

>>29363221
All my cheap parts are PSA from when I lived like 10 minutes from their storefront and could get stripped blems for ~$30-40 all day.
Already have a .300blk rifle and like it. Surprisingly accurate, very very mild on recoil, and even without a can it's significantly quieter than a 5.56.
>>29363269
a 300 blk upper is on my list of things to get from PSA, after I've gotten one of their Glock 9mm AR lowers (which are unobtanium at the moment)
>>29363269
That quiet? I've alawys disliked .556 noise , I don't like wearing earpro hunting and I've worried about totally fucking my ears, 300blk may be worth the cost.
>>29363229
let's see how much did I spend on tools:
2 craftsman punch sets (normal and roll pin): $20 each I think (probably could have just used the normal one)
cheapass chinese vice (harborfreight): $30 (not needed if buying a complete upper)
cheap torque wrench: $30 (not needed if buying a complete upper)
ar multitool: $15
cheap screwdriver set: $15
if you really had to you could do it with a vice grip for 99% of the work. most people probably have that and screwdrivers already. buy the ar tool and you'll be good to go. maybe the punch set too.

He's got a 30-06 with a decent Nikon scope, 30-30 with a shit side scope, some .22 rifle, a 12ga semi shitty, and a Beretta 92 in .40 (bought in the 80s when FBI introduced it) he's a good shot, better with the shotgun than most. He just wants one because cheaper ammo/is fucking cool factor and he's turning into a prepper as he ages.
>>29363235
Ah, nice. I'm not entirely familiar with all of the laser/light devices besides the PEQ-15/16, so I wasn't entirely sure if that's what I was looking at in the above picture.
I miss doing night shoots.
>>29363292
yeah. I have a 16" .300blk wearing a Saker brake, and with 220gr factory subs it's quieter than an unsuppressed MP5 shooting 147gr 9mm. With my 150gr subsonic handloads it's even quieter (and still cycles, yay pistol gas and a fuckhueg gas port). I've gotten it to cycle with BHO all the way down to 125gr using Sierra Prohunters and H110 while staying under 1000fps.
Unsuppressed it's not *quite* hearing safe. With my Saker on it my wife has been within arm's reach while on the phone and the other person had no idea I was shooting.
>>29363374
The VITAL-2 was a contemporary of the PEQ-2, and very popular with SOCOM before the PEQ-15 took over as the standard.
It's got a lot of great functionality, but piss poor switching.

I originally had a .30cal version of an A2 on it, and can't say that I notice a difference with subs. They just don't produce enough gas to really work a brake/compensator.
Supers are a different story entirely and the main reason I opted for a brake instead of the 3-prong MAAD mount.
>>29363133
Whoa... Just to be clear. You have failzero?
If you have Failzero bolt which have that same twin sharp verdex in red circle yes you should round them out. Do it by having cotton tip laying nearby and depress the ejector with one of dental-like pick as you laid hobby or small file atop that verdex and push down the file down on the verdex n pull. The verdex should be instantly partially flatten in one or two short stroke of file repeat for another verdex. Then round out any rough mark with medium stone or very light pass with finer file. It doesnt need to be mirror smooth n shint but if you want go beyond feel free. Your finger and hand might get tired from fighting the ejector take break ideally dont let ejector up until you swipe away all or majority of steel dust with cotton tip.
Disassmbling the ejector is possible but if you never done it before never mind.
If you have regular quality bolt that lack incorrect retarded failzero beveling, leave it alone.
>>29363429
Oh ok, how's the cycle speed with the pistol gas and standard ammunition?

Fuck I want to shoot again soon...
>>29363442
Gotta play with the gas block. With current settings it will literally smash a case flat against the brass deflector and is running at probably over 1500rpm, I can get about 3 shots off before it fucks up.
>>29363431
And dont file down the whole area just until the sharp tip verdex is just flat tip.
Like
/\ to / \ after single or two pass of file or coarse stone.

Man. If I didn't have bills to pay, I'd sure love to recreate my military loadout.
I guess it'll just have to be over time. I almost got a way with a free plate carrier, but I was a fool and wore it on a Battalion hike. Naturally some hotshot Major managed to somehow spot that it was an older carrier and made me return it to supply.
We had a truck flip on a night convoy, too. Gunner was ejected and lost his PVS-14, as well as getting royally fucked up. The entire company ended up searching a whole day and deforesting a large section of the mountain for that thing. By the end, everyone was ready to pocket the motherfucker. Turns out, the HMMWV had rolled over them and buried them into the ground, so they were broken.
>>29363431
>Fail Zero
Correct.
I'd actually feel more comfortable taking the ejector apart. I'm familiar. Plus it would isolate so the file doesn't go rogue. And I'd be able to better contain the filing dust
>>29363467
Your ANSI-tier graphic actually makes perfect sense. I'm still don't know exactly where we're talking about as I'm not looking at my bcg atm.
thanks for the replies cg
I'll put a pic up asap

I need to get myself a decent knife.
Got everything except my ssa-e installed.
>>29362639
So you're pointing to the corners of the semicircular shelf that partially surrounds the end of the ejector? The corners shred the ejector if they're sharp, so round em?
Lemme know if I'm understanding this correctly

Those aspens or?
Beautiful shot bro
>>29363540
>>29363546
Yeah my subs are....anemic. Running a full-power super through it without adjusting the gas is not good.

at some point I'll build another carbine. it was a nice gun

M4A1 clone. Other then the lower its about as close as I can get. Trijicon TA01, Knights rail, Knights front grip, Surefire M951, ARMS quick mount, CMMG 14.5 crome lined barrel along with other stuff. I am very happy with it
>>29363577
I would say so, can you just turn it down and manually cycle the bolt for the subsonic?
>>29363613
I suppose, but I shoot subs 99% of the time.
>>29363349
Well that sucks to hear.
>>29363624
Oh, are there such a thing as a two position di gas blocks?
>>29363229
If you buy a prebuilt upper you can assembly the lower with basic garage tools and a set of roll pin punches. I bought my set for $15.
>>29363420
Wow.
>>29363569
Haha yeah massive aspen grove. Good eye. The lighting is pretty weak, it was overcast. Would have been a good shot with better lighting. You see what I was going for though.
That was a great day, fantastic hike with views, plus some good shooting.

i could use a pressure switch

Really? No one? Pls R8... :(
>>29363644
Yep. And 3-position and a few others.
I like the Noveske Switchblock, even though I don't use one. I needed mine to fit under a handguard, being pistol gas and all. I use a Seekins setscrew.
My home built gas piston AR pistol. Fun to play with. May SBR it at some point soon.

comfy, lightweight, durable.
can't be beaten IMO
Don't have a picture of it alone but in the center is my play AR with the slide fire stalk. Fun as hell to blast away with. Puts on a good show. I beat on it hard as you can tell by the barrel discoloration.
>>29363704
Thank you.
You have a fine rifle also sir.
>>29363704

late night minimalist goodness
sans vfg for your viewing pleasure I guess
bout to pass out though
bcg pic for CG gon half to wait until dawn
>>29363512
What barrel length is that?
Cryptic BCG?
The handguard is gucci.
>>29363731
You've got some nice stuff man. I would seriously consider one of the binary trigger systems if they could be made more reliable.
>>29363715
They look sweet and lightweight is always appreciated. I haven't actually shouldered one yet. How is the cheek weld? Does the back end o the "J" flex at all? Is it tight on the buffer tube?
>>29363804
20". Yep, mystic bronze. And thanks, I like it a lot. Stock feels great as well, though I haven't played with it yet to really tune it.
>>29363843
Ooh the fluted barrel is pretty nice too. Overall looks likes a nice SPR build. The picture probably isn't doing it justice. Weird sheets dude.
>>29363802
Haha yeah they do look good.
You've got a Radical Firearms upper right? I went to their showroom today. It seems like they are doing good stuff, and they have a great warranty.
>>29363804
Thanks. I like your pistol very much. Who makes your arm brace. I would like something like that on my gas piston.
Few of my friends are getting binary triggers. I am going to wait and see how well they work. But I have been thinking about it.
>>29363804
yeah my Minimalist locks up better than the MOE and CTR stocks I've had on the gun.
I haven't noticed any flex on the bottom of the buttpad either.
cheekweld is nice. It's my go-to stock at this point
pic unrelated, the MOE from my AK on the AR
The feeling of swapping good parts with new good parts. Replaced my ADM Recon 20MOA with the ADM Delta.
Turret visibility prone is far better now, and I didn't need the cant for 5.56 anyway.

They were meant as a joke for when my girlfriend came over a few years ago but are actually pretty nice.

Hey guys, I'm new to rifles as I've never owned one. Due to increasing troubling times in the world, I've found the need to acquire one.
What would be the best budget AR-15 for under 900$, that also has a dust flap, forward assist, and is bored in .223/5.56?
Serious suggestions please. I'm all ears what what you guys suggest.
>>29363896
Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can fill you in on the brace. It works very well.
>>29363967
Build or bought?
What tools do you already have?
What state are you in?
Does that $900 include optic?
>>29363983
Bought.
No tools.
Florida.
No optics.
>>29363943
>I didn't need the cant for 5.56 anyway.
Truth. I'm getting out to 800 yds before my hand loads are trans sonic, and I have turret to spare with a 0 MOA mount (and a much more long range-dedicated rig).
>>29363883
Pretty cool bro! Glad it stuck with you in a positive light. All I can say for sure is the fit and finish on mine is exceptional. The handguard seems very robust. I've got no loyalty to the brand - waiting for it to choke - but I'm keeping an open mind.
[spoiler] Got a 2nd lower in progress...gonna be a while, but it's definitely gonna be 100% home built [/spoiler]
Hoping to get some serious lead downrange this easter, stretch its legs
>>29363987
Do you have access to someone with tools?
Dad, brother, uncle, etc?
>>29363997
I have plenty of standard tools, as I'm a mechanic. But armorer's tools I have none of.
>>29363987
Are you willing to order online and have it shipped to an FFL?
>>29364011
Absolutely. That's what I'm wanting to do if needed.
Better picture of them before some of them were finished. I have one more AR project to do. I want an M16A1 to round out my AR platform mil spec collection.
>>29364006
>as I'm a mechanic
Sounds like you're pretty much already there, then.
You may need to buy an armorer's tool but the rest is fairly common stuff.
The tool wouldn't run you much if you are willing to build one yourself.
>>29363489
Ok gr8
>>29363526
Yes. almost. But that twin verdex shredding the ejector isnt the concern, its them shredding and arresting the rear of casing.
the malfunction anon had from year ago with failzero was like
> be newbie with newbie built ar
> be at range fixin to shoot
> insert mag into unloaded gun
> pull n let go of ch
> aim
> fire
> blam
> clunk (not clack newbie didnt notice this)
> pull trigger
> click
> inspect
> bcg not in battery and rear of the casing is visible
> the rear of casing isnt into the cup inside of bolt but outside and all wrong like pic related.
This happened because when chambering round bounce its ass around few time as it approach fully chambered and this time it done got it ass caught by that two twin vertex.
Sorry slow response was just watching death wish 5.
Aaaand im resuming the movie.
>>29363967
Simplest way out is a Ruger AR 556. We have them for 649$. Good quality and a fine starting point for a custom rifle.
>>29364047
I'd rather buy one outright right now. But in the future I plan on building.
>>29364057
Oh yes, I trust Ruger. My mother owns a Ruger pistol that is great.
>>29364057
The Ruger is a fine gun but you can get a S&W M&P Sport II for less money online.
M&P's have been around for longer so I'd say they have a much better track record. My own M&P has been great for thousands of rounds as well.
>>29364067
It is one of the better entry level AR platform rifles.
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/11/jerrycatania/gun-review-ruger-ar-556/
>>29364018
I would order this to the FFL:
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-complete-lower-magpul-str-edition-black-no-magazine.html
And then this to your house with the 1/7 twist option as well as phosphate BCG, mil-spec charging handle, and the end cap for the quad rail.
https://www.hardenedarms.com/ecProduct_188_27
After shipping and transfer costs you're looking at about $650.
You've got $250 left now for magazines, a sling, some sling mounts, some rail covers and maybe a front grip of some sort, maybe an ALG ACT trigger, and some sort of compensator. That $250 will get eaten up fast. I guarantee it.
Most importantly budget for a decent optic and lots of ammo to practice shooting with.
>>29364037
Impeccable taste. And I'm not just saying that.
>>29364086
>>29364094
Thanks, will take note and research. You guys are very helpful.
>>29364100
NP good luck.
>>29364100
DO NOT BUY HARDENED ARMS
>>29364100
I suggest against the Ruger or the S&W simply because they come with fixed A2 front sights. They are perfectly capable rifles but if you want to go with an optic you might want the clear sight picture afforded by not having the A2 front sight. To avoid the railed gas block meme simply get a free float setup from the start. Just my $0.02
>>29364037
One hell of a collection. I can't stop looking at the picture. The M16A4 is really nice. I like the High Power as well.
>>29364057
>>29364079
My dad picked up an AR556 for about $600, it's been pretty good. Trigger sucks, but 1:8 CHF barrel is a pretty good perk for that price. No issues at all.
>>29364037
I'm 'mirin' you hard breh
slick collection you've got there
>>29364054
This kind of malfunction often can be powered through if one have red coded spring+h2 and stronger combo plus gas system powerful to reliably cycle that.
You can experience similar malfunction just by pulling ch and riding the ch forward at various speed over and over it will happen but with some ar it wont. Guys be careful when doing this you dont want to ND.
Go try it. Its interesting. And when it happen from hand cycling it can be cleared by pushing forward assist or short pull n go of the charging handle.
Its all timing of round bouncing it ass around as it feed and it rarely happen while actual firing because the speed is faster (round dont have time to bounce its ass as extreme amount unlike slower rate of medium speed hand cycling) and the momentum overcome it easily.
>>29364131
I've got two and there is an Anon on here with one as well. I like mine just fine. Have you owned one?
>>29364149
I don't need to own it to know its not of good quality. PSA, S&W, and Ruger are the cheapest anyone should go.
>>29364135
Thanks. That's just a part of whats in the safe. I was hosting a birthday party for a young man who plays COD and wanted to try the real thing.
As to your worried about front sites you can remove the fixed site in a matter of minutes. Also as I have 2 ACOGs on AR's with mil spec front sites I can tell you that you can hardly see them. Its a non issue unless you are shoot more then 300 yards.
Thanks again
>>29364183
Post a picture of your rifle friend.
What AR products have you owned and tried?
I have two Hardened Arms uppers and they've with about 1k rounds through them combined and no issues so far.
>>29364140
Thank you sir
>>29363943
That's a hell of a scope you got there.
>>29364206
PSA, Anderson, Rainier Arms, and BCM. Hardened Arms and Radical Arms are both trash. I don't understand why they are both showing up here now. PSA is cheap while still maintaining quality.
The safe
>>29364135
One more question before I go.
If I buy the completed lower and completed upper, do I need any tools to put it together? Or will it fit right onto the receiver with the pins?
looks like i have to wait another six months to get a fucking AR, since my crackhead brother broke into my place and stole my fucking safe that i had lagscrewed to the slab.
i had enough saved up for a Daniel Defense, a used aimpoint, and a case of ammo and mags.
its nice to know the cops claim they dont have enough evidence to bust his ass, even with him being caught on video carrying the fucker out of my apartment into his car, with the license plate clearly visible.
maybe i should just be a snitch for them, like him, his girlfriend who is cucking him with a guy who has hepatitis C and several other STD's, her baby daddy, and the guy she is cucking him with.
i should have filled the safe full of wet shit, and hid the money in the walls.
oh well. enjoy your funs for me fellas. I'm going to have to live vicariously through you.
>>29364309
Nope. Pins go into holes and rifle is ready to go.
>>29364323
That's fucking awesome. Thanks for the help.
>>29364312
WOW Shitty deal man
>>29364246
You make the claim the Hardened Arms and Radical Firearms are trash.
What is your evidence? How do you back this claim up?
Post a picture of your rifle friend.
>>29364309
It'll snap right together.
>>29364312
Try a bank, I hear they keep money pretty safe.
>>29364309
Easy. Took me longer to type this reply then it takes to mate the Upper with the Lower.
>>29364346
>Post a picture of your rifle friend.
When will this meme die? Both your guns are ugly pieces of shit, I don't need to prove anything to you.
>>29364340
yeah it was. when i build one up, it wont be the greatest AR ever made, but it will be mine, and i cant wait for you guys to mock it mercilessly.
>>29364347
the last time i had a bank acct, my bank let some guy withdraw a shitload of money in a wire transfer to africa. the bank before that, they had 450,000 bucks went into and out of my bank acct over a weekend.
i trust not the chosen people with my money.
>>29364376
Sounds like you enjoy lying on the internet.
I want build this gun, what is? Good gun?
>>29364409
Looks like a .308 mk12 mod 1. Yes good gun
>>29364409
dpms mk12 .308 with an a2 stock
>>29364363
You don't need to prove anything to anyone, but you came in here with
>DO NOT BUY HARDENED ARMS
Might want to back your shit up or else you kinda just seem like a loud asshole throwing his unsubstantiated opinion around.
Look I'm completely open to the possibility that the two uppers that I have from Hardened Arms are pieces of shit. But I'm not going to take that proposition as true without some sort of evidence or reasoning, or at least a picture of the fucking gucci rifle that you own that might lend credence to your opinion.
To the anon looking to get an AR, quite reasonably considering the current political climate, you should consider Hardened Arms. They have free float quad rail complete uppers for quite a low price. I own two and can attest that I'm happy with mine. There is Anon on here who owns one and his happy with his. Be prepared to wait though as they are 3-4 weeks out right now with orders.
>>29364384
no i just had a shitty bank, because i needed one to cash my paycheck at, and pay bills. the manager had gotten fired for writing people in her family loans at 0% APR, and overchargin people for all kinds of shit. the second bank, had sent me a giant ass monthly statement, with all the in and out transfers, that ended up with me getting my bank account shut down, and questioned by a bunch of feds and a really nice secret service guy who reminded me of gary shandling,. i gave them all the info they wanted, and had nothing to hide. im just glad as fuck i had a lawyer. that was in 2006. havent had a bank account since then.
>>29364442
Are you making this up on the spot?
>>29364435
It's cheap for a reason. If you want to be a poorfag then go ahead but don't tell someone with zero experience to buy a piece of shit just cause you can't have something better.
>>29364442
I know this is fake but join a local credit union or something.
>>29364452
i wish. it was s six month bunch of shit, where my lousy $500 was frozen, and i had to go to a hadji mart to cash checks
>>29364460
His budget is $900. I suggested a build within budget, using parts that I can personally attest to with 1st hand experience.
You still have made no supporting argument for why Hardened Arms is shit other than that the price is low.
I'll repeat again. Mine work fine and I'm confident suggesting to someone else to try a Hardened Arms product if they are shopping in that pricepoint.
Post a picture of your fucking gun dude or give me an actual reason for why Hardened Arms is shit and I will shut the fuck up so fast.
>>29364430
that's cheaper than I expected, fucking awesome.
These are renowned for their accuracy, correct?
>>29364376
Lots of BS Shit posters on here. I have almost stopped posting my stuff here because of the "Mall Ninjas" running their mouths. You be proud of what you build. Screw the shit posters.
>>29364495
Yeah they are pretty accurate. Prepare to pay $1000+ for a good scope though
>>29364521
Well I was planning on getting a SCAR 17. I'd rather get a good AR style rifle AND a scope than just a really nice special snowflake gun
>>29364528
If I was getting a .308 I'd get a scar.
>>29364528
AR10s are not standardized like AR15s so be aware that if you want to swap out parts you might have a conflict. If you are buying a prebuilt dpms gun you shouldn't have any problems outta the box. Do a little research on the topic before you pull the trigger
OK I am out guys.
Good thread. Nice change from the Shit posting that I normally see.
Night.
About guys arguing about whenever if hardened arm's good.
Keep in mind to this point i have done zero research and only like two thread on them came across me.
I do not recommend harden arm nor warn of harden arm but here's fact to me.
Unlike psa harden arm doesnt have enough guy shooting enough round out of it. Theres no rental machine gun shop or carbine class using harden arm to my knowledge. Meanwhile multiple machine gun rental shop and carbine class have psa and shot thousands after thousands not like average lightweight review of hardened arm of few box of ammo to one or two thousand of rounds psa have alot guy taking it well above 5k mark plenty past 10k.
But from what i saw on here the quad railed handguard that came with hardened arm use jam nut mounting method which's absolute bottom of barrel design BUT I have first hand experience with those. I used to own ar with at3 tactical branded potentially chinese made quad rail with same mounting method and it fared fine and is sound but i have never pushed its bound.
Although i did my personal favourite simple test of pinching the handguard and barrel to see how much handguard flex the less the stronger it is.
Oh and golly i have yet to come across freefloated handguard that flex more than that cheap shit.
Although i will do through research in them and return with my verdict.
But so far from small information i have on them i out them quite below PSA and equal to ATI
>>29364850
Not to mention that psa is open about their supplier which have much longer good reputation.
Meanwhile hardened arm i dont know.
>>29362420
Muar! If you buy an MRO make sure you buy it from a place with a good return policy. Here is my experience with one:
It was my first red dot I had ordered so I was super disappointed when the dot was jelly bean shaped with a bunch of lines running through it as I thought I had a astigmatism. Even though my eyesight is pretty good. I returned it and got an ACOG.
A couple weeks later at the range a guy let me look through his rifle with an Aimpoint Pro on it. The dot was way more clear and crisp. It was also a lot smaller than the MRO dot which leads me to believe it isn't a true 2 MOA reticle.
I'm not sure if it was just my MRO or that they are all like that. So yeah I would just buy it from a place that doesn't charge a restocking fee incase it isn't something you expect.
Also before you have decided you want to keep it make sure you tape up the tip of the flat head screw driver when removing the battery lid. The anodization is really easy to remove.
Has anyone else had experience with the MRO?
>>29363700
Noice.
>>29364057
My buddy got an early production lemon, I've never even heard of a chamber warping before, we cleaned the shit out of it and unfired rounds would still get stuck. Rogers customer service was awesome about it though, they replaced the barrel and shipped it for free.
>>29364460
Post your rifles you nogunz faggit, nogunz are as bad as camwhores. So tits or gtfo.
>>29364698
Thanks for stopping by, digging that a2, sleep tight.
>>29363308
Looks fine to me. For $600 it doesn't seem like a bad rifle.
>>29363609
TA31 would be closer, but that's not a major detractor. It's a really nice build.
>>29364430
>>29364409
>>29364425
Haha what? That's a KAC SR-25.
>>29364495
Yes, SR-25s are known for their accuracy, which is why they're so expensive.
