In with new optic since I don't own a bipod.
>>29374569
Woah it came!
Looks good. I need to order another PA MD ADS.
Check out the Tango Down cover.
>>29374543
In with future bolter
>>29374543
My bipod doesn't sit flush with my muzzle
>>29374569
w-where is your forward assist
>>29374543
Am bipod now
>>29374586
I'm planning to get one next time I order something, I just need to figure out if I wand OD or black.
Last night before the rds came in I was wondering what all the hubub was about the TD cover, and now after using the bikini cover a little I understand.
Fuck the bikini cover.
>>29374612

I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
That, TD cover, BCG/CH is all that's left for me to call this done.
>>29374625
10/10
>>29374595
I extended the legs a little for it to do that. I doubt yours can because of how stubby they are even when they're extended.
>>29374546
on an ak it's a booster but they advertise that it reduces back pressure. I'm pretty sure it would increase it. it's the same design as the one in pic

>>29374639
And I have a 20" rifle
Oh, I got a holster for the S&W now
>>29374630
When I was comparing the Sparc II and the PA MD ADS they were basically tied, except once you take into consideration the TD cover the MD ADS clearly is the better option right around $200.
Go OD is my call!
Your pistol makes me want to paint mine.
>>29374654
>Oh, I got a holster for the S&W now
Nice! Where for fuck did you find a holster for it?
>>29374630
Needs the Fatman still my friend. You need that girthy muzzle device to emphasize the c-cut in the rail.
>>29374651
Thanks dude! I'm running the KAK Flash Can right now and it doesn't actually have a baffle like the KX3. How do you like it?
>>29374543
In for my balance > your balance
Also messy workshops.
>>29374679
My oven?
>>29374693
can't say. haven't used it yet
>>29374678
Do it, it's fun.
Just make sure you're patient with it and avoid frogtape.
I used frogtape for my black layer masking and rushed my light green layer and those are the two main flawed areas of my paintjob.
Fatman is still in the cards, It's just lowest priority behind bcg/ch/fa/sling/light since it'll make it insane to shoot and is $115.
>>29374703
>My oven?
Oh shit, you've made a holster already? Cool! How much would you charge to make one for my 82?
Am ATPIAL-C now
>>29374734
The cost of materials.
>So $6
>>29374746
>>29374049
I will absolutely consider that bro thank you
>>29374290
so sayeth the father, the son, and the holy glockamole

>>29374818
More like derpy as fuck eyes
>>29374856
>cookie cutter comp
I never understood this thing, especially since I never see anyone butt it up against the rail.
>>29374813
Cool, I'll bring it over sometime.
>>29374872
I want one on a full auto SBR so I can clear out ranges in a mag or less.
>>29374874
They're really basic designs. I don't have the materials to do fancy shit.
Might make one of these though.
>>29374939
If you could do an IWB one that'd be cool, but I don't mind an OWB. Doesn't have to be fancy, I'll pay you $10 for it though.
I'm having trouble deciding on whether to build my lower, then buy a complete upper, or completely build my gun from the ground up. Anybody got any advice?
>>29374990
Build it from the ground up.
I even went so far as to turn my own barrels from blanks, but then again I had access to a lathe and experience using one. I know that's simply not possible for most people.
>>29374990
If you wan't a general AR-15 with some mods. Then build your lower and pick a generic upper.
If you want an AR that is custom to your looks and need. Start from complete scratch. Also, and AR is NEVER done.
Doing those transparent rifle I promised before bed
here's one >>29374049
>>29374049
>>29374663
Not that I remember, but if I open my mouth too far it kinda locks open, and if you apply downward pressure it locks even harder.
Fun times. Might be TMJ.
>>29374872
Apparently they work well. Too bad they're so fucking ugly even when they're not lime green.
>>29375009
>>29375019
So even if all I'm looking for is a flat top, free float, and a good barrel, ground up is still probably the best option huh.
>>29375052
Oh and a full quad rail, forgot to add that.
>>29375052
Generally yes.
You tend to either get a meh barrel and shit handguard for reasonable money, or extremely overpriced good barrel and extremely overpriced good handguard. Either way they will be absolutely plastered with the manufacturer's logo.
>>29375057
>quad rail
WHYYYYY
>>29375022
Neat, thx bby

The SCAR is the first good product they've made since the FAL. They have a lot of decent guns but very few things that stand out. And they've produced a lot of bullshit.

>>29374569
what forearm? I'm looking for one and that looks pretty good.
>>29374976
This is how it looks on the hip

rip my ammo. what is some good match shit i can buy
Implications of free float rail not covering low profile has block?
My rail is 9" and comes even to the back of the had block, tube is covered.
It's not what was intended or what I'm used to seeing. Kind of okay looking though, any reason it matters?
>>29375177
>Implications of free float rail not covering low profile has block?
If you hit the gas block super hard you might dislodge it. You probably won't though.
>>29375155
Matrix Arms Cherlie rail, 13".
It's 12.5 to the deepest section of the "C" cut, and 13.5" from the rear of the rail to the front.
The only real issue I have with it is there's no indexing tabs.
>>29375177
That's fine.
As long as the gas tube is covered it doesn't matter much.
>>29375192

Anyways, idc how it turns out I'll take it.
>>29375177
A lot of forends don't cover the gas block so they'll work with M4 front sights.
In other words, you're fine.
>>29375242
is it legal to shoot off/on roads where you are? i would have some sweet spots if i could here
>>29375252
neat. any real difference with reman?
>>29375253
It's for a fucking K frame, of course it's big.

>>29375269
99% LC headstamp with the occasional WCC or FCC. It's still very very consistent, they use exclusively .mil brass so LC, WCC, and FCC all have the same case capacity. Also, I'm not 100% positive they crimp primer pockets on the reman (which is a good thing in my book).
Several years ago a local store had some of their 68gr Heavy Match reman (non-SMK 69gr SMK facsimile bullet, not sure whose, maybe their own?) for dirt cheap, and my 1:8 precision upper would shoot it repeatably into 3/4 MOA off bags and bench. I've shot their 69gr TMK reman loads side-by-side with their factory-new 69gr TMK and other than checking headstamps in the brass pile I couldn't tell a difference. If there's any variance it's at a level I can't shoot well enough to tell.
>there is a REASON NSWC-Crane contracts through them
>>29375289
Looks gud. Whose handguard?
>>29375301
Basic bitch, but tasteful basic bitch. 7/10.
>>29375196
Different anon.
Just ordered a 15" Matrix Charlie. For $70 shipped it's worth a try.
>>29375269
perfectly legal, within the boundaries of safety of course
At that spot, you can see where the road curves around the hill to the right so I can see people coming pretty far away and out of my line of fire.
Another question, can someone recommend me a 16" barrel for less than $200 which isn't doggie doo? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable buying a $100 PSA barrel for whatever reason.
>>29375322
From where?
>>29375322
You might want to put a little lube on the outside of the barrel nut to help get it on, mine is a tight fit.
Feels great in the hand though.
>>29375334
Also if you haven't seen it, this is the barrel nut
>>29375306
sweet. thanks for the info anon
>>29375329
damn you are luck. i could easily have a 600 yard range but we cant shoot on or over a road
>>29375312
Thanks. Looking to get a muzzle brake for the top one, Amazon has an M4-72 clone for $49 shipped. Anybody got a better recommendation? I really like the way the ALG single chamber brake looks too.
>>29375306
outdoor outfitters has pretty good prices on 60gr sp and 75gr heavy match hollow point
>>29375330
Any of the melonited or chrome lined PSA barrels. They're fine, even if they're not as good as their FN-made CHF barrels.
>>29375333
chandlerhardwoods.com. $59.00 plus shipping.
>>29375334
Thanks for the heads up, and yeah I saw that barrel nut. Not thrilled about the design but meh.
>>29375355
J-Comp off Amazon would be my only other recommendation at that price point.
>>29375382
I also looked at the J-comp. Anyone know how the muzzle flash is with that?

>>29375355
I've got an ALG SCB that I replaced a 3 pring with.
It's good, beautiful finish on it.
I haven't been able to shoot it rapid fire yet, but initial impressions at the indoor range are good.
>pic related
Rifle had the 3 prong, and it got replaced with the SCB.
TFB's brake test put the M4-72 as better than the SCB when it came to recoil reduction though.
>>29375382
It seems solid enough, my biggest beef with the rail is the lack of indexing tabs.
I might try to figure out if I can rig a KMR tab thingy into it somehow at some point.
>>29375400
Thank you. I read through that giant muzzle brake test but I don't remember seeing the SCB on it. Might go for the M4-72 clone still. Just think the SCB would be most aesthetic on my rifle
>>29375366
I roll my own softpoints (64gr Nosler Bonded), and won't shoot non-Sierra match bullets any more. Too much variance with the Hornadys, and the Barnes Match Burners aren't quite there. But thanks.
>>29375399
Not bad to the shooter. Worse than the PWS hybrid, but does better on recoil.
>>29375406
SCB is loud AF.
>>29375382
>>29375330
Thanks for the quick answer, guess I'll give the melonited one I was looking at a try.
>>29375414
nice, i need to get into reloading
>>29375414
What do you think the most aesthetic brake would be for this?
>>29375430
If you shoot a lot you will drive yourself crazy trying to reload on anything other than a progressive, and a good progressive setup is fucking expensive.
It is ultimately worth it though, especially if you shoot distance for groups or shoot magnum rifle/pistol rounds.
>>29375436
Silencerco ASR brake to pair with your Omega.
Barring that, I really like the looks of the Surefire SOCOM brake. However, if you don't want a 7-foot-long MD it's not for you. Seriously, thing's long AF.
>>29375458
>setup is fucking expensive.
thats whats stopping me from gettin into it
>>29375463
I can reload .45 colt for $8 a box and roll my own black powder cartridges for my 1858 conversion, that alone made it worth it to me.
>>29375436
If you've got at least 1.3" ID on that rail a phase5 Farman would fit.
>>29375490
yeah ill probably wait til i get more diverse calibers
>>29375521
The more calibers you load for the cheaper it becomes per caliber. Die sets start at $30 and those and a shell plate are all you need to change calibers once you're set up for one caliber.
>>29375540
neato, ill have to read more on it. thanks senpai
>>29375301
Is that a 24" barrel? Or am I drunk?
>>29375560
top rifle is 16"
Bottom rifle is 20"
it's an M16A2 clone. Rapidly becoming my favorite rifle.
After playing rainbow 6 siege I realize I no longer need /arg/
>>29375640
Good go away
Any of you guys have experience with brown bear/silver bear ammo? It's dirt cheap and online reviews just say it's a little dirtier than most. Don't want to fuck up my funs though.
>>29375700
Brown bear is fine. Best of the steel case.
I dont like the idea of zinc plated cases so never tried silver bear.
>>29375577

#cruzesexscandal
>>29377416
the charging handle stops the bolt and gets pretty much instantly deformed by it. I posted a thread here a few days ago where I ruined my fucking charging handle by using it without a barrel. good thing it was a cheap one.

I mean it does look like you fished it out of an Iraqi septic tank. But damn, it looks so fucking cool. That's a well used rifle right there. How many times have you painted it?
It seems like Cryptic bolt carrier groups are pretty popular in /arg/. It would be cool to run a census and see how many people actually own them. Reply to this post is you have one!
Has anyone ever had a problem with theirs besides the price?
Pros for me:
-Stupid easy to clean, will prob saving me hours of cleaning over the life of the bolt
-Super smooth action, with the bolt greased up it is noticeably slicker than the stock phosphate finish
Cons:
-The inside of the bolt chamber and gas key are lined with chrome not their coating. They say this is because chrome is easier to get constant amount of layering there.
They are definitely not necessary but if you are trying to go full Gucci then it is something you should consider.
Is it me or does everyone over estimate accuracy, I read a post from a guy saying he was getting 1.25" groups at 300 yards with his ar but he wasn't anything special, a sub moa AR is normally race gun territory yet everyone is always shooting at 1-1.5 moa which implies rifles of at least .5 moa less. Are these clowns measuring moa as a radius instead of diameter? I haven't even finished my AR so im not comparing this to my own ability or inability to shoot
>>29377658
1.25" at 300? Yeah fucking right. I expect an AR to be an MOA rifle, no more no less. 1.25 at 300 is either, 1.25 at 100 but I'll say 300 to sound cool, or he is completely talking out his ass.
>>29377658
I feel like some people will get lucky with a group and shoot like .75 moa even though the last 15 3 shot groups were 2 moa and be like yeah its a sub 1 moa rifle
Any suggestions on a muzzle device for 300 blk pistol?
I'm looking at the Krinkov style brakes or KAK Flash Cans. . .
>>29374693
How's the hardened arms upper? Accuracy? Reliability? I'm looking at them as an option for a budget build.
>>29377732
I like both of my Hardened Arms uppers. I've got a 16" and a 10.5". I've shot around 1k through the two of them combined with flawless function. I'm not sure about accuracy as I haven't done any bench shooting or group size calculations but there was no problem zeroing at 50 yds.
There is an Anon on here with a 16" upper from them and he likes his. The barrels are not chrome lined however.
Good budget build option. Keep in mind they are 3-4 weeks out right now.
>>29377639
what does it mean to go full gucci? i mean it's not just for looks is it? the coating is supposed to make it have less abrasion with the chamber during feeding.
>>29377638
like, 20 times.
>>29377658
nah, people lie out their ass or just say that their best 3rd group is what the rifle does all the time.
Who makes the strongest bolt without having to use a special barrel extension?
guys, my barrel comes in today, the upper and rail come in tomorrow. How do I time travel?
>>29377882
Try some PCP, works every time
>>29377786
The price/performance ratio doesnt really work.
Yeah its a bit better in ways than a NiB/ regular bcg, but youre paying almost 3x the price of the toolcraft BCG they use as a base for easier cleaning and good looks, mostly (which, realistically is probably the only plusses you'll actually notice vs a regular bcg)
>>29377882
Sleep until they show up.
You'll be traveling at 1s/s, but it'll feel almost instant.
I'm new to ARs and have been looking at a DPMS Panther Oracle for my first one. With tax it is around $600. I don't really know much but I've heard they have beefed up barrels for the price. Is it worth it? I'm not confident about building one unless I had one to start out with.
>>29377683
>1.25" at 300? Yeah fucking right

>>29378097
At 300 yards, it doesnt really. Unless your shooting in a hurricane.
>>29378097
He said little, and he's right.
As long as the bullet is stabilized, the length doesn't matter much
>>29378031
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Look at Palmetto state armory complete uppers and lowers.
Also watch some YouTube videos on how to build an AR, it might give you some courage.
My first gun was my AR, and I built the whole thing.
>>29378104
well who cares about 1MOA at short range? if your bragging about sub 1MOA I assume your shooting long
>>29378136
The previous posts referenced 300 yards.
You could have read, but you assumed.
>>29378159
read? if I wanted to read I wouldn't be here
>>29378135
Thanks. Is it comparable price wise to build?
>>29378186
Yes? I don't know really, I built mine from PSA. Some will knock PSA as poorfag build parts but honestly it's all just milspec, except the barrels may or may not be depending on what you select.
>>29378077
>>29377701
I put a KAK Flash Can on my 10.5" 5.56 build. If I had the foresight I would have instead tried this out:
http://www.amazon.com/Krinkov-Muzzle-Device-Pressure-Reducer/dp/B00C6ON82U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458923075&sr=8-1&keywords=ar-15+krink
The KAK Flash Can doesn't actually have a baffle, and is made from aluminum. What is linked legitimately has a baffle, just like the Noveske KX3, and it also is made of steel. If you don't mind adding 12oz (almost a pound) to the front of your rifle, it might be a better option.
Good luck!
Hey /arg/, I wanted to run the feasability of a stupid project by you.
So early in Vietnam, the first M16s had the wrong twist rate for the current shitty ball ammo resulting in extreme key-holing at closer ranges. Would there be a way to replicate this effect with a modern AR and ammo? Is there a certain ammo and twist rate combo that would achieve this effect? Thanks
>>29378312
Isn't that technically a suppressor as it has a baffle?
>>29378312
I put the flashcan on my FAL barrel because I wanted a long as fuck 9mm brake so I could go with a short action FAL, and not have a ton of extra barrel. Since the picatinny lowers sold out for now, I might just go ahead and SBR the upper, get the barrel cut a couple inches shorter and toss a 9mm lantac dragon on it. Who knows when the lowers I want are going to get back in stock, and if im going to wait, I mind as well wait for a stamp too.
Im well aware that the flashcan isnt really much of anything.
>>29378368
depends if it makes the sound quieter or not. i think if it just redirects it forward but doesn't make it quieter its fine.
>>29378322
1/12 twist rate with anything heavier than 55gr.
>>29378097
It has NOTHING to do with mechanical accuracy.
Whether or not the fucker behind the rifle thinks it does or not may/may not make him shoot somewhat better though.
Also long barrels are worse for mechanical accuracy, all else being equal, due to extra barrel whip.
A long barrel does 3 things:
>balance
>extends the supersonic flight range
>look cool
>>29378501
A longer barrel is also less rigid
>>29378368
Kinda hard to call it a suppressor when it actually makes the gun louder
>>29377872

>>29378553
Thank you
What's up with flow through suppressors? Anyone use one?
>>29378481
Will the higher I go in grain increase the keyholing effect?
Has anyone seen a free floatish handguard build with a carry handle?
Just wondering
>>29378580
Not...really? I mean the longer bullets would increase the odds of one hitting sideways at any particular distance, but bullets are either stable and fly normally or unstable and tumble through the air. There's no "only a little unstable".
>>29378553
ur not ded
>>29378593
Yeah.

Very little added backpressure at the cost of being bad at actually suppressing
Also they look heavy AF.
>>29378566
That is evidence of a very patient machinist.
>>29378624
pics please
Does it resemble pic related from my post you replied to just with the front sight gas block?
>>29378565
They aren't cheap, but they're thought pretty highly of. I think they might be a little heavier too iirc, which makes them a better option for suppressed ARs. Will be fine in an unsuppressed one too though. It's also got two springs behind the extractor. Now that I think about it, I think the extra weight might be in the LMT enhanced carrier and the bolt is normal.
>>29378647
Don't have any pics, and not even fucking close.
The JP handguard was carbine length (7") on a 14.5" carbine-gassed rifle, and they're completely round with no rails.
The 7" version of this guy.
>>29378665
No they arent cheap, but the alternative is an SR-15.
>>29378593
I put an airsoft carry handle on my rifle once
>>29378682
This is true.

>>29378674
I have a JP HG. It's not Gen 1, but I can attest to it's comfiness.
>>29378633
bad at suppressing? does anyone publish a chart of various suppressors and their db reduction?
>>29377639
In
>>29378741
Silencer Shop has an extremely incomplete one.
Also the comparisons are...vague. There are so many factors that go into how quiet a can is that can't be easily repeated for a fair test that they're general ideas.
Also literally every suppressor maker either outright lies by a few dB or uses specialty ammo for their tests to produce true but non-repeatable low numbers.
>>29378741
you wont find a 100% truthful chart or a chart that has a lot of different suppressors
>>29378674
>gunstruction doesn't have JP handguards
It looked fairly close to this.

isn't that airsoft?
swear to god i saw those in a shotshow video once, it was distinct to me because the handgaurd/rail looked disgusting, melty and made of cheap plastic

If it was a real carry handle, yeah of course.
But it was plastic airshit, so not technically.

I asked this question here last time but I seem to not get any proper answer
I am nofunz, but want to buy an AR
Currently in my country, only these are legal to possess
>Colt AR-15 H-bar/Sporter
>Bushmaster mod. XM15
>Olympic Arms AR-15 H-bar,
>DPMS Panther Bull 24
>Oberland Arms (OA) 15
>Heckler & Koch MR 223(sort of an AR)
>JP Enterprise CTR-02
>Armalite M 15
>STAG 15
>Smith & Wesson M&P-15
Which one would you recommend me to buy when it comes to practical sport shooting? Preferably a flat top?
>>29379129
Are you allowed to build your own?
If not, the JP Enterprise is the best built of the lot while not being the most expensive.
>>29379136
*or modify an existing one.
So.
>cannot build or modify
JP
>cannot build but can modify
M&P with a new upper of your choice
>can build
build it to your specs
>>29379129
Oberland

>>29379129
Avoid anything bushmaster with a rented dick
I guess of those I would personally go with the Smith and Wesson. I have no experience with any of the other guns listed.
>>29379136
>>29379142
I am unsure if I can build, but I am quite certain I can modify
>>29379150
>>29379146
>>29379154
I want to be able to modify in the future. I kinda like Colt, but due to their unique gray color, it seems like putting on different uppers will just look plain ugly.
So S&W is best choice? I want to be able to modify the buttstock so it got the more traditional A2 one
What's wrong with Bushmaster?
What's wrong with piston mechanism?
>>29379236
Bushmaster has poor quality manufacturing and quality control. Not worth the investment, especially if it's difficult to own in your country.
Piston operated AR's offer no real advantages, and are certainly not worth the added cost.
Depending on which model M&P is available to you, that could be a good choice. The Oberland Arms is also likely good to go, and so is the JP. Stag and Armalite are so so on build quality.
>>29379236
I'd say if you're gonna modify it the S&W is probably the best base.
>what's wrong with Bushmaster?
Had some massive QC issues a good number of years ago, soured their reputation. They're a bargain bin rifle company. They make polymer lowers (which universally suck).
>what's wrong with a piston mechanism?
The AR15 was not designed with a piston and as such shoehorning one into an AR15 introduces a couple issues while not providing any benefits.
>b-but muh shits where it eats
Gas vents out the bolt carrier and not into the receiver. Chamber fouling, what actually jams the gun, is the same as it's completely unrelated to the gas system.
>b-but muh HK fixed their carrier tilt
No they didn't. They mitigated it to the point where you probably won't have to replace the buffer tube for a few years, but it will still eventually need to be replaced just from normal usage.
>>29379236
>what's wrong with piston mechanism?
Pic related. Only 500 rounds and the buffer tube needs to be replaced.
I've decided what I'm going to do with my other AR. It's going to be a lot cheaper than all the other options too. Now....to find money for it....
>>29379328
I've been reading the H&Ks are eating bolts every few thousand rounds though.
>>29379425
There's that too. I didn't bring it up because they're not the only ones having that problem though.
>>29379390
Whatcha doin?
Also i meant to reply saying I'll look into the wacky bats events in PA and let you know.
Just forgot to before bed.
>>29379446
Neat stuff. Hope to see you there.
And I'm going to get a drop in free float that extends past the A2 front sight, and replace the upper for one with a dust cover and FA.
I am stuck with very limited options and must buy a completed rifle.
What is the general consensus on brands like Windham Weaponry and Del Ton?
Only worried about these two for now. Thanks for any info
>>29379482
Both of those suck
>>29379482
Windham is okay. Just avoid things with a railed gas block like the plague, because I think they used a lot of those.
Look into the Ruger AR556 and S&W MP15 Sport II.
>>29379488
>>29379489
thank you. Definitely avoiding a railed gb as they're both ugly and require me to spend more money on a front sight while the integrated M4 gas block sight works as good as any
If Windham is preferable between the two, is there even anything good to be said about them or are they just meh?
>>29379507
They are the epitome of mediocre. If they were priced $100 lower I would say they are a better buy than they are.
>>29379507
They're generally cheap?
>>29379518
>>29379523
okay yep
so even if it's slightly overpriced I should opt for a basic bitch Colt?
>>29379620
IMO the Ruger SR556 and the S&W M&P Sport II (definitely *not* the Sport I) are the best of the poorfag rifles.
They're normally about $400 less than a Colt 6920 and within a few bucks of a Windham.
>>29379620
Not necessarily. The SR556 and M&P Sport II are both excellent rifles for the price. I have a friend and he bought 2 SR556s. They function very well. I helped him zero them and for the price I don't think it's a bad purchase in the slightest.

Idk mayne. Its your own head. I did and now im looking at mussle breaks....
Is a little bit of wobble normal for a T-1's brightness dial? I can move the dial a little bit back and forth/up and down.
Just wondering if that's something worth sending out to Aimpoint for.
>>29379794
Could call them and ask if that is within the norm.
>>29379794
As a data point, my T1 has no wobble.
