Does anyone actually like the A2 Pistol grip?
I've used them a lot on issued rifles, and I only really like the extremely worn down and smoothed down ones like pic related. I picked up a friend's AR with a brand new one and my hand was not agreeing with it, the grip is too harsh. I usually feel the same way about pistol grips, worn down just feels better.
>>29692286
friends keep bullying me over this
pls help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CXu0nh-iD4
It's shit kys
>>29692286
because NoDak is always on backorder
>>29692336
my favorite grip is a worn out A1
>>29692340
baka
>>29692336
why is the ACOG mount backwards?
>>29692336
>Does anyone actually like the A2 Pistol grip?
literally no one out side of the military with half a brain uses one
>>29692336
with gloves its ok. otherwise, file off the nub and its way better.
or just get the aftermarket grip of your choice and be done with it
>>29692336
tyfys
>>29692301
This desu. I can't spec out a retro build for much less than a thousand bucks because apparently I'm retarded.

In with new shit, its going to be a retro inspired build.
>>29692339
literally all of those are ammo related
>>29692286
I remember hearing a statement a while back along the lines of "quad rails are retro now"
I still don't have either anyways.
Still tryna figure out if ATF will kick down my door if I put a Geissele Super Select Fire in my lower
>>29692352
That's not backwards, if the lever is on the other side it gets in the way of the bolt release and it will face forward and get snagged on stuff.
>>29692353
I thought so.
>>29692361
Yeah, I use an Umbrella on my rifle, I've played around with the BG-17 also, but I swap them out every now and then for fun.
>>29692390
ill probably make a coat rack with all my left over a2s

>>29692336
I actually think it's pretty comfy. I like being able to store things though, so I would want to make sure my stock has compartments if my grip didn't.
>>29692375
It's the most 80's thing you'll watch in your entire life.
>>29692375
I really have no idea. It was posted in a thread on /v/ and I couldn't stop laughing.
>>29692383
I don't think so, there's no difference between the SSA and the SSF besides this nub that catches the auto sear
>>29692422
is it possible to acquire a SSF trigger as an average Joe or do you need special contacts
a1 or a2 grip (based on aesthetics)
>>29692454
just buy it, no nothing special needed except an extra $100 bill
>>29692456
a2
>>29692469
>>29692474
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>>29692483

>>29692454
Pretty sure you need to have a registered lower to buy one, I don't think you have to be military or government though. They might ask you for a tax stamp or something to prove you have a registed preban.
>>29692474
Don't think so. Some dude on arfcom was talking about this a while ago.
I wish geissele would make an A4 Burst trigger that didn't suck ass
>>29692286
I'm starting my first build, it's going to be a retro C7 / M16A1 build.

You all need some Teletubbies.

ill just buy both

where are you going to acquire this? You realize the difference between these two lowers is several hundred dollars, right?

I've got an old SEAL buddy who has an "in" on just about anything you could imagine. Don't know where he gets em but he's got dough and he's evidently a great hunter finding all the things he's got. He's got like 4 of those lowers, he collects anything Colt.

Yea.
Teletubbies are life!
>>29692619
That's pretty interesting.
>>29692588
I work at a gun shop, I've seen a thousand AR's in and out and I have my own opinions. An Anderson BCG polished on the contact points does exactly what a NiB does. It's just a meme man. The parts kit is milspec, nothing to complain about there.
But in honesty, the whole thing is just range toy for me.
>>29692619
What
why do you have duplicates?
what do you do with them?
why the fascination with teletubbies
has anyone ever asked you why a grown ass man is inside a toys r us
>>29692588
What's wrong with Anderson? There stuff is just fine except for the grip screw.
>>29692638
No. Teletubbies are for cuddling and playing with only.
>>29692658
nothing really wrong with them. some people like to turn their nose up at entry level brands
>>29692644
I'm glad I'm not the only one here with a collection that gets you on a list, haha.

>does exactly what a NiB does

>he parts kit is milspec, nothing to complain about there
Except literally everything? Mil spec selectors are trash, to start with. Mil spec is the bottom line not the top.
>>29692673
I really wouldn't call them entry level, I've built multiple and I've all used Andersons. Though that's probably because I don't care about the role mark.
>>29692587

Nah, they just assume I'm a father, or something.
>>29692693
>Fostech Echo
>comes with its own selector
Keep whining, there's still nothing wrong with anderson anyway. Milspec is the standard, certainly not the bottom in existence.
If ARs were more expensive and all the trash lower end brands were outed from the industry the AR-15 community would be better

i caught your error and decided to make a small joke.
you don't have the brain cells to see that and now i look like an idiot because i should have realized you wouldn't get the joke because you don't even know how to ask questions.
>>29692925
I like the set up I've got. Can do all of those things easily. May have to get creative for both the light and laser depending on how you want to mount them. But mounting space/method is not an issue.

So apparently building a URX4 16" upper will be about 25% cheaper than just buying a SR15 upper, assuming I use a Rubber City Armory BCG.

I already have a Vltor MUR lying around so I was going to build off that and use a Noveske Recce barrel. I'm aware of the benefits of the E3 System and i"m still juggling between selling the Vltor upper and putting it towards the SR15 upper

I have an SR-15 Mod 1 upper on a LWRC lower, I would say it is worth it but it all depends on how much you are willing to pay.

gettin tipsy on some IPA tonite
had my AR for about 2 months now and just love the /arg/ circlejerk
>>29693439
I mean the difference is 1600 for the upper vs 1200 for building it. The MUR is NIB so I could probably get a good deal on selling it. Have there been any situations or whatever where the E3 upper worked whereas a standard may have failed? Or is it just the reassurance of a more robust bolt?

>>29693577
>>29693504
Thanks guys, I'll definitely keep this in mind. I have a while before I make any decision and I have no issue with waiting longer to pony up the extra 400 for the complete upper if thats what I end up doing. Aesthetics are important to me, but end of the day I want this to be a hard-use rifle.
>>29693640
Nice, I've been thinking about picking this bad boy up $6,000, I managed to talk the guy down.
>>29692286
I'll never understand why you guys don't immediately switch out the .223 barrel for a 7.39.
>>29693660
another thing to consider bout the complete upper is resale value. even if you arent planning on selling it, a factory KAC upper is going to hold its value way better than anything you put together.
>>29693669

>>29693669
REALLY Love this rail, but they make only weird ass lengths, and they are never in stock. Same with the KAC URX 4
>>29693644
Disregard, they are Colt factory uppers, not surplus.
I imagine they're cheap because they all have a small crack. I have a friend who can weld so possibly have him fix it up and then parkerize the whole upper?

SMOS is Noveske's OEM for he NSR and Gen 3 receiver sets. They currently only make Mlok rails in 13 and 15 inch lengths, but might be worth looking into

Pic related. It's you fucker.

If that crack was welded shut, what all would be wrong with the receiver? $40 for an upper is pretty good, especially for an A1 upper.
>paid $99 for a stripped A2 upper.

It's a personal choice. A magnesium and aluminum alloy rail just will not withstand my bullshit. I would bend that thing instantly. My rails either have to be 6061 or 7075 and sturdy as fuck.

Whats a good/standard price for an upper and a barrel? I have seen some that are like $400+. I don't need/want anything fancy just basic but with quality make and material. I found ones I like that are both ~$85. I don't want to buy them and get crap or a lemon. Knowing my luck I probably will.

That's good shit man, got a good hue out of me.
>>29693752
The amount of time and energy you would put into repairing that thing would far out way just buying one. As a machinist, it would be a royal fucking cunt to do right.

Does anybody make a good quality retro-looking scope for a retro AR that doesn't cost like $500?

If you spend a bit extra you get the CHF barrel.

Trips of truth.

Okay but price? Like is the $$$ worth it or am I just paying for brand?
>>29693753
I think the Geissle rails are all 6061 but they don't actually say on their website, I'm not exactly sure.
I see your point, I am pretty rough with my rails too, I use my sling as a shooting aid and a malleable metal rail would probably get bent to the left.
>>29693753
youre mixing it up the the bcm kmr.
one negative about the noveske rail is you need a hole for the index pin (although you can forgo that if you wish)

PSA is budget tier goodness. It is deff worth it in my opinion and you'll find others as well. PSA is my base line for rifles. The use Carpenter 158 steel in their bolts and a CHF process for their barrels, premium line i think.
My sbr is a PSA premium upper.

They say the HK SMR is made out of 7075 T-6 but I'm not sure if that's true of all of their SMR rails.

god the kmr is a piece of shit

My buddy has built two Uzis, surely a little crack wouldn't be too hard?
He's got all the shit to parkerize for his Uzis as well.
>>29693834
To his credit they are fairly similar.
I think my VLTOR MUR upper has a Novekse NSR index pin hole, I can't remember when I put it together.
Maybe I will go with a URX4 M-Lok for my next build
>>29693834
I know the KMR is for sure. I'm also sure that the NSR is as well. I've seen just how easy it is to dent/mar the metal and it screams mag/alum alloy to hell and back. But I could be wrong.
>>29693843
Id be willing to bet that they are.
