I dunno honestly. I took the elements of a lot of rifles.
I like my rifle so much though that I just ordered all the parts I need to build another rifle just like it, but with a magnified optic.
>>29840215
You've really got an axe to grind.
A2 stock masterrace. Daily reminder that carbine and A1 stocks are for manlets who can't handle real length of pull.
>>29840230
Actually, I just realized that for a lot of my rifle, I copied what Skeletor has going. His rifle and I's are vaguely similar.
>>29840191
i have no idea what inspired my 14.5"(maybe psychedelics) but my 10.3 is somewhat inspired by the mk18 and the vw Golf Harlequin

>what inspired your build
Wanted a rifle length FF quad 16", hated my experience with magpul furniture, wanted good illumination and a red dot because HD/I plink no further than 200 yards typically
So I just got a KAC 200-600m BUIS and the top part of the sight, the peep sight portion seems to lean to the left slightly when viewed from the rear.
Is this normal? or does it even matter considering I can change the left/right adjustment?
pic isn't my sight but if it would help I can go snap a shitty pic with my phone and upload it.
i'll admit i have a penchant for tacticool but mainly i just buy whatever if its a great deal
>>29840191
Pic related was inspired by a Noveske project ares build I saw back in 2012.
>>29840191
How many of your put upgraded drop-in triggers into your ARs.?
If your lower came with a "mil-spec' trigger group, do you keep and use it that way?
or spend $200+ on a better drop in lime timney or BRO?
I've got a an LE6920 with a stock trigger, seems like heavy pull and i feel like im jerking the rifle around when i pull the trigger.
Considering buying a drop in because i want to tighten up my groupings. Or do i need to learn to shoot with a heavy trigger pull first?
>>29840301
What's that optics on the top rifle? I'm thinking of getting an acog type optics for my 7.62.
How much did it cost? Like it?
>>29840305
>zenitco on ar
What the fuck
I am going to repost this here. I got about 1500 to spend on a AR build. I have zero idea where to start and I would like to make it as tacticool as possible.
Are all AR lowers created equal? Assuming you get milspec and from a not no-name manufacturer are the only differences the brand on it?
>>29840386
ta33(r8). i paid $750 for it from amazon. its great. good eye relief, 3x power, a little longer but less bulky than other models. the downside is its sometimes described as like looking down a straw. a bit exaggerated IMO, but i can see why they say that (no pun intended)
>>29840221
How about your optics ?

>>29840280
Is your gun cerakoted? Sometimes of the tolerances are already tight on the rail, the cerakote pushes it just out of spec and some things cant over a bit. My eotech does that. Doesn't do a thing, though once I got it sighted in.
>>29840427
Yes,
The only difference is the rollmark.
>>29840373
I'd put a good trigger on it now if I intended to ever. Better to build habits the way you want.
I put a CMC 3.5lb flat trigger on mine. Feels good, man.
>>29840434

Does it jiggle around and shit? Would you rather have UBR or your stock?
>>29840507
no jiggle, it has a really tight fit. never used or held a UBR so cant say desu
>>29840475
ok makes sense. I mean i know the colt mil spec trigger is rock solid dependable but just waaaay too heavy of a pull. i'm looking at getting either a Timney or BRO-DIT. think they're on sale right now. probably go for the 3 or 3.5 lb
>>29840546
geissele or bust
>>29840215
Yeah, Vegeta, we get it.
Who vltor emod here?
>>29840191
Milsurpdude's M4gery inspired me. Mine will be a bit different though, tomorrow my milspec furniture arives as well as my KAC rail covers. Saturday will be my Matech rear sight. Instead of an MD-ADS I think I'll get a PA 3x prismatic.
>>29840392
It was surprisingly comfy, though I've since gone full circle and am back to URX 3 handstop panel.
>>29840456
this is what it looks like when mounted on my new upper which is sitting in a DPMS Panther Claw block, and sorry I was derping and looking at it in reverse, it leans to the right.
Recommended gun stores with cheap shipping? Looking to import a barrel to Canada.

Might be an optical illusion. The turret on the side just makes it look lopsided.
Cover the picture with your hand so that the turret can't be seen, then look again.
>>29840373
All but 1 of my AR's has a high end trigger in it (mix of Geisseles and a pair of CMC's). I don't know if I have bad luck with build kits or what, but every milspec trigger I've tried is around 9lbs and super creepy with a long reset. Pretty hard to shoot well with those.
For what you'd pay for an "enhanced milspec" or for a trigger job from a competent smith on a milspec, you're better off saving up the extra $50 to get you into a CMC or Larue.
>>29840412
PSA CHF middy upper, PSA blem lower, B5 Sopmod stock, and an ACOG. Should put you right at $1500.
>>29840427
Basically, but there will be variances in final finish and the thickness of the anodizing.
>>29840857
You're mean.
>>29840966
Fuck you
>>29840908
Wait, how much do you have in mind for the acog? I'm tempted to get one
>>29840908
>$1500 for an ACOG, CHF upper, lower and SOPMOD
kek, no. Do you know how much ACOG's cost?
>>29840421

>>29840566
>>29840900
thanks for the input. i'll definitely be getting a drop-in trigger then. Although idk if i can afford the big G
>>29840867
It still looks tilted, here it is with the range set to 600m. It looks even more pronounced to me and I can move it left and right by applying a little bit of pressure to the side. It gives with the feeling of a spring being compressed.

Build your lower and get a bcm upper. Should have money left for an optic
a mixture of blops and we were soldiers

Going to be assembling an AR as a graduation present. Can't wait to shitpost with y'all :^)
>>29840990
>>29841014
Between $750 and $900 for a used one. And I fucked that up a little. The non-CHF premium middy is $300, the CHF carbine is $300, the CHF middy is $500, so either a CHF carbine (ew) or a non-CHF middy for $300. The complete lower is $250, and the stock is ~$50. Any ACOG under a grand and you're under $1500.

The local tactical-ish gunshop fucked up the installation of a front sight base. It's canted, and the goddamn taper pins didn't even fit.
>order barrel and fsb pinning from WO, but they don't have an fsb to pin for me
>the barrel I want isn't available with an fsb from factory
>take barrel and fsb to nearby gunshop
>Red Flag 1: I get the one Fudd who doesn't understand when I say "I have and AR barrel and front sight base that needs to be drilled for taper pins"
>He at least gets someone else to help me
>Red Flag 2: I get a call 10 days later. It's the smith and he wants to drill/install straight pins instead. I tell him I want the taper pins as is mil-spec. He says that's fine, but he was trying to save me time and money.

I'm fucking livid. I'm pissed that I second-guessed myself three times where I should have NOPE'd out of that shop. I only took it to them because I lacked access to a nice drill press. I could have done this amateur job myself for free.
>>29840191
Skeletor and Coltfag inspired my build.
Is the Vortex Strike Eagle any good?
Im new to variable power optics
>>29841749
Yeah, it's pretty great for the price.
>>29841749
Pretty hard to beat for the money.
I greatly prefer it to my Leupold mk4 1.5-5x, if for no other reasons than a better reticle and much larger FOV. The Strike Eagle is significantly larger and heavier though.
>>29841037
damn. I've got some minimal forward/backward 'play' on mine (it's under tension and returns to the same position, isn't flapping around), but left/right would...bother me, to say the least
I didn't really believe in the KAC clone myths but who knows...
>>29840305
got damn that stock is so right
>>29840373
Both anderson LPKs I've used have rather impressive triggers. Better than my brother's upgraded LPK (WMD brand I think). Inclined to say I got lucky though
Protip: apparently Anderson LPKs with black triggers are pretty shit
>>29841623
Fuuck. Well now you deliberate over whether to hold them to a standard and take it back or cut your losses. Honestly I'm not sure how to salvage a pinjob like that. Worst case: install a lo-pro gb
Good luck man
Im a poorfag wanting a 1x4 short dot scope, Has anyone used this scope from monstrous tactical?
>>29842161
Monstrum is basically airsoft optics.
>>29842009
How do you like the Holosun?
>>29842188
aww really?
>>29842213
They're pretty terrible.
>>29842161
I have a Monstrum but not that model. I works fine with my M&P 15-22. It gets the job done if you don't mind elitist pricks making fun of it at the range.
>>29842161
Avoid it. Monstrum is airshit tier.
If you can't spend the money on something good, Millett, PA, and a couple others offer sub-$200 1-4x's that don't suck.

>bought MSD's A2 upper
Was wondering where that went.
>>29842201
solid man. Glass is clear and the dot is very sharp. The 403A I have features a motion sensor for auto-on, and a 50k hour battery life (single CR2032) so you can use it worry free
Mount/hardware and zero have all held for hundreds of rounds at this point. Not the unquestioned ruggedness of an aimpoint/trijicon but I have yet to detect a difference
>>29842266
What's your JewBay page? I wanna see what stuff your selling.
>>29842295
All I got is a Manticore Nightbrake and an ARMS #17 mount up currently. Thinking about putting my old A1 upper on when my NDS one gets back from Norrell's.
>>29841014
Got this whole upper in this picture for $800. TA31F and upper were essentially brand new.

>>29842326
I'm glad to see that Bam is doing okay
The bolt on my AR pistol won't lock back because the BCG won't go all the way back. I have a cheap chinese pistol buffer tube/spring/piston. What should I do?
It's not a huge deal, but I suspect that the spring being fully compressed in the buffer tube is probably bad for longevity. Putting excess stress on the buffer tube threads and whatnot.

I'd say my CMC 3lb flat is 95% as good as my SD-E while being only 70% as expensive (at the time, they've gone up but I bought it for ~$160 normal non-sale price). The AR-Gold and Timney triggers are universally well liked also. I wouldn't call them as a whole a meme even if there are some memetic ones like the POF.
>>29842309

Ya I found it on ebay.
I need something to go under a handguard since PA fucked up and sent me a 12" rail along with the 10" I ordered, so I put together an 8.5" .300blk upper with it as a spare for my pistol.
I need something that's not gonna burn the shit out of my hands when I shoot it with ~4" of handguard in front of the muzzle.

It really was funny as fuck. He'd point them when they landed on whatever they landed on, and as soon as they took off again he'd snap them up. He had to have gotten stung in the mouth a bunch but it never seemed to bother him. He'd also occasionally get a honey bee but they usually weren't big enough to get his attention.

>>29841639
this guy pretty much made me decide to put together an ar. with striking similarities
Also, to actually stick to the edition topic...my middy came about, at the very beginning, from a demo of Blacksite: Area 51. Yes, that completely forgettable FPS from nearly a decade ago. I liked how cool the M4A1 in it was, and how it managed to be simple, yet effective. That in turn lead me to pay more attention to the rifles I'd see on the news of guys in the sandbox, and when the time finally came that I bought a (midlength) A2 carbine, that urge resurfaced. I wanted a simple, practical carbine with a RD, VFG, quadrail, A2 FSB, and a rear BUIS.
IT'S PAYDAY! YEEHOO, I think I'll start looking local in my local funstores first for a lower tomorrow
>>29843322
My A1 build was inspired by We Were Soldiers. The urge only really hit a couple years ago when I rewatched it again for the first time in a long while. I'd only recently gotten my first AR, and the historian part of me quickly decided I needed one. Back then, I thought all M-16s in 'Nam were A1s, and was completely oblivious to the fact that they were depicted using XM16E1s in the movie.
>>29843283
>locate meth factory
>acquire meth profits

Also, I found a woods.
This is as close as I get for inspiration that I can cite.

w2c rail
>>29842983
Nothing. I took it to them originally to get it unpinned, then gave it to a buddy who told me he had the proper tools to take off the muzzle brake and put on my new one, and it turns out that he didn't have the proper tools and that the gun smith didn't properly unpin the muzzle device, so when he took it out he fucked up the finish on my barrel and the sloppily unpinned device destroyed the threads, so they had to chop down the barrel. My buddy had also tried to put the MAMS on over the destroyed threads saying that there was totally enough clearance and that it wouldn't fuck up the threads, but he was wrong, and fucked the threads up the process. I just chalk it all up to me being stupid enough to trust LGSs and friends.
>>29843922
probably.
get the bcg cuz its cheap with upper
is colt out of business just spent some time looking for a 6920 upper and cant find any at all.
I was inspired by having to lug a m16a4 with a 203 around for years and hateing it. nice and light now.
What's a good medium-heavy contour rifle length barrel that is nitrided?
Also is a qpq/nitride/melonite finish over 416R stainless steel completely pointless?
this is for muh tactical DMR build
Is windham weaponry a good company to get an upper from?
gunz
>>29844055
The MicroMOA family of barrels is right up your alley, but they use 4150 CMV steel. Still come with an accuracy guarantee thanks their use of match grade blanks.
Melonite on 416R stainless works great actually, as the nitriding actually does help toughen and harden the steel. Question is that some companies do it well, some do not. The molten salt that is used in meloniting can be enough to mess up the heat treat and stress relief on a match grade barrel.
The companies that are aware of this and address this issue (Micro MOA, Ballistic Advantage, Griffin Armament) are fine, but there are some Melonited barrels that shoot like shit because of the treatment.

I leave this shithole called DC tomorrow and I'm so excited to shitpost some OC once I get to my guns
>>29845275
did you go to the air and space museum
>>29845222
arts and crafts tier
>>29844869
Them legs
>>29845283
I've been before. Its probably my favorite museum tied with the 9/11 museum in NYC
>>29845293
I still need to go to the 9/11 museum, I havent been to NYC since they turned ground zero into a memorial
I haven't been to any gun stores in my area, I wonder if any have stripped lowers, I'd like to find an anderson
>>29845306
Same man, I'd like to see the museum too
>tfw the house down the road from you gets raided
RIP neiobors dogo
How much does POI change from 62g M855 to 77g OTM ammo?
I want to do some accuracy testing on my AR using 55g, 62g, 69g, and 77g ammo.
>>29845338
I dun goofed
>>29845338
that's what happens when you have more than 20rds in Australia
>>29845287
ill take that as complement
>>29845338
*neighbors
>im an idiot
>>29845345
what do you think he was up to
>>29845306
>>29845315
It was probably the most impactful museum I've been. They have the assault shirt of one of the seals that participated in neptunes spear and a brick taken from the UBL compound, which I thought was cool.
The air and space museum is just cool a fuck because who doesn't love fucking planes?
>>29845343
only way to know, is to try it out.
55gr generally shoots 1" above my 77gr zero.
>>29845315
>>29845306
Found the pic
>>29845361
A&S was cool for all the space shit, but in terms of seeing cool planes the museum at WPAFB is god tier. They have like, 3 spitfires, an Me262, B52, F22, BF109, pretty much everything.
Going down there this weekend actually.
>>29845364
So generally there's not a massive difference at 100 yards.
Gr8
I'm just wondering because I've been seeing "Match Ammo" get outpreformed by cheap shit on a bunch of videos and I wonder how my rifle will do with it
>>29845357
Probably heroin cause New Hampshire, that tan van and undercover sheriffs have been poking around the neighborhood for the past couple of months
What was weird was there were only 2 marked cars at the house
Does anyone have an opinion on the C7? How similar is it to the AR?
Sup famalam.
What're you dudes up to today?
Gotta run to the DMV right now to do a title transfer. Then to the mall, picking up my new sport coat from the tailor. Then I gotta run to the hardware store. Gonna buy some paint and check local prices for hardwood flooring materials. Thinking about seeing how viable swapping the carpet out on my ground floor is with hardwood. And seeing if my landlord would eat the cost of the project out of the rent since it'll increase the value of the unit.
>>29845379
yeah, it should all hit within a 6" circle.
can't comment on cheap ammo outperforming match but it may be that those people had the wrong twist rate.
>>29845398
>What're you dudes up to today?
not sharing every detail of my daily routine because of crippling depression.
>>29845398
Work till 12 then range after
>>29840191
This one and...
>>29845438
this one are what even gave me the idea of building one
I'm painting it this summer
>>29845438
of course thats a blown deadline gun
they're the ed hardy/affliction of the gun world
>>29845445
>>29845456
It's fucking $400 to get that done, I'm just gunna wing it and do it myself. Fuck that
>>29845464
wow. fuck that. are you going to paint it boba fett style?
>>29845474
Yep,I was going to try to give it that worn look with a base coat of grey and then paint over that. Then sand it down in places but I'm not so sure now.
>>29845398
Heading into work in about 15. Drinking coffee and dreading working in thunderstorms all day in a gulley. Kinda hope they call today off so I can finally finish ds3.
I was mulling over picking up a MRO but last night I saw a pair of Salomon Quest 4d in my size on Amazon for a lot cheaper than usual so I bit the bullet and now my discretionary funds will have to wait for next week to be replenished. Yeah I could order it but I don't like buying stuff on credit.
This picture right here inspired a 4 year long quest to repro this AR. I've finally got it almost done.
Finding that handguard was a bitch, I searched for about six months. Now there is one on ebay just sitting there.
>>29845501
>not running up your credit on gucci gun shit
>>29845534
definitely not my taste, but looks light and comfy
>>29843838
is that a vfg on a pistol?
>A2 build with 18" instead of 20" barrel still looks good, r-right guys?
>>29845555
looks fine desu but if you're going to go 18" I dont see why not just do 20"
>>29845534
What can you tell me about that handguard?
>>29845543
thanks man, I can't put into words why it appeals to me but ever since I saw that picture I really wanted that gun. Only major change I went with is using a 14.5" socom profile barrel. Once it comes back from being pinned, I'll post pictures.
>>29845572
JP enterprises JPHG-4G with the JPHG-EXT extension, which serves as a cutout for a FSB on a carbine-gas length barrel. They stopped making them a while ago, but it's a rock solid free float which allows you to use a FSB and have a grip further down the axis of the barrel.
>>29845600
Fuck.
I've got nothing illegal, don't even own a dog, and still I would be scared they'd adopt a puppy from the pound in my name and then shoot it in front of me.
Would the Surefire 6px be fine for a weaponlight?
>>29845790
ought to work
hey guys im looking at building an AR for fun. I dont intend on putting more than a few hundred rounds through it per year. Considering that I wont be shooting it much and it will be limited exclusively to the range, could I get by with a cheaper polymer lower?
i feel like an African child drinking these supplements
>>29845888
Cheap polymer lowers suck, stay with a milspec anderson lower. You can pick them up for less than $50
>>29845922
pre/ or post work out or just dietary supplements? I used to take pre work out supplements but stopped. Didn't like feeling like the feeling it gave me.
>>29845922
dafuq is that
>>29846006
It's his jenkem.

Troy HK style fixed front, Troy folding rear.
>>29843283
it's much less depressing if you can find a hill to stand on and pretend it isn't so flat
>>29845445
The need for a Mandalorian themed AR is now overwhelming. I must have one.
>>29840191
muh inspeerations
Honestly I liked the practicality of Operator As Fucks AR, and then really liked Skeletors paint job.
>>29846073
Exactly, that's why I'm painting mine
>>29845376
Wright Pat museum is fucking god tier.
'supp /k/ommandos
I hope Sgt. Marine isn't here
At some point today my middy upper will get here. Then begins the struggle of the angle grinder.
>>29846127
Literally no one cares. Some dude sold it for beer money.
>>29840191
>What AR inspired your build
It's pictures like this:
>>29842612
>>29845543
When I see a picture where someone has badass gear, plate carriers, clothing, etc. When all of that shit is ranger green, dpm, woodland, or whatever and the rifle is solid black. My fucking autism goes off the charts and I just want the rifle to match. This insanity/retardation drove me to build my own AR.
>>29845283
>go to the air and space museum
Cant, filled with super mutants.
God knows what the hell they're doing in there. Also, fuck that fucking Three Dog for sending me here for his stupid antennas
I'm going to give that sn-ach a try maybe sunday.
>>29846138
It was a joke about that anon that wanted to become a tripfag. We wanted him to call himself Sgt Marine but apparently that didn't work out.
>>29846174
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Hopefully he's still lurking out there somewhere, ready to NJP your ass.
>>29840215
You must be great with the ladies
>>29846191
Well, I think that I'm pretty safe where I am kek.
>>29846200
Touche.
Anyone have any good ideas for a repaint? I have 3 cans of Krylon just sitting here
>>29846253
Paint over most of it in Flat Dark Earth, leave some dark spots visible, then add some smatters of thin green.
>>29846253
But your current paint looks bretty gud mane.
>>29845979
>>29846006
no its this stuff called alfa brain. it's made by onnit, it's a nootropic meant to help with recalling words and concentration. I had a job interview today so I figured id try it see if it helps, but it got rescheduled so I guess I'll see how it works
>>29846113
I'm now trying to figure out how to make a 20" look as blaster-y as possible without spend too much.
>>29846294
You're going to need a whole lot more than some snake oil to make yourself seem smarter.
>>29846294
Ok gotcha, best of luck with the interview when it comes around.

>>29846253
I'd just say that a lighter color would be better. A tan color like khaki or sand serves as a good base. FDE and Coyote are darker.

The instruction manual for my angle grinder said only to use grinding wheels and not cutting wheels.
I need the cutting wheel because I don't also own a dremel.
Guess who is ghetto rigging.
>>29846119
It really is, looking forward to heading down there again. Gonna be doing quite a bit of shooting this weekend too.
>>29846154
I'll probably paint it someday but right now I live innacity so there is no reason to paint it earth colors
