I had one on my work M4. Did one reflexive fire range with it and gave it away. The square chunk of plastic that clamps on to the rail forces you to hold your hand further down on the grip, which is very uncomfortable and not as controllable. If you want a very grip, I suggest the magpul one.

If there's anyone new to the thread (who the hell am I kidding, though?) who didn't weigh in on this, but knows about them, is this a good option for a fixed power, compact, magnified optic on a budget?

primary arms and PSA are god places to look. get on their email list and wait for a holiday sale.
it would also behoove you to plan first, then shop around. that way you know what youre looking for
it's nice to know how much I'm loved
>>29903502
Not an option at present. I can spend $350-400 now, but wouldn't be able to drop $1200 on an optic for quite a while, maybe a year.
>>29903510
I hope you're planning to rattle can it. Nothing says "I'm going all in" like a consistent color scheme.
>>29903490
Wait for a PSA/ primary arms holiday sale. Sub 500 is gonna be a stretch thiugh.
>>29903485
Dude, why would you ruin such a Gucci build? I'm buying all top tier parts for my next one, and this shit is spendy. Why would you fuck up such a nice gun?

The unholy length of that link notwithstanding, is this a good upper for a first time AR build? I want the A2 front sight since I'd like to get accustomed to shooting with irons. I invite the mocking wrath of educated tripfags.

Go a few hundred dollars higher for a decent mid-tier AR, even if you have to get the 'ol credit card involved. In the end you'll thank yourself.

Negatory. Keeping my eyes peeled for a colt or kac lower. Might just go all in and get a Daniel defense full rifle and go from there. That's going to have to be next year's tax return tho, unless I win the lottery or something.

Any opinions about the handguard? I'm deliberating over this one and a more traditional m4 handguard. I've heard good things about MOE stocks but not the rest of the furniture.
>>29903490
I have an AR and I bought it somewhat piecemeal, but these are the costs of the basic parts to get a decent AR that runs:
>PSA "blem" complete lower:
$130
>PSA CHF 16" carbine complete upper with "machine gun steel" barrel:
$300
>PSA premium bcg:
$90
>Magpul rear flip up sight:
$45
>Magpul pmag:
$10
>Total
$575
You could easily save money on the upper by getting one of PSA's "Freedom" uppers which have non-chrome-plated barrels but are otherwise supposed to be good quality. There are also deals on complete rifles made by Ruger and PSA which are supposed to be fine.
>>29903546
>Go a few hundred dollars higher for a decent mid-tier AR,
I'm not looking for another AR.... I'm looking for an optic.
>>29903597
Not really, it's probably all gunked up in every crevice of your weapon. Don't get me wrong, I think your gun is very nice, it's just that the paint triggers me

>>29903584
if it were me and that budget, id just buy everything from PSA. they have decent quality stuff and great prices.
>complete PSA lower $160-200 each
>assembled complete upper $300 each
>PSA BCG $100
>matchech rear sight or beat up carry handles $40
the total price per rifle will depend on what you want, sale prices, and if assembly is required.

You seem to have missed the "budget" part, but OK. Racking up $2000 worth of credit card debt for an optic when I'm neither a competitive shooter, nor involved with any kind of security or LE force, sounds like a great idea.

>Considering heavier buffer or spring to reduce recoil impulse.
>Scope mount issue. Don't buy $100 mounts boys.

>120 rounds through Sig 516 upper on DD lower.
>At ~600 total round count now through upper.
>Zero signs of carrier tilt or cam pin wear.
All in all, a good day. The AR500 torso has been slammed with around 600 rounds of 62gr green tip now and is holding up pretty well. It's pock marked like crazy, but nothing deeper than ~1/8" on a 1/2" plate. Just about out of M855 now anyway, so it shouldn't get too beat up from here out.

sounds like fun. i have a home assembled 308 ar and ive yet to find an optic i like to put on it. im just not sure what its purpose is i guess.

This was a newfag build, from back when I was a newfag. Not nearly as bad as a lot of the normie builds posted here imo. At least I put my buis on straight and used a decent gas system and trigger.
>>29903469
Ive got one on my PTR. Pretty decent, but I bought mine second hand a 1/3 of the price
>>29903840
So...probably. Just gotta get some good bits.
>>29903469
Other than
>compact
which it really isn't, they're pretty decent. However IMO 5x is a little too high for a fixed-power optic on an AR. The 3.5x one is a little more appropriate.
>>29903794
You need a better low and ready position for when running
>>29903826
Bet you hate fun too
>>29903369
After owning a Vortex Viper PST, Trijicon Accupower and looking through a Trijicon Accupoint and Vortex Strike Eagle, I'd have to say I much preferred the Viper with the TMCQ reticle. That big black segmented circle practically allowed me to do BAC without illumination, and though I would have preferred mil- dots as opposed to mil hash for ranging, I was still able to consistently get first round hits at 585 yards on a 32" steel plate almost every time. Now I have the Accupower, and i wish I would have kept the Vortex purely for that reticle.
>>29903794
what exactly do you think you're accomplishing by running like that
>>29903389
>>29903379
>>29903346
Supposedly chapstick works well to that end.
>>29903908
You need one that says "Innadesert"
>>29903794
>firing two shots and then running into the next county
why?
>>29903794
Nah, just shot my steel target standing / prone. Still had a great time. Swapped the red dot over to the SCAR, slapped my spare ACOG on the 516, and zero'd the optic on the .308 only to realize I'll have to do it over again.
Only gun I brought and didn't have never, ever had to fuck with was my CZ527 Carbine. 80 perfect rounds of satisfying fun.
>>29903806
308 AR's can fulfill a lot of different roles. I had a hard time choosing an optic too for that very reason. Ended up putting that Leupold VX-R Patrol 3-9x40 w/ TMR reticle on it because it was a good balance. On 3x with the illumination on it can be used both eyes open a lot like an ACOG, and 9x is enough for just about anything the rifle will do.
Eventually I'd like to put a Mark 6 3-18 on it, but that's down the road a ways. Plus, the gun is heavy enough as is.
>>29903921
Planned to order one sometime
>>29903318
What do you guys know about Radical Firearms? Place near me has them for sale, seems pretty gucci.
However, it's nothing like either of my service rifles and so I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to train on it. I might be better off with something closer to my nigger-rigged abominations.
>>29903965
They're shit and should be avoided.
They finish their barrels before installing the barrel extension, are all over the place on torque, and there've been some issues with improperly timed barrels/extensions. These issues have led to barrel extensions coming loose. So far not while shooting, but it's a potentially unsafe setup that they refuse to fix even though they've publicly acknowledged it as an issue.

Annnd the wife just ordered 1200 rounds of ZQI 62gr SS109, so it doesn't look like the steel will be getting a rest any time soon. I guess we're going to find out how many rounds of mild steel core 5.56 it takes to wear out a 1/2" AR500 plate.
Yay, more parts came in today. I think Im all done aside from a sling.
>>29904176
>Not shooting people who expose themselves while disengaging.
>Allowing the enemy to live to shoot at you another day.
Negatory. If I'm in a firefight it means that shit has hit the fan and I'm either in the Middle East / Africa fighting shit skins or SHTF of the maximum magnitude has finally happened. Either way, I'm not fighting a professional army the fewer hostiles roaming around, the higher my chances of survival.
>>29904178
I recently ordered up a case of 62gr Wolf hollow points to try out. It seems slightly more accurate out of my 1/7 barrel than the 55gr, without the green tip price and mediocrity.
Since when was the ACT a meme?
Are Amber ACOGs a meme?
>>29904163
it is pretty nice for fall MI
>>29904176
kek. if anything it would confuse people
>>29904202
>Amber ACOG
not a meme, just the worst color choice out of the three
>>29904194
I was going to pass on the green tip meme this time and just shoot some 55gr, but we take turns buying 1k rounds and she found a sale somewhere for $0.30/rd for 1200.
That's comparable to steel cased pricing, and while I don't mind shooting bimetal jacket out of my AR, replacement barrels are cheap and plentiful. Her SCAR on the other hand is a different matter. When a new barrel assembly costs $1000+ you might as well just shoot brass case with real copper jackets.
>>29903389
>>29903379
>>29903920
just toss it in the water to wash it off
>>29904202
Worst color. There's a reason Amber is always in stock.
>>29904240
Sounds like you guys should just start buying your own ammo, since it appears her gun has different ammo requirements than yours.
>>29904244
Confirmed. I passed on the Amber as soon as I looked through one in the store.
Ended up with a red chevron, but if I had to do it over again I would go with a green crosshair or donut.
I would sell mine and trade out, but I have less than $1200 in the TWO TA31's I have now, and they're both red chevrons, so it makes more sense to keep them and they're still great.
I want to put "In your dreams" on the third fire position. Should I just use a dremel engraver?
>>29904223
>>29904244
>>29904266
I know amber is trash, that's why its meme tier
Is the ACSS retical ACOG shit? It has a chevron point so I feel that its very precise.

I've got 5.45x39, 7.62x39, 7.62x54r, 7.62x51, 8x57, .30-06, and .300WM rifles to feed on top of my AR. She's just got the one. Letting her pick up the 5.56 is a welcome relief.
>>29904309
Personally I like it, but I just like the chevron more.
>>29904309
ACSS is what I was referring to when I said donut, I think it's probably better than the RCOM4CP reticle.

http://www.strawpoll.me/10179943
It's weird though, for the 1x category, people are voting for the cheapest option; while for the variable category, they are going for a split between most expensive AND least expensive.
>>29904492
People are idiots. Don't let the masses decide what you buy. Get the Aimpoint Micro or a Leupold 1-4 30mm if you're too cheap to buy an ACOG.
>>29904492
The PRO is inferior to the T2 or CompM4S. Disregard all the poorfags who voted for it. You should've put a poorfag-special option on there like a TRS25 or MD-ADS just to filter all the poors and retards.
>>29904492
Here's what I don't get, an accupowers are like 850, plus a 60-180 dollar mount.
Why not go with an ACOG like me?
>>29904522
lol I was tempted to put a NcStar Aimpoint clone on there
>>29904527
Because shitty eye relief and lack of lower magnification.
>>29903822
Didn't know the military was using the TRS25 dot....
>>29904546
If you've ever used an ACOG you would recognize that the lack of lower magnification isn't an issue.
Neither is the eye relief if you have your gun set up right.
>>29904527
I did consider it. I mean, if I look long enough you can find them for 900-1000 used... but Honestly the idea of a fixed power doesnt appeal to me.
Plus, on most of them the eye relief is pretty unforgiving, so I would probably go with the 3.5x, but even still.
With the accupoint, I get a 1x with reasonable eye relief, and when I need I can push out to 4x with subpar eye relief.

u2
>>29904562
Used one in the Army. Eye relief is absolutely an issue unless you're aware you're getting an ACOG well ahead of actually building the rifle. The vast majority of backup rear sights don't fit under it.
Also, there were plenty of times I wished for a red dot or low-power variable overseas. ACOGs are good, but they're definitely not the be-all, end-all of AR optics. Especially for civilian usage.
I've use the Comp M4S to 300m no problem. In fact, it was surprisingly easy for a 10" barrel.
>>29903374
Shit as a grip. Shit as a bipod.

>>29904597
>Vast majority of BUIS don't fit.
That's funny, both my Troys and MBUS PRO fit no problem. So did my regular MBUS when I had them.
At any rate, I never said it was the end all be all, but it's problems are grossly overstated by most people. A top shelf 1-4 will still be better in some regards, as will a top shelf red dot. The ACOG sits comfortably right in the middle.
>>29904629

>>29904634
Just get any phosphate full-auto bolt carrier, literally nobody is going to inspect your bcg to see if it's "period correct."
>>29904634
Any quality BCG with a "full auto" or "M16" cut.
>>29904492
If I had voted for a 1x (I didn't) I would have picked the CompM4 because of the killflash. That's just something you don't get on very many optics.
Do you guys think this reticle isn't too crowded and good 4 face shooting
>>29904665
It's too crowded.
>>29904641
I don't think it sits in the middle, I think it is an excellent piece of glass for the right circumstances.
My school of thought is that for my uses, a 1x is the most useful. The only reason I'm considering the variable 1-4x options, is that they seem to be the best jack of all trades that don't break the bank by piggybacking optics.
If I was out hunting hogs on a ranch somewhere, I would almost certainly get an ACOG.
>>29904665
you dont need optics to shoot yourself in the face
it's not hard
you see if you out it into your mought you can't miss
>>29904665
Hey faggot are you a Hillary supporter?
Answer carefully
>>29904641
Matechs don't fit (at least with the standard mount, there's a reason QD mounts like the Larue and ARMS raise it an eighth of an inch or more and why the Army, which uses Matechs and doesn't use QD mounts, makes you take your rear sight off). MBUS plastics don't fit. The tritium Troys don't fit. The pre-Micro KAC's fit but were long enough it fucked the eye relief unless you had the stock collapsed enough the charging handle was digging into your upper lip.
>>29904676
Yes

Just so you know, the KX3 weighs a fuckton. Thing's gonna be decently front heavy. I would personally do the KAK flash can, they work the same (despite being a 1-piece design) and weigh less, as well as being about $100 cheaper. Despite being aluminum they seem to last pretty fucking well.
I don't personally care for the MOE SL stock. Not saying it's not good, but I prefer the ACS-L or B5 SOPMOD.
Good rail. I'd go Mlok, it's gaining ground over Keymod as well as providing marginally better cooling and being a tad bit sturdier.
Troll around eBay for used Troy HK-style sights. They're excellent (IMO the best front sight design), usually around $60-70, and you're not actually giving Troy any money if you're one of those guys that has complaints against the company.
>>29904753

Trump is a faggot but Hillary is openly swearing to infringe the second amendment. She is a tyrant and needs to be executed for her crimes against the United States.
Supporting this tyrant is worthy of death.

Nigger, it's Metalform.
>>29904825
I'd have gone for a much shorter barrel. At the length you have now why'd you even bother with an SBR? That looks about the same length as my 10.3" 5.56 SBR.
>>29904840
So what you're saying is you support her unironically and actually want a tyrant in the white house?
What are you, some kind of cuck?
>>29904825
It's not as pretty as mine
>>29904867
I was on the fence for 10.5" vs 7.5", and made my decision based on some ballistics sheets. Diminishing returns on muzzle velocity past 10", so I went with 10.
>>29904866
My mistake. In that case I'm sorry to see that Metalform stooped to using the same cheap glossy paint that CProducts uses.
They used to have a nice matte gray coating.
Carry on. Also get a suppressor and a shorter barrel.

In all honesty ballistic improvements on 9mm are akin to polishing turds. The main benefit of a 9mm SBR is a dramatic improvement in accuracy and controllability in rapid fire over a pistol.
>>29904894
Suppressor will be soon, and the shorter barrel is something I'll probably pick up once the suppressor gets here. With any luck, I can just put the shorter barrel in, still use the 9" handguard, and I can fit the suppressor down into the handguard.
>>29904909
I suppose. Still, I don't think I fucked up too hard for a first SBR.

Is safer. He's so hated by nearly everyone, that the odds of him actually accomplishing anything are pretty low.
>>29904707
I assume you mean 13.7 barrel. Having a booster on that long of a barrel is point less. I would go with the B&E Meyers 249F, supposedly its the best flash hider around. Works great for me. No problems with my Pulsar Digital NV
>>29904885
Yeah, you really start dropping off on returns past about 8" but it really dives at 10". I'll probably eventually build a 7 or 8" 9mm upper for my SBR at some point. Though with a 7" upper I'd be a little short on forend. I like to have a decent grip out there.
>there's a reason I have a 12" rail on my 10.3" barrel
>>29904928
That's not the same mount I was issued, and my issued Matech very definitely didn't fit under it. They may have
>>29904962
wtf that ate like 15 words off my post.
>they may have changed the issued mount recently, I retired in 2012
>>29904925
A fine plan, just measure the inside of the handguard before you buy a suppressor.
>>29904987
Yeah, PSA's free float is fairly narrow, so I'd need to find some low-profile can. SilencerCo's probably got something.

anything else is mall ninja. unless you do an IR laser
>>29903908
Hmmm... Note quite enough shells on the ground to be around phoenix. Maybe a smaller town in Arizona?
>>29904995
If not, you can likely resell that handguard and buy a fatter one at a minimal loss.

Anything that isn't:
>sling
>light

>IR laser IF and ONLY IF you have NODs

I consider iron sights an integral and mandatory part of the rifle, not "accessories" or "stuff".

Model Ms feel amazing but don't waste money on one from someone who knows what it is. You can get them for 5-10 bucks at thrift shops if you look around.
That being said, I just got PBT Sublimed black on black keys for my Filco Majestouch 2.

Okay, so I'm not gonna try and be a dick.
But I would recommend:

>more cover, more disruptive environment, more targets
>close contact targets
>do pushups
>quit switching hands and shit
>you might benefit from doing this in your fighting/sustainment gear
>do a few more pushups
>do more pushups, some half-jacks, and some squats before starting the course
The first couple were strong recommendations, the rest is just for funsies.

>thinking I'd tell you people what I do for work
I havent shot my AK a whole lot but I definitely prefer my AR over it. I'll have to wait until I get a T2 and shoot it some more before I make my final judgement though.
Then I'll have to get a SCAR and make the real decision.
retarded question: do different lower receivers have different end plate sockets? as in, circle vs. round? i built my first ar using a lower which had an oval end plate socet, and my second lower has a circle end plate socket... What is the difference? example picture here.

You're as bad as those Boeing cunts who sit at home mewling after their unemployment runs out because they're too good to work retail or food service to keep the bills paid while they look for something better. Only worse because you chose an unemployable career path.

My official position is department lead but I was hired as a gunsmith since we were *supposed* to expand the store to include a full service shop. But Corporate cut that plan and now (at least this time of year) I mainly sell kayaks and fishing lures.

I'm trying to get transferred to the golf department. I get called in to work there a good amount so I know it pretty well and can do all the services, and a "golf pro" makes more money than a "bow pro" and "gunsmith" combined. Since I've been there a little over 14 months I'd be pretty close to $20 an hour.
