I asked in another thread, but I'll ask here as well:

Just how picky are AR10 upper and lower receivers? Like if I were to get a Mega Arms maten lower and pair it with Aero M5 upper or some other combination? I understand the platform has a lot of compatibility problems, but how much of that applies to stripped upper and lower receivers?
I'm not going for looks, just function.

I do plan on getting a laser or laser/light combo at some point. I've never had a laser on a weapon before and I think it'd be a nice addition to make close quick target acquisition near instant. Flashlights on the muzzle are very nice both for home defense and allowing you to shoot at night at the range. Can't wait to get one, but broke college student right now so I've gotta be happy with what I have. Can't even afford ammo.

Seems reasonably comfortable at this distance. I can either have my elbow bent or straight at this distance. When I get a laser/light combo I'll probably move it back a notch or two. That won't be for a while though.

I may adjust it when I eventually get out to the range again, but we'll see.

ETS mags are, I think.

Some SOF pictures are using a clear AR magazine these days, I would guess ETS instead of Lancer.

Hey friendo's, having a suppression issue.

I built an M4 block 1.5 clone, it's a 14.5" Colt upper and bcg. It's got a SiCo trifecta pinned/welded on it so I can mount my Omega.

Unsupressed the thing runs like a top, beautiful. When I put the suppressor on it, it ejects like shit (casings barely tumble out) and I'll get FTF's and it's fucking my casings up.

I swapped in an old NiB bcg I had laying around and it runs a lot better. It only weighs 1/8oz more than the Colt, and the only other difference I can find is that the gas rings in this NiB are pretty well worn out, whereas the Colt bcg is brand new.

What am I experiencing here and what are some remedies to fix it? I'd really rather keep the Colt bcg in it if possible. Heavier buffer?

These are all the magazines I currently own for my AR. I've got two polymer Magpul GenM3 and one aluminum STANAG-looking magazine. I like the Magpul magazines quite a lot but the aluminum magazine just feels like trash. When you pick it up you can hear the spring inside and it sounds like the follower is loose even though it feeds fine. Additionally, you can push down one side of the follower and get it sorta stuck at an angle inside the magazine.

Is there a way to fix this so the follower doesn't tilt to one side? Or should I just give this mag to a friend and buy some more Magpul M3 magazines once I get money?

You need a H2 buffer, maybe H3. Buy a H3, because you can change the weights and figure out what works.

But Colt SOCOM 14.5 inch barrels are fielded with H2 buffers. Not much of an issue with cheap ammo, or unsuppressed.

Running a can, firing full auto, or hotter 5.56.. you'll want a heavier buffer, or you'll have bolt slap and fucked up ejection.

Yeah, I've noticed gun stores don't seem go know much about buffer weights. I had to walk out of a gun store when they told me all they have was "rifle or pistol buffers" and told me I was wrong when I tried to tell them ARs are a little more complicated than that.

They just want to carry the lightest buffers because they're half the price, and most people shoot weak .223.

What distance are you guys sighted in at snd what are you shooting off of to sight in?
>>
>>30165835
Depends on the isometric strength of your trapezius and anterior deltoid. Not even memeing, if you're stronk or have a light fore end you want your support hand farther forward and more on the side so you have more leverage to control the muzzle during recoil. If you're weak or have a heavy ass barrel you want your support hand lower and closer so you have more leverage to support the weight itself (think of the difference in difficulty between holding a heavy object close to your chest or extended at arm's length)

He isn't saying it won't kill someone. He's saying the effective range is undeniably shorter, and if you want to shoot at ranges requiring a magnified optic, you'd be better served by at least a 14.5 inch barrel.

And, I agree. Honestly, I wouldn't even be going shorter than 11.5, unless considering 300 blk (not to say 10.5 can't be reliable or kill) but I certainly wouldn't be putting a magnified optic on something that is more of a PDW than a carbine.

A reflex sight will better serve the utility of that set up, in my humble opinion.

you're basically adding barrel length when attaching a suppressor

Everything you said is true, but it's also true for my variable zoom PA optic. Doesn't need batteries for the reticle (but has them for illumination), can be used with both eyes open (as all shooting should be), and you can zoom in which really helps me at range. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be though, so your mileage may vary. It is however heavier than an ACOG.
>>
>>30169595
>"I have never owned, or operated the product I am talking about" the post.

I've owned both and besides the eye relief on the 4x ACOG, its considerably better at close quarters than any variable optic I've ever used. You can still use variables with both eyes open, as >>30169632 explains.

>>30169603
The difference is quite neglible, but yes red dots are usually better because you can mount them farther away from the eye which I feel makes them faster.

>>30169632
When I meant no batteries I was referring to illumination, which is 100% necessary during most lighting conditions.
>>
>>30169664

My HD and SHTF guns are different, since I figure in SHTF I would be much more kitted out and plan accordingly.

HD
>bargain basement light and sight
>no sling
>emphasis on indoors use
>nothing on it I wouldn't be willing to part with in a pinch

SHTF gun
>expensive parts
>built for performance
>powerful light, emphasis on outdoors use
>various QD points for sling versatility
>camo paint job
>if I died with a rifle in my hands, I would prefer it be that one

Former YoPro here. I was an attorney for two years.

I sold my father's concrete company and retired at 27. I'll probably never have to work again but I started investing in real estate and I'm really enjoying the property management side of the business.

I started workin on oil Rigs on my 18th birthday and became really good friends with my driller. We kicked it outside of work and used to smoke weed and shit years ago. Through an odd turn of events he became the lead operator out at the plant and I was his first call because he needed to make an example out of me. I take a lot of pride in my work and he wanted to show that he should be able to hire his own crew.

My shtf gun is my hd gun for now. Planning a mk18 build soon and that'll be my hd gun later.

I don't want this to turn into an AMA. I spent a year traveling before coming home. I was bored within 6 months and decided I needed to do something with my time and money. I purchased three upscale condominiums to start and now I have nine units in the Brickell area of Miami.

I mean if I wasn't a poor-as-shit suburban apartment renting plebeian and could actually get some land then I might consider getting a longer range HD gun. But for now my castle is like 200 square feet so that's the limit of what I could legally defend.

And having to fire people sucks and shit because I still feel like a kid. A kid firing adults. But rules is rules.

Truly living the American Dream.

Being a gun guy without land is like being a pre-op tranny, it's just not the full experience...
