Don't buy federal.
>tfw almost first
Is the Aero Precision AC-15 a good rifle for the price range? Also, can anyone recommend me a good optic for a reasonable price?
>trigger and LPK arrived in town at 1am this morning
>UPS won't deliver them until Monday anyway
Fuck UPS.
>>30324330
So, now that my upper is done, it's time to do something about this basic bitch lower.
Trying out those Daniel Defense mags. Solid as fuck so far. And dat 32 round capacity.
Gf wants to go shooting soon. Need to stock up on ammo and stuff, meh.
>>30324365
Yes, Aero makes decent/good stuff. For optics, check out Aimpoint or knockoffs (Vortex, Primary Arms) but know that you get what you pay for.
>>30324383
>>30324330
I love AR's, they're small enough to conceal, but the firing power and mag size make them one of the best weapons next to AKs.
>>30324330
Finally removed the eotech covers that it came with when I got it. To bad my Vortex Strike Eagle will be here monday along with the AD Mount.
Also have a magpul handstop, MBUS pro front sight, stolen valor rear sight, magpul hand stop, QD end plate, QD rail attachment, and MS4 sling getting here monday. Am very excite. Last thing I need is a flash light

Your rifle has me considering a 10" KMR over a 13", that looks great.

Federal xm193 is consistently shitty.
>>30324339
I've bought nearly 3k rounds of their red box 55gr and never had any issues
>>30324423
but you were supposed to shoot that brown bear today
>>30324470
yeah well i woke up late and a new pc case and some keybaord parts arrived
>>30324453
Back when the ATF was considering a ban on the green tipped wonder boolits, you knuckleheads spouted that XM193 was superior. Now fast forward to today.... >consistently shitty
I hope your platform does get banned. At that point no ammo will be worth buying.
>>30324470

Guys, I'm feeling the itch. I want to build, but I can't tell if I want to build an M16(A1) clone or go the full-retard route and try my hand at an AR-10.
>>30324518
Can you tell me what that insignia on the shot glass is? My grandpa briefly wore that patch during WWII, but he mostly wore 1st Allied Airborne Army, then 17th Airborne Division, patches.

What do you consider to be a reasonable price? I can guarantee you what I consider reasonable is probably quite different from what you consider reasonable. Use a proper price range.
>>30324368
Welcome to the wonderful world of the shipping business where nobody cares about you or the package you're receiving.
>>30324392
Looks good, but oh wow you must've really been intent on building a meme gun because that's what you've got.
>>30324424
If you don't shoot with anyone it doesn't matter, but if you do shoot with people then your friends will hate you. I don't give a shit at the range, but since I don't shoot at ranges anymore I dropped the Lantac Dragon because my buddy did nothing but bitch.
Also, depending on the brake some of it will be sent back to you, in which case that definitely matters.
>>30324601
Matech is overcomplicated shit, Magpul MBUS is good if you're cheap, Magpul MBUS Pros are the best price/quality ratio and are way stronger than most people will ever need, and KAC's are the best overall, though way too expensive as a set to be worth it.

>>30324392
Cool rifle.
Anyone recommend a handguard with a profile that would look good with this upper (IE octagonal shaped)? MLOK 9" preferred.
>>30325019
Jesus anon why would you even buy something nick doesn't personally approve
Confirm/deny: A dimpled/fluted/whatevered barrel is stiffer than an undimpled/unfluted/unwhatevered barrel of the same weight, but bendier than an undimpled/unfluted/unwhatevered barrel of the same diameter.

>>30324241
Thanks for the god-tier explanation, bro.
>>30325046
Yes. The geometry of the dimples will create more material away from the central axis, creating a greater resistance to certain deformations, and also in local areas.
Yes, removing material will always weaken an object in many ways. (an exception is crack initiation and certain fatigue issues, but that is something else)
>>30325070
Yea, I'll be sure to post once I get it.
>>30325101
God damn anon I really like that
>>30325046
Aren't dimples just so that the gas block screws don't fuck up? I'm not sure what effect it has on the performance of the barrel other than that.
>>30325046
Stiffer for the weight. The fluted barrel will not be as stiff as the original, but it will weigh far less and be stiffer then an equivalent lightweight barrel. Make sense?
>>30325101
Ch reciprocates though, amirite?

>>30325019
I have disposable income I can spend as I desire as well; the difference is I don't make stupid decisions that I'll replace in 6 months when I get tired of lugging around two pounds of poor cheekweld and no storage space.
Does my rifle look bargain bin to you? If it does, you're pretty retarded. Maybe you should've spent your "disposable income" on a good optic rather than aesthetic parts.
>>30325035
>Jesus anon why would you even buy something
Yeah, be poor like Giddy here.
>>30325050
You could get a PRO or ACO in that range, and that's by far your best bet in terms of a red dot as far as I'm concerned. You could also get something like a Leupold if you want a variable mag optic.
>>30325054
It's unnecessarily heavy for a stock that has no storage space and poor cheekweld. They're beautiful, strong stocks, but the result of the strength is extreme weight and a proprietary buffer tube design. Slapping one of those on any rifle and you'll have one of two (or even both) of these things: an extremely overweight rifle toted by one of those "U JUST NEED 2 WERK OUT" fatbody types, or an extremely unbalanced "I LIKE THE WEIGHT IN THE REAR OF THE WEAPON ANYWAY" ignorant types.
I've helped a few of my buddies build their ARs and many chose UBRs and then talked about all that stupid shit like that stupid strike plate attachment, but every single person I know dropped it in half a year after they realized how it was the bottleneck of their rifle.
I just got this XM16 upper for a retro build but it has a different front pin and I was wondering what kind of lower I have to get, because it is too big for my current Mil-Spec lower
>>30325147
Nice
>>30325163
>an extremely unbalanced "I LIKE THE WEIGHT IN THE REAR OF THE WEAPON ANYWAY" ignorant types
If your weapon is rear-heavy it just means you need more coolguy stuff out front.
Are there any good AR10s on the market that I can buy or would I have to build one?

SOPMOD, LWRC mini and micro SOPMOD, almost any of Magpul's other stocks (barring the MOE), the BCM Gunfighter if you're a faggot like me, or really most other stocks. The UBR is a DMR stock and nothing more. If you've got a DMR, then the UBR will be a great stock, but other than that it's terrible.
>>30325200
KAC SR-25, Daniel Defense's AR10, or if you feel adventurous you can try out the DPMS G2 for everyone. If you want to build one then have fun digging through two different part styles and building a rifle for way too much money.
>>30325243
I enjoy it thoroughly and if I had the choice of a TA31 or a TA33 I would probably go with the TA33 all over again. The TA31 is awesome and is better than the TA33 in some ways, but I really prefer the TA33's lower magnification and longer eye relief.
>>30325254
The wrong one.
>>30325237
Surefire weapon lights and nothing else.
So, I took off those little inserts that the B5 stock has to help with the rattle, and I have to say, I kind of like it better without them. You lose some of that anti-rattle, but it adjusts a lot more smoothly now.

green is fine
when you need the illumination it won't matter what color it is
also lime green is not as common as you would think in the PNW
Sighted in my 5x optic today and finally rang steel at 300 yards. I know that's pretty close, but it's further than I can repeatably shoot so far with shit-tier ammo with my bolt-rifle. AR eats shit ammo and I can ring the gong about 90% of the time. I can already tell this is going to be an addiction.
>>30325365
>do you not go innawoods
You mean leave my house?
Are you crazy?
>>30325215
Gotta say, I disagree with the UBR bashing going on. It's solid as all hell, has a great cheek weld, and looks sexy to boot. It is heavy, I will gladly agree with that, but it doesn't bother me at all. I would happily buy another if I built another lower.

>>30325343
I use my AR to hunt hogs on a few of my friend's properties. My buddy also has a 500yd range that I shoot at and when we shoot it's usually for six or more hours at a time, and during that time we usually don't put our rifles down because there's nowhere to place them.
>Looks pretty good, exact for for that dumpy looking stock. Is that a 3x30 ACOG? Do you like that Muzzle Comp?
See? Not bargain bin, just sense. I've used the UBR enough to know that it's shit for anything other than a gun that'll never leave the bench or a DMR.
The stock is nice and weighs less than the standard carbine stock. There's a single drawback, and that's that the QD sockets suck on it. Yes it's a TA33, and I like the Lantac but I got rid of it for the MAMS because the concussion was annoying my friends and because it can't mount a suppressor.
>Why not both? I have four parts left to buy: 16" Barrel, VG6 Epsilon, some BUIS, and either an Aimpoint T2 or Trijicon TA31H/Green
>Why not both?
It's perfectly fine to do both, but then why waste income on something like a Primary Arms and a Vortex while waiting? Continues to show a not-so-smart pattern of spending money, in my opinion.

Does it have an FSB or are you completely without any sort of sights whatsoever? If it has an FSB, get yourself a Magpul BUIS rear or, preferably, a surplus KAC 600m rear off ebay. They'll both cost about the same and are sturdy. KAC is better, tho.
Git good with that, just don't expect anything like precision beyond 50m with basic irons. Then, move on to optics and figure out your pricerange.
>>30325905
Melonite is what you get when you buy a PSA Freedom upper. It's a way of cheapening out on chrome lining, which is the industry standard. For a rifle that's just shy of $3000, a melonite barrel is hangyourself-tier.
>>30325953
None at all, sadly.

Thoughts on pic related?
Got a bonus at work so I might go ahead an order one tomorrow morning.. Just wanted to know what you guys think before I lay down the cash.
>>30326065
ya, thats a regular price
>>30326021
had an accupoint on my other upper, from your recommendation.
its still on my mind as getting one again or the leupold mark 4 with offset t1 for this upper.
>>30326072
>there's nothing wrong with the stock
Should I sell my TA-31F acog and get an exps3 and cash?
>>30326075
The furniture is even uglier in person than it looks in photos. Also that huge gap between the receiver and the handguard makes me want to vomit.

What is the resale market like on fiber optic scopes?
Any good deals come up?

Ive seen beat to shit ones go for about $650-750 on ebay. Probably stolen too. Mine is only 2-3 years old, has all the original shit and Im a calicuck so faggots here pay more so Im hoping I can get $950ish.

I really do love my Accupoint.
>>30326075
get the m4v5, v9 or m4a1. That one in your pic looks ugly as fuck
Is it generally a good idea to go lightweight with a SBR /CQBR type build or will it become too light and difficult to handle?
Pic not related.
>>30326075
Buy a DD upper and slap in on a prebuilt PSA Magpul lower. It's cheaper, performs just as well, and you'll get better furniture that doesn't look like shit. No one buys DD prebuilt rifles.
>>30326210
why dont you want it anymore?
>>30326231
i ended up selling mine to get the mark 4 thats on this. its a really hard decision for me whether to get one again because those mark 4s will be unavailable next year.
>>30326260
>got a basically-free mk4 1.5-5x
>it's just wasting potential sitting on a .300blk rifle
I should sell it next year for more than MSRP and buy some actually good glass. I'm super fucking disappointed in it, it's literally worse than a Strike Eagle.
>>30326293
worse than a strike eagle...? thats a joke right?
you probably got a fake lmao
>>30326260
Never really get to use it to its full potential. Its an extremely nice optic though. Most ranges around here max out at 100 yards. I mostly shoot clay targets or steel at 25-50 yards. Figure an exps3 in tan would be better and lighter
>>30326249
>Is it generally a good idea to go lightweight
Yes.
>>30326026
I just bought a used one for $45. The finish is a little worn but it's functional.

its ugly af
>>30326319
Nah. Early model with no illumination and capped turrets.
Glass is better (though not by enough to matter on a low power optic), but it's more like a ~1.7-4.9 than it is 1.5-5x, and the 20mm objective/1" tube and capped turrets really kinda kill its usefulness. It's pretty fucking dim in anything other than full daylight
>>30326462
Who makes that pen? I need a writing utensil that'll tenderize the shit out of my hand the whole time I'm using it.
>>30326506
not much writing going on with that pen m8
>>30326396
The biggest issue I have is the locking mechanism. It's super stiff and not smooth. It's shit compared to any number of other stocks that can be had for the price.
The geometry of it is shit compared to any number of stocks that can be had for the price (especially a SOPMOD or VLTOR)
It was a bad decision to get this stock and it's going to be gone asap
>>30325941

I have neither of those. Where did all that come from?

How do you like your Gibbz upper? I am going to put one on my 9mm SBR to keep gas blowback from my face when using a can. A little pricier but they look cool. Would a billet upper look weird on a standard lower?

I'm probably just making assumptions as to who you are in this thread, which would be the person I originally replied to at the very top of the thread with the Cryptic bolt and the Gibbz upper.
>>30326595
That handle...noice
>>30326554
Almost as nice as MFT stocks
>>30326548
In over a decade of using all manner of colapsible stock so have never used lube on a buffer tube, or had to wear out the locking mechanism. If that's what you have to do to a stock then it's a shitty stock.
I don't care for the leaf spring design.
>>30326641
that's the area where the gas block butts up to when you push it all the way on.
Trump man when I get the UBR I'll give you an actual review written by someone without the unwarranted complex of being superior.
The general consensus is that yeah they are heavy buy they are solid as fuck and people who have actually bought them who post here (not nicks "friends") have all seemed really happy with them
I've got a stripped polymer lower I haven't done anything with. Is it safe to blast the thing with spray paint until I get it some special snowflake color for a build? I'm not sure WHY spray paint would be bad for polymer but there might be something I'm not thinking of here.
Shit pics until I get out to the range

>Stealth grey
My nigga. Were you the one asking me for more pics of grey on black before?
>>30326653
if your gb lines up there is no problem
>>30326673
I know that, I'm asking how much space there should be between the gas block and that area.
Low light steel is so much fun. The spark shower is amazing.
>tfw added new gong to the 200 yard range
>>30326632
>didn't change the garbage reticle for any of the later models
>all models are 1" tube/20mm objective
>glass is the same in all models
Literally my only complaint that wouldn't apply to later models is the capped turrets.
The Strike Eagle is brighter, with a better reticle, and should be more durable due to 30mm tube. It also has more elevation and windage adjustment range, again due to the 30mm tube. It's more like a 1.4-5.9x, so it has a more accurate and more useful magnification range. It's anywhere from $190-$350 vs. $800-$1100, so it's about a quarter the price with the *only* tradeoffs being marginally worse glass and being longer.

Although you are right about my spending choices, I have a bad habit of only thinking Cost = Quality.
I mean in most cases, but I go to the point of ignoring cheaper items.

Shouldn't be any. They should touch.

you must have not shot long enough with scopes to really understand actual optical quality.
>>30326668
Risky. Be sure to ventilate toxix spray paint fumes. Careful there.
>>30326754
Risky because it's polymer or because it's a lower? Or both?
