Dude all metal parts need fucking oil once in a while. I always oil down the outside of my barrels whenever I get a chance.

>Fucking why.
don't price a daniel defense rail.... you'll be mad as hell, also their weights are ridiculous.
an alternative to the noveske NSR is the erathr3 mlok rail. i'm fairly certain the same people make both. they're VERY similar rails
there's 3 rails in that NSR style all made by the same company i think. they're called stubborn mule (SMOS)

light weight barrel will be fine and sub 2moa if it's a decent barrel. they will get hot enough to hurt your hand if you dump 3-4 mags
>>30375538
yeah i've noticed my spikes is starting to do it slightly. i will hit it with CLP sometime.
>>30375542
Either way, most barrels aren't parkerized though. They're either melonited (QPQ) or nitrided.
And yes, while those CAN rust, if you abuse them long and hard enough, it's literally a non-issue unless you're storing your rifle, long-term, somewhere >80% humidity and everything else steel on the gun has rusted already.
>>30375441

>>30375545
They heat up faster, but also cool faster.

Neat, I'll have to look into it, I always loved the NSR, but didn't love it's price.
>>30375587
>Either way, most barrels aren't parkerized though. They're either melonited (QPQ) or nitrided.
wut. every m4gery clone barrel is park'd i'm fairly certain... and those are by far the most common configuration?
ARP Socom or Faxon Gunner? which one since theyre about the same price.
>>30375587
Only the past few years has nitriding really picked up steam for ARs. Plenty of companies still doing it the "old" way especially considering chrome lining is still more durable and parking the exterior of the barrel is still the mil spec.

>>30375606
This is true for M4gery barrels, as it's milspec. The "good" barrel makers are getting away from it though, due to a combination of other finishes being cheaper and more durable.
>>30375612

ffs that's only 5 ounces lighter than an 18" BA hanson (40 oz)

>>30375648
Well, I know the PSA CHF/FN CHF barrels are nitrided now. BHW's barrels can be nitrided (or bare), but those are stainless. My LW barrel that's now a decade old was fucking blued. I don't know about DD or BA.
>>30375660
You mean the space for an FSP? Why not just grind it down if you want a free float?
>>30375646
you gonna get the AE 12th clone for that?

>>30375648
That dude is spewing shit, nitriding is only better at being cheap and almost as good as chrome lining. Chrome is still the king of wear resistance.
>>30375685
he could also get a rail will fit behind it, whatever gas length he has
he'll still have to remove the A2 to install it though right?
>>30375685
It's going to look like a bastard if I were to do that. I mean I can just remove the fixed sight and go free float with a minimal gas block. But I tend to like these sights.

>Also not bad>>30375464 →
>>erathr3 mlok rail
yeah the E3 rail looks better than the NSR in my opinion. i dont like monolithic top rails and E3 cuts the top rail out for most of the length of the handguard. too bad they don't make a 7 inch. also NSR/SMOS/E3 rails use an indexing pin to keep them from rotating, which requires an upper with the corresponding pin hole or you have to drill your own or go without the pin (it's removable)
>>30375631

nah it's not shitty to most folks i think. i just hate how heavy barrels are in general. the regular boring m4 style barrels weigh about 27 or 28 ounces.
an 18 inch SPR barrel weighs 41 ish ounces. to me they're heavy as fuark.

>>30375735
I already have one of those, I just can't seem to put a light where I want them. I put an Inforce WML on the right side, then I put the rifle on top of it and when I take it out to shoot the Inforce WML cracked. Inforce tried to say it was my fault but they ended up covering the cost of a new one after I talked with American Express about their warranty. Thing is it might have been my fault because the gun was on the right side, which is why I want the light to be on the top right in front of the sights.

Steel is gudder, I guess.
The KAK tube is great.
>>30375994
heavier too tho. i am interested in strengthy bufffer tubes. hence my preference for colt's 7075 tubes and rolled threads instead of cut threads.
>>30376003
v7 offers a heavy duty receiver extension as well. While it is extra weight it is at the rear which should help the rifle balance and point well.

Not as good as an actual Aimpoint, but they're honestly the best price/performance optic out there. If we're talking about the MD-ADS, anyways.

>none have had catastrophic failures.
Oh wait, if I remember right ONE RDS had cracked glass after they dragged the rifle around behind a car. Dot still worked and held zero, though.
>>30376080
yeah most buffer tubes seem to be cut thread and 6000 series aluminum. 6061 which is 60%+ weaker than 7075.

It really is. I'm not sure you can give a fair review of the Shockwave Brace without their using their tube as well.
>>30376051
Probably the best reflex sight in the $100-$200 range. I've tried a SPARC II, and the PA MD ADS is better.
>>30376164
Nice rifle! What grip?
>>30376317
>What grip?
Looks like an ergo grip.
>>30376232
Yup, RCA lightweight adjustable. DESU, didn't make as much of a difference as I was expecting, but I blame that on a lack of proper reduced power buffer springs.
>>30376317

>>30376208
I'm >>30376164 and I have a Faxon Gunner. I love it and recommend it. Then again, ARP didn't list a 14.5 when I was building so that disqualified them anyway.
I thought I asked this the other day but I couldn't find a response.
If I want to go with a mid-length gas system as I have been advised to, will a carbine buffer and spring work, or do I need to get something else? I ask because I already have these on hand as leftovers from something else.
>>30376383
14.5" and above will work just fine. I have an adjustable gas system and I have to almost close it completely off to get it to short stroke.
>>30376381
It is more that ARP has made a good name for themselves providing very accurate nitrided barrels and wildcat support. Faxon is still proving themselves as a barrel manufacturer.
>>30376383
Yes they will.
I got a lower on wait, but I'm not sure if I want to build an ar anymore, or just get a rifle length upper to swap out.
>>30376399
>>30376430
Cool, money I don't need to spend!

What is everyone's favorite AR pistol barrel length? I'm wondering if I should go shorter than 10.5"
>>30376470

Fuck IL.
>>30376496
If it is just for funsies you can go plenty short. I have a 7.5" 5.56 on my SBR for a while that was a riot for concussion and fireballs, but went up to 10.3" for suppressed use.
I still have an 8" 300blk that scratches that "barrel ends at a carbine handguard length" itch.

I've been thinking.
Although larue makes good shit, a 556 chamber with factory ammo isn't gonna give me the accuracy I want at 400 yards.
I think I really need a 223wylde chamber and a thicker profile barrel
What are my options?
Larue doesn't have 223 and BA is nearly sold out of 18" stuff
I don't want to end up with a shit barrel considering one of the primary components of an SPR is the barrel...
What do?
Is there any difference in price for attachments that are Mlok vs Keymod compatible? Or is it all screw a picatinny onto it and attach it to that?
Buying a new upper and I'm not sure which rail system to get.
Also, is this a good upper to get if you want something that's not trash for under $500?
http://aeroprecisionusa.com/m4e1-556-16-mid-complete-upper.html
I'll be getting the black 12" handguards either way.

>>30377479
Quad rails generally weigh significantly more than mlol and dickmod.
So naturally if the shooter is concerned at all with weight, a quad rail is not the most logical choice.
Also, saying "a hollow aluminum tube" is an arbitrary term, as "a hollow aluminum tube" could be 2" long and 20' long and saying if it is heavy or not would be relative, wouldn't it?

Let's not throw that inferior word around. I have seen plenty of rail attachments come loose from a rail and thankfully they are tied down to the rail or else they would have been lost. MLOK and key mod rail sections are just another point of potential failure when it comes to the attachment coming off the rifle.
>>30377910
You'd have to remove the already installed gas block (fairly easy) and install the A2 FSB in its place. Or you can just leave the gas block alone and get an iron that mounts on to the picitinny rails on the gas block.

Also, if anyone has or sees an LMT fixed rear for ~$50 help a brother out.
okay so I'm about to get my first ar and I was wondering which method would be the cheapest. I want to buy from PSA cause I'm local to them.
First, just buy the cheapest ar from
Second, get a lower and a rifle build kit
third, go into the store and buy all the parts to build the ar I want.
pic related is what I want, just a plane ar with magpul furniture on it
>>30378071
So buy PSA's cheapest complete lower and cheapest complete upper and slap then together. Don't get PTAC, buy from their Freedom line of products
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-midlength-5-56-nato-1-8-stainless-steel-moe-freedom-heavy-rifle-kit.html
You can get this and then buy a $50 lower and a $99 BCG and be done with it for like $600

Good luck trying to find that
$13 for NOS surplus ALICE mag pouch: Good deal or nah? I know used go for pocket change, but the new stuff is nicer.
It seems like it would be a good thing for the car/truck because I could clip it onto my belt.
>>30378071
That's not far from how my first AR is still configured. Don't go with their PTAC line but their freedom line of uppers should be good enough.
>>30377938
Red Dots are awesome for taking shots at under 200 yards.
You can still hit man sizes targets on the fly at 300, but it starts getting difficult, because of the lack of magnification at 400.
>inb4 but I shoot Red dots at 500 meters!
At a prepared target.
As far as mounts, if you buy from Primary Arms you'll see a tab in the same page as the optic that lets you order a mount with it.
I'd recommend ADM, on an absolute co witness setup.
Some people prefer 1/3rd but I found the functionality of having the same point of aim for my irons and red dot to be nice.
>>30378110
>>30378141
thanks for the tips, but why should I not go for the PTAC stuff?
>>30378153
It's just their cheapest possible stuff that has bad coatings or poor standards. They can crap them out faster and cheaper to people that just want low quality guns to resell or cache. Not really worth the $50-$100 saved.
>>30378175
Ooh okay, I see now. Thanks!
>>30378050
I like this paint, sort of foliage green while leaving the stock, grip and barrel unpainted. Might have to cramp your style and copy that m8

Do it up. Believe that was Rustoleum OD "camo" spray.

But for an LMT sight you'd be better off buying a used or cheap carry handle and cut it down. LMT and DD stuff hold their value well.

It's been pushing 100* F every day for the past week. And we just got our first round of tornado producing thunder storms yesterday so humidity has been crazy.
Such is the life of living in Central Illinois.
>>30378271
In all fairness every winter's first snowfall people here act like they've never driven in snow, as if summer has erased their memory or something
>>30378254
>80*
>melting
>>30378282
Yikes, tornados are spooky af m8. Good rainstorms look cool though, I miss those when I was in SD.
>>30378285
It comes down to people are retarded.
>>30378287
kek I'm hoping it stays warm so I can float the river in Monroe, so many qts
>>30378254
>mfw shop I work in has no AC and needs to be at least 78 degrees at all times
>>30378317
Your job sounds terrible
>>30378306
>thunderstorms are spoopy
Hell fire I feel like such a hick right now. I hate not having thunderstorms, like pitch black sky, lightening strikes, brimstone raining down from the sky thunderstorms.
A damn river float, sheeit Thad a good way to spend the summer I tell ya hwut
>>30378317
Why does it need to be 78*?
Also what kind of dingdong would sell stuff that's temperature sensitive and not have good climate control?
>>30378466
Fishys
>ayy lmao
>>30378475
RIP Germany
That was my guess
Y U No climate control?
Is it just not hot often enough to care?
>>30378213
Was it actually informative or are you just Meming
>>30377945
I was too tired to elaborate but I meant they are too heavy. They seem sturdy as fuck normally
>>30377543
Kek, Gg anon
Buddy of mine has a very small amount of wiggle between his upper and lower receiver, is there any way to fix that outside of replacing the upper?
If your birthday was coming up and you dad wanted to know what you want, what do you say? don't want him spending more than maybe $100 and I don't want him to order online because it won't arrive in time, otherwise I'd say MBT. I'm thinking ammo or a new fishing reel. What do you want for your birthday /art?
>>30378479
I don't know
>>30378533
Accu wedge
>>30378346
Thunder is cool but not tornados. Floating is a great way to spend a few hours on a hot day. Ya gotta time it right tho so the waters not cold af
>>30378533
Accu-wedge in the rear, or an o-ring around the front upper stud above the pivot pin.
>>30378507
No for real it's a great post. At 300 is when a red dot starts to become a pain. lot of great information for new shooters
>>30378542
Ammo is a good idea, wouldn't want him to get jewed at a lgs tho so make sure he knows what to get and what to pay
>>30378554
Shoot boy you don't know fun till you lived through a twister(as long as you don't live in a trailer)
>>30375981
which scope?
>>30378542
Between those two, the fishing reel. That is something he can see for years to come and know he got it for you. Ammo is just a consumable.
>>30378572
>as long as you don't live in a trailer
kek
>>30378568
No shit, between big box stores and lgs, cabelas gas the most reasonable "sales" within 40 miles
>>30378591
Id go with a fishing pole then. Maybe you guys go fishing together for the day
>>30378581
I like the fishing reel idea myself because he'll be getting a fishing boat soon, and I have access to at least three boats right now.
At the range, shooting shit groups
Fuck this gay earth
>>30378581
>>30378600
Probably do it. Makes sense.
>>30375562
Which rail is this?
>>30378631
Are the fish ok??????
>>30378638
Looks like an older Daniel Defense Lite rail before they brought the bottom up closer to centerline to shorten the i-beam profile.
>>30378638
Daniel Defense lite
>>30378645
Yea, they're just sleeping
>>30378645
OK?, they were delicious
>>30378670
tfw no fishing boat
>>30378670
>bass
>delicious
I'd have tossed them back and tried for more crappie
>>30378670
>>30378685
When this pic was taken I only had one pond to fish. You can make out a trolling motor on the left. My buddy made a dock that detaches from the walkway ramp, and can be driven around the pond. Also has a cinder block anchor. Kek
>>30378696
I feel ya. Not the tastiEST fish, but we're culling that pond so everything caught is eaten for now.
>>30378709
kek that sounds comfy. I'd be cool with a little river skiff but there is some good fishing out on the sound here
If anyone wants something from seekins precision, I have a 20% off code I'm not going to use
>>30378741
I'll take it pls
>>30378670
You can come over here and fish for mutant size Carp.
I hear they're edible after you stick them in clean water for a few days. :^
Since PSA is out of stock on lowers, and Primary Arms has Anderson and Gucci, what are saome other alternatives for cheap lowers?
>>30378751
Go see what your lgs has. Depending in your transfer fees and what lower you get online it will probably be around the same price.
>>30378724
:). My buddy is going to let me take his boat out. 14ft aluminum vhull with a 9.5hp motor. I'm looking forward to a day that isn't over 100° to go out. Pretty pumped
>>30378762
So I should expect to pay about $300 for a plain jane lower with an M4 stock?
>>30378775
No, you should expect to pay $60-75 for a stripped lower.
Why would you buy a complete lower if you're going to replace half the shit in it anyway?
>>30378765
nice m8. I need to go fishing, you do any crabbing?
>>30378775
no. buy a stripped lower for 50-100 depending on what you get and transfer fees. M4 stock kit is $40 at PSA and a lpk is like 50-70
>>30378724
>get small boat
>get bow fishing rig
>shoot fish with a bow right near pikes place in full view of the cucks
I would love to do this.
>>30375536
What make is your ar pistol in this pic?
>>30378750
Eww. I never tried carp, but doesn't sound appealing. We have plenty around when I fish Lacygne Reservoir. Caught a 3 pound drum couple trips ago. Unappetizing
>>30378797
Trap crayfish sometimes. Not much for crabs in the midwest
>>30375542
that video is godtier
based chinaman
>>30375778
Can you make the stock collapse shorter or no?
>>30378801
Bowfishing's pretty fun.
Package just arrived...pmags and breakfast
>>30378809
Don't waste your time with carp. Like another poster said you have to soak them for a few days to make them edible but even then it's not really worth the hassle.
>I want a rifle that shoots a high-velocity round
>not getting the one with the shortest OAL
>not getting the one that perfects the bullpup concept
>not getting the one with superior AP capabilities
>not getting the one that has a higher magazine capacity
you all seriously have no excuse.
>>30378801
kek they might think it's cool. have you watched them throw the fish around? People think it's the coolest fucking thing
>>30378819
I feel ya. I did more crabbing last year than fishing
>>30378914
>no quadrails
>>30378809
Thats the joke, because they're a fucking trash fish.
The local mexicans love'em though, only because they usually eat nasty shit like that.
>>30378914
Been there, done that, got my money back and then some.
0/10 put your trip back on Marisa.
>>30378929
Kel. Was thinking same thing to both comments
>>30376115
FACKING HOLDS ZEEEEEERO
>>30378914
>I'm you, but with better range, aftermarket, terminal ballistics, ergonomics and ammunition options
>>30378929
What didn't you like about it
>tfw want to go fishing but you can't use the tourists as bait/chum
Is a 4.5 inch 20 shot group with .223 55g horrendous?
I'm super bummed because my IMI razor cores only shot to 2.5 MOA in a 5 shot group as well.
>>30379018
Use their pets instead.
I normally absolutely love animals, but holy shit for whatever reason tourists that bring their pets (or many of the non-standard service animals themselves, like the "emotional care" ones like monkeys and pomeranians that aren't actually ADA certified) are fucking HORRIBLE about letting them run rampant.
>...hey sir. Your monkey just shit in the produce cooler.
>It's okay, he's a SERVICE monkey!
>yeah yeah I saw the shitty amazon vest that doesn't meet ADA regs. Now clean it up and get out.
>b-but muh SERVICE ANIMAL
>doesn't meet ADA compliance, get out
>I'll sue you!
>Okay, but leave first.
>>30379132
Yes, that's bad.
Yes, a 2.5 MOA 5-shot is also bad.
>>30379154
What optic did you use for those?
>>30379160
Nikon M-308 4-16x42
>>30379132
Are we talking vertical or horizontal stringing, or just all over the place?
>>30379165
See thats the thing, I have an 4x ACOG, and I feel like if I could see my target better I'd do better.
>>30379175
More vertical stringing than anything
>>30379182
This was shot with a 1.5-5x Mk4
But yeah, aiming error is a thing. There's a reason benchrest shooters use ridiculous levels of magnification.
>>30379182
How are you shooting? Are you rushing your shots? I get sub moa with my acog
>>30379193
What targets do you like to shoot at? I'm using shitty one red dot stickies from wallmart.
>>30379190
Vertical stringing is most commonly lack of consistent recoil control shot to shot.
>>30379207
Shoot at red center dot, aim back at red dot, let the trigger reset and when I'm ready to shoot again I take the shot.
