I use PMC M193 in 5.56, got pretty good accuracy today that I will confirm tommorow.
PMC 55g .223 sucked asshole and I'm convinced that was an ammo issue. It also chronos at less than 2700fps out of a 16".
Used to plink with M855 but that was dumb so I'll save mine.

Shanks. I wasn't actually going for an urban look. It's just gray, tan, and brown with some local greenery to stencil with. I probably should have done it with a mag in the mag well since it's gotten sticky and my mag won't drop free, but I can probably sand it down.

No for a while. I want to get a FLIR monocle and/or a 4x4 utility quad, and the Acog does the job required so it's fine for now.

someone else was making those carriers for colt and they stopped using them.
the C marking is rolled into place on "real" colt carriers.
yes i undersatnd the implications of calling that a fake carrier but it's exactly as i suspected. it's when colt tried to contract out to other companies because it was post sandy hook.
>>30403564

Did you go shooting in sultan today or what? I hit up my Darrington spot. Dirty as fuck. Shits going to get shut down, I know it. Feels fucking terrible man.

>>30403640
"real" colt C markings are rolled
>>30403643
Do you want a light pull, or a lighter pull and slightly crisper break?
>>30403590
Yea, it's a pistol range but almost everything is rifle rated so I can set it up out back for AR or milsurp rifle practice.
I eventually want a whole shooting gallery, so i buy a little every year to add to it. The Texas Star was this year's buy, polish plate rack hopefully next year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FNDCL6Bpqs
so I went to the gun range today and got a 100yd lane. I was trying to teach my mom to shoot at 20yds and the guy at the range got all mad because there is a "50yd minimum". My mom and I were taking turns. Then he tells us we have to put it to 50yd or go to the 25yd lanes.
faggot pissed me off
>>30403657
Whats so trash though? It is exactly the same thing.

>streamlight
>4 oclock instead of 1 oclock where god intended it
yeah, no, nothing wrong with it at all
>>30403673
3/8 AR500. Figure non-magnum pistol at 10, rifle at 100. This Texas star is 3/8ths too. They also make a 22lr version.
You can buy angled rifle steel targets which you can safely engage at much closer ranges too.
>>30403553
it is but i'm only 5'9" so it's basically cheating
>>30403576

Streamlight isn't Inforce. And this one is literally a brand new product that is hopefully PA AMD tier of budget but good.
>>30403702
Why not 11 oclock?

My acog balances it out
does anyone make taller flip up sights?
i want to co-witness with my lower 1/3 mount.
>>30403639
>>30403722
there are so many different types of ammo that it can do anything you want.
standard xm193 is a decent round that will fuck you up if it hits you and the fance ammo will do even more nasty stuff.
5.56 is pretty damn good.
>>30403194
What are some of the best looking keymod rail covers? I need some ideas.
>>30403730
thats fine too, if you're lefthanded. i wouldnt want my light pushing against me/my gear when wearing a sling.

Should I sell my AK and get an AR? Or at least an AK in 5.45
>>30403657
Reminds me of Kim Kelly
>>30403792
Keep 7.62 ak, build/buy ar in 5.56 and 5.45. More the merrier
I was looking at low end retail AR's, and ended up going with a S&W M&P Sport II.
After the fact, I was asking someone at a local fun store about why they wanted so much more for the M&P Regularz vs. Sport II version, and was told "Muh MilSpec", and chrome lined bore.
But the Sport II has a Melonite treated BBL, inside and out, which is supposed to be more bettah. Lower friction, no chipping, more durable, and higher Rockwell hardness.
The lower and upper on the Sport II are also made out of the same Aluminum alloy as the Regularz.
So once and for all, dispel the myth that it's not a bad fun, or tell me why the Regularz is better.
From what I've been seeing, a Melonite treated BBL is way better than chrome lining.
so for under $200. is ARP the barrel to get or is it BA Hanson?
>>30403823

We gonna #PaintThisGun this weekend.
#NoFlyNoCryStillBuy
How does it feel to know that we're all probably on a watch list now?
Gonna paint the handguard, upper, and lower with the green. Leave everything else as black accents. Gonna make sure to do this inside with no ventilation for maximum fun.
>>30403814
I'm not really a prepper but I figure it'd be best to stick with one rifle, and if the AR can put people down hard at a longer distance that's what I'd want.
I think the only advantage I'd have with my AK is I could beat someone to death with it, and I the rifle itself lasts longer.
Maybe more reliable in the field but the difference is pretty negligible afaik

$140 shipped for KAC Taupe a good deal?
>>30403643
MBT
>>30403639
Unlike 7.62 or 5.45, there is a hell of a lot of variety in ammo.
Some of the military loads cause a crapload of cavitation (m855a1, mk262, mk318) but are expensive. Some are inferior to 5.45's yaw but super cheap and decently effective out to ~200m (m193).
But, unlike the x39's, there is a large variety of not horribly expensive but good expanding softpoints (no, those no-name "softpoint" loads from Tula/Wolf/Barnaul do not actually reliably expand, they've all been tested). These leave horrific wounds and reliably expand out to ridiculous distances (500-700m depending on barrel length) while being very accurate, and start at 50cpr.
Then you have the total "range ammo" shit: M855 (despite its cost it sucks for killing things) and your generic 55/62gr FMJ's and OTM's.
So, the tl;dr version is:
>if you shoot 5.56 at living targets, if you're using anything that might maybe even think about doing anything other than EXPANDING (not fragmenting, not tumbling) you're doing it wrong
>because of this, it shits all over both x39's
>>30403851
just roid up if you're open to the idea.
i want to do it but it's too expensive and i'm afraid i'll fuck up and wake up dead.
>>30403840
You can make less weight work by pausing at certain parts of the movement, or by going slower.
It'll cause a little more hypertrophy that way too.
>i like using the rear sight in conjunction with the rds
You still can. The T2 shouldn't have much parallax at all.
>>30403866
np
>>30403851
You'll get there soon. Just work on your form, and the weight will go up.
Also try sumo if you have long femurs
>>30403867
>$140 shipped for KAC Taupe a good deal?
YES
>>30403870
Test is cheap. Start with that and MK677
>>30403841
Do stock, too
>>30403910
I'll keep the stock black for now. If I decide to paint it I definitely can do that really easily after the fact.
>>30403868
Thanks anon.
I was fooling around with an AR at my lgs and it felt good. Made a fool out of myself when it came to that little bolt release button, and I thought I broke it when I pulled the bolt back and tried to push it forward, but when I figured it all out I enjoyed it. My only complaint was that it felt like a toy, but I'd probably get used to it
>>30403835
Ya both are mine, just finished the bottom one. Mags are $7 D&H from PSA. Great mags.
Grill is tori nonaka
are muzzle brakes worth it? do they decrease accuracy?
>>30403941
>are muzzle brakes worth it?
If you want recoil reduction.
>do they decrease accuracy?
They usually have no effect or improve accuracy
>>30403906
>You still can
yeah but i have how low the dot is, it's no big deal, i was just curious but there isn't so i'll stick to the pro.
>mk677
idk, i want to but at the same time i would hate myself if i did . not sure why i'm against using it but i am.
maybe one day.
gonna zero my 10.3 tomorrow, tell me why i should zero at 50m and why not 25m.
>>30403955
*hate how low
>>30403927
No prob. I like both AR's and AK's, but if I had to fight with one or the other and could use something other than issued ammo (M855) it would be an AR hands-down.
At least in part because I'm confident in my ability to reliably hit man-sized targets out to 350m offhand or out to 500m from prone supported with it, I've never been able to shoot AK's that well (in part due to ammo, and in part due to dogshit-bad sights and an almost total lack of appropriate magnified optics)
>>30403965
Use your ballistic calculator to find out what 300 is.
It might be close to 25
>>30403955
It just helps recovery and muscle, tendon, and joint health.
>>30403965
Because with mk262 from a 10.3", a 50m zero will be closer to on at 150 than 200, and nowhere near on at 300 if you zero at 25.
>>30403982
Yea that's one disadvantage the AK has.
Alot of people think that just because you can get railed parts for almost all along the top of the rifle, that it's as good with sights as AR's though. But the dust cover moves alot, and the gas tube will melt your optics, so that leaves you with just the rail and I guess the rear sight block
>>30403965
with 50yd you are going to hit +/-2 inches from POA all the way out to 250yd
>>30403984
>It just helps recovery and muscle, tendon, and joint health.
i'll look into it
>>30403992
only using xm193 from the 10.3
>>30404027
it works best with test and roids
>>30404006
I mean, picatinny-topped side rails are a thing but those almost always put the optic up high enough you end up with (at best) a chinweld. Not conducive to consistent shooting even with a "good" optic, and the good combat optics have short enough eye relief to be an issue with side rails.
>>30404044
fuck it, i'm just gonna eat cookies and baconators and hope the animal hormones make it into my system.
>>30403835
Not knowing who Tori is!? (it is excusable since she changes her hair color often)

I honestly don't know. I've always been more into handguns and then I was out shopping one day, felt an impulse to spend a bunch of money on a new gun, next thing I know I'm walking out of Cabela's with a Bushmaster QRC (pic related). Now I'm just looking to modify it more to my tastes, but the problem with that is that I don't know what my tastes are. This is actually my first rifle other than my obligatory nugget and a 10/22 my dad gave me when I was a kid.

You gotta cut off that delta ring and maybe cut off the bayonet lug. Using this hand guard will allow to get a free float without the hassle of removing the barrel and that damned FSB.

5.56's effectiveness comes from its ability to fragment. The dirty little secret is that it wont fragment at longer distances (specifically velocities slower than a certain figure i.e. 2700fps)
thats pretty much it
i'm strictly speaking military rounds, i know how to cater to an ak fag, everything you guys do is military oriented. you dont really have as many non military ammo options as we do so i'm giving you a mil-centric explanation.
tl;dr mil ammo in the AR-15 relies on fragmentation to be the most effective. that fragmentation is based on speed of the round when it hits the target.
>>30404417
Accuracy potentially, barrel life not really.
It's a tradeoff between a surface treatment (no additional thickness/coating in bore) and a really fucking hard, fairly thick coating.
>>30404402
The problem with melonite is that we have no idea how it performs in the long run. It could last longer than chrome, it could not.
>>30404441
There are military rounds that fragment reliably down to very low FPS's
Mk262 for one, and provided Mk318 is what I think it is(An OTM 62g) then it should as well.
Posting melonite.

Dunno, The melonite stuff changes the molecular structure of the chrome / moly the barrel is made of, at least to a certain depth. It isn't a coating, but not sure it wears off unless you've put elebenty thousands of rounds through it.
Chrome is a surface treatment.
>>30404518
Damn moneybags, way to make us all feel bad
>>30404534
QPQ is a surface treatment. It treats the surface of the barrel without adding anything (insert argument over how many ten-thousandths of an inch you have to go before it no longer counts as "surface", whatever).
Chrome is a lining. you are physically adding a layer.
You've literally got your shit backwards.
>>30403277
Does your can cast a big shadow being that far in front of your light?
my barrel is chrome and it isn't the best but it sure isn't a crapshoot

And that's the question.
Treat the metal vs.coat of paint. I'm not judging between the two, just keeping the question alive.
Found a work around for getting a precise dot, it's electrical take with a hole.
>>30403805
busy philips' character in that show was absolutely fucking bananas crazy. i fucking hate females like that.
How often do you guys clean your ARs?
I have a chrome lined Colt and was just wondering if it would be okay to leave the thing alone for a year before I get back to it. Would it have too much problems even if I coat it with a lot of oil?
>>30404554
yes
>>30404534
I've read melonite wears off much quicker than chrome, but that's just what I've read on the subject. Also, chrome affects accuracy while melonite doesn't.

Sauce, if you happen to have it.
>>30404459
the OTM non OTM distinction has nothing to do with it fragmenting.
the mk262 mod 0 vs mod 1 are the same design except for one KEY feature that drastically affects the ability of that round to fragment or not.
care to educate me and ak fag what it is?

>>30404402
I own ss, plain cmv, chromed and nitrided barrels.
The nitrided barrel is my favorite.
But that's also because it's just highspeed as fuck.
>>30404690
cannelure
>>30404715
Surplus jacket too
>>30404690
mod1 has the cannelure (77gr SMK w/ cannelure vs. 77gr Nosler or SMK w/o)
It fragments at the cannelure.
Most 5.56 bullets fragment at the cannelure.
>>30404762
Pic
>>30404722
No.
Try again.
>>30404773
If not bonded then its the cannelure.
>>30404781
Bingo.
See >>30404764
>>30404794
Whats all the talk of Mk318 being marketed as Barrier blind ammo if it isn't bonded then.
So the marines also adopted a round that doesn't fragment via cannelure, and that also makes no fucking sense.

How do you like that GDI mount?
>>30404852
Recoil did a study on returning to zero, and GDI was in the top 3. Over Larue btw
I was going to get a PSA upper/lower which would run around 500 bucks. I have an extra 100 bucks that I want to throw into it. What do I get /arg/?
>>30404878
ammo
>>30404822
Both mk318 and M855A1 have a cannelure.
mk318 has a solid gilding metal rear, only in front of the cannelure is lead-cored. It basically splits at the cannelure, the butt of the bullet penetrates while the lead-cored nose fragments.
>>30404683
Diff. Guy. Speaking to accuracy. Chrome lining adds material to the inside of the bore over all the grooves and landings which is why it is said to affect accuracy adversely. It changes the inner dimensions. Qpq is not a lining. It hardens to barrel. So a shitty barrel is still shitty, a decent barrel still decent, a good barrel still good, but very hard.
>>30404878
$25 more and an mbt
Where do I mount my weapon light and pressure switch when I get it?
Never had one before. Don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
Also. My PA micro dot is on the way. How much more like John Wick am I gonna be?

I have a little less than 5000 rounds which is enough for me.
>>30404920
mount it where you rest your finger. use zip ties or velcro
>>30404894
well, I guess mk318 has a groove, not a cannelure.
They serve the same purpose. Pic related.
>>30404937
larue mbt don't eat dinner for two days
>>30404117
I strongly considered it, but I've already scratched and beat up that thing enough in the short time I've had it. It deserves a break.
>>30404920
I like my pressure switch on the top rail but it really depends hold you hold the rifle.
>>30404939
Mount the pressure switch where I rest my finger?
The kit I ordered has both zips and some double sided tape. Should the light be as far forward as possible? Should I worry about muzzle blast affecting it with my comp/brake?
>>30404952
I would certainly hope so, although I have seen videos of Mk318Mod0 failing to separate, or even expand at all for that matter going through ballistics gel. Obviously thats not optimal.
IMO Mk262 is still the better round, and M855A1 is probably the best .mil round out there.
I haven't seen any actual ballistics gel testing of Mk318Mod1 though, so that could be better.
You all think it would be dumb to sell off most of my collection and buy a few nice guns with it? Right now I have several very nice Noveske AR's which I love, a PTR for fun and a few other neat gums I just don't shoot anymore. I'm getting tired of trying to buy/ build a million guns though to try and fill every possible nich or interest. I dont like to have a bunch of unneccessary shit i cant nove around with me. Should I sell most of them and just build/ buy the .308 AR of my dreams and spend the rest on ammo/ accessories?
>>30404930
It used to have a carbon upper, as well as a non rail bayonet lug gas block
My buddy got 10 stripped lowers, what are good LPKs that don't have shitty triggers etc
>>30404935

see this is why i know you're retarded and i've been calling you out on it the past few days kiddo. you need to stay in your lane.
>>30404979
I was under the impression the only thing they changed in mk318mod1 was the powder, it uses the same bullet.
>>30404969
Yes
>>30404979

The PSA one with no FCG.
Nodoby packages a non-shitty trigger with their LPK.
>nobody packages an AR-Gold, Guysnamedlee, or MBT with a LPK
>>30405001
ive heard DD LPK triggers are decent but you wont actually know until you try. anyway, thats only what ive heard on the internet so who knows
>>30405001
The LPKs without FCGs
