Currently debating between just irons or going ahead and getting a 1-6x for my rifle.
pistol will stay irons/ red dot.
Asking again.
Absolute or lower 1/3
>>30517474
Is anyone here a fire fighter or have knowledge about SCAB/SCOTT BAs?
3x is best x
>>30517559
I like absolute.
>>30515052
they're pretty good if you like thiccc handguards, I have the one with the rail and it will fit buis fine
>>30517555
1-6x is a pretty awesome option
I purchased an 18" wylde build kit from PSA on a whim. Suggestions as to what the fuck to do with it?
>>30517555
1-6x
>>30517559
Do you have a fixed front sight?
>yes
Lower third
>no
Absolute
>but I have a horse face!
Still absolute. You just get extra cheek weld.
Is H2 buffer too much for 16" carbine gas? I want to smooth it out without affecting reliability.
>>30517565
>extraordinary cocks
You would.
>>30517619
Get an adjustable gas block and use a regular carbine buffer and spring.
>>30517559
I like absolute. Lower 1/3 is too high
>>30517488
You betcha!
In for glad to see Anon make a general!
>>30517559
Absolute definitely. You want your red dot as close to the bore as possible. If you've got flip back up sights then they will be out of the way regardless.
>>30517572
Some ass in the other thread claims that he sent a letter to the ATF asking if you can combine a cheek saddle and a shockwave. I think he's just trolling but I'm still mad. A few days back he posted an excerpt from an old ATF letter in where the ATF is ruling that the combination of the SST1 cheek saddle and some particular sling mount rail option is illegal. He claims that somehow that letter has bearing on our configuration even though the ATF letter he posted clearly is only regarding the particular configuration they were talking about. That configuration has no Shockwave brace and so the letter has nothing to do with us.
>>30517484
It is a knockoff of the KX3 called the KAK Flash Can. It is just to redirect blast on short barrel.s The KX3 is like $130, while the KAK flash can is $30.
The only thing is the KAK flash can doesn't actually have a baffle and it is aluminum. If I could do it again I would get one of the steel knockoffs that actually has a baffle, like this:
http://www.jsesurplus.com/fieldsport223krinkmuzzledevice.aspx
I'm sure I'm about to bring a shitstorm down on myself... but fuck it.
I'm wondering if there is such a thing as an adapter that will allow a guy to put AK-intended brakes and hiders on an AR barrel.
I have a no-frills AK brake that I fucking love, and although I think 5.56 doesn't need a brake, it also does a decent job of managing that flash.
>>30517566
Is that a TA11? I was looking at getting eventually for my newly acquired first AR.
>>30517630
Fixed front sight, so I can't into adjustable gas block
>>30517646
TA33R-H. The TA11 is 3.5x
>>30517559
ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUT
>>30517655
Do you own a hammer and have more upper body strength than a 10yo girl?
Can you tell the skinny end of an object from the fat end?
>>30517474
So I recently bought a green mountain 20" 1/8 cl barrel. Do I absolutely need an a2 buffer, and if so, what simple lightweight stocks would you reccomend for it?
I was looking at the ace skeleton rifle stock, but read it's got some breakable plastic parts in it.
>>30517645
Step 1: Buy .308 AR with unthreaded barrel
Step 2: Have barrel threaded to AK pattern
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
>>30517643
Is there any guides on how to install the CAA cheek riser on the shockwave?
>>30517709
>.308
I fucking stated the caliber I was working with. >>30517645
>although I think 5.56 doesn't need a brake
>5.56
>>30517704
Let me rephrase my statement: I want to keep my fixed front sight.
There is no need for that faggotry.
>>30517720
Yeah I have a bunch of pictures and a write up but I'm feeling spooked because of the asshole anon from the last thread.
Does anyone have a CAR-15 clone?
Figured out how to get good pictures at 12am
lots of light + 1.3sec exposure
>>30517593
>>30517609
That's what I was thinking, I can't really think of a downside other than >1lb
>>30517735
Oh.
>faggotry
Nope, youre SOL. Sorry.
Best iron sights?
Must be folding. Kinda like the look of Troy sights but also KAC 600m and mbus pro front
>>30517474
TA31 best fixed magnification
>>30517643
I sent off the form 1 for my pistol anyway, I took the saddle off a while ago.
>>30517804
Also, build list.
>>30517731
So fucking salty.
You said 5.56 but never implied you already owned one. Your post led me to believe you are an AK fag who is looking into AR's, and I gave a suggestion.
Considering this is /arg/, consider yourself lucky I bothered to reply to your post, because the tripfags will probably ignore it.
>>30517410
>don't forget, it was in an episode of Firefly
which episode?
>>30517645
>>30517829
No offense dude it is kinda a dumb question. There are so many brakes that are meant for ARs 1/2-28 threads. I'm sure you can find something you like that works well.
>>30517779
I ask a simple question and you get all butthurt when I don't want to convert my rifle into one you deem worthy.
Thanks for the shitpost I guess...
>>30517871
one of the flash backs. The young soldier who gets shot in slow-mo (bendis?) in the first episode has it, but not in that episode
>>30517670
Ah, my mistake. How do you like it so far? Do anything different?

>>30517829
Elitism is very unbecoming. I'm already in the AR neighborhood, by the way.
>>30517879
We'll see what happens. I figured it was worth looking into using the same thing I already like, but doing so isn't worth $100 altogether.

The muzzle threads on an AR are usually 1/2-28. The muzzle threads on an AK are usually M14-1. That's a metric thread code for your brake, and a UNC thread code for your 5.56 barrel.
Lucky for you, you are not the only person to have thought of this.
>>30517978
FUCK maybe.
>>30517987
Thats the thing, if a bear came, no one would even know I was fucked because my guns are unloaded and my buddies are on the other side of the river.
>>30517990
I only brought it out when it became dark.
>>30517994
Nope:(
>>30518019
I want it too anon.
>>30518028
Why aren't your guns loaded?
You're in the woods, they should always be ready for trouble.
I think you'll be fine realistically
But I'd have a hard time sleeping.
>>30517938
That's a nice pic and appreciate the info, anon. Last question, any reason you choose red? I know they offer green and something else, also why did you go with that specific reticle vs the other options?
>>30518027
>Lucky for you, you are not the only person to have thought of this.
I figured I wasn't, but all my searching kept bringing up airshit
>>30517943

Dan you are a pleb.
>>30517978
Fluffs gets it. There's something terrible and fearsome in those woods pushing all the yotes and the 100 burning eyes away. The owl is a known predecessor to supernatural/extraterrestrial encounters.
Chances are it's just a grayyyyy lmao riding on the back of a skinwalker. You're not getting out alive either way, might as well die rested.
>>30517943
Haha hell yeah man sounds like you're having fun.
My last spooky animal encounter was a bull moose just last month. I bought a Taurus Tracker .44 magnum kinda on impulse after that.
>>30518013
Yeah man for $50 bucks you're already at passable dedicated AR muzzle device. Pony up another $50 and you can get something pretty gucci.

You have your AR for a reason bro. Coyotes spook easy, they would be gone after a quick string of shots.

"He went out shitposting"
>>30518061
I wanted red because I feel that shooting with a green reticle into a sunny green forest/field would get washed out pretty easily. I chose the horseshoe/dot because it's a much bigger reticle than the chevron which translates to easier + quicker to pickup and aim with. However, the chevron is a little more precise. I still hit targets at 200m (max distance in my area) with the horseshoe dot

I want an optic that is somewhere around 4x fixed or variable that doesn't require rings/has integrated mount. Clarity is most important.
Obviously already looking into ACOG options but was wondering about alternatives that aren't a waste of shekels.

See all sight ?
What do you guys think is the cheapest I can get a 14.5" barrel plus muzzle device onto my 10.5" pistol?
Should I pay a gunsmith to swap the barrels out and pin the muzzle device? Or should I buy the tools and do it myself? I don't own a vice currently, but I do have a full automotive set of tools.
I would have to sell my Shockwave setup but I'm sure that won't be too hard to do.

I'd have to get a new gas tube though right? The gas block from the 10.5" should be reusable?
>>30518028
Start recording now so we can use the Intel we recover from your body to prevent future skinwalker attacks
>>30518199
You're not going to get a more well rounded fixed 4x optic than an ACOG. Low power variables are popular, but notice how most serious end users also have an offset red dot in combination. Even with a throw ring they are not great at constantly going 1x to 4x.
I'd opt ACOG with a reflex piggy backed or offset if you need an optic for close in work.

Seems like a pretty neat thing, the old version has good reviews.
>>30518242
That's kinda neat
>>30518217
>>30518242
I like my classic a lot, didn't know the new one came out so I'm definitely looking at that as an alternative to irons on my 300 pistol.
>>30518278
Yeah!
The old less compact version is half the cost, which would probably serve better as a backup if you're being cheap and don't mind the bulk.
I'm considering it.
>>30518288
I think the new version would be good for a 45* mount for 3gun or something, since it's slimmer.

I'm poor in the same way, I understand.

>>30517735
I think JP has an adjustable FSB that fits the bill
>>30517740
That was me. Just fucking with you man.
I bought the CAA myself thinking it would just attach right on. It obviously needs some modification. I could probably take a crack at it but I figure if someone has already done the leg work I might as well take advantage of it.
>>30518388
Neat plane
Right now I'm spending my money on guns and soon- motorcycle stuff.
Plan is SBR stamp, Motorcycle class to ezmode a license, then gear and a bike of my own
What's the most mall-ninja rangequeen .308 rifle I can possibly build? I want everyone to KNOW I'm a homo without a second glance.
>>30518476
Id be too terrified of getting run over by a car to use a motorcycle
>>30518473
Jesus christ man don't do that.
Okay so it really isn't that bad if you have a dremel. You have to modify the shockwave a bit to get it to fit but it took me about 30 minutes.
Are you going to be up for a bit right now?
Are there any negatives with mbus sights?
>>30518498
I rode my brother's DIY motor bicycle and it cemented that I needed to have a motorcycle, It was love at first ride.
>pic related, want
>>30518553
I've ridden dirtbikes a few times but the idea of having no protection from a semi truck...oh man
>>30518547
sightpictures cluttered compared to the standard sights. still usable but enough to piss you off if you are used to the traditional one.
>>30518566
Hopefully I can get out of the way quick enough.
The car I drive now won't do much against a hard hit from a semi so whatever.

>>30519072
- 16 inch upper with midlength gas system, chromelined barrel and BCG (especially chromelined gas key), and a picatinny rail (fixed front sight might save you some money for the final addition of sights)
- Decently reviewed lower parts kit and buffer tube assembly (mil-spec)
- magpul buttstock, handguard, and pistol grip if you don't like the one your lower parts kit came with (cheap but sturdy)
- good trigger if you want it (doesn't have to be Geissele, but go for a decent two-stage)
- optics (a good red dot should work), and backup iron sights (magpul MBUS does that well), and if you got an upper with a fixed front sight you may be able to save some money by only needing the rear backup iron
- a shitload of PMAGs (IMPORTANT)
- a shitload of ammo (ALSO IMPORTANT, Wolf Gold is good stuff)
You should get a rifle that looks a bit like this (though this one is sans the red-dot). Sturdy, reliable, and g2g.
>>30519190
Guys-Lee mk8 was my first choice but..
The ALG emr is honestly pretty fucking cool dude
>>30519194
You're probably okay, the FBI isn't about actually doing anything about the crimes they investigate anyways
>>30519190
Geissele MK8, MK4 if you want rails on the end.
This Midwest Gen 3 M-LOK is fantastic as well, but I have a Geissele coming in just for the gucci factor.
>>30519200
>The ALG emr is honestly pretty fucking cool dude
It's so ugly though
I have a Geissele MK4 coming in though, wishing it was an MK8 but it'll do.
>>30519331
>it's so ugly
;_;
You know the weirdest thing about tonight is that my experience is actually pretty spooky now that I think about it.
Saw a dude 5 miles away, walking the other direction, while driving in.
The same dude came to the property I'm on around 7PM on a 4wheeler and started introducing himself as the neighbor.
He said "I've been meaning to come and meet the owner of this property for years now"
When I asked him where he lived he got all quiet and pointed downriver and said "About a 20 minute float", which means he was lying through his teeth about living because I just fucking saw him walking the other direction on the way in, really far away, in the woods.
I'm spooked
>>30519343
I'm sorry :(
On a firearm that consists of mostly flat surfaces, having such a large circular piece on it just clashes too much. Plus those gross straight lines going horizontal across the whole handguard. Just ew.
>>30519385
You have a loaded gun right?
You're *probably* gonna be okay
>>30519389
>mfw I love those straight lines
It's okay though, considering it will only really have a front sight, maybe a Afg / vfg and the QD slings point anyhow
>>30519385
>>30519406
He also could just be socially retarded. That happens there sometimes
>>30519406
Definitely not hating on what you like, that's fine.
Just a HUGE difference in interests. You like the MK8 and the EMR which is a COMPLETELY different look.
What stopped you from getting the MK8 again?
>>30519406
I have a shotgun next to me with 5 3" 00 Buck loaded but its best if I don't touch that, I'm drunk and I like my tent without holes in it.
The AR isn't loaded atm, left ammo with vehical because I knew I was gonna be drinking a ton today.
>>30519416
Or he's a fucking skinwalker
>>30519437
They sold out before I got paid. I was going to buy them but my pay didn't come in until like 12:35 and the sale started at 9pm for me
>>30519440
Kek good luck senpai. You're alone?
>>30519481
No my buddies are 50 yards or so away across a river
>>30519481
I got mine at Primary Arms and it came with a Super Gas Block for $200 or so. Seemed decent enough of a price, and they weren't BLEM's.
>>30519515
Why your buddies so far away?
Are they gay and you didn't wanna play?
Or....
OH! You're the gay one!! :^
>>30519523
Interesting. Of all the blem stuff that's been posted here (including mine) have been hardly blemished or not at all
>>30519559
Well yeah the BLEM thing isn't really important, but I'm just saying.
>>30519563
What makes their gas block ""super"" ?
>>30519571
Good question.
It's pretty super that it saved me the trouble of ordering on separately I guess. Otherwise I'd guess it's just the gucci branding.
>>30519582
Ah okay.

>>30519147
>Trump is above linear reality
kek
>>30519599
Still looking for something that makes the gas block better than others/worth $50-60 compared to others around $20-30 and I can't find it. Gucci brand it is. Definitely would've got something different if it wasn't bundled with the MK4.
Don't be too jelly though, I'm in Maryland. Heavy Barrel mandatory for a rifle build, pistol builds can be whatever though. But I'm not old enough to have a pistol (21 in MD).
But yeah, the woodsy areas can be gorgeous.

It seems that there's a way to drill through your barrel and pin this gas block in (they call it "bomb proof" or some shit) and that's the extra cost. I think I'll stick with the set screws.
Why haven't you finished the lower?
>>30519646
Set screws make the most sense
I haven't milled it yet because
1. Busy at work. Haven't pushed my buddy about getting it done
2. If I finish it right now today, I install my LPK and then wait until I get my stock and all
>>30519624
damn look at all that weed

Whats the gas length on the barrel?
how good is the vortex sparc 2? I got one coming in the mail
>>30519646
He posts pictures of that 80% lower in every thread.
If you fire the last shot from the AR and start pushing the trigger does it do the the empty "click" noise only once, or every time you press it?
>>30519944
once
>>30519946
Ok thanks, i am making a shootin' game and want to get these details correct. also does the slide get left in the opened position?
>>30519950
there isn't a slide on an ar-15, its the bolt carrier group, and yes it locks back on empty

I'm seriously so glad you asked that question.
I hate when a shooter game has the gun go "click click click" when it's empty
>>30519943
ikr? mine is cooler
>>30519955
I hate that stuff as well. It always hurts me when i play an fps game and some seasoned soldier yells "i need a new clip!" .. for his AK47..
Leaving for AT. See you weinymancers in 2 weeks.

Why are rail systems so expensive? It's like 10 dollars (if that) worth of machined aluminum and sometimes, steel.
Thnx for the imput everyone.
Absolute cowitness it is.
in for blem
>>30520093
because of greed, that's the only reason.
>>30520093
the majority of AR stuff doesnt cost much at all to produce but supply and demand yo.
Same reason basic as fuck Colt and Bush rifles were 1000+ before all these build your own companies cropped up.
>>30520330
you probably already know this, but all you have to do is take out that spacer with the holes in it on the PRO to get absolute cowitness. personally I like lower 1/3 I think its more comfy.
>>30520331
have you found the blem on that
>MI said the rail I ordered would be back in stock in a week

Yeah i know but I want another MRO. I have one with low 1/3 and I like it as well.
>>30520342
There are small very small water spots on the bottom rail, I'll try and take a picture tonight. Other than that it looks perfect

False. You can buy long guns across state lines as long as it's from an FFL. You'd have to do a transfer through an FFL if you bought a long gun from a private party. Only hand guns (or something that can be legally assembled as a handgun, like an AR lower) cannot be bought out of your home state in any case.
I'm still waiting for my cheap Vortex red dot to detonate and kill everyone within 15m after 4 years of use now.

My next build is going to be a 300 blk as a suppressor host.
I can't decide on 8.5" vs 10.5"
What does ARG think?
>>30520800
10.3 noveske
>>30520800
My vote is 8.5, since with something like a Saker, Omega, or SDN6 it'll be about the same length as an M4.
Should I buy a title 1 M203 receiver and put it on my M16A2 clone?
>$1200
>$250 for barrel
>$200 for stamp
>$250 for handguards and sights
I hate my money anyways.
>>30520831
My thoughts as well.
The only thing I'd be giving up is performance with supersonic ammo, meaning it would be less suitable for hunting.
But on the flip side, I already have dedicated hunting rifle(s). As a suppressor host, a 300 blk rifle's niche would be with ultra quiet subsonic ammo.
>>30520545
ooh, those mounts are pretty fucking cool looking but muh qd
>>30517474
Is the Strike J comp a good muzzle device?
>>30520844
It would still be sufficient to 100 with most bullets.
It drops enough past that to get into holdovers anyway, at least for hunting accuracy.
>>30520425
>>30520881
Its very good for the money but still barely top third from raw performance.

fug
ar ACOGs worth?
also, nigger with the PTR and AR post moar dammit
>>30520982
I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I dont think so for most civilian uses. I would prefer a good 1-6x.
>>30521003
i wont give you shit, i feel the same. fucking cost more than the rifle, and even if i used it on my other guns, the hassle of removing and zeroing...ah go fuck yourself.
ill just get an aimpoint or similar and be done
>>30517572
looks pretty enough
I don't know shit about buffer assemblies.
What buffer tube and spring do I use if I want to build a 12" AR pistol?
>>30520982
If you want a combat optic, yes they are worth it. Nothing wrong with a good 1-6 or 1-4 tho
>>30521031
wilco
thanks for the assist
>>30521023
I'm using carbine spring and buffer, but I feel like I want something heavier.
Going to try an H2 at some point
>>30521023
Pistol buffer tube, regular carbine spring and buffer
>>30520982
Not in my opinion. You can get as good or better glass, for cheaper, and have a more flexible magnification range with a quality 1-4x or 1-6x
>TFW the more ARs you buy and the more you shoot the more happy you think you would be with an m16A1 and Commando clone only
So here's a question, what's the absolute cheapest AR I can get that has A1/A2-style furniture for aesthetic appeal and a cool plinker? I've gotten a little overwhelmed searching for ARs in the past, figured I'd ask for some guidance here.
Pic related, I basically just want one to go with my late 70's/early 80's oper8or gear for when I go fucking around innawoods with my buddy
>>30521044
Cool man simple enough.
Same story if it was 10.5"?
>>30520972
Pending in PayPal or bank account?
>>30520972
Thanks for using PayPal services goy. :^
In with best optic.
>>30521052
One of these days I'll make an A1 clone; I made an A4gery though and I just wasn't satisfied with the accuracy or handiness of it.
>>30521057
Yep. May want an H1 buffer with 10.5 and longer but that will depend on how oversized the port is in your barrel. Nothing wrong with being a bit overgassed as long as its not too bad.
>>30521073
I felt the same way about my M4gery. Heavy, grouped nearly identical to my 14.5 at relevant ranges. Not getting to shoot my mod 1 clone enough I'm thinking about trading it out. Lower is already ready for an A1 clone upper...
>>30520982
>ar ACOGs worth
Glass is good, they are of robust construction, dat warranty, you can probably pass it down to your kids as long as you don't throw it in lava, but they cost probably 50% more than they should.
I read somewhere the military gets them for about $650 per and Trijicon presumably makes money on this. Now compare it with consumer prices.
If you have the money to spend ~1,000$ on an optic and not give a shit and want an ACOG? Go for it you will enjoy it. They are honestly nice little fixed scopes.
However if the price is at all an issue to you then you can spend your money more efficiently.
>>30521064
Paypal
>>30521069
I'd use something else. but ebay was ezmode and I just wanted to get the rail gone to recoup the cost of the MK8 faster
>>30521092
I definitely prefer overgassed than under.
Thanks for the help.
>>30521100
*A4gery
Well, I guess the M4gery too. Heavier and less ergonomically pleasing than the LW recce gun.
>>30521100
$500 for your mod worst :^
>>30521106
Did he send money as gift or invoice?
>>30521111
x2.7 and we got a deal.
Been talking to a guy on the boards about picture related too...
>>30521100
>>30521109
Yeah, I think the optical mix of ARs is:
ultra short 9mm SBR
~10.5" barreled 5.56 SBR
14.5-18" Recce/SPR jack of all trades rifle with a 1-4x/1-6x
A dedicated 20"+ precision AR with a stainless bull barrel.
>>30521113
It was a buy it now, so it's an invoice.
He's got good feedback so I guess I'm not worried, but it still feels weird/ I'm dumb.
>>30521127
If I ever went for a 9mm carbine there's no way I could skip a hk94/mp5 clone.
I'd agree on other points though. I'm looking at a 16" upper to replace the mk12 clone possibly as well.
http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-SS410-16-Mid-Upper-KMR9-p/bcm-urg-mid16-ss410-kmr9.htm
ve me all the precision shooting ability I want out of 5.56. Put my longer distance precision money into .308 and bolt guns.
>>30521135
If it's through eBay you're good. They guarantee purchases and sales
>>30521118
Dat type II
>>30521150
>If I ever went for a 9mm carbine there's no way I could skip a hk94/mp5 clone
Yeah but having a pistol and SBR that both use Glock mags is a beautiful thing.
>>30521073
>I made an A4gery
except that it looks nothing like an A4, retard
>>30521195
How is that nothing like an A4?

>>30521228
go all the way or go home
>anything except an acog or handle
>>30521294
Nah, Acogs are alright, but spectacularly overpriced.
And for hunting use, a little magnification is nice. It is still rocking a GI matech rear BUIS though.
>>30521303
you don't build clones for any practical reason
what the fuck is wrong with you
>>30521313
Nor is it a true clone; more of an "inspired" rifle. I just wanted a 20" fixed stock/FSP rifle to relive some boot camp nostalgia.
Once I had it all together though, it was a little underwhelming. My Dad wanted an AR for hunting though, so he bought it off me for what I had in it.
And soon he'll have a suppressor of his own for it--just waiting for Uncle Sam to spring it out of jail.
>>30521327
