Shit ballistics edition
Old thread >>30530326
Nostalgia edition insurgency has begun.
>>30535497
You're shit ballistics.
>>30535497
I can't find a blemish anywhere and the color is perfect. I'm extremely pleased
>>30535533
Did I ever tell you that you inspired me to get an MOE SL for my recce?
I like how thin it is, it really makes the rifle feel svelte.
My beater
>>30535552
It's on the darker end of the spectrum just like I wanted.
Now I just have to decide what color to make which components. I know the parts I want just not sure which to make black and which to make FDE, coyote, tan, sand etc etc
>>30535497
>original spessgun
I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool.
Just installed the STR. Most comfortable stock I've ever shouldered.
>>30535377

In the event one of you doesn't get the helmet I'm also selling a standard non Gucci ACH
Jump on paths deal first because gunfighter cut helmets hold their value very well
>>30535517
I know I'm going to regret this but I'm gonna pass right now, I don't think it's a smart choice right now. But if you can't sell it hit me up
>>30535567
>beater
has personality thats all
>>30535552
Hnnnnnng
>>30535497
But muh fragmentation velocity and effective fragmentation distance! Even though crane carefully measured velocity at the inception of the mk18 concept and included it in the presentation, these guns are cqb and entry weapons, the effective fragmentation velocity is disputed and runs as low as 2300 ft/s, and the precise effect of fragmentation on real world lethality on well nourished Western hemisphere actors rather than ballistics gel or starving Mujahideen is unlikely to be the limiting factor for these guns
>>30535583
Clearly never shouldered the TI-7 featured in OP
>>30535564
No you didn't but I agree man, was pleasantly surprised by that stock.
>svelte
Fancy Pants McWebster over here. I guess it is the perfect adjective though.
In sticking with the hijacked thread theme of nostalgic throwbacks. RIP M4gery :_;

Nice looking rifle you go there Shark. Someday I'll get an ACOG.

Fuck the Jews.
>>30535497
What do I need to take into about in order to make the softest shooting gun possible.
Gas system length?
Buffer and spring?
Adjustable gas block?
Muzzle device?
Will an adjustable gas block do away with the buffer question?
>>30535631
Yeah it was a great clone gun...pb got my ACOG.
That's a good looking rifle yourself.

>nostalgia
First pic of my first AR the night a put it together.
A delton M4 upper with KAC rail and a PSA lower with DPMS parts kit.
16" barrel and carbine gas system, 1:9 twist, commercial buffer tube--I made all the n00b mistakes.
>>30535533
but double dubs tripfag only the bottom one is nostalgia inducing
well maybe the dissipator also ... maybe
>>30535661
>PSA lower
whats wrong with a PSA stripped lower?
honest question? im using one to start an A4 build because im too impatient to wait for a prebuilt A4 to show up from colt or FN
>just going to slap a BCM 20 inch upper on eventually, and populate the lower with nice parts
>>30535661
>I made all the n00b mistakes.
I don't see a bipod, chink-tier rail or an M4 stock.
Does anyone know anything about CBC industries?
Their prices are disconcertingly low, but I've never heard of them.

>>30535689
he didn't free float it
don't plenty of people use DPMS LPKs to no ill effect?
>>30535598
Yea it's ugly but It's been with me for a while.
>>30535688
>whats wrong with a PSA stripped lower?
Nothing, I have several. My first one was from their very first batch--the SN is <60.
>>30535689
True, I mean I'd been in the infantry for like 4 years at that point so I knew a little; I just hadn't ever built an AR so I didn't know about barrel profile, twist rate, etc.
That rifle has morphed into my current SBR setup over the years.
>>30535700
>don't plenty of people use DPMS LPKs to no ill effect?
Their triggers are horrendous. Like dragging a baby grande piano along a gravel beach.
>>30535653
Have you seen the LaRue MBT on VGT? $140 ain't bad.
>>30535692
Looks like another fly by night ar15 assembling company that takes the cheapest shit and slaps it together. They use Hera Arms rails which IIRC Hera arms is what Vulcan arms became. Vulcan arms was considered on of the worst AR brands years ago back when delton, Rock river and Bushmaster were the top mother fuckers. I'd steer clear of it were my money.
>>30535689
you say that like the M4 stock is such a bad thing, beyond disqualifying a weapon from sitting with the cool kids
>i also dont mind A2 grips or the normal front sight base
>>30535661
That's taking it back there. That's really not bad all things considered. My first black rifle was the Sportical...then proceeded to get learnt up all proper by just buying everything you told me to for the next few months haha.

>Bushmaster
Are Bushmaster lower receivers made in the late 90s any good?
I have an opportunity to buy a lightly used one and I really like the snake logo
>>30535779
>late 90s
That's right near the end of when Bushmaster was still good, it really depends.
If it's a pre-Cerberus rifle though, it's a top of the line setup.
>>30535792
It's currently in a "post ban" setup. My dad ordered it in 98-99 and shot it once.
Given that I'm not going to use the upper or stock... How can I fell if it's a pre-Cerberus lower?
>>30535695
Is that the K grip in FDE? how much?
>>30535744
I saw one for like $150ish I thought the other day. Could be the same one. Not bad at all.

Yeah, that should be a real sweet shooter.
IIRC, Cerberus didn't take over until after the ban was repealed, but you should google that before you take my word for it.
>>30535839
Yes, looks like anything before 06 is good to go.
>>30535754
KAC rails for the win

It's the Moe grip, I think I got it for $20, I'll do 15$ shipped. It's really not been used, I have the trigger guard as well, I just didn't get it in the pic.
>>30535854
Depends what you're doing.
I've been using KAC drop ins for like 5 years. They're solid and can accept accessories that need to be zero'd (like an IR laser in my case).
My only gripe is that they don't have QD sling points incorporated.

a long time ago in a galaxy far away, as an 11M, zeroing was 5.76 inches per 100 yards with m193 and plastic handguards
what is the tightest grouping the equipment allows a talented user with mk 262 (or other match grade), a 2 MOA red dot, free floating and a nice but not incredible trigger? 2 MOA?

>>30535577
Color is fucking perfect. I'm excited.
How often does Geissele do these sales?
>>30535910
With milspec ammo and a non-free floated rifle, probably ~2.5" groups at 100 yds with the occasional 2 MOA group.
>>30535887
Here try this one and ill contact you there. It is read only so be sure to give me your email address.
[email protected]
>>30535695
How much for just the complete upper?
>>30535867
It was a blemish so I figured there would at least be SOMETHING messed up.
>>30535748
M4 stocks tend to be wobbly while still being pretty bad at pulling facial hair, and are a bit limited on sling options. But they work decently well and are a good value.

>>30535748
>like the M4 stock is such a bad thing
Compared to everything else out there? Yeah, it is bad.
>who here remembers this?
>>30535910
Makes sense. I've dumped plenty of money into an MRP with 18" RC SS barrel and now this BCM 18" Mk12 clone. Supposedly both are 1/2 MOA guns, and I'd believe it seeing some of the results from shooters more talented than myself on those two rifles, but given my go-to is CBC 77gr OTM and my own skills, I never expect to outshoot even mediocre rifles under most conditions.
If you're not going for a precision bench gun, then free floating doesn't really matter a lick as your ammo, own abilities and the posture(s) you shoot from will outweigh the negligible gains from free floating. My worthless .02 anyway.
10.5" CHF upper from PSA are back in stock.
I haven't seem those in stock for like a year.
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-10-5-hammer-forged-ar15-upper.html
>>30535977
1.5 MOA at most, unless you have a match barrel.
>>30535930
Almost makes me want a MK4
>>30535624
My trip was off earlier
I like the barrel and $200 is what it's worth but i can only talk myself into it right now if I get it for super jew prices
ty for humoring me bb
>>30535992
>not FFing for the mere sake of it
Soon.
>>30535910
Depending on the barrel, sub MOA is possible if the shooter really knows what he's doing and its actual Black Hills mk262 and not an off-brand 77gr otm.
>>30535887
>>30535947
Hit me up here:

Because im a dumbass and closed the tab with the other address.
>>30536004
I mean both of my current ARs have FF barrels so it's pretty obvious I'm with you here. I wouldn't recommend it as a required course of action though.
>>30536002
>Almost makes me want a MK4
I wanted a mk8 and have been in contact with someone on here about trading.....but seeing this in person I might have to just keep it.
>>30535993
>1.5 MOA at most, unless you have a match barrel
cool, thanks
see, the reason it's my limiting factor is the other shit is in the category of "shit i can see myself replacing for shits and giggles whenever" whereas with a barrel i would wanna get full service life outta it -- or, i suppose, sell it -- before installing another
it WOULD gimme an exuse to get another black hole barrel
>>30535925

>Compared to everything else out there? Yeah, it is bad.
except A1
>getting cucked this badly by marketing
>>30536044
It's not so much as being outright bad, just the practice of cheaping out at every single possible opportunity.
(in)
>>30536004
I wouldn't bother free floating a rifle unless it has 4x or more magnificaiton
>>30536063
Yeah but an ACT is just a step above a milspec trigger. If you're cheaping out at every opportunity then you'd just grab an anderson trigger kit
>>30536088

I see you haven't heard the good news brother. Are you interested in the eternal salvation of your soul? Come meet with us at the church of 1913 this Sunday brother, it's not too late to find the light.
>>30536111
It's like $30 more than a basic FCG, just enough for an impoverished anon to think he has a leg up on everyone else in his brackets while still causing resentment for people who can afford to drop three figures on a good trigger. It's a perfect storm of perceived superiority and sour grapes. Hence, again, the post.
>>30535604
Didn't even realize it was a TI-7. Are they really that much better?
>>30536082
>>30535952
Are these really the examples of blems? A non visible screw cosmetic defect and the other one unable to find the blemish?
So hype to get mine this weekend
>>30536161
honest question: name a better trigger that is the same, mechanically, as the GI unit
>>30536184
Don't listen to him. He has shilled that shit stock for the past week non stop. Now he's going to link you to the website he owns so you can buy it
>>30536191
Yes.
>>30536191
I've owned 3 blem lowers. I have never been able to figure out what made them a blem, on all 3. They aren't selling deformed, non-functional retarded receivers usually. Just ones that might have one little thing that makes the autistic spectrum of their customers send it back for a new one.
Guys, did I fuck up?
>>30536212
In spectacular fashion at least.
10/10, would use for 3gun, courses and HD.
>>30536193
What's so great about being the best of a mil-spec configuration?
>>30536161
Ill concede that point but the rest of the equipment in that picture suggests just cheaping out and not trying to act superior about inferior products
>>30536212
Isn't that one of those surplus light amplification devices from old tanks?
>>30536212
If thats a polymer lower then yes if not then no, either way you should put a bayonet on it
>>30536228
It's an image meant to get a rise out of insecure anons, brah.
>>30536227
some people, me, have money but want milspec for whatever reason -- hence me posing the question in a fashion that tried to avoid seeming ass blasted about your "impoverished anon" comment
(im not one of those guys that thinks milspec is /superior/ to anything, im just trying to spare you the TLDR and not hijack the thread)
>>30536229
No, it is a Spanish version of the PVS-4
>>30536233
No, billet lower with a Colt R0977 everything else (fcg, upper, stock, etc).

10.5" CHF PSA barrel... Should I have them enlarge the gas port at all if the rifle will see mostly suppressed shooting?
![WP_20160122_002[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NnZ73zi.jpg "WP_20160122_002[2].jpg")
>>30536277
ADCO is good shit.
>>30536267
No joke.
>>30536303
Just tell them what you intend to use it for and they'll be able to deduce what needs to be done. They did a function check on mine for a hundred rounds to see if the port needed enlarging after they cut down my 16" mid to a 14.5". Dunno if they can do the same, but it sure as shit wouldn't hurt to ask.
>>30536191
Yep. A $375 rail for $187.50 that I literally cannot find a blemish on. If there is one you can find they are generally inconsequential. With Geissele anyway. Different outfits have different meaning when they say "blemish"
>>30536333
Should I email them before sending it off or just include my wants/needs in the comments of my order?
So far all I've put was that I want the gas block pinned and installed ($55).
>>30536343
I'd shoot them an e-mail before sending it off. Also make sure you follow the instructions they have about sending your barrel in, they will send your shit to the bottom of the to-do list if you make them waste their time.

When I bought the barrel I had a clone in mind but ended up going a different direction.
I intend on cutting the barrel and putting it on a pistol lower. I'd like to cut it so the m4 cut out is the threaded portion.
Does anyone know what the barrel length would be?
>>30536258
You like ALG?
Did you see what I got?
>>30536401
(You)

I dont ever see myself buying something from there but if someone is on a budget Id send them their way
Found one more blemish and the wife agrees it's not quite FDE and not quite black
>>30536539
It's honestly really nice
Thank you to the tripfags who pointed me in the right direction for my stripped lower purchase. I was in the old thread asking about a good deal, and I found an Anderson am-15 stripped lower on sale for 50 bucks at a local store. Am I on my way? Did I just purchase the seeds of freedom?
>>30536571
Did gud
>>30536543
I think i see the major blem
>>30536571
Good snag. Was it $50 out the door? If so that is a damn solid deal. Even if you were $65 out the door that still is pretty good.
So I officially have twenty seven 30 round magazines. I still need more, but first I need to get some ammo.
>>30536579
Got the V1 13" version of that rail waiting for me back home. Can't wait to put it on my new build. It looks so slim and sexy. Did you go for the V2 for aesthetics in regards to the integral rail or did you have another reason?
>>30536569
>>30536579
>>30536614
It was 60 dollars with 10% off. So 53 something plus the tax. I returned the parts kit I picked out to grab a new edc blade for 25% off. Gonna go back before it ends for the parts.
>>30536184
I just got mine today and this thing is the fucking Cadillac of stocks. It even has a friction lock exactly like a Magpul SL.
>>30536194

Worth it?
>>30536917
>for $350
definately
>>30536917
If it's a little bit cheaper.
I know of a place where you can get complete R0933's for under twice that. And when I say complete, I mean everything but a lower.
>>30536951
Yeah but then I'll have to be a faggot and stamp a lower even though I said I don't want to. Hard to pass up the chance to get in on an old factory Colt 733 that's still a shooter though.
>>30536959
Mind sharing that place? I'd rather have the R0933 with the flexibility to throw on a carry handle or an M4 RAS and red dot. Especially for that damn cheap.
What size end mills would y'all recommend for an 80% lower?
>>30537006
That depends. Are you using drill press, router, or vertical mill?

>>30537136
No it is not. Look into it, you will see that a short flute long form factor center cutting 1/4 diameter square end mill is required for anyone cutting the trigger pocket.
I have extensive machining experience. You will be surprised at the OAL required to avoid contact with any of the major commercial jigs or the buffer tower. See for yourself.

what am I supposed to do with all these stickers?
>>30537218

>>30537224
Look around, but a 4 inch, short flute length center cutter that is carbide that will last forever is hard to find. Too long of a cutting length will chatter on you and fuck up your trigger slot, giving a wobbly trigger, and it's the last step, so if you fuck up there the lower is done.
Also, remember, the drill bits are the cheap widely available items, not the end mills. So there is logic to buying the purpose specific end mill and getting the drill bits from any ol' hardware store.
Suit yourself though, I'm just trying to give a /k/ member a good deal off manufacturer price, like last week when I sold a KAC on here for a great discount.

Thanks mayne.
I'm stoked af

What's in the box man
>>30537135
I'm /gleefully playing with new raifu/ here. Bought face to face so no package.
>>30536571
Get your lowers while they're hot. I think we'll see a spike to near 2013 prices within the coming months.
>>30537330
mag and mount. mount came with a cool pouch
>>30536395
is the T2 buffer worth the price of admission? I keep hearing shit about bolt bounce with them.
>>30537135
I was supposed to get my new BCG and buffer in today but they ran out of the buffers and spent too much time trying to fuck me out of more money to ship the buffer separately 'when it gets here'
>>30536395
What gas block?
>>30537204
Remember when I told you to get a G2S?
Pepperidge farm remembers
>>30537163
I'm just being a dick because I can
The ALG rails are nice, I haven't personally handled one but I trust GC's opinion+ the ALG SCB I've got it nice.
Also ALG is Geissele's wife's company or something like that.
>>30537356
That shipped fast.
I put a quad rail on my dads ar-15 and now its short stroking and the front pin is extremely tight, also the ridge on the left side of the upper doesnt line up with the lower. Did i bend the upper reciever? I used a vice block and only tightened the barrel to ~35 ft-lbs
>>30537356
gotta check that r e t u r n t o z e r o
>>30537204
people suggest the SSA for a reason
now if you want unacceptable light for a trigger, try an ALG AKT on an AK. It's fucking stupid how hair trigger that thing is. Downright dangerous.
>>30537380
I enjoy the lightness though. Once I started practicing it's easy to control the stages now
>>30537390
Short stroking might be a misaligned gas block undergassing the rifle.
Not sure about the pivot pin.
That misalignment is normal
>>30537400
I've shot that too, it's actually what made me spend the dosh on the SSA-E in the first place.
>>30537061
>now just gotta get my quadrail gone and it's time to get on the train to FF town
Holy shit it's happening.
What was it that I promised to do when it happens, again?
Anyway, after I sold the A4gery, the buyer posted a stoppage online that was the weirdest shit I've ever seen - a primer popped out of the case, found its way right into the gas key hole and got stuck, turning the gun into a straight-pull.
>>30537072
Do you have any other resources for 80% lowers?
>>30537451
Yes, what are you interested in?
>>30537384
Yeah. I had a problem with the order and he replied under 30mins and fixed it. 10/10 would orde again
>>30537399
lmao gotta get it on first
>>30537163
I would have bought one too, but I was busy being an employed laborer and shit.
>>30537163
There were huge issues with the store crashing for hours.
>>30537356
Nice man hope you enjoy them
>>30537415
Its an a3 front sight post so i was under the impression that if the pins go in, youre in allignment. I was mostly worried about the misallignment of the upper though. thanks.
shopping for a lower receiver before it gets any more insane.
which manufacturer makes a solid multi-cal lower?
and why the hell are some lowers like sixty bucks and some a few hundred?
is it the roll mark or what?
>akfag btw
>>30537465
>but I was busy being an employed laborer and shit.
sounds like weak excuses
>>30537472
does SAT work for ya for the light?
>>30536614
What's the pack senpai?
>>30537483
How does MBT compare to SSA-E or the SD3G?
>>30537474
roll mark and little deals about being properly in spec and the quality of the finishing. hold up and Anderson or PSA lower next to a MEGA or even an Aero and you will see where the extra dosh goes real quick.
p.s get a MEGA or Rainier if you can find them. top tier forged lowers
>>30537483
Yeah man the only hiccup is that I gotta be at work around 2
>>30537535
not even close, guys-lee is light years better.
>>30537483
>sounds like weak excuses
No worries, I might get a lucky deal on a used Geissele Mk4
>>30537535
i have a ssa-e and the MBT is better imo. no idea about a sd3g
>>30537569
im off so im good with early, if that works for ya
>>30537456
Anything I guess.
I was going to go the easy jig and router, but I also have access to a drill press.
are the mills from 80% lower good? If not, what bits do you suggest?
Really anything you can offer would be appreciated. I'm not skilled with this type of stuff as I've done very little but I figure I have to start somewhere.
>>30537608
black or ddc
>>30535497
Anyone know what hand stop this is?
>>30537648
>black or ddc
DDC, why?
>>30535548
Is the installation on those as easy as it's claimed to be?
Make way, richfags. Basic bitch AR comin' through.

no reason, just curious.

Oh my god this thing is so much better than the stock Stag trigger that came with my LPK
>>30537677

Excellent find bruh. I've got m lok too. Thank you
>>30537670
It'd be fine if it had a front sight and a non-retarded stock.
>>30537678
>DDC is straight sex
I don't disagree, but I was hoping to sport OD furniture. My austim won't let me do that with a tan rail.
>>30537428
>What was it that I promised to do when it happens, again?
Shouldn't have brought that up, now I'm gonna go look through Desuarchive. :^
> a primer popped out of the case, found its way right into the gas key hole and got stuck, turning the gun into a straight-pull.
That's called "Pulling a Giddy".
>>30537678
that's sexy af tbqh
>>30535533
My Aimpoint is the superior Aimpoint.
>>30537627
No prob. It's hard to get into because the information is spread all over the place. The best sources are the manuals and videos from the jig manufacturers if you're using a drill press. If you're using a mill let me know.
>>30537627
>are the mills from 80% lower good
Generally any end mill with the proper characteristics will get the job done well. For materials carbide>cobalt>high speed steel. Not sure if you're the same anon as above but I'm selling a new unused end mill at a discount so let me know.
>>30537627
>what bits do you suggest
See the pic in >>30537072
Make sure the drills are brand new or very sharp, otherwise you will need to use reamers as well. You can consider using a transfer punch and/or #3 starter bit with a drill press but it's not strictly necessary. It's worth using new or very sharp bits for the trigger/safety selector holes because their tolerances are very tight.
Here are some mistakes people make when milling. Don't be one of these people:
"When I went to drill the holes for the trigger guard the table tilted slightly throwing the hole off."
"The drill stop was loose and I drilled through the floor of the trigger pocket."
Make sure everything is tightened down, including the work piece, tooling, fixtures, or the machine itself.
Don't get dyslexic and mix up numbers in the sepcs.
Don't forget to reset depth gauges on tool changes.
Use a ton of WD40 when drilling.
When drilling, drill only one drill diameter down at a time then raise the bit to clear out chips.
Don't accidentally run into your clamps or jig with the bit or end mill.
Double check specs before doing anything. Recheck between steps. If something looks off, check everything again before going any further.
Use a squared press, tight chuck, sharp quality tooling.
hey pathsofglory can post more pictures of your helmet specifically the outside and top
What barrel length is that, also what is the name of that rail?,thanks
>>30537356
Got mine today too. $40 is hard to beat so i just got two and a bunch of other crap.
>>30537678
Is that a 13" rail on a 16" barrel?
Asking cuz that's what I want.
guys

I have a question regarding ATF ruling 41f which removes CLEO signature on NFA forms, and substitutes a requirement for "notification."
Is there any information on what shape this notification should take? Do I photocopy my Form 1 and include a letter stating my intent and that this constitutes fulfillment of my obligation to notify? Do I just send a letter saying "hey chief I'm building an NFA gun" and leave it at that?
>>30537356
Who the fuck makes those mags? I'm new and I forgot.
>>30537833
Fuck, nevermind. I see the ATF has posted a new draft form 1 with instructions.

Nothing new AR related in forever, all my limited gun money has been going towards my soon-to-be-mine P228
Plus I'm pretty satisfied with this setup tbqh, I still want a B5 SOPMOD eventually but it can wait

That is a pretty good price. Good job. I need to get a knife. I hate being such a city boy at heart. I've got 4 firearms and I still don't own a fucking pocket knife.

It is okay. Honestly man I'd skip it though. It has had one section of stitching break and one plastic strap bit break as well.
>>30537670
What the fuck am I looking at. You've got some weird fucking gimmick stock, no dust cover, only a rear sight, a railed gas block, and a suppressor? I'm very confused.
Jealous of the can though. Not jealous of that stock.
