Yeah man seriously. The aesthetic is solid.
Is that the Vortex Venom? Nice and small. The K2 Do you have flip up sights? If you get some might I suggest the MBUS PROs? They have a very low profile so won't mess up your rifle's lines much.
Flip your pictures man. They'll be more enjoyable to view that way. Also Lancers are the best. I need more. How do you like that stock?
>>30580698
We're trying to combat the knee-jerk reactions. My father taught me to be skeptical.
It is crazy seeing your shots, seriously DR8COs look a lot like yours. It has a very clean and realistic feeling. Hard to describe. I don't know anything about photography.
Not me in the picture. Guy I met while hiking.

I was out hiking and ran into that guy along with some of his friends. They gave me beer and then we jumped off of a 20 foot cliff into a lake. Good times.

For some reason a healthy dose of skepticism and intellectualism has become indicative of being autistic. It really is a shame.
The "race war nao" types honestly depress me.

You should move out to Colorado. I promise it is better man. Lots of wildlife, I think.
I didn't realize you had a 20"
Is it an ArmaLite?
>>30580831
Whichever back up sights you go with, get the lowest profile ones that you can. Also please post a rotated version of your rifle.
If I wanted to build my first AR in this style, could I obtain it for less than just buying one of a similar quality?
IS the SR-15 worth the premium cost and why?
Also, what barrel length would you get?

It's not that. It's how hard you're trying to look smart.
>>30580821
The Rainier billet lower (and maybe their forged ones I'm not sure) doesn't use roll pins. It has all set screws instead. It's fucking marvelous.
https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-ultramatch-billet-ambi-lower-receiver-mod-3-w-o-qd
I think MEGA's billet lower is the same way.
>>30580864
It's not that; it's the fact that he went out of his way to make himself look smart. Skepticism is fine and obviously so it being an intellectual. But real intellectual's don't go around saying that they are intellectual; they just are.
If neither of you see nothing wrong with "it's always refreshing to see a fellow thinker in a world of reactionary zombies" I don't know what to say.
>Us smart guys huh!
>>30580864
it's a self regulating system. associate something you want to suppress with something stigmatic and voila the people will regulate themselves.
>>30580908
>it's the fact that he went out of his way to make himself look smart
you need to do some learning about nvc. that's called a value judgment and isn't objectively true.
How much should I budget into my AR15? I'm looking to build a good rifle, something that I can be proud to own, as well as being reliable and accurate. Obviously I'm not looking to buy Gucci and boutique parts, just solid, good components.
I already have a MEGA stripped lower. I was thinking BCM 16" complete upper, Geissele SSA trigger. No idea who to go to for a LPK sans grip and trigger. Are these good choices?
>>30580926
Now you're just bringing up irrelevant shit trying to seem smart. What kind of discussion could be started with "it's always refreshing to see a fellow thinker" other than to jerk yourself/each other off about how "intellectual" you are?
>>30580896
You're kidding right?
You're about to have background checks in order to buy ammunition, not to mention that magazines with greater than 10 round capacity are completely banned. The law literally says:
1) Remove the large-capacity magazine from the state.
(2) Prior to July 1, 2017, sell the large-capacity magazine to a licensed firearms dealer.
(3) Destroy the large-capacity magazine.
(4) Surrender the large-capacity magazine to a law enforcement agency for destruction.
The gun laws are much better in Colorado. CCWs are shall issue in every county, and we have open carry.
It blows my mind that true firearms enthusiasts and supporters of the 2nd amendment can still reside in California. The laws are only going to get worse there. Where are your values?
>>30580908
You're smart too! It is refreshing to see in a fellow gun owner.
More fun when you're in on it right?
>>30580926
Now I know why you can take high quality pictures.
This was taken by a friend on mine on his new mirrorless.

We get it dude. You're a special snowflake and you're so intelligent, just look at your vocabulary. What a smart guy. What do you score on those online IQ tests champ?
>>30580979
Actual curiosity, why quad rails and not Keymod/M-LOK? You just like the aesthetics?
>>30580986
Sounds like a thrilling time but I'll have to pass, I'm simply not as smart as you true intellectuals.
>>30580984
Mags above 15 rounds cannot be bought or sold within the state. That isn't stopping anyone though because the police don't enforce it and the grandfather clause is very loose.
You literally have to turn over your property to the government, and it isn't just any property, it is the property necessary to keep the government from demanding even more property. Get it?
Cute doggo by the way. Looks very happy. Doggo would be happier if you moved out of California to a state where you had the capacity to defend his life from the ATF.
>>30581009
>We get it dude. You're a special snowflake and you're so intelligent
I don't know why you're so burgers about people talking a certain way. like other dude said you're smart too. no one is discluding you. that's your issue, not ours. getting mad because you've signed an assessment is pointless.

>>30581021
>no one is discluding you. that's your issue, not ours
I don't really get why you're talking about including anyone. There's nothing to be included in, unless you mean your circlejerk of self-proclaimed intellectualism and free thinking.
But yeah, keep stroking your own dick because you're such a free thinker and you're so opposite of the normal crowd. Go you, buddy. We're all so proud.

I don't feel any particular way about the situation. My point is that 75% of the things you've said have been cringy. There's no feeling to it, I'm just letting you know.

Sweet dreams of the Rainier lower!
>>30581092
Don't rationalize it! Leave California man.
Six new laws infringing upon the natural right of self defense and self determination were signed into effect today. The once great state of California has taken yet another step in the direction of an Orwellian authoritarian government. If a total monopoly on the means of coercive force is held by the state, then it is impossible for the state to exists by the true consent of the governed.
It should be considered that since the 90's firearms homicides have been steadily declining in this country. When our government passes laws, it is important that we ask why, as opposed to asking why not. There is obviously a gun control agenda, and it is increasingly dubious as to whether its primary concern is the safety and lives of citizens, or the disarmament and political disenfranchisement of the population.
Senate Bill 1235 requires individuals to submit to a background check and be entered into a state database in order to purchase ammunition. Sellers of ammunition will be required to hold an ammunition vendor's license. All transfers of ammunition will be required to be recorded by the license holder with the purchaser's name, address, and phone number. This creates a statewide registry of citizens who have bought ammunition legally.
Senate Bill 1446 Is an outright ban on the possession of firearm magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds. There is no clause for grandfathering in magazines acquired before the ban. The law reads :
1) Remove the large-capacity magazine from the state.
(2) Prior to July 1, 2017, sell the large-capacity magazine to a licensed firearms dealer.
(3) Destroy the large-capacity magazine.
(4) Surrender the large-capacity magazine to a law enforcement agency for destruction.
>>30581168
Again, there's no offense. I just said something you said was cringey, and it still is.

Name some good manufacturers for hydraulic buffers.
>>30581194
None. Embrace the sproing.
>>30581202

Oh woops, got that confused with the silent spring shit. My bad. Didn't even know hydraulic buffers were a thing.
>>30581202
>next year -1

Scrub
Who here ready for Monday where Obama and the Democrats make a statement about guns
>>30581223
i'm starting to wonder if people who cheap out on buffer tube kits get shitty ass springs that are EXTRA noisy
>>30581238
Well I'd assume the lower cost means lower quality parts so maybe
But srs, grease that buffer spring
>>30581255
aint me, i don't care about the sproing and i bought a COLT™ BRAND COLT™ kit
it's not that bad so i'm starting to wonder about other kits... i should get some springs and test it out. i'm willing to bet not all springs are the same if some people have issues with the noise
>>30581255
>>30581264
I've always just assumed that the sproing was exaggerated. Mine is barely noticeable, and almost silent after greasing.
Are there actually AR's that people fire that have an extremely loud sproing?
>>30581269
yes, that's why i'm thinking there is a difference. my dad has an A2 stocked varminter from RRA that has insane sproing compared to my carbine. not sure if that's because of the rifle buffer in it or something else.
imma get some sproings and test it
Do you guys use grease or just oil on your ars? I've been using CLP mostly
>>30581281
saw ur guns in the other thread, not bad
>>30581286
>I've been using CLP mostly
same
>>30581286
Lithium grease and hoppes 9
CLP strictly for cleaning and pissing off my friends
someone recommend me a good punch kit before I shit myself
>>30581298
>hoppes 9
please tell me you don't use this as a lube....
>>30581306
Lyman 4pc roll pin punch.
>>30581309
They have more that bore cleaner dude..
>>30581325
yeah, i was hoping you didn't use the solvent as a lube
still why would you use hoppes when there are better choices out there? clp is actually quite effective
someone recommend me a good chest rig before I shit myself
>>30581331
I don't care for the extremely oily residue that CLP gets literally EVERYWHERE on everything.
I love it for cleaning but I don't need the exterior of my upper and lower to be slippery ya know?
Plus, the hoppes works well. I use mpro7 in a liquid (read: not spray) form when I run out and that works good too.
>>30581332

pic related
>>30581404
Don't worry, I will literally use all of them.
>>30581408
I follow this but only grease the rails on the BCG, not the bolt or anything. I also give the trigger a very light coating of oil.
This is all with hoppes oil
With CLP, I spray the trigger pocket and I disassemble and soak the BCG.
I keep it clean as fuck
>>30581423
Oh, and I do not lube my firing pin.
>>30581423
>I follow this but only grease the rails on the BCG, not the bolt or anything.
so you do lube the bolt right?
using grease on the bcg is kinda dumb, it needs to move as quickly as possible and viscous shit on the bearing surfaces can cause malfunctions especially with fully loaded mags and dirty uppers.
why not the firing pin btw?
>>30581439
Yes I lube the bolt. I'm on a carbine gas so slowed cycling isn't a concern and has caused 0 malfunctions in something like 2k rounds.
No lube on the firing pin since it doesn't move far and gets coated in oil from other stuff anyways
>>30581451
word, the lube on the pin keeps carbon from sticking, it's exposed to a lot of carbon from the piston chamber since it passes right through the bolt tail.
that's my guess anyway
out of all the ar-15 systems, what is the most reliable? (I'm talking about LMT bolts n proprietary shit also)

Should I be replacing my gas rings after every time I go out?
I don't even shoot 300 rounds, and then my gas rings fail the BCG standing on the bolt test.
How do you guys get 10,000 rounds consistently without changing your gas rings? Is it something I don't HAVE to change?
>>30581992
>I don't even shoot 300 rounds, and then my gas rings fail the BCG standing on the bolt tes
>How do you guys get 10,000 rounds consistently without changing your gas rings?
Maybe get a good BCG instead.
>>30581992
the test is goofy, don't worry about it.
worry about it when the gun stops functioning properly or the rings are physically malformed when you inspect them periodically
>>30581996
Is nickel boron the best?
>>30581992
My DPMS "commercial" spec bolt carrier group is the same way.
If it works don't worry about it.
Get a quality BCG when you can, though.
>>30582006
The finish is pretty much irrelevant. The material and QC are what matters.
But like >>30581997 says, the test doesn't really tell you much. My CMMG middy never passed the test since the moment I took it out of the box, and never malfunctioned once until the day I sold it.
![l_100004634_2[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/vUY6txz.jpg "l_100004634_2[1].jpg")
>>30582030
>>30581996
What's gonna be the difference with a quality BCG?
Is the boring of the carrier gonna be better to hold onto the gas rings of the bolt?
That's the only difference I would suspect, but I'm surely ignorant.
>>30582006
>>30582037
nickel borat is a meme, just get a standard phosphate bolt carrier group unless you want something fancy appearing and moderately easier to clean like cryptic proports to be.
>>30582037
>What's gonna be the difference with a quality BCG?
The bolt won't snap in half after 2k rounds, for one.
But it'll also be made to spec so it'll pass the test. Really though, don't worry about the test, it's about as important as "staggering the gaps 120° apart so that the gas doesn't leak if they line up" like my rifle's manual urged me to.

Arg I need wisdom, is there any benefit to a hydronic buffer? If yes what? And is there a hydraulic buffer that would work with my 20in rifle length gas/ buffer? I have no idea how buffer weights and gas lengths work together (what works together what doesn't).

Im waiting on a stamp for my 8.5" 5.56 AR upper from PSA. I just got a guntec pistol buffer and tube so I want to finish the lower now.
>Are drop in triggers real hotness?
PSA has a CMC single stage plus LPK for $216. Should I just buy a cheap budget kit to get the gun together and then upgrade along the way?
I see some cool bolt release and mag release buttons, but I'm not sure if that's for me or not. I don't even know here to go toook at em.
>>30580887

changed grip/10
Barrel and gas system don't match. Barrel profile is sub-optimal.
>>30580768
I'm surprised I don't see more Hogue G10 grips on here. You can't tell me they aren't sexy af
>>30582665
What does barrel and gas system don't match mean? The barrel is stock so is the gas system?
>>30582680
He's referring to the fact that carbine length gas systems were originally meant for 14.5 inch (or shorter) barrels.
>>30582680
The carbine length gas system is intended for 14.5" barrels (and even then it's often over gassed if the gas port isn't correctly drilled for that barrel length).
The barrel has a wasp waist and an M203 cut for a grenade launcher you'll never use. It's not particularly light or rigid.
>>30582693
>>30582693
So its fucked up?
It's a CMMG all stock came from the factory with what ever size barrel, I havent done much research just yet.
>>30582718
No, it's not fucked up, it will work just fine.
I have a 16 inch w/ carbine gas as well. Soon you'll realize that you want a 16 inch w/ mid length gas because it shoots softer and it looks more proportionate.
Long story short, your AR is fine.
>>30582732
I'm really not concerned with it being a longer barrel, but more concerned that it's a fixed iron sight. I'm not a fan of absolute cowitness.
>>30582675
>You can't tell me they aren't sexy af
It looks like a spraypainted and half melted A2 grip.
>>30582744
Just get a taller mount. The fixed iron sight really doesn't matter with absolute vs lower 1/3rd cowitness
>>30582744
Then go lower 1\3.
Problem solved
>>30582744
Yeah, you'll eventually want to build a gucci AR, but from what I've observed pretty much everyone goes through this evolution with their AR.
>buys first AR
>basic no frills rifle
>realizes it's not optimal
>starts to buy new parts for it
>eventually builds a new AR more suited to their tastes
Enjoy your basic rifle for now, though. I'm stuck in the "realizes it's not optimal" phase.
>>30582764
>>30582766
i knew that was coming, i meant to say i'm not a fan of any cowitness. I don't particularly like seeing iron sights through an optic.
Going shooting in a bit.
Going to see how the G trigger works.
>>30582772
I built my pistol in my "hmm this isn't optimal" stage.
For me the pistol is almost solid, but it needs a light and a stamp.
My rifle is better, but I want to drop 2" off the barrel.
>>30582935
Rifle is fine, you need to get a magnified optic for it.
Does anyone know if SWFA's web store displays items that are out of stock? I purchased $300 worth of parts from them last night and they deposited $160 into my bank account this morning.
Hey guys, I'm looking to build an AR without shitting out a huge amount of money. I'd like to really save where I can and have a nice platform that has decent accuracy and will take most of the ammo I would feed through it.
Generally, what are some good guidelines to building an AR? (Sportsmansguide.com, cheaperthandirt.com, ar15.com, etc)
-What sites can you buy lowers and uppers from?
-Is it good to buy fully assembled uppers and lowers?
-How much can I expect to spend on the rifle itself before adding accessories like a scope or new stock?
-How do I go about registering my AR as a complete rifle? Or am I only required to register the lower receiver because it contains the firing mechanism?
I appreciate any help you guys can toss my way, it'd really help me out!
>>30583219
Sorry, I fucked up. Meant to put those sites after that first line.
>>30583219
>Is it good to buy fully assembled uppers and lowers?
Barrelled or Complete Uppers yes, lowers is unnecessary. They are easy to complete yourself with a lower and a kit.
>How much can I expect to spend?
$350 for super-budget, $500 for budget (what you should really expect to pay), $750 for gettin'there
>How do I register
In the US, you don't. The receiver is enough.
>>30580933
Yes those are good
I've got a question.
Can a Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot be used without a front sight?? As in no cowitness at all? Is this how it was designed to be used or was it supposed to be used with a front sight? If so, do I just slap it on my rifle and use the buttons on it to sight it in?

>Can a Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot be used without a front sight?? As in no cowitness at all?
yes
>Is this how it was designed to be used or was it supposed to be used with a front sight?
both
>If so, do I just slap it on my rifle and use the buttons on it to sight it in?
yes
>>30583375
If I sight in my irons, and get a cowitness mount for the red dot, can I just adjust the dot to be aligned with the sights for it to be sighted in?
>>30583393
Yes.
Which brand of aluminum mag does /k/ prefer? Or should I get SS?
>>30583393
thats how most people do it.
>>30582244
What grip?
So I milled my first %80 and my hammer is releasing on trigger reset. But if only if I let the trigger out slowly. How unsafe is this?
>>30583498
Sounds like you have a fucky LPK.
Yeeee.
>>30583536
That's for sure, I already had to do fitting on the bolt catch and safety lever, guess I'm gonna have to do it on the sear too. It was a PSA Defender kit btw.
>>30583393
just consider this -- red dot without irons is not accurate (unless you're a bot). It's fine if you're shooting at a person-sized target within 20 yards, but if you're sniping at tin cans at 50 yards, better to pop up one of your irons for cowitness.

So you were last relevant two thousand years ago?
M-Lok vs Keymod? Why?
>>30584049
MLock
because Geissele 4th of July sale was mostly MLock, so now everyone has one.
Finally! Cryptic Coatings is restocked on Mystic Black BCGs...
>>30584049
Mlok because little dicks is gay
Are magpul str stocks fine? Or is there something better for the price?
Okay, now that M-Lok has been established between those two. Geissele vs KAC URXIII?
>>30584049
mlok because dickmod is pic related
>>30584131
For the price? Eh, I personally like the CTR. My next stock will probably be a B5 Sopmod since I'm too cheap to go full LMT.
That said, the Sopmod and STR get compared a lot and I think most people just love one and dislike the other.
There's also the ACS-L too that would give you a compartment but no battery tubes.
>>30584049
Keymod
Anyone who says anything else is lying
So anyone mind explaining the difference between M855 and M193? Wasn't M855 banned? Can you even still buy it? And how would I go about buying M193? Is it a specific ammo like the Military Grade 00 Buckshot? Do I walk into my LGS and ask if they have any M193 in stock?
>>30584144
geissele. unless you already have access to a kac nut tool.
>>30584101
fuck off I can't buy mine yet. you better not buy them out of stock you cunt

M193 is 55g FMJ.
M855 is 62g soft steel core FMJ.
M193 is what the AR15 was designed to shoot, and is a devastating load because of its terminal ballistics. It has the potential to fragment when at high velocitys and cause massive wounds.
M855 was essentially developed to reduce this fragmentation, because European NATO country's objected to using that sort of wounding charactistic in their new rounds.
The USA was "forced" to adopt M855(SS109) by NATO.
M855 is in many ways inferior to M193, and is NOT a penetrator round. The increased weight, and therefore slower speed actually negatively effects pennetration performance.
M855 is not banned, although there was a half assed attempt last year.
You can literally order M193 online, same with M855.
I do not recommend you buy any M855 for serious use.
>>30584049
Keymod, because Mlok is stupid.
Square holes are stupid, harder to machine for no reason. Also keymod attachment is superior.
>>30584311
I wanted the M4A1 RIS. I'm selling my upper to a friend and wanting something other than a FSP which I have now.
I'm kind of wondering how much of my gas block would be exposed with the MK18 with a middy gas system.
>>30584210
Kek. I only ordered one
>>30584178
M855 is only good for plinking, M193 can be good for plinking, home defense, and small game hunting.

Anon stfu, m lok is literally the best mounting system in existence.
>>30584394
Where are you seeing the MK18? I might just go that route because who knows when we'll see more M4's?
Opinions on exposed gas blocks?
>>30584405
>because I fucked up my neck.
you can still get fucked in the ass with a sore neck, get back to work.
>>30584419
i saw some last week on arms list but i can't find any now.
exposed gas blocks are gross.
>>30584421
Kek. My neck isn't an injury I'm willing to risk repeating so I just took some time off.
>>30582194
That is a BCM KMR handguard.
>>30582675
hmmm that is pretty damn sexy
>>30584434
I guess I'll go back to looking for a good deal on Geissiele or KMR then. Although I did find a 13.5" Noveske NSR too.
>>30584356
>>30584393
Are they made by particular companies? Or is it one of those cases where multiple companies all make M193/855?
Also how is M193 good for home defense if it's FMJ? I thought FMJ is bad for defense, or is .223/5.56 the exception? So would JHP be pointless to get with an AR?
>>30584356
>M855 was essentially developed to reduce this fragmentation, because European NATO country's objected to using that sort of wounding charactistic in their new rounds.
>The USA was "forced" to adopt M855(SS109) by NATO.
That's a hilarious load of nonsense.
>>30584489
Tons of companies make both.
FMJ for HD is usually a bad idea, but 5.56 FMJ(M193) is usually going so fast at HD distances that it fragments and stays relatively contained in human targets.
Some people recommend bonded barrier blind ammo for HD, which I also don't really understand.
>>30584528
That's literally the only reason I can imagine the US adopting it.
Do you have a better one?
I can almost guarantee you the adoption was political, rather than based on factual evidence of the round being better.
What do you fags use for lower blocks?
>>30584583
the main requirement for m855 was to penetrate the side of a Russian steel helmet at 600m when fired out of the SAW
>>30584596
my lap
>>30584583
It was adopted to enhance the round's AP capabilities, especially at extended ranges. It was a poor choice, but NATO was getting really worried about body armor, they predicted WP starting to issue it to everyone (which never came even close to happening).
>>30584604
>one arbitrary, useless requirement outweighs all of the other detriments by adopting the new round
>the US at this time disparately wants NATO to standardize something
>>30584212
Guilty as charged.
But no ragrets

>>30584646
At the time, it appeared there are no drawbacks aside from having to switch to a different twist rate to accomodate the 62gr ball and tracer ammo, and a slight accuracy loss at close to mid ranges.
Also, the impact on terminal effectiveness isn't nearly as bad out of 20" barrels.
>>30584706
That actually makes sense. I still don't believe it was the right choice.
>>30583988
People back then were generally malnourished so their growth was stunted
>>30584728
It wasn't.
As for penetration at reasonable ranges (i.e. not 500+ m), I no longer shoot M193 out of a 20" barrel at my steel targets, because it fucking *shreks* the hardened steel that regularly shrugs off steel core 54r out of an SVD, 7n6 out of a 74, steel core M43 and everything else I was throwing at it for years.
What do you guys think of handloaded Hornady 60 grain softpoint to stockpile as a do all round for the apocalypse?
i'll be shooting it out of a 16" 1:9

Is mid length gas okay for 18" barrel?
Would that be under gassed or overgassed?
>>30585003
the only thing you dont have is proof. too bad. i believe you though
Can't decide if I want a 13 inch or 15 inch guys named lee mk8. Thinking of going for the 15 inch just because it's readily available.
What's a good place to get a complete upper? I'm cosidering a palmetto state stripped lower with a parts kit bundle with ctr magpul stock and now stocks. Not sure where to get the upper though ?
What's a good keymod QD cup? I'm looking at the Arisaka since I will get one of their scout mounts anyways. Mildly not sure since it is aluminum.
>>30585128
psa
>>30585139
Does everything I listed sound good? Also what about iron sights? Do they come with the upper or do I need to buy and if so what are some good ones?
>>30585128
Any PSA premium upper will be fine but don't buy anything from their PTAC line
>>30585128
midway is cheaper and actually ships quickly
PSA is slow as fuck and more expensive. Fuck PSA and fuck the PSA shills.
>>30585161
It's not shilling if the shit is actually good.
You don't come to a place where advice is given and get mad when everyone says the same thing you sperg lord
I do agree though, their shipping times are shit
What AR variants are these?
Basic bitch A1 or something else?
>>30585062
It's fine. It's somewhat analogous to a 16" with a carbine length gas. If you want something softer shooting, I'd suggest getting one with a rifle length gas system or an adjustable gas block, which is my personal preference.
>>30585175
MidwayUSA is literally like $100-200 cheaper for the exact same quality
Only good thing to get at PSA is magazines in bulk
