Alright, thank you for that info.

Putting together a suppressed .300 blackout pistol. How'd I do with this upper, /arg/?
>>30565759
I'm giving you a 6/10 because you neglected to capitalize the start of your sentence, failed to end the sentence with a period, and didn't use a comma to separate your two fragments. You did a phenomenal job pretending to be as stupid as you actually are. Oooh that is meta.
>>30565828
My only gripe with them is that they cause tons of new AR owners to have stainless barrels and fixed front sights. Avoid their PTAC line. Everything else is good to go.
>>30565868
They're like $25 per section.
>>30565925
>>30565906
He's as lazy as one. Zero pride in workmanship...
Love you pb.
>>30565907
What kind is it? What is it rated to. Does it have an NV mount up front? Looks cool. Congrats.
>>30565928
I'd be joking if I told you that I put mine in the passenger seat and buckle her up.
>>30566072
Fuck I want one.
>>30566110
Check out Dan's sticky. If you want compact and/or you live in an urban area consider going with a 14.5" barrel then paying $50 bucks to get a 1.5" muzzle device pinned and welded.
>>30566121
That actually looks really nice. And the fact you can throw it in a pelican means you can fly with it.

>>30566199
In faggots
>>30566325
Great honestly. We shill hard for BCM but they are at a balanced intersection of quality and cost.
What lower are you going with? You getting a Shockwave blade?
>>30566326
better be nice I just dropped $200 on it
In
Also, can anyone recommend any books or sources of knowledge on reloading? 80¢ a round for factory 300 blackout is a bit out of my price range.
Just from what I've picked up I will need
-A press and the dies for it
-A mold and lead melter thing (for molding boolits)
-A scale
-A case trimmer (for renecking 223 casings
-Maybe a crimper, after I press in the boolits?
>>30566223
What the hell lower on the left?
Soup
>>30566238
Imagine your paint job except with a Giessele DDC MK4.
I think I'm gonna try something similar
>>30566282
Nothing
>>30566325
Is that the 9"? I almost bought the same thing last weekend but decided at the last minute to piece something together... and now I have to wait until Tuesday to try it out. Great choice though.
>>30566326
It a ACH and yes it has NVG mount (why I bought it) new pads and a ops core strap, it's rated to level IIIA
Also thank for shipping letsgodemaine
>>30566256
Please i need it
>>30566389
Whats a good price for an ACH? Anyone here get them for cheap?
>>30566344
>>30566384
Thanks guys. It's the 9" and I've already got the Shockwave Blade coming in the mail. Went with a Spikes Tactical lower (spider roll-mark). All the gun stores near me had either Spikes or lowers from companies I've never heard of so I went with a safe bet.
>>30566405
I paid 130 for mine (asking price was 125)
eBay or craigslist if you live near a military base
>>30566389
Pretty cool man.
How do you use a helmet if you're also using over the ear electronic ear protection?
I found a spooky mine. It was pretty hot today but I swear standing right in front of it felt like being in front of an AC unit. Cold air was literally blowing out. It was very cool.
>>30566356
Don't forget the $200 cuck stamp to make your sbr
>>30566408
Are you filing a stamp to sbr, or just keeping it as a pistol?
>TFW got so much AR shit in the mail that I am forgetting what is where.
Got a text from my dad saying "Hey you got a package here" and I WTFed immediately. Forgot I had my vice block sent to our shop so it would be there and ready for me.
>>30566415
Idk I'm not that familiar with helmets I think I'll try rearranging the pads first, I really want a gunfighter cut with rails (you usually mount ear pro to the rails)
>>30566389
Any time man, the helmet is drilled for the shroud, I just don't have the nut and bolt for mounting so I included the ratchet mount.
>>30566405
You can find a bare bones one for about 100 but it's going to have used pads, used chin strap.
>>30566415
By biting the pillow and dealing with the discomfort. Re arranging the pads also helps.
>>30566326
>fixed sights
you say that like its a bad thing
>>30566414
Ok, thanks
>>30566415
Mines are cool. Lots of them around here
>>30566356
Get a press, dies (avoid the lee .300blk dies, they're out of spec), digital scale, and a powder dropper.
Avoid casting your own until you have some reloading experience under you. Leatherhead, Palmetto Projectiles, Missouri Bullet Co, and a few others sell cast/coated bullets (cheaply) that are appropriate for .300blk and are suppressor friendly.
Hodgdon has a fair amount of load data on their website. I like H110 and IMR 4227 for versatility but there's a large amount of powders that work. AA1680 is supposed to be the quietest for subs but is finicky on cycling and rare/expensive.
>>30566405
I'm looking around right now. There are some beat to shit ones under $100, but one in decent condition looks like $125.
>>30566408
Nice man. Good choice on the Shockwave Blade.
>>30566326
i have pride in my work.
>>30566326
>stainless barrels
What's wrong with them and what's the alternative?
>>30566463
That's what I saw. Trying to figure out what size I need. I wear 7 1/2 hats
>>30566416
As much as I'd like to slap a stock on it, I'm not about to give the ATF $200 so they will graciously "allow" me to construct a sbr. I'll wait for the nfa to be repealed, or just make sure not to "accidentally" shoulder it.
what's arg listening too?
>>30566479
"Work" like that shitty ass target stand you made?
Bruh that's not something to be proud of
>>30566461
Oh, also
>go on 300blktalk, buy brass from guy there or pay the 3 cents per to have one process yours
$125/1000 is current rate, well worth it.

If you're running a red dot, it obscures part of your sight picture. Simply as that. Even with a lower 1/3 witness, you're still obscuring 1/3 of your sight picture
>>30566443
Hmm so you can just wear them under the helmet. That makes sense.
>>30566454
That looks neat. Most of the mines I've found in Colorado so far have bars over them.

I guess pic related
>>30566506
A lot of them here do too. I've found a few w/ an opening big enough to drive a truck through, then in a 100ft radius I've found several air vents to go with it
I seriously wonder what is at the bottom of the shafts. IIRC we have a huge number of unsolved dissapearances in this count because so much desert and mine shafts literally fucking everywhere
>>30566516
My problem is you didn't indicate you knew to pilot drill the holes. The mentality of "I'm gonna fucking shoot it anyways" is one thing
>>30566506

I'm not the dude you were responding to, but I had no idea the Lee dies were out of spec for 300blk. Glad I didn't cheap out and grabbed the RCBS. I do have a question as I haven't hand loaded, nor done much research for this caliber yet. The set I got only has the full length sizing die/expander/decapping die and the seating/crimping die. Is this all I need for dies?
>>30566506
It's not comfy but doable, Howard leights impacts are about the biggest you can fit under there.
>>30566490
Watching a show with the wife
>>30566479
But do you take pride in your work?
>>30566484
They don't stand up as well to rapid firing and heat, plus they are generally heavier, and I personally don't like the look. The alternative is a Melonited or chrome moly barrel.
>>30566487

>>30566498
I've read about casting bullets for supersonic speeds and the gas checks they need. I was gonna hold off on casting for a while, it's just something I wanna eventually do, along with coating them.
I've shot about 8 factory subs through my gun and it will eject, but not feed a new one. I'll let it break in on supers and then work on subs, I won't try casting until it can feed subs without a suppressor and I've reloaded for a while.
Thanks for the advice.

>>30566576
For jacketed and plated bullets, yes.
For cast and cast/coated bullets you'll also need an flaring (sometimes called belling) die. Both Lee and Lyman make a universal, and they're dirt cheap. I think I paid $9 for my Lee universal.
While it isn't required, a factory crimp die can help with cast bullets. It's more important with die sets that do taper crimps, I dont remember what the RCBS set does. A fairly significant crimp can help with consistent pressure as the bullet releases from the case, which in turn can help port pressures (reliability, esp. with carbine gas) and minimize extreme spread/standard deviation (better accuracy).

Aw yeah. I've seen them live twice. Great shows. Talk about rockstars.
>>30566629
Less than it would if you had taken pride in your work and drilled pilot holes. I can't believe you spray painted it afterwards.
>>30566713
welcome to /arg/
>>30566699
Thanks. I won't be venturing in to cast just yet because I'm still new to reloading in general. I believe the RCBS is a taper crimp so I'll dig in to further researching things this week.

>>30566727
then give more information as to what you are looking for. if you had said you didn't want a tough box I wouldn't have recommended one. But you didn't say that so here we are. But hey a plastic box looks tackier than your pile of pack rat milsurp shit.

Exploring old mines is stupid and dangerous.......awesome....but stupid and dangerous
>>30566746
Nothing is wrong with spray paint. It actually looks kinda good. I'm just astounded at the level of cognitive dissonance you're displaying by camouflage spray painting the frame when you didn't even take the time to pilot drill.
Do you own drill bits? Have you worked with wood before?
>>30566757
Now that you mention it I'm actually seriously considering the benefits of having a large "A" in the sight picture. The red dot amounts to an especially large "peep" aperture and if you're returning fire fast maybe you can line up the "A" almost like irons? Because the setup is so large it could be done very quickly.
>>30566742
Commercial cast is a very good option and not really any more difficult than jacketed. I shoot a lot of the Palmetto 203gr bullets. They are definitely the way to go for reloading subs.
For supers, I'd recommend 110gr Nosler varmageddons. Decently cheap, devastating and high quality. At 300blk speeds it acts like a softpoint and expands while holding together.
>>30566836
why is this bothering you so much? i cut some wood up and threw it together to hold paper. painting it took less than 1 minute. yes i own drill bits and i have worked with wood
>>30566834
Because of collapse danger?
Halfway through my hike I ran into some greeks camping by a lake. They were super cool and gave me a couple of beers. This was good because I was running out of water. We ended up doing some cliff jumping into the lake and I let one of them shoot the AR. Cool people.
>>30566854
Because some people like a project done right, even if it's not a task that necessarily demands perfection
>>30566899
This
>>30566216
>>30566256
Please I want to build it
>>30566843
Right on, I'll check them out. I don't have much in the way of projectiles as of yet, just some 168gr Noslers I tacked on to an order to get some free 9mm brass. They were the only ones in stock so I figured I'd try them out, but I'll be looking to place another order this week.
>>30566836
and i dont have to buy sling swivels separately

im glad its triggering you so much
>>30566854
Lazy people piss me off. That's all.
Has anyone ordered from pro-reload? I placed a small order a while back and have emailed them, but those fuckers are taking their time shipping it.

>>30566899
It's like his dad was too soft on him or something.
>>30566945
Seriously though man now that I'm thinking about it the fixed front sight totally helps rapid target acquisition at closer ranges.
But if you're running an Eotech or something with a larger reticule then I kinda flop back to where I was before.
>>30566958
i get being mad at lazy people if they are impeding you in some way due to their laziness but if it has no effect on you, you should not care so much.

its crystal i got mine from SWFA
Put 400 rounds through it today, no floating and having the focus turrent (paralax) helped alot (I wear contacts)

What's the total build cost gonna be?
IIRC you told me something crazy like 2k+ for the upper
>>30567708
What's the make on that rail??
>>30567721
upper is 1.5k from PRI. glass is ~1k. then the misc shit like bipod/adapter/scope rings
>>30567726

>>30567721
i dont have much into the lower, currently its an anderson lower with an aero lpk, mbt, and a1 grip/stock. im going to get a mega lower for it eventually

>>30567730
>upper is 1.5k
Lurker here. How the fuck is an upper 1.5k? What makes it worth that much?
>>30567745
yeah. my pistol needs $450+whatever lower i get to be completed so im stuck on what to do first.
>>30567759
high quality clone correct parts
http://www.precisionreflex.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1046643&CAT=4824
>>30567742
1.5k is more than my entire build will be, sheesh. Gib some monies bch
>>30567776
I told you do both
>>30567759
locating and waiting on parts....
Crane Built MK12 are awesome rifles and one of a kind looking ones aswell
There are only a couple of companies that offer a close clone, PRI and BCM are a few
Building it yourself will take alot of time,
or buying a complete upper with all MK12 components ease the search but price is jacked
>>30567525
Usually the scope is loose and they don't know up from down
>>30567784
i will do both its a matter of which one first.
>>30567786

What is the reason for this spent casing not coming out before the bolt wants to throw one in? Is that called a short stroke? Anyone know the technical term? Easy fix? Buffer weight? Extractor Spring issue?
It doesn't happen every single time, it's quite random actually.
>>30567804
ah what the fuck
>>30567805
Are you saying when you pull the trigger, the gun goes bang and the bolt comes back to eject the brass but fails to do so?
>>30567807
What?
>>30567815
I pull the trigger, the gun goes bang. Then a spent casing is usually turned backwards as if it were to come out of the upper reciever. But then the bolt has already come back up before it finds its way out and wants to put a new live round in.
>>30567826
the gun looks fucking disgusting, that's what.
>>30567831
Shit extractor.
O-ring the extractor then retest.
>>30567836
Good for you, post your AR.

That's a stovepipe.

The Innovate was solidly worth the money. As with all car electrical stuff you're really paying for the level of support, and they support quite well.
I shot the truck with this monstaliner stuff, so it really didn't need too nice of a sand.
What are you working on?
Bear with me if this is a dumb question, but how much would it cost me to build a similar rifle if I assembled it myself?

The wife likes her rifle.
It might kill her, but whatevs. Polymer lower and whatnot.
:^
>>30567871
Idk what makes that so expensive.
You could build something better for like $700-$800 depending on the handgaurd you want.
Anybody else stocking up for the inevitable happening?
>>30567871
~1,000+- a few hundred depending on what parts ya went with
>>30567876
>wife
lol faggot
>>30567887
I imagine it's similar to pre-built PCs; mark up by 200% because it's not a skill most people possess.
Thanks for the heads up. Any recommendation on where to get parts?
Thinking about trying to find someone that will trade me a Strike Eagle for my SPARC II and some cash.
>>30567866
I got the Rainier Billet lower without the QD's. It will look fantastic and it doesn't have a SINGLE roll pin; it's all set screws. Gonna be a god damn breeze to assemble.
>>30567890
I'll have this Spike's lower as extra since I have a Rainier coming in, and I ordered an Aero lower last night as well just in case. Next is stocking up on mags and ammo before they go up.

1978 Saab 99 Turbo. Pic related, not mine but same body style. Swapped the engine out for the more modern 2.0T, running updated ECU with open source tuning.
I need to get a wideband to do anything serious though, so I've been looking at the innovative.
Just got it a couple weeks ago, going to do some major changes. Worked a bunch of OT over the last 2 weeks.
Just waiting on my MRO and a sopmod stock. First time ordering from Larue so Im excited for all the cool shit they give.

Is it even worth reloading after I keep reading of all these guys having problems with their guns after reloading?
Like literally the first question asked after any issue is "are you using reloads?"
>>30567921
Fucking RAD
>>30567920
Best swag in the biz. Dillo dust is damn tasty
>>30567931
If you can pay attention to detail and spend the time / effort / money than there is no reason to reload.
Rifle ammo is generally harder than pistol ammo, so if you're really worried get a Dillon square deal and make pistol stuff first.
I don't do rifle ammo (yet) because it's more labor intensive than its currently worth for me
>yeah, FUCK crimped primer pockets

>>30567945
Also, I find reloading to be a calming activity. I can sit at the press for a day and make 500-1,000 rounds of 45acp while my wife sits and reads a book or whatever.
If you're worried about cost, a single stage press can be had for relatively low cost and dyes aren't too expensive, but you need to get projectiles, brass, primers, powders, case prep tools, calipers, scales etc etc
It can be very rewarding.

Buy the regular cheap ass m&p 15 then spend another $225 on an alpha rail and low pro gas block
>>30568170
Have you a recommendation on a gas block?
>>30568218
Any low profile will work.
How about a BCM?
You could also just build the rifle from the ground up and save a little.
That rail style is made by several people. Troy is probably on the expensive end.
>>30568232
Alright, good to know. I'm thinking about building one, but I also have a Ruger 556 that treats me well enough so I'm kind of torn.
>>30568291
If I'm being honest I'd avoid buying from Troy. Not because it's bad stuff but because of their hiring practices. But like I said before, that style of rail is extremely common
>>30568321
Fair enough, I'll keep that in mind. I was looking at Aero, but a lot of their shit is sold out.
>>30568371
Aero is a great company but to my knowledge don't make a rail like on the s&w you posted. I suppose you could do everything else Aero
>>30566199
If anyone is up,
I was looking at getting a LMT 16" but its a M4 Carbine gas system.
Is 16" carbine profile bad? I've heard it causes excess wear on the bolt.
>>30568640
it's fine
midlength is a tad smoother shooting
>>30568640
The damage done by carbine gas systems is very exaggerated.
You may have some parts wear at 35k rounds vs 45k.
The real negative impact is felt recoil and aesthetics
>>30568640
I don't think it's bad, it may accelerate wear to a small degree, but the excessive gas basically guarantees that it will feed anything. I think the biggest issue is mostly aesthetics.
>want to fit my weapon with a light
>doing a bunch of research
>don't want to spend +$100 on another light since I spent $200 on an X300 a few months back
>Frank Proctor uses a $30 Protac 1L on his rifles and has been doing it for 4 years now with no issue
Are these legit? I use one for EDC but using one on a rifle? Would it actually suffer any negative effects over long periods of time? There's some videos here and there of one surviving 60 round magdumps next to a muzzlebrake but I am still skeptical.
>>30568650
>>30568658
>>30568673
thanks. and as far as aesthetics go I really want to get a kac ras carbine rail to go with it.

I'm thinking 16 with mid gas system. All metal but as light as I can possibly make it, pencil thin barrel.
>>30568855
oh it's a safety thing? dang
mine seemed like a cool ass place to fuck around. no wind + portable table/bench = accuracy testing heaven
>>30568883
Why does it spark when it comes out of my exit port then?
>>30568904
Yeah I only see bad things happening from that so I'm not even gonna test it. The few we have explored I don't even take rifles into, too long so they smack shit and anything I encounter will either die from 45acp or I would be fucked with a rifle anyways
But yeah, ricochet and hearing damage are pretty legit issues
>>30568946
>hearing damage
nigga wear earplugs
i had an idea for an underground shooting range using connexes buried end to end. you could make a pretty long as wind-free range but i suspect keeping water out would be an issue
>>30566707
just noticed the pic behind the shelf, love it.
Is this worth it if I want something nicer than the basic PSA milspec trigger?
>>30569459
If you have the cash to put a Geiselle or CMT trigger in every AR you own, do it.
If you are only going to have 1 AR, splurge and get a nice trigger. Outside of barrel, BCG, and the Optic, the trigger is one of the most important things you can have in your rifle.
Be warned, once you get one though, you are going to want to put one is all your ARs
If steel jacket ammo isn't bad for your gun why does the casing spark when it gets spit out of my exit port?
>>30569535
unburnt powder
>>30569528
>>30569496
Alright. But what if I'm building a budget AR and have a basic PSA milspec trigger currently in my lower.
Is the trigger itself worth $30?
>>30569568

My AR pistol is around 4lbs, but it has a Faxon lightweight 10.3" and no brace (yet).
My 14.5 is atound 5.75 at a guess, haven't weighed it but it's a bit lighter than an M4.
Then I have an SPR that's over 9 including optic, and a 24" full bull AR10 thats 21lbs.

Thanks!
New to reloading so I have some questions:
What do you mean when you say loaded long?
What happens if I have a bullet without load data for that exact bullet? Copy data from a similar bullet?
>>30569800
don't argue, he's linking an article that talks about barrel wear when he was personally complaining about the casing "sparking" when ejecting.
>>30569804
Loaded long means you dont seat the bullet to what would normally be considered right. Since the MBC is a relatively short flatpoint it will get hung up on stuff if you seat it all the way to the front lube groove. You'll have to play with your oal to find what works in yours.
If you cant find load data for a specific bullet, find load data for a different bullet of the same or slightly heavier weight and start 5-10% below the listed starting load. Not all bullets are created equal, and a safe load for, say, the 220 SMK may not be safe for a 220 Custom Comp or Matchburner.
>>30568862
>>30569843
Any tips on how to determine optimal COL? I have a bunch of these http://www.xtremebullets.com/308-150-FP-p/xc308-150fp-b0500.htm
And it's going to be pretty short. How do I figure out optimal col? Is there any danger involved in playing around with COL without published guidlines?
>>30566336
BCG? looks like the expensive one that doesnt need a lot of cleaning

>>30570013
A waste of money.
>>30569879
Going shorter than book data increases pressure, and the lower your case capacity the more dangerous that is (this is why setback rounds are bad). Going longer is safe but can effect accuracy (both positively and negatively.
For those bullets I'd find load data for a 150gr jacketed flatpoint. Hornady/hodgdon I think have data.
>>30570104
So err on the longer side. Thanks
