AR-15 BS Thread

The streamlight poly tac is click and is a better light for the same price as the G2. I have both and like the streamlight better. I dont think mine is the LED version but has really white light.

I needed a game light for my AR 458 SOCOM. I checked around in the states and some folks did sell the Hog lights but they were close to $100 with a couple of batteries and the charger and a pressure switch. I looked elsewhere and found where they got them from in China.

I got the same light they sell here for close to $100 for $30. They have different colored LED modules that can be replaced. I have a red one, a green one and one white one. LED modules were like $8.20 to switch colors. Other items like the pressure switch tail cap, cheap.

I would recommend using PayPal that way your credit card isn't bouncing around in China. Shipping on mine was all free, arrived in a shipping type bag 2-3 weeks later. They answer their emails, in ENGLISH. It's a little broken but very understandable. I have made other orders after the lights I purchased, I got two of them. One to scan with and one mounted on the rifle. Purchased batteries there, chargers, iPhone charge cords, etc. Each time they answer emails promptly and it takes right at 2-3 weeks to receive the item. If there is an item made in China you desire and legal to have here of course, they will run it down for you. I would not hesitate ordering from them again in the future. Just make sure to use PayPal to keep your card number safe. YMMV

I mounted mine with a 1" scope ring that had a large screw with a knurled edge on it to clamp it to the rail. I can mount the light to my gas block rail and take it off just as easy. Now these are larger lights, not the tiny newer more expensive self defense type lights. With a regular day time scope these lights allow you to take shots at 100-150 yards in the dark.

I have various Polytacs scattered all over my house and I'm a hardcore Surefire guy (even sort of worked for them). Buy the Polytacs on Amazon for the best price I've ever found. I think I have one in every single room, all yellow for easy visibility. I keep meaning to put reflective tape on them too.

These are what I buy. Probably have 6 or so of them.

This is the ninja version of above

The low/high ability of these two lights make them perfect utility/ninja lights

I'd like to get one of these for EDC (I can always get AA batteries in my office, CR123 not so much)

and one of these to keep in my briefcase (same AA issue as above)

UPS fairy came last night

 

Sighted in my AR today. Most accurate I've ever been with a firearm. I tend to shake a lot and can't hold still, but with this thing, especially shooting from a table or the like... my grouping at 30 and 50 yards are great.. Best I've done atleast.

 

Great to hear you say this! I'm thinking about an AR10 build as a newb, too. Keep posting your progress!

 

Been a while...

My rifle when I first came in this thread. (Yes, that's me with the gunny)



My rifle now..


My latest project. 8" barrel 7.62x39 build.. This will have a slick side/ side charging upper. Will have a YHM FF rail to match my rifle, phase 5 pistol buffer tube, and other great goodies.






Went out today with Kevin to sight in my new vortex strikefire and then shoot some skeet.
Kevin also needed to re-sight in his scope from 40yds (lol wut?) to 100.
Perfect weather here in Texas for a day out shooting.









Shiner wishes he had opposable fingers.

 

Some stuff I've been turning out lately.

My 1911 built by Will O'Hara, my M&P Pro CORE with Apex Trigger, sear, RAM fitted by Ironwork Tactical


Another M&P similarly built for a customer.


5.56 using Black Rain Ord Norguard receiver set and their 15" MOD handguard and NiB BCG, Black Bole 18" barrel, Geissele SSA, Magpul UBR and MIAD grip as part of Ironworks Bare Bones LPK.


A couple Ironworks 6.8 rifles on a hunting trip last week.

 

I just blacked out and ordered a complete upper from PSA for $280 shipped. Also ordered their vortex red dot with front and rear aluminum sights for $140. Crazy deals.

 

I keep missing these PSA upper deals or something. I need a 16" complete upper..

 

Wake up every morning and check PSA website first thing. slickguns also updates me on deals everyday on facebook

 

I played with paracord today, I'm digging it

 

My build in its current form:

DPMS lower
RRA guts
RRA NM trigger
Magpul STR stock and MOE grip
Daniel Defense M4 V7 upper
RRA scope mount
Leupold VX-II 2-7 with German #4 reticle

 

looks good man. hows she shoot at distance?

 

In all honesty I haven't had time to shoot for groups yet. I sighted in on a milk jug at 200yds and blasted away.

 

well even thats pretty decent. i just sighted in mine yesterday @100yds and got a 3 shot 3/4" group on paper so i guess thats decent. you should be able to get a 1 1/2"-2" group @ 200yds with some range time and a good supported position

 

That's good not decent, you're sub-MOA. 1MOA is 1" at 100 yds

 

yea i know its sub moa, i just wish it was better lol
