AR-15 BS Thread

Magically available in the next couple days to order!

 

So does anyone know if anyone makes wood forward grips for the AR-10/LR 308 platform, found some for the AR-15 but no Ar-10.

 

Boyds possibly

 

Turnbull did it. Doubt he offers a stand alone set though.

 

Any update on the acog?

 

yeah I've looked at boyds,they have nice stuff for fairly cheap, I also like the look of Karl Nill wood pistol grips (pricey $225 per grip). Currently all I can see is custom making a forward grip.

 

Sound my next build lol

Sweet

 

Those 60 grain 22's are sweet but they do not stabilize very well through pistols. They keyhole the targets for me every time I shoot some through the pistol. My 10/22 on the other hand they do OK and sure hit something with a thud!

 

I've always been scared to try them through my can. SWR put a specific callout not to use them in the Spectre owners manual. I know Volquartsen makes a specific 1:9" twist 10/22 barrel to stabilize those long bullets, and I always figured a conversion kit in an AR should shoot them pretty well too.

 

So I want to build a carbine I can toss around in the truck and burn up in classes - I'm thinking about buying a BCM upper. which seems like a great deal for solid parts. I can't decide if I want a 14.5" upper or 16". I want a pinned front sight, so I'd either pick up a Daniel Defense Omega rail for the 14.5" gun, or break it down & install a Troy VTAC on the 16". I can get a VTAC for about $50 less than the Omega, plus pinning a BCM Mod 1 comp on the upper is an extra $80 (Mod 0 comp is free with the 16" version), so I'd be into the 14.5" upper for $130 more than the 16" upper. Doesn't seem like a good deal to save ~1" overall. Anyone have any input? Anyone have a pinned 14.5" upper they love or hate?

 

My brother runs a BCM. He loves it. Solid gun IMO. Not as nice as mine of course, but for a run gun it is pretty nice.

 

Just get the 14.5" with unpinned a2 FH. They'll ship it out no problem. Then you can put on whatever muzzle device you want.

I have to say their uppers are very solid, I've dismantled two of them to change rails and its a total bitch. You need to heat up the barrel nut to loosen the loctite they use and you still might even bust a knuckle from the exerted force. To avoid this get one made with the rail you want. The KMR rail is really nice. I suggested their LW 14.5 middy with 13" KMR to my friend and he absolutely loves it.

I caved on a PSA 16" middy because it was on sale for $275 and I wanted a spare upper to pretty much destroy.

 

It's available! I just put in my pre-order:

Beautiful sbr

 

no buffer tube mechanism needed since the upper is fully contained so you can throw a folding stock/brace on it and fire it from the folded position if needed. It accepts Milspec bolts and barrels so you can modify it to any caliber you want using widely available aftermarket and milspec parts.

 

Recently purchased this AR15 and I've tricked it out. However, I got my ship-out date of 22 March, and I'd rather see this go to a good home than sit in storage while I'm away. It's super accurate and a great gun.

Comes with:
UTG 4.2" Red/Green dot
UTG 3x flip down magnifyer
UTG Fold down bipod
UTG Tactical Flashlight w/pressure sensor
UTG Green Laser w/pressure sensor
Magpul Grip
Magpul Angled foregrip
Magpul (x2) 30rd P-mag
Magpul 20rd P-mag
Stock magazine
Quad rail foregrip that everything is mounted on
.223 Boresnake

Stock Iron Rear sight/carry handle


I've also got about 500 rounds that can be included in the sale.

The original booklet and foregrip are also included.

I've put about 1000 rounds through the weapon over the last month that I've had it. It's never jammed, been cleaned after every use, and it's sighted in at 50yrds for the red dot and laser.

I'm asking $1300 OBRO shipped to your FFL via paypal.

Is that reasonable?

Thanks. I ended up buying a 16" BCM middy, as well as all the lower parts to finish one out. I'm putting a Troy VTAC behind the pinned front sight and I'm going to sponge paint it, throw my EOTech on it and do my best to wear it out.

I guess it's reasonable if someone buys it. You didn't mention who made the gun, which is probably the most decisive factor in what you'll get out of it. I'd list a generic AR with a bunch of UTG stuff on it for $700 and expect to have a hard time selling it, but that's me in my local market. Good luck with the sale and thanks for your service. If you're shipping out soon, you might just put it in the safe. Things might be a lot different in a year. Right now AR15 prices are rock bottom.

 

Its apparently a Bushmaster

 

ClayCrusher, honestly that's probably not reasonable.
