AR-15 BS Thread

awkward, although I feel like this is a trick question. Someone selling theirs or are you going down that road?

 

Only to part out. I'd get the Acog ones, sell the light, optic and upper. Use the money on a new upper and optic. As they are set up and with that many rounds, they aren't worth a damn. But someone will buy anything that says Surefire, Trijicon, or Colt. Sucker born every minute and all that

 

Yep, only with one of those two optics though. Then part the gun out.

Not a fan of the carry handle model, I have a DPMS that I bought years ago that I am going to rebuilld and get rid of that upper. Just my opinion.

 

Buy as many as you afford. Part them out and keep some of the good stuff for yourself, then take the profit and build a new one at no cost to you

 

I need a carry handle upper.....I'll use it as an excuse to build a retro m16A1 clone lol

On another note, I just ordered myself a side charging upper for my 6.5 grendel build. It puts me at having a barrel, bolt, rail, and upper. Just need a gas system and BCG and I can shoot it.....then I'll need optics

It's going to initially share lowers with my .458 socom

 

Any of you guys grease your buffer springs?

 

Nope. Never have and probably won't .

 

Found a better alternative.

Chrome silicon buffer spring.

AND THEY'RE HALF PRICE RIGHT MEOW

 

Faster reset of course.

 

Supposed to last 10x longer than standard stainless milspec.

Faster reset.

Less vertical movement and less bolt slack, movement is more lateral

Smoother.

Less noise.




Those are the reasons i hear repeated in everything i read about them

 

Meh, I haven't heard a buffer spring in years.
I've replaced a couple buffer springs in the past with LaRue's coil but, not out of necessity.
The last two of my recent builds were high end parts and pieces and still I wouldnt spend that kind of money on a spring.

 

Its $6

Haha, why not?

Edit: actually, the shipping is more than the cost of the spring

 

Ah, I should pay attention, I was thinking you were on to one of those JP Enterprise assemblies.
For 6 bucks, yep. I think the Tubbs I got from LaRue were more than that!

 

Sprinco buffer springs

 

I just use standard BCM carbine springs and give them a quick wipe down with lube every once in a while.

 

Couple more

 

Is that an ADM mount? I just got one, been running LaRues, but mine one has one bolt/cam lever. It doesn't look like yours

 

Put a PSA lpk and upper together today for a buddy. It is his first gun and he was like a kid on xmas.
