AR-15 BS Thread

Got bored tonight and found some sponges at walmart:

 

Finished product:

 

Just parts cleaner. All the colors are primers, then matte clear coat, same process as my sks which has held up to abuse

 

mi gusta, every nice.

 

I like it looks good.

I am a krypton kinda guy so I like it when it wears.

 

Awesome, thanks

 

.458 so close to being done, waiting on my upper and picking up charging handle and forward assist Monday and should have my upper in on monday

 

Sweet! I highly suggest the Mako GL-Shock stock if and when you get around to it. It makes the 458 Socom a pleasure to shoot. You still feel the recoil, it just has a much better butt plate and the recoil is different/delayed slightly.

 

The A2 stock may get a recoil pad after shooting it (hopefully Monday!). I also got the tromix muzzle brake with the barrel so I'm hoping that will help a lot.

I need to order reloading dies for it soon (redding I think), I've got a Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4 scope that is going on it. I think it will be my deer gun this year.

And once it gets all done, I think spray paint will be in order lol

 

How is the availability of SOCOM brass right now?

 

From what I have seen not great, I can find some on Amazon for a little over a $1 per piece, but that is high from what I've seen. I plan on buying some of the SBR ammo and using the brass from it and from the corbon stuff. I like having a bit of factory ammo to test with as well as compare reloads to

 

Starline makes a run rather often for the Socom, about every 3-4 months now. Midway allows backorders on it for smaller quantities than Starline direct allows. Best to just get in line and get some when available. Once you get some though, they can be reloaded over and over and over. Some have over 20 loadings on a case. No annealing ever needed and no trimming after the first or second firing either.

399.99 for a daniel defense upper minus rail

 

Seems like a BCM for $440 with BCG and charging handle would be a better deal, but if you want a DD upper specifically that's a pretty solid buy for the brand.

 

Or, if you're set on a CFH barrel....

 

.458 socom finished, gonna go test fire it in a few minutes !

Specs:
Double star lower
Double star lpk
A2 stock
Wilson combat stripped upper
Midwest industries rail
Tromix barrel and brake
Leupold mark AR 1.5-4x


Will probably get painted with alumahyde II and possibly a new trigger.

I ordered a dust cover with the upper, when it got here I realized it didn't come
With a spring or rod lol, I have one that I have to find now

 

Dayum.... awesome!

 

It functions

Conclusion?

Meat grinder stock bad....need recoil pad or recoil stock lol, fun though....lots of fun lol

Now I just need to see about putting it on a full auto lower

 

I know all about that stock. This is with a T-shirt on and after only (20) rounds.

 

My shoulder is almost that bad lol, I shot 14 rounds, and had a brake on it lol
