AR-15 BS Thread

I run a standard buffer and carbine gas now. It kicks a little hard but I'm still at zero malfunctions after 5500+ rounds.

I have zero gap on all my rifles. None of which are colt. Mainly mix and match receivers lol. But high quality stuff.

 

Got my gas block set screws in the mail from YHM today so I got my GB and gas tube installed on my 6.8 upper and got to go shoot it.
Only put 20 rounds through it but no malfunctions and it destroyed the Mountain Dew cans I had setup for targets.

 

I am so close to finishing my build!

 

Thanks, I bought mine from PSA (it's their springs + Magpul stock, pistol grip, and trigger guard). Should be here by tomorrow!

All together with the red dot, Troy flip-ups, 16" 1x8 chrome moly barrel, 12" slim quad rail, melonite BCG, and Magpul grips, stock, magazines = Just over $725.

Now to buy ammo....

 

You guys should check out our build to order LPKs. http://shop.ironworkstactical.com/Customizable_lower_parts_kit_LPK_p/aoi-lpk.htm
We just got a refresh of inventory so I'll update the qty in stock soon.

 

16" 6.8 uppers

 

They have been out of stock from the distributors forever! Finally got a couple blacks coming in and of course FDE is still OOS at the distributors (of course every other color is in now).

 

I'm just here so I won't get fined.

 

It's funny because this is always the slowest time of year for this industry. So you'd think inventory would be fat. Nope it always sucks ass. It's very frustrating for the shops and of course the customers.

 

Wow!

 

LOL

We started revamping our non hunting lineup. Currently testing out our 300BO 10.5" pistol upper. I just threw this handguard on it because it's what I had so that won't be used on the finish product.

It's a hand lapped 416 SS barrel with adjustable gas block so it can be fired sub or super.



6.8 95gr TTSX, 300BO 120gr JHP, 6.8 120gr SST. All supersonic loads

 

Can't wait to finally shot my 300 BLK this weekend

 

Picked these up today at academy, I'm interested to see how the American eagle runs in my gun, hopefully it's good because of love to have plinking ammo for 16.99/20

 

American eagle is good. I tend to stay away from Winchester.

 

Ok so let's talk 6.8. What upper is it? We've found that the American eagle works fine in the slightly over gassed 6.8 (larger gas ports for reliability) fine but will not properly cycle the tighter tolerance set ups where the gas port is tuned for accuracy.

The Remington 6.8 ammo is SEVERELY under powered as Remington refuses to admit that the SPC II chamber is safe and can handle higher pressure ammo. The chamber is safe to 57,000 psi with margin for error.

Look at the Sellior and Bellot. Phenomenal brass and also very good prices plinking ammo.

Don't forget you have a 6.8 SME here. Feel free to ask if ever in doubt.

 

I've used AE ammo in my 5.56 quite a bit, never used the 6.8 though.
I only bought the Winchester because it was the cheapest stuff (cheaper than monarch by $2/20)

I built the upper myself, 6.8 ARP barrel from you (16", midlength gas system) and a YHM low profile has block, BCG is from you also.

I got the Remington ammo to see if it would work for deer hunting, I have some of the cheap UMC ammo that everybody hates but my gun functioned with it fine, I also have some silver state armory ammo to try.

I'm hoping one of these weekends coming up we'll have some good weather so I can setup a bench and target at 75-100 yards and see how it groups with the different ammo.

 

Keep me informed please. We are finding that federal is having hit or miss results in the fusion and American eagle line. Fusion lately is acting like the powder is to fast and causing swipes but won't cycle the BCG.

The big companies can't seem to listen to us on what to use. Hornady on the other hand. Phenomenal listeners and just keep putting out a great 6.8 product.
