AR-15 BS Thread

I do! Though I've never shot it or anything lol. Was to good of a deal to pass on so I bought it

 

TNVC and AR15.com are having a sweet night vision / thermal give away.

Mine has always had an issue of not ejecting spent shells, it will pull them from the chamber but not eject then jam trying to feed that case and a new one, and recently it started not extracting spent shells from the chamber. I've replaced the extractor spring twice, both were used though, out of functioning rifles. I ordered the bcm Extractor spring upgrade set tonight so when that comes in I'll see how it runs
Edit: complete rifle probably has around 750-1k through it, radical complete upper and bcg, Anderson lower. It's a pistol with a 7.5in barrel

 

Are you using a 762x39 specific extractor? From my research some BCG's came with 556/223 extractors and they wouldn't function properly with the 762x39 case.
Also found this.

 

Im not sure honestly. I bought the complete upper from Radical and it came with the bcg.
It's always had the one problem, but sometimes it will do it every round for 2 mags, sometimes every 3 or 4 rounds, and some other times it'll run multiple mags without and issue. That's all with just putting it away for a week or two, no cleaning or anything. It's a tempermental bitch but it's so much fun when it runs

 

So who has a 9mm AR?
My dad is looking at building a 9mm upper for one of his stripped uppers, probably gonna go with a barrel in the 10" range and build as pistol.
Gotta do some research but who uses removable mag blocks and semi- common magazines?

 

My upper arrived today, so hope to get going on my rifle soon.

 

I finally got to shoot my budget AR. It's a PSA Feedom stainless upper that I bought for $199. on Black Friday. I sighted in the irons then put my old Vortex RDS on it and sighted it in. This one I zeroed the irons and RDS at 50 yards for M855.
I also cleaned the rest of my AR's. They were all pretty dirty.

 

This is the first AR I built.

Spikes Billet Lower w/ Spikes LPK
- Seekins mag release, bolt stop, and safety switch.
- Timney Gold Skeletonized trigger
- Spikes t2 buffer and milspec spring
- Magpul UBR stock
- Magpul k2 grip

Spikes Billet upper
- Spikes lightweight BCG
- Fortis charge handle
- fortis 556 switch rail
- fortis grip
- noveske chf chrome lined barrel
- noveske gas block.
- noveske kx5 flash suppressor

Cerakoted burnt bronze

 

That's a damn good looking rifle. How you like that stock? I've considered one, but they're awful proud of them

 

I liked it a lot. it balance the rifle out very well. it's heavy, so it absorbs some recoil as well.

 

Making progress on our first AR build, just waiting on the back-ordered Vltor A5 buffer and spring, then done!!!

 

Nice vise. I picked one like that up about a year ago on craigslist for $125. A new vise as good as a solid old school one like the can be a few hundred bucks now, and most are made in China.

 

thanks, my dad got it from the retired shop teacher from Orange High School CA, it's circa 1950...

 

woohoo! These showed up today, last pieces needed to finish the rifle builds!

 

Go Panthers!

 

Woohoo! Just finished our first complete rifle build tonight. Just need a set of collapsible iron sights, holographic sight and a sling and this one is ready to go!

Here is the link to the build of this rifle if you are interested!

Nothing fancy, but I picked this up a couple months ago at Turner's when it went to clearance. Couldn't pass up the price point. ATI M4. I changed out the handguard to the Magpul SL and added a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x with some flip up backup sights.

 

Is that a 10 on there for limit of 10?
