AR-15 BS Thread

Ah. Looks slick, how do you like it?

 

Sensational!

 

Thanks bud! I really like it. Suuuper clear glass and really like the way it looks on the rifle

 

Ya, I prefer roll your own. I usually use spikes receivers, Geissele triggers, and colt barrels for got to/battle guns.

 

All of my AR's are hodge podge I suppose.

I built instead of bought to get it right first time.

Lowers rock river spikes aero precision good. When I started building I was told lower isn't as important as the upper as a whole. I use bcm receivers and bcg on all and Daniel defense barrels on most on mine. I don't competition shoot just reliable and I guess can be considered upper mid grade ?

My only questionable hodge podge was with a dpms 7.5 barrel but never had a jam ftf or whatever just gouged brass.

Ymmv

 

Nice man. Ya I dont care to hodge podge I just want the upper to work well with my noveske lower. Heard good things about spikes. All I care about is functionality

 

Agreed. I understand wanting to match. Any good quality upper should work very good with your lower.

 

I considered bcm for my next stripped upper but the price difference is steep. Decided to just go with Andersen. This lower is Andersen as well as most of my others and no complaints there so far

 

Sweet! Just looking for some new optics for mine, thank you for your time.

 

I've been saving for one of those for a while. Saw this on ig today too

 

Of course man!!

Heck yeah man! It's a great optic! You won't be disappointed!!

 

So 14.5 inch or 16 inch barrel?

 

Vortex has a great military discount too. I've always had an easy experience dealing with them.

 

If you are going to do some paper work and SBR it, 14.5". If you don't want to do paperwork 16". You can fuck around with pinning and welding a long flash hider to a 14.5", but then it's a bitch to work on later down the road. Pistol braces have also came a long way...if you would rather build a 14.5" pistol. Of course, the lower can't ever have been a rifle before, but you knew that. Crazy ass laws.

 

That's awesome!!

 

Yeah trust me cali makes things clear. I was just looking into a 14.5 Becuase I have a 16 inch and if I go Anthony different it would be between 14.5 and 18". Then it makes me think why go 18" in 556 when I could go AR10 for a long range rifle. So this why I'm stuck trying to choose.

-your choice would be 16?

 

Does this BCG look properly staked to you guys? I am skeptical about it and want some input.

 

Looks very close to me who makes it?

Are you talking about the top right?

 

It's an AIM NIB BCG, and I'm talking about all four burrs. This is my other BCG which makes me feel more comfortable. Just wondering if I should get it re-staked.
