AR-15 BS Thread

Not a fan of AFG's myself. I went with a Magpul hand-stop. I didn't use all of it though. You'll see in the pic that I placed the large part on the rail backward. I wrap my index finger around it and seems to work well for me. YMMV

 

i'll be doing foliage green to my AR very soon, just havnt decided if i wanna krylon it or cerakote it. shooting a black rifle out in the desert when its 115 out sucks balls.

 

Hey guys. I'm not new to guns but new to ARs. Got this from a friend for $700, he got it from a friend who build it I guess. Barrel is a Wylde, Trigger is a CMC from what I can tell, charging handle is Raptor? Don't know much about it other than that. Anything anyone else can tell about just by looking?

 

Looks to be a pretty good build, not bad for $700.

 

Great, Thanks, I just ordered an Aimpoint Pro on the advice of a friend of mine who was a Marine.

 

I'd throw a scope on it. Or a magnifier, since you ordered an aimpoint. Thing looks more tailored towards long range shooting

 

Yeah so thats one question I have, how can I make it a shortrange gun? What's the shortest barrel I can put on it? I feel like the front (stock?) is pretty heavy too. I have tons of long range guns already, hunting rifles.

 

To make it more apt for short range/lighter you would need to change the barrel length which would mean changing to the gas tube to midlength or carbine length, and changing the handguard. Shortest barrel length is 16". you can get a shorter barrel but the muzzle device has to be pinned and welded (double check me on that) and the length of muzzle device+barrel=16".

 

Build a second upper, the shortest legal (Non NFA) barrel you can use is 16".
The front is the forearm.

What is NFA?

 

You're correct, unless he files a form 1 and pays the $200 tax stamp for a SBR.

 

Ok so on my 7" SBR the hand guard is a little short, I enjoy the short barrel length but I want a little more hand guard, thinking a noveske pig flash hider (Maker?) and a 2 or 3" longer hand guard.

 

BTW, @tcBob chose an awesome pic for the header of this forum.

 

@tcBob has very good taste

 

Isn't that technically a pistol since it doesn't have a stock?

 

Yes, that was taken when I was waiting on my form 1 to come back.

This is the semi-current configuration (added a TLR-1 HL to it yesterday and haven't had a chance to take pics).

 

that's purdy. definitely gonna treat myself to an sbr next year

 

Started out pretty simple with a BCM upper and local lower. Magpul furniture.





Got a Rainier lower with a Vltor IMOD, then threw on a Midwest rail, Vortex PST 1-4, and a Streamlight for home use. It's main purpose is 3Gun now. Still running a GI trigger like a goof, though.

 

How you liking the PST? I'm thinking about snatching one up. Either that or the Leupold AR mod
