AR-15 BS Thread

Well shit, I don't need one now! Thanks for the link.

 

Grip Preference. Dose any one have a preference of one grip over another? I was considering Magpul MOE K2 or MOE K2+

 

Personal preference. The K2 is good for a gun you’re going to run collapses with a short length of pull up close to the body. I have the K2, Moe plus and Ergo Grips on guns currently. All are great.

 

Check out the LaRue furniture. That's what I run on everything.

 

Word to the wise, that cheap Chinese knock-off of the Radian Charging handle is complete garbage...

 

I typically don't like to rely on Chinese and Hong Kong parts on a weapon system or something built for combat.

 

Installed the BCM Mod 0 muzzle devise this weekend. Have not shot it but it seems like a solid piece.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Very wise words indeed. As a general rule of thumb the more moving parts, the more failure points. Add Chineseium to the mix and you are asking for trouble. I like BCM charging handles.

 

The new BCM's are especially good, I am a huge fan of Radian though.

 

I like all things BCM. Ive so far had fast shipping times as well.

 

Just got word that the sba3 brace I pre ordered through brownells last week shipped. $97.99 shipped. Lowest I've seen it online so for.

Bring my build up to:

Aero stripped upper
Radian LT charging handle
Toolcraft NIB BCG
Rise armament 140 trigger
11.5 faxon carbine barrel (stamped brownells)
SBA3 brace

Planning on the Aero m4e1 lower, just waiting for it to go on sale. Also shopping for a 12" handguard. Reddit gundeals is killing my bank account.

 

Tactical Shit is running a 17.75% discount site wide. Coupon code: FREEDOMTITS

 

Agreed, I've got 3 of their rifles

 

Might as well post it in here too

finishing up my first AR build

took one of these super stock Colt 6900s that we won in a raffle




And turned it into this



(still in the mail)
Magpul CTR stock
magpul MIAD grip

Precision armament m4-72 muzzle break w/washers
melonite gas block tube
stngr HWK 15" mlok rail
aero aluminum forged upper
magpul BAD
geissele SSA-E trigger
geissele super 42 buffer spring
vortex 1-8x24 strike eagle

looking into an ambi selector switch and a new charging handle

Havent had any function issues so I might just leave the bcg as is

 

I had to unsubscribe.

 

Got some trigger time today. I finished this build back in april but just barely got it sighted in today. Smallest group I got was 1.75 in at 100 yards. It's not broken in yet but I think it's me who needs more breaking in than the rifle.

 

Stock recommendations? Project is moving along and everybody's advice has been great, thanks.

 

LaRue!

 

My son and I decided to start into the world of AR15 builds by assembling a rifle kit. Palmetto State Armory has their M4 Carbine kits on sale for $299 this week so we both ordered one. Hope to receive it next week and assemble it next weekend. Although they also have lowers on sale, I'm going to go to a local shop and pick one up - probably a Spike's Unmarked stripped lower. I've also ordered a Magpul flip-up rear sight and a different front hand guard.

Anyone have any experience with PSA kits/rifles? The reviews are generally good on their site but I recognize they are not among the higher quality manufacturers. But, as a first try at putting one together, I figured going with something at under $500 was worth the investment.
