AR-15 BS Thread

PWS pistons seem to beat every DI gun I’ve metered at ear. I haven’t seen much difference between DI and piston at the muzzle but I haven’t tried many as most of the test uppers are piston.

 

That's kinda my thinking. If you want quieter at ear, piston for sure. If you just want hearing safe, piston vs DI might not make any real difference. It's all about what you want, quieter vs cheaper.

 

personally I only care about at ear numbers. I have HORRIBLE tinnitus when it acts up and working in a machine shop doesn’t help. I wear ear pro when shooting anything even suppressed. The only exception being suppressed .22.

 

Almsot done...

 

Alright guys, 6.5 grendel uppers. Any pointers on what i should look at or better yet avoid?

Delta team tactical has quite a few options but i cantc find anything on them.

 

Larue Ultimate Upper

 

Lots of good info here if you have time. The OP of this thread is very experienced with grendels. He also wrote 2 reloading books for them.

I'd avoid Bear Creek Arsenal, personally. Mine has been reliable but inaccurate with all of the ammo I've used, and with a cartridge like Grendel I value accuracy highly. In the guise of a steel case shooting plinker it's been pretty fun but groups like 9moa with wolf lol.

 

Yeah I'm intrigued by the stuff on Delta Team's site because of the price point and the ones I was looking at were Aero uppers w/ Ballistic Advantage barrels which I've been very happy with. At the same time I've been doing some reflecting and I think I'm just going to make a very large ammo purchase. I could use some more of just about everything I have anyway and shooting long range I'm not too worried about quick follow up shots so bolt guns are very very enjoyable. I already take my 556 AR w/ a BA barrel out to 500 and thats the longest range I have access too sortof often.

Plan now is more fed gmm 308, 223 match, a bunch of 55gr 556 and a couple thousand rounds of 9mm. A new upper and caliber would be cool but not really something I need, more ammo to shoot what I've already got would be a better purchase.

 

More ammo is never bad.

 

Bear Creek Arsenal has some "issues".

Picked up a bike tube while I was in town to make a ranger band for my sling, we’ll see how it grows on me, seems like it will be a pain to re-tuck after deployment if used for something other than bedside duties.

 

Anyone have the MP 15-22?
Really want to get it as a plinker and for my wife to use w/o complaining about the noise.

 

No personal experience, but I know Appleseed bans them categorically because of some safety issues that weren't fixed. I'd get a 22lr upper for an AR15 or a marlin/1022/cz 455 over one myself just on feel.

I had one I did sell it about a yr ago. I never had any issues with it and I would say roughly 7,000 rounds down range accuracy was nothing to really brag about but good with Federal bulk ammo. If I do another AR style 22 it will be H&K 416D better made gun and accuracy is about seems about the same if not a little better.

If you can find the CMMG 22 conversation kit I would get that....

 

I thought they have an accuracy guarantee? Wonder if something is out of spec.

 

That is sexy!

 

You are sounding too much like a responsable adult! Why not both!!

 

Honestly, I've not bothered to even check. It was supposed to be a short range rifle for me anyway, so crappy accuracy didn't bother me.
