AR-15 BS Thread

I’m Army.... what the crap did you just say??

 

I would never spend that much for one but I found one in new condition at a pawn shop for $650. I’m not sure they knew what they had though. I was actually planning on the scorpion but couldn’t pass up the Angstadt

 

Any recommendations for a cheap red dot for my .22 upper? Found the Vortex Strikefire 2 bright red on sale for $135 the red/green is on sale for $130 at PSA

Nice!

 

Which one do you like? the cheapest one or the AAA battery? 2 moa or 2moa with 65moa circle?

 

I think the battery choice I'd make based on what batteries you already keep/use, but the presence of the 65moa donut of death is really an item where it's up to you on whether you'd use it IMO. I like my dots without for an uncluttered view, but if you shoot 2/3gun where the bottom edge of the circle at very close distances represents a good aimpoint on target or find yourself otherwise involved with CQC work it is a very fast and dirty way to hold on target and get hits.

 

I mean for that price I'd jump on it lol

 

It took about 3 weeks for my 10.5” pistol kit to get to me. The wait sucks, but it was worth it.

 

Their shipping times are all over the place, i ordered my 10.5 kit on a monday and had it a week later. Ordered a trigger the next month and took 3 weeks to get it in...

 

Kit/bundle processing. Woo!

 

Alright....trying to remove a muzzle brake (Rocksett). I've tried the soaking in water for 48 hours twice with no success. Any other suggestions?

 

I've heard boiling water is the ticket myself, along with a reaction rod/receiver vise/barrel vise and judicious torque.

 

Thanks, I'll try the boiling water method.

 

I guess I'm the exception with PSA - every order I've made has shipped within a few days. I ordered some aluminum mags the other day on their Christmas sale and they shipped the same day.

I got the last part I needed to put my PSA M4A1 clone lower together. Just waiting for PSA to get their pinned/welded 14.5" M4 Uppers back in stock and I can finish it up...except for the optics.

 

I love the 14.5s! They go fast! Every time I see them, I'm low on cash

 

I've been heavily debating between a 14.5 or a 20" for those retro internet points. A PSA A4 with a new upper receiver could be a quick, cheap way to a proper A2.

 

Man, you guys got some nice toys!

 

I ordered my first AR last week. It came in a few days ago, but won't be able to pick it up until the 31st. Went with a Ruger AR556 from Buds Gun for $479, which was hard to pass up.

 

Those are good rifles, and Ruger's warranty is near-unbeatable.
