AR-15 BS Thread

I vote the sba3 also. I have one and I also have a shockwave blade 2.0 that adjust on my 9mm ar pistol. I thought I'd save a little cash and go that route but I will just end up selling it and getting another sba3 for that gun too...
Pic of my 11.5 with the sba3.

 

I should have asked everybody before I bought the sba4, not a fan of how big it is.

 

Many thanks for the response and pictures I am going to go with the SBA3

 

Good choice. Probably the best on the market at the moment. I even prefer them over the much more expensive SB PDW

 

yea I looked at those and they looked bulky to me and $$

 

this is my first time building an ar. i borrowed some tools and i've been unsupervised so far haha

 

Looks like you're doing well so far. Hope you didn't lose a take down detent as many do on their first builds.

 

didn't lose any! the cheaper than dirt videos were relaly helpful

 

A lot of people compare building AR's to Lego's for big kids. True, those detent springs can go a'flyin much like the smallest Lego pieces.

 

I bought a barrel from a company and they sent a pepperment and spare detents with it. Apparently they send spare detents with all their orders no matter what you ordered b/c they know they are lost so often haha.

 

Run a 4-40 tap in the rear one and put in a hex setscrew. Trim off the part of the spring that usually protrudes.

 

my buddy told me to assemble it in a box or tray. glad i did or i would have lost one

 

Yeah, I've seen people build their lowers inside a freezer bag so parts go flying they are trapped in the bag.

 

That's funny because Lego does the same thing with their small parts.

 

ha, didn't know that but makes sense.

 

Cracks me up! Triggered hahaha!

 

I'm trying to adjust the gas on my latest ar10 build, Aero upper and lower, Aero lower kit. When I'm firing to adjust the gas to stay open on the last round, it seems like nothing is happening, won't cycle at all, seems like the gas is going to the wrong place?

 

Are you saying the bolt won’t lock open on the last round?

 

How many rounds through the rifle now?
Adjustable gas block?
What BCG are you running?
What Buffer are you running?

 

Only does this on the last round?
