AR-15 BS Thread

Wait, you guys actually clean your guns? Mine will get a little spray of oil and motor oil on the high wear parts and then every now and then (maybe once a year or every 2 years) will get a brush down the bore.

 

how do you like the SS80 kit?

 

Honestly?
NO! Not my ARs, I forgot what thread I was in haha. I do clean my competition AR in 224 Valkyrie, I'm running CFE223 and it's a lil dirty, but gets shot a lot,,,. So much, I'm wondering what my barrel life is going be.

 

Was real easy to grind and drill the SS80 frame.
That single stack frame really fits my average sized hands nicely, especially with the mag extention.
Just waiting on parts...G48 slide just showed today. Going for a G43/G48 deal...that darn marinegunbuilder guy got me thinking i needed more guns...lol.
Looks like it will be a fun little gun.
Ended up spending more than i should have...ah well, easy come, easy go.

 

You mean that YOU had to move out haha. I feel the pain

 

Same here. I used to shoot a lot more, now not nearly as much. I used to wear out bores with more cleaning than they needed, I think. My AR? got it, pulled a bore snake thru it twice. Since then a little Kroil, that's it. Ima shoot it til it jams, it hasn't yet.

 

My beauty. Haven’t shot it yet, but hopefully soon. Ruger 5.56 with Hera furniture

 

For those on the fence about buying a magnifier, these are the first 5 shots at 75 yards using the magnifier with a SIG Romeo 5

 

Nice! Been debating getting one for quite some time, but that group definitely has me leaning toward adding one to my "cart"!

 

I’d recommend one!

 

Well, the IMI shoots a little hotter than my other ammo. It prints right above the groups of my Fed, Win, and Wolf. Groups really tight as well.

 

11 rounds through the SBR Un-suppressed to function check with the new Armaspec SRS spring assembly, the H2 is very close to properly tuned without the suppressor, although the bolt didn’t lock back the brass is between 7 and 9 o’clock (shooting out of the drivers side window).
The recoil impulse is super smooth, I’m not sure if it’s only from the increased buffer weight (H to H2) or a combination of that and the dual spring system.

 

usually is a bit hotter

 

I use the dishwasher and heat dry setting

 

Yeah, it's made at the Turkish NATO ammo plant and runs hotter

 

My FFL called Saturday to tell me my package arrived.



Put a 18” 6.5 Grendel upper on it.



Now to get some decent weather to warm the barrel up.

 

I love Grendel. I have a 16" Grendel Hunter upper (their old pattern with the type 1 bolt and Satern barrels) that shoots real well.

I took a deer with it last season (123 Grain Hornady SST) and recently shot it out to 640 meters.

 

Awesome!

that’s my intention also to take a deer or two with mine. I have some 123 grain Hornady Black M or 129 grain Nosler accuebond shells which ever shoots better.

 

Mine should be here Tomorrow! Sold my PA 3x in a Larue mount so I could fund the Vortex Micro 3x. Pretty excited.

Plot twist, just checked tracking. It's coming today!
