AR-15 BS Thread

My 18” Larue is an ultimate tack driver. On a good day, I can shoot 5 shot groups less than an inch @100 yards. With my other ARs, I’m getting 1”-1.5” groups.

 

A 2fer on Tuesday. Have to be thrifty so on the bottom is a new Tippmann M4-22 pistol with a Mask. 1 range day with it so far and I'm impressed. As reliable as any other rimfire I own and way cheaper to run through 500 rounds on AR controls (Also get bonus malfunction drills because cheap 22lr is cheap).

On the top for length reference, and because the discussion was accurate uppers is an 18" BSF barrel that I tried all the accuracy lore with (squared the receiver face, shimmed the barrel/receiver interface) and it is way more accurate than me.

 

Got fished in by a Cheaper Than Dirt email and ordered a Wilson Combat lower with no real plan. Probably build it up with a LaRue trigger for my nice rifle, then decide what I want to do with the other lower. I don't have a .22LR, so might go that route.

 

I always wanted to build an AR in 22lr.

 

Same but then I just bought a m&p 15-22 for less than $400 a long time ago and it scratched that itch.

 

Palmetto makes a 22LR upper, but who knows what kind of itch I will have when stock is available. All my current lowers are built out with standard kits, just thought I might put together a nicer one. But that leaves me with an unused one, and we can't have that.

 

I'm the opposite right now. Spare upper with no lower.

 

Fix it

 

well i'm at the point where I have enough ar's that I can be picky about the lowers I want. The problem with that right now is everyone's price is still super inflated. I'll just have to wait it out. Not paying $250 for a stripped blem geissele lower haha.

 

Why not try out a CMMG .22LR conversion Bravo kit? Much cheaper and your friends can use it in their ARs when they run low on ammo.

 

I tried one, shot like garbage because the AR barrel twist is too fast. Bought an actual 22 barrel, all better.

 

I actually had one of these also before I got my 15-22. Figured it was a good trade off but then I just figured to pay a little extra for a whole complete gun that has the proper twist rate barrel. those kits around liek $180 is. For $150 more i was able to get a whole 15-22.

 

I guess for my COF practice I don't mind it's accuracy within 40 yards

 

I did look at those and did a bit of research and came to a similar conclusion as golfindia. I would prefer a dedicated .22 barrel. That said, who knows what I will end up doing, but open to hear about any options anyone has tried.

 

I've heard it called a Big Fucking Deal, which I agree with. They're almost as good as a suppressor for being able to run a brake when you're alone but not have it concuss bystanders when there's company.

 

I’m pretty sure surefire has one has well that fits the surefire qd system if you’re already on that platform.

The wardens have been discontinued which caused price on the muzzle devices that work with them and also the wardens to jump in price. Avg price is now $190 if in stock anywhere or $200 in the gun community market.
That being said, I've used a warden, kvp linear comp and a slr linear comp all on my 11.5 in and it does help a little with concussion to you and those around you.

 

In stock for now

Also have a 16 inch variant in stock too

 

Thanks I need to figure out what I want I guess. Kinda fun looking at all the optuons

 

I’m really trying to decide between building a pistol or a DMR. I had thought I may also build an AR10 as a DMR but haven’t thought much about it in a while. I typically try to maintain common ammo for simplicity. I also have a 270& 308 bolt actions that can fill that roll
