AR-15 BS Thread

Ok, so I checked out dvor and found the Faxon 8.5" barrel for $89, the CMC trigger for $125, the ambi charging handle for $21, the Elftmann safety for $28. I can get everything for $294 shipped. Only thing left will be the BCG(either Faxon or Aero), rail(Aero), muzzle device, and sights(not decided on those....leaning towards BUIS).

And b/c I like pics

 

Have you used that elftman safety before? I am thinking about getting a couple

 

Midway has DD fixed sights in brown for $95 if you like those.

 

Also, I can get a Trybe BCG for $109 or a Faxon for $129. I have no experience with either one, but in my mind the Faxon should work well with their barrel, so I'm leaning a bit more towards it.....unless there's a reason I should save the $20

Trybe



Faxon

 

A few times That's all I run.

 

The only sights I have ever fooled with is a Vortex Strikefire II. I have some basic BUIS that came on my Panzer BP 12 and the 410 upper I bought....but have yet to actually shot either one

 

I'd pay more for the Faxon.
I've seen pics of Trybe's where the gas key sheered right off.

 

Those look pretty safe already without a barrel

 

Ahh wasn't sure if you were looking for actual sights or and optic of some kind. Lots of people run the DD with an optic also.

 

I was leaning towards the Faxon just b/c I know their reputation for 9mm AR barrels and assumed the BCG would work well.........but I don't want to "waste" $20 if I didn't have to For the $20 extra, I think it'd be a better bet....cause if I have to replace it.....that's $109 thrown up a wild hog's ass

 

Uh, aren't those PCC bolts? How does the gas key sheer off in a blowback gun?

 

Trybe makes BCG's for multiple calibers. If their quality is low for one caliber, not worth saving the $20 to find out if it sucks for their pistol caliber BCG's also.

 

The safest

I'm honestly not sure which way I want to go on this one. I have another EPC-9 lower that I will eventually SBR, so I don't know if I want to keep them the same or try different setups.

 

My ar-9 currently only has a red dot. If i were to build another I think I would put fixed irons on it only. And if I were to do that, the DD irons are definitely the ones I'd run as I think they are the best quality and I like the style. But that's just me.

 

I will check those out. The only BUIS I have, came on my 410 upper and Panzer BP 12. I have yet to shoot either one of those

 

I don't use my irons as much as I should. I really need to make it more of a habit to practice with them more.
Well need to shoot in general more also haha.

 

I honestly just enjoy building AR's. I much prefer to shoot pistols.

 

what CH is that ?

 

A cheap-ass Presma ambi one. I can't bring myself to pay $80 for an Aero Breach at the moment. These aren't service guns, so a cheap CH will be fine.
