AR-15 BS Thread

Im so torn between a Sandman S and a Nomad 30 right now.

 

Fuck it get both. Sandman definitely is my favorite can. Might get the fde one too

 

I've been hovering the order now button on silencer shop for a Sandman for my aero 308 build. Tempting even with the tbac ultra 9 in jail

 

Did y'all see the Silencerco BOGO is back?

 

I’ve also considered the Ultra 7, just hard to justify with the price of the sandman lol.

I saw that, can’t find much info on the cans though as in reviews.

 

Yeah the Ultra 9 is going on my precision rifle and now I'm thinking I'm OK if it's a dedicated precision/bolt action can and I'm also opening up to the idea of getting a Sandman S to run on the .308 gasser and also my 11.5 bcm.

 

Here this can go with the Radical Lower posted last night. Barelled upper for $199 @ Primary Arms

My buddy has a Nomad 30 but wants an Ultra 9 for his 6.5 Creed chassis gun something bad.

 

Speaking of just got the stamp check cashed email on it this morning. It was tough to drop that TBAC $ but I knew if I didn't I would always regret it so just bit the bullet and did it.

 

How long have you been waiting?

 

30 days to cashed I'm guessing I'll get the approved call in about 10 months(I'd hope sooner but doubt it)

 

I got a button buck with my AR in 6.8 SPC last weekend and took the 224 V this weekend, but didn’t see anything big enough to take.
Edit: pic order bass ackwards, first pic is 224V and second is 6.8.

 

Odg blem geissele lowers are $109 at Brownells.

 

Thanks that’s a good heads up. I looked at it I’ll have to make my mind up order that or wait for an upper and lower Aero set

 

I stumbled on this while researching Anderson barrels https://youtu.be/WgdeOJicQWQ

 

Okay guys, lookin to replace the barrel on my 11.5” SBR, it seems as though I’ve shot it out, cleaning it this evening the bore brush was much looser than the other 556 rifle I cleaned and I think I’m at about 7K rounds, at least 4K being wolf/Tula.
It’ll be suppressed 99.8% of the time, which barrels should I be looking at? Budget around 300.

Obviously look at reputable brands, but I caution you if you’re using a AR and shooting rounds in any type of volume…AND suppressed…I would recommend some type of 4150 chrome moly unless you like replacing barrels. Heat is the primary component to barrel wear and throat erosion. Though….normally I know if the barrel is about shot when accuracy (group size) opens.

I use to check lands measurement with OAL gauge but I had a Remington 700 that had like 1.5 inches of wear past the free-bore and it still shot sub moa….until I cut the barrel back and re reamed it.

I hadn’t considered BCM, thanks!

I appreciate the info, I haven’t shot on paper or really much past 50 yards lately to notice a difference in accuracy/grouping, I just know that I’m hitting 66% ipsc steel at 240 yards if I do shoot past 50.
It just tripped me out having such a noticeable difference in pressure to put a .22 bore brush down 2 556 barrels.

The basic PSA (non premium) barrel that came with the upper. It started life as a basic PSA upper and I’ve swapped the BCG, CH, handguard, gas block and gas tube, so besides the barrel just the upper is PSA.

I haven’t but I don’t shoot paper or past 50 yards often and I haven’t painted my steel lately so I’m not that sure of where my hits are on steel.
