AR-15 BS Thread

I wouldn’t do 5.56 with a 5.5 inch barrel, maybe a shorty 300 black but ammo is still stupid high. What barrel and caliber are you looking at?

 

If I get one it will be 556. Would like for my collection w 516 & 716. No suppression.

 

Has anyone else watched this guy's channel? I've watched a few of his videos over the last couple of days and learned a ton about BCGs.

Yep he is very informative.

 

OK I have no experience with the fixed position stocks on these rifles other than the original type. So far i am looking at either the Fab defense RAPS stock or the magpul MOE rifle stock for full length buffer tubes. I kinda like the simplicity of the MOE but am open to suggestions

I see the functionality of the RAPS stock but so much less to go wrong with the MOE

 

I would go with a 11.5 inch or longer then. And no suppression?? No fun.

 

The pressurization also helps prevent particulates from getting in.

 

any shorter, and I might as well just throw the bullet at them. Lol

 

That's sweet!

 

Seriously loving this channel (not me and no affiliation).

Just watched and followed this to replace that rear takedown a few days ago, great video!

 

I was looking at some enhanced pins about a month ago but decided against it because I didn't want to mess up staking on my Magpul end plate. After running across that video I'll probably be ordering some shortly.

 

I sure would not like to catch one being thrown that fast!!

 

Did anybody notice the TRIGGER...........?

 

Binary or something?

 

Works great. I just ground down a 1/16 Allen key and it worked perfect.

 

Yes I watch him and others

Important Safety Recall for Certain Colt Modern Sporting Rifles
Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (Colt) has recently discovered a potential safety issue with certain of its semi-automatic only Modern Sporting Rifles (“MSR”). Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall to protect the safety of its customers because of the potential for certain MSRs to discharge unintentionally and because of its commitment to the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, you should immediately stop using your MSR and not load or fire it until you have determined if it is affected, and it has been upgraded if necessary.

Under certain conditions, it is possible that some Colt MSRs may discharge a second round when the trigger is released with a live round in the chamber. Colt has identified the cause of this condition as being hammers installed in certain MSRs that do not meet Colt’s specifications. The issue will be corrected by replacing the hammer in affected MSRs.

The recall only covers the following MSRs manufactured beginning on March 5, 2021: AR15A4, CR6700A4, CR6920, CR6920-EPR, CR6920MPS-B, CR6921, CR6921-EPR, CR6933, CR6933-EPR, CR6960, LE6920-EPR, LE6920MPS-B, LE6920-OEM1, LE6920-OEM2, LE6920-R, LE6933-EPR, SP633784, and LE6920SOCOM. These MSRs could still be for sale at dealers TODAY.

The chart to the right lists all the serial numbers for those models that may potentially be subject to the recall.

 

So I'm putting together my first AR pistol build. Picked up a complete lower with the Pistol Buffer tube.

Before I swap that tube out for a carbine style or pick up a brace with it's own tube, I'm going to try out (low hanging fruit if you will) one of the slip on (more like force on) style braces. Seems like the SBT SBM4, SBT SOB and KAK shockwave are all decent options.

Anyone with experience/feedback on these or others I may have missed. Right now I'm leaning towards the SBM4 due to better cheek weld.
