AR-15 BS Thread

Hmmm, 11.3 and 13.9 barrels came in yesterday, handguard came in today, I’m thinking that my 13.9 will replace my 11.5” because I like the extra handguard space and overall length will barely change once my resonator K is approved and I run that can instead of the Optimus.

 

I almost did the opposite, went from a 14.5 to an 11.5 upper with the same oss 5.56k can. The small loss in rail space wasn’t really noticed IMO.

 

13.9 is def my next length. What manufacturer did you go with?

 

I’ve burned myself a few times on the can by grabbing too far forward, maybe the extra rail space will stop it from happening.
I considered doing a recessed can but I don’t want to have to run the can all the time.

Ballistic Advantage, Black Friday sale.

 

That hasn’t happened to me *yet* I did grab a burn proof gear suppressor wrap though and it’s been great.

 

Next one I wanna build is a 14.5” for a training rifle/flex build.

I like to have a vertical grip or a hand stop on my shorter builds. Especially when the rail gets close to the muzzle. Granted, can’t put a VG on pistols so if you don’t like it, hand stop becomes the only option. Always been worried about getting a burn, but also don’t have any rails that go over my fake cans currently. But those don’t usually get too hot.

 

Whats everyones preferences on ambi charging handles? SOLGW has their marked Radian Raptor LT's for $45.

 

This is all I use, they’re awesome!

 

I may have a random MRO low mount in my parts bin if you're looking for one.

 

Will these work:

I got a standard radian raptor (not LT) I'll sell ya for $75 shipped.

 

I’m a fan of them

 

Big fan I've got kind of a smorgasbord of different ambi handles running on different rifles. Geissele SCH on my 11.5 BCM ambi on 16 and Aero breach on my ar10

 

Grabbed my Aero AR10 lower

 

I looked at those but they won't align properly with the MRO for full co-witness. Decided to get a 1/3 mount for the MRO and will go with standard height iron sights.

 

Well open the dadgum boxes my be is in transit so let me drool

 

I also grabbed a 19x b/c they waived the transfer fee and gave me a discount

 

Let me know when you're ready to get rid of that G19. I really want a G17, but a G19 will do! lol

 

It's a bastard child of a G17 and G19 . 19x has a 19 slide with a 17 sized frame.

And this one is staying with me

 

Well, I know you like to buy more than you need, so I'm here to help you out with your excess.
