AR-15 BS Thread

Congrats on taking the plunge! Assemble it inside a plastic grocery bag or equivalent. You’ll inevitably drop a small component or flick a spring. The bag keeps small bits from teleporting into the shadow realm.

 

Detent spring motto

Live laugh launched across the room

 

I'll have to check them out. Been looking on r/gundeals but usually as soon as its posted on there, it gets sold out.

 

Check out Trushot while I think it sucks they don't allow free pickup for az locals if you're buying large bulk quantities they have some of the best if not the best pricing out there.


Current prices seem to be trending back upward again....

 

Add safety glasses to the list.

 

because nobody likes detent-imbedded-sclera

 

Would you pay $400 for this:
ADM ambi lower complete with no stock.
milspec buffer tube, carbine buffer and spring.
ALG ACT trigger
radian talon safety
pws ratcheting castle nut
fde bcm pistol grip

Kicker.
I have the ALG, pws, bcm grip,cmmg lpk, and a buffer tube/system all at my house in my spare parts bin waiting to be installed in a stripped lower.
Since all these thing are already on the lower in question I'd probably sell it off all in a package for about $150.
So that means Id be net into the lower minus those thing but plus a talon safety for around $250.
The lowers on sale without the talon are about $300 stripped. So I'm thinking getting this for $400 is a pretty solid deal.

 

SEEKINS PRECISION - SP223
All ambi, absolutely outstanding lower. even has take up adjustments for Trigger and Upper wobble.
I have a DMR (precision .223 Black Hills 77gr only) upper and a Rifle length 20" Std FN upper (any trash ammo 5.56 or .223) that are perfectly interchangeable.
I am a huge fan!

 

castle nut wrench is pretty much it. That pin for the front take down pin trick would be nice to try it because it is a SOB. Outside of that a punch set or something equivalent

 

May recommend a nylon or similar hammer. The brass can leave streaks on your Hardcoat that can be difficult to remove.

 

I've had a seekin sp223 and sold it about a year ago.
If I remember correctly, it didnt' have an ambi mag release.

 

i use threaded bolt catch and drop in trigger . No hammer required. but for him 100% lol

 

huh... mine has ambi bolt release and safety. Cant remember off the top about the mag release. But as a righty, I wouldn't have paid much attention.

 

Yeah I believe the bolt release is the only thing that made it ambi b/c the safety can be added to any lower and didn't come with the sp223 but is added and not ambi mag release.

 

Waiting for cheap 5.56 ammo to pop up now! lol

 

any reason you cannot use .223?
.223 is at about .36/rd right now. 5.56 @ .50/rd

 

I was referring to when the military changes over to the new Sig rifles and handguns. Then all the remaining surplus 5.56 should be cheap! I shoot .223, I've stocked several thousand of Wolf Gold .223. Awesome ammo by the way.

 

Im always on the lookout for Silver Bear. I like the 62gr. and the Zinc Pl makes the Steel Cases feed like butter, also great ammo!

Wish Federal still had the Lake City Contract. Less than enthused with Winchester.

 

I've got a lot of the Fed xm193 and m855 too. Haven't shot any of the newer Win stuff. In my experience, the Win Q3131 has always shot well out of my rifles.

 

Yeah, I mean they have to meet certain specs for the military.
The old white box stuff has left a bad taste in my mouth over the years. Its my own hangup... hahaha
