AR-15 BS Thread

@p1smo use @plurpimpin pics and compare them to the 1st pic in my post since they are the same rail models on 16's. That's going to give you a true apples to apples comparison right there.
Best I can do with what I'm working with at work.

 

Lol I still can't decide

 

I'm a sucker for more tuck.

 

Probably what I'll end up doing just to be safe. Already have a couple rail setups that run to the end and I know I like that look, but also kinda want to do something different too... Have swapped setups on my rifles enough that I like to make sure what I'm building is gonna stay that way. Money too tight these days to swap around parts like I used to.

 

I kinda like the longer handguards myself, just personal preference. My Larue has a 18” Barrell with 13” handguard the others are 16” barells with 15” handguards the longer ones just feel less crowded and more real estate for lights

 

Welp... so much for that AR rebuild, at least for now. Got an email update that Scalarworks Leap/06 + Aimpoint 3x-C combos were back in stock, and I've been wanting one for a while so there went my rebuild budget.

 

Well that’s kinda exciting. I’ve been waiting for Larue to get there straight trigger back in stock for months idk what in the hell their hold up is. I get your feeling though kinda fun when you find something you want back in stock

 

Yeah I couldn't pass on it. Would've put the combo together separately, but Aimpoint magnifiers (no mount) have been sold out pretty much everywhere, with some sites saying they don't expect restock until spring of next year. Seems like that's the case with a lot of stuff these days.

 

I’ve been trying to be patient, not one of my strong points, I bought a rise trigger to complete the last one but I’ll keep waiting. Idk with a lot of these companies if it’s availability of materials or what

 

It's a lot of things, but I'll refrain from ranting about it to keep the forum on topic. I'll just say there's no time like the present, which is why I'm trying to wrap up whatever loose ends and bucket list items I can, because who knows what things are going to be like a few years from now.

 

Was looking at picking up one of their mag mounts to go with my mro 1.93 mount

Then last weekend I looked through a sig tango 6T 1-6 their upper end lpvo now I'm leaning going to a high end 1-6 on my 13.7 now I'm kinda back on the lpvo bandwagon especially the more forgiving eyebox on the 1-6. Now just need to figure out which 1-6 to go with

 

It's for my 11.5 so I wanted something light and easy to match the T2. I've also got a 1-6x Razor on one of my 14.5 and love it; wish I'd jumped on the Razor hype train sooner. It does add a good chunk of weight though, but the glass and overall quality is fantastic. Love the bronzed, rose gold color too.

Was gonna keep things a little more simple on that 16" I want to rebuild though. Will probably put the Vortex 1-8x FFP Strike Eagle on it.

Edit: Wow, just checked Scalarworks site again and they're already sold out of that combo in less than half a day. Glad I decided to get it.

 

Just putting it out there that Focus Camera has 1-6x Strike Eagles and Vipers (with mount) with 250/200 off respectively with discount codes VORTEX250 and VORTEX200. Its not across the line on the optics so it only works on some.

 

What Rise trigger?

 

The Razor 1-6 is prob the leading candidate for me. Will probably have to wait a bit though because getting another can first

 

I'm far from an expert on high-end optics, but from my meager collection of Leupold and Nightforce, the Razor is hands down the nicest to look through, best eye relief too. Makes me wish I had gotten the Razor 5-20x for my AR-10 instead of the NXS 3.5-15x. At the time I just figured 20 power was a bit much for my needs.

 

140 I think I’ll have to look but pretty sure that’s it. Single stage

 

have some version of a ryse in my 6.5 grendal. As someone who only used standard ar triggers before I think its pretty good.

 

It is a nice trigger. I have no regrets in buying it. Just something I like better with the Larue plus I’d like for all of them to have same grips and triggers. Does it really matter? No just a preference

 

I swear by the RA-535 now
