New Mexico Owners BS Thread

its a spikes lower w stag parts kit, and an all stag upper..... shot about 200 rounds through it the other day. Had a few fail to battery/feed, and I was thinking, "wtf, this thing is a fucking POS", tried 3 different magazines, took the bolt out and inspected it, blah blah blah blah blah. Nothing. when I was cleaning up brass after the shoot, I noticed there was an ugly ass, chewed up 7.62 round amongst the salvage. Guess what my problem was...

 

Wasup fellow New Mexicans? I'm subbing to this thread.

 

nice!!! welcome! las cruses run next month!!! chili challange

 

Oo nice! Xd9? I just went shooting yesterday put 500 rd through my m&p no FTF or FTE!! Man this thing shoots like a dream lol I was thinking about building my own ar also. What parts would you recommend on beginning with?? I'm not sure what lower to go with it or upper was thinking of just getting cmmg or dpms

 

Beautiful, Blended!

Hieu, how was the recoil and accuracy of the 9 vs the 45? I bet it was a huge improvement. Just the fact that you ran through 500 tells me something.

Guess we need a gun meet, huh?

 

Oh yeah it's two different worlds lol I find the m&p grip much more comfortable only problem is that my white dot on the front sight lol

 

You can't afford the tickets to my gun show..... bahahaha sorry it was just to easy....

 

It's an XDM.

The AR deal is a whole new ball game. Lowers are a funny business, especially because there are about 6 manufacturers who make them for all 7 million companies that sell them. I've run stag, spikes, palmetto state, and lmt lowers. Personally, I like them all. Stag is a really solid company, and all their parts are mil-spec, so you're getting a better grade of crap. Everybody is on spikes tactical's nuts these days for a reason. You can score a pretty cool looking spikes lower for about 120. a stag lower parts kit will cost you 60 bucks. buffer tube and stock, (mil spec), will be another 60.

Uppers are much different. If you get a crap upper, you get a crap gun. My "end of the world gun", is a larue upper with JP bolt/carrier, and noveske barrel. the combo will cost you about a grand and a half, but god damn guaranteed to outshoot anything on the planet, and it is 100% life dependable. I've got a BCM upper, too, which I love. the BCM upper, with BCG will run you about 650, which is a good price, to top notch quality. Although bravo doesn't yet have the reputation as some of the most premier ar builders, they are fast developing. They have a demo gun which has over 30k full auto rounds through it without a cleaning, and its still running strong.

If you're price conscious and want the best possible quality, I'd go with a bravo upper, spikes/stag lower, and a stag lower parts kit. You'll be out the door for about 900, and you'll have a badass gun you can plink with, or count your life on. let me know if I can help with other shit

 

welcome

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks man! I've seen you goin up Montgomery before. You're the only tacoma from tw i've actually recognized on the steets lol. I love your truck btw.

 

Yeah I do... 5 days a week.

 

nice, I figured you do. bummer to parking at soiuth lot haha. I sprained my ankle last year and get to park in the handicap spots . Normally I park in Q lot though.

 

Actually I busted my ankle and then was able to get a handicap plaquard good for 6 months. I was only on crutches for about a month... I can walk perfectly fine now. My laziness will stop in a couple weeks though when my pass expires...

 

Hey greg, where are you getting your speer gold dot Hp's from? i can't seem to find any store that sells them locally, either that or they're sold out..

 

I usually get it at my local shop but they've been out for a while. I buy a lot of ammo at midwayusa.com and cabelas.com too.

 

gunbroker is a good spot for ammo, too. they've got vendors with pretty cheap stuff. Shipping usually isn't too bad. just be careful, alot of people will list something as "speer gold dot", when in fact it is a reload using factory speer cases and speer bullets. You may run into liability issues if you're using it as defense ammo.

 

Howdy New Mexicans! Deming checking in! I knew I was in the right spot when I saw pics of Ar's and discussions about where to find ammo!

Just picked up an 09 Tacoma

 

Welcome!!

 

Nice! Welcome.
