AR-15 BS Thread

^What length handguard?

 

Ordered a Stark SE-3 vertical grip to replace my Magpul AFG.

An M4 carbine is too short to shoot with an AFG. Gets uncomfortbale quickly.

 

VTAC Rail TRX Extreme 11", FDE.

I removed the front sight and installed a low-profile gas block.
I have yet to test-fire it with the new gas block.

 

Shopping spree for the new builds today.



Finished one upper today. waiting on barrel nut for the next one.

 

Just signed up for a 1-day carbine course in April. The perfect excuse to get some real trigger time and break in my new carbine!

Also bought 500 FMJ bullets to reload for the class, a MOE plus grip to replace the TDI grip and another pack of CR123A batteries.

 

Took off the AFG...added a Stark vertical foregrip

 

is that the aimpoint or vortex?

 

Actually neither.

It's a Primary Arms multi reticle red dot sight and a Primary Arms 3x magnifier....the 3x is on a flip away mount.

 

oh nice, how do you like it with the magnifier?

 

I've always wanted a magnifier for my aimpoint.

 

i really need to shoot an eotech and aimpoint so I can decide which one I want. Ive only shot scopes, irons, and acogs. Im thinking a red dot with a 6x magnifier

 

For 50-100 yards.....it's nice....3x is just right. I've seen 5x and other magnifiers....think it would be too much for an AR in my opinion.

 

Got two Anderson stripped lowers today. Hmm where too go with these builds.

 

1st post edit

 

Hit the range today. Function on my newest AR was 100%, sighted it in at 50 yds in preparation for my carbine class. Also chrony'd my new plinking load at 2770 +/- 20 fps (24.5 gr of TAC under a 55 gr cannelured soft point). It was a good day.

 

Went out to my brothers in-laws farm for some shooting...snapped a shot of him at 100yd. Stretched the 15-22 out to 100yds and was spinning the steel like a windmill. Was able to keep 1.5in groups at 250yds with the 5.56 prone with the bipod on the next terrace out. Good day in the sun!

 

Sounds like fun!

 

Nice. That should go in the "ninja" taco photo thread. Very low key.

 

Looking for a red dot under $100. Any suggestions? I looked at a center point today at wally world but I'm not sure about it.

 

This one is as nice as the red dots that are ~$100, plus it comes with a cantilever mount. Mine has spent time on an AR, an AK and now it sits in a 30mm low ring on my Buckmark. It has the blue tinted glass that is prevalent on low end red dots, but it's built very solid. On sale for $57 right now.
