AR-15 BS Thread

Should not have to do that.

Did you use the proper pin and spring?

 

Pointy end up, and I always add a tiny bit of quality grease. I like copper anti-sieze (Loctite C5-A). I've never had to cut a coil, but as long as the safety isn't loose you should be OK.

 

You didn't use a takedown pin spring on accident did you?

 

Or the BHO release pin and spring.
Those are commonly confused.

 

No they were all separated in the colored bags and I didn't mix them up. The pin was facing the correct way. I just removed the pin and added a toothpick drop of gun oil on the track of the safety pin and it moves flawless now

 

Just ordered a couple mags and still need a pair of sights

 

Just got in my LPK, buffer tube and associated parts, MOE stock, BAD Lever, and extended trigger guard, I am thinking of a 14.5" afghan with a 1.5 Battlecomp. Rob_S, any input on the muzzle device?

 

The hole that holds the safety/select lever spring in Hogue grips weren't drilled down deep enough and gave me the same problem. Rather than cut springs I just drilled the hole a little deeper.

 

I guess either would have worked..anyway, I have it working great now

 

I havent watched these yet but Ive seen a lot of their other videos and figured it would be a good place to start.

unrelated to your post but I will post this for everyone else bc it really helped me with my stance and grip and I could tell imidiate improvements on recoil and follow up shots.

Gotta love bcm, ordered some stuff on the 11th and it showed at my house just now. They know how to get items to you in a timely fashion unlike some companies out there.

 

I have been reading reviews on both of these 16" uppers. The Stag looks to be a better deal since I am getting the charging handle, hand guard, and bolt carrier assembly with it for just a little more than the BCM. The reviews on both are really good it seems like so I am wondering if there is a reason I should opt for the BCM over Stag?

I dont think you could go wrong with either. I have the bcm bcg, charging handle and now their 18 barrel of which I just put on. But I'm sure stag is just as good for the price, I just chose bcm cause they had stuff in stock at the time.

 

well, i can tell immediately some differences between the two... the question is, which aligns w/ your desires?

- the stag is 1:9 twist, the BCM is 1:7
- the stag has a railed gas block, no front sight, the BCM appears to have a standard front sight base...

...so, do you have a preferences on these things?

 

Stags can be had with 1:7 twist you just pay a fee for that option.

Personally I ran a 1:9 with no issues with the 62gr speer ammo I used majority of the time. I went to a 1:8 when I just changed barrels.

 

lol this is the AR BS thread

 

I like the railed gas block on the stag because i can put a flip up front sight on it instead. Otherwise, i dont have any preference on the other stuff. I guess i need to read up on the twist differences. I do see that the more common twist is 1:7 though.

 

I love the "outside of CA" comment.

Are you triing to hide something?!?
